Cedar Lakes Conference Center is a year-round event and accommodation destination in Ripley, West Virginia, set within a scenic park-like campus surrounded by lakes, woodland and outdoor recreation. The venue welcomes organisers planning conferences, seminars, retreats, weddings, family reunions, craft workshops, group stays and larger social gatherings.

Its flexible event spaces can accommodate anything from small meetings to large-scale functions. The Assembly Hall provides space for up to 730 guests in theatre seating, while additional halls, classrooms and meeting rooms support breakout sessions, training days, presentations, receptions and private celebrations.

Cedar Lakes also offers a distinctive choice of outdoor settings. The lakeside chapel and amphitheatre are suited to wedding ceremonies and outdoor entertainment, while the covered bridge, picnic shelters and FFA Pavilion provide memorable backdrops for weddings, corporate picnics, group dining and informal gatherings. The recently completed pavilion includes lighting, ceiling fans, electrical outlets, tables and chairs.
