We visited another wedding venue, Hakone Estate and Gardens, before we decided to go with Boulder Ridge. The big difference is Boulder Ridge offers different all-inclusive packages.... They have the vendors for cake, food, decoration, flowers, photography (not included), etc.
We tried to call around for food catering and cake vendors because we wanted to serve Indonesian food with a unique cake flavor. But, in the end, not many of them could cater on our date. A lot of phone tags as well.
So, then, when we met and had a tour with Heather at the end of October 2021, we decided this was it. We love the outdoor and indoor spaces. Heather is such a warm and friendly person. She took us through what would happen every step of the way (cake tasting, food tasting, decoration, flowers, the credits for wedding invitations, etc.) and answered a lot of our questions. We only wanted to do a wedding reception, no ceremony and everything worked out well.
After paying the initial deposit and deciding on the date, come November 2021, we were given a detail binder containing all the thorough info that we needed to know.
So, our wedding date is February 2022. Only 3 months for planning, which is sufficient with Wedgewood because they are very thorough and organized.
Karyn and Heather provided exceptional service. They truly love their work and it shows during our planning visits and the day of the event. They answered our emails, phone calls, and questions thoroughly. We had no stress when dealing with Wedgewood because they have scheduled dates and they made sure everything was complete during the meeting. They were very accommodating with everything that we wanted and some changing plans.
On the day of the event, Karyn was very attentive. She made sure that we were relaxed, got us drinks when we were taking pictures outside with our families, constantly checked in with us, and got us each two plates of food when the food was served to make sure that we ate (I have heard bride and groom usually end up not eating during the event). We are very grateful to have Karyn on the day of the event. She made our wedding amazing!
The event captain was very organized in making sure all items were picked up and gathered on the cart when the event ended.
All the internal vendors are truly amazing as well. Shawna, the flower pieces are very beautiful, Debbie, the cake is very delicious, and Pierre, the 80's songs are perfect!
We got the photo booth, which was super fun for everyone at the event, had our own photography service, and had a harpist.
It is now June 2022. we can still remember that day clearly where we danced until the end of the event.
We highly recommend Boulder Ridge. They make our wedding planning so easy and no stress. Thank you very much!
