Promise Ridge in the Poconos is a venue space launched by a certified Life-Cycle Celebrant, Alisa Tongg. The venue specializes in creating small weddings and ceremonies for families and has become increasingly busy thanks to COVID-19 restrictions with couples looking to hold smaller, more intimate weddings and events.
The space is located in the Pocono Mountains "for those wishing to have a small casual wedding ceremony in a beautiful natural setting—in the woods of the Pocono Mountains overlooking the Appalachian Trail ridge." The experience is designed to be stress-free for couples and families with everything but the photographer and bouquet included in the package for couples.
Customers can book an event for up to 20 people for $3250.
