Meet the Owner’s

Welcome to ShalloW Ridge Wedding & event venue, llc

William & Linda Canady married in February 2003, 2 children. Son Corbin 21 and daughter Carly 18. We are a very close-knit family with a strong Christian faith!

William is a 5th generation farmer, a true-blue farmer down to his core. William takes pride in making sure his farming is the best it can possibly be and the rest is up to God.

Linda wears many hats, too many to name, but she will be the one handling the day-to-day operations of the venue and is also a Certified Wedding Planner.

Son Corbin is his dad’s right hand assisting him with anything on the farm; passion being hunting and fishing. “It’s been the biggest blessing,” William says, “having Corbin by my side, teaching him everything my dad taught me, we can’t wait to see how far he will go in life. Sorry ladies he is taken lol.”

Carly is a senior at Gray’s Creek High School and anxiously awaits college in the fall. She loves tennis and has an outstanding work ethic.

William and Corbin built over 80% of this venue from cutting the boards at the sawmill to placing them. “We had help yes, there were some fantastic people helping or coaching us along the way. And we are finally finished and couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome, it is beautiful!”

Farming is getting harder and harder each year with many houses taking the place of farmland and so many other hurdles to jump through that it keeps getting tougher for the little farms to survive. Which is the biggest reason William and Linda prayerfully decided to include a venue on the farm.

“It’s never been a dream to open a venue, it is a necessity,” says Linda, “to supplement the farm income, being good stewards of the land, and insuring to the best of our ability that we can pass the farm down to another generation.”

Farmers, whether big or small, play a vital role in our world and it’s a sad fact that farms go out of business at an alarming rate. So, when you possibly can, support your local farmers!

A huge heartfelt THANK YOU in considering our venue for your special event! Choose us or not, we wish you many of God’s blessings!

Love,

William & Linda Canady
