Meadow Ridge Events

ry of the food! Many raved it was the best dinner at a wedding they had ever had! The service was exceptional. My husband and I loved that the staff brought us drinks and appetizers while we did pictures during the cocktail hour and my husband and his groomsmen thought the bar staff were amazing and a total blast!! It’s been over a year since our wedding day and I’m still just as thankful we decided to have our wedding at Meadow Ridge as I was on our wedding day. Thank you, Meadow Ridge!

nk it’s impossible to have a bad time at a wedding at Meadow Ridge. We would like to specifically call out Seneca Wheelock for treating us so well. She was always easy to work with and returned our calls quickly! It was so nice to not have to worry about setting up for the big day because their staff took care of it. The food was great and the service was phenomenal. I cannot thank Art & his wife, Seneca, Matt & the rest of the crew at Meadow Ridge for all their hard work to make our day go so smoothly and beautifully. You guys are truly such a great family- we can’t say enough good things about you all. THANK YOU!

d the staff still served them and treated them with respect. I had many guests say how wonderful the staff was and how smoothly everything went. Not to mention the venue is absolutely gorgeous! I've been bragging about this place since I first saw it on the knot and want everyone I know to get married here. The newly renovated oak pavilion is stunning. I barely needed to decorate because everything about meadow ridge is just breath taking. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

for anything and could simply enjoy our wedding with our guests. The food was absolutely amazing and our guests were talking about it all night. If you’re looking for a quaint outdoor ceremony or reception then Meadow Ridge is the place to go!

our ideas (including a giant canoe...) and how we could make them work. They weren’t pushy on trying to “sell” or up charge us on anything, simply presented options and loved new ideas. They welcomed us, our family, and vendors out ahead of time to visit and get a feel for the space and anything else we needed. Seneca never made me feel like we were asking too many questions and always came back with an answer and explanation. Our guests raved about the experience in every way- the food (OMG the parmesan crusted potatoes), the environment (literally every inch of this property is heaven), the attention to detail (brought our whole bridal party drinks & apps immediately following the ceremony), and the kind helpful people behind it all!!! If you're booking here, do consider arranging for hotel accommodations ASAP as well as transportation services for your guests since there aren't really any hotels super nearby. Don't let that deter you for a second from having a wedding here- just takes some advance planning! We love Meadow Ridge!!! Thank you for an unforgettable day!

We toured the venue in the winter, and even then, we knew Meadow Ridge was so perfect for us. Seneca is so incredibly helpful in the planning process, and on the day of the wedding, Matt and the entire staff wait on everyone hand and foot. It is unlike anything I have ever seen. Multiple people told me it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Meadow Ridge will always have such a special place in our hearts. Thank you, thank you, thank you! <3

ice, and of course the most beautiful setting ever!!! We never expected that level of fantastic service. Blown away!!!! We'll be back for more pictures at a minimum...vow renewal may be fun too... lol. Thanks to everyone at Meadow Ridge!!!!

nts from our family and friends about the beautiful location, amazing and attentive staff, and delicious homemade food. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

e my drink was refilled without me even having to think of it by staff immediately. They brought us drinks and snacks during cocktail hour for the wedding party to enjoy while we were taking pictures. Over 4 months later, I am still getting compliments from friends and guests about our amazing venue. Although we got married on a relatively chilly day in September, the roaring fire and many heats lamps in the Maple Pavilion kept guests comfortable throughout the evening. Hot drinks were also readily available. Even after the music shut off and many guests were still waiting for the last shuttle back to our accommodations, the staff still took care of everyone by handing out water bottles and helping my parents gather and pack up all of the décor items, gifts and other random belongings. Our every need was met, and I just can’t imagine having spent our perfect day anywhere else.

yond, thinking of things we never would have to insure we were focused on the things that really mattered that day and nothing else. Seneca was wonderful to work with and answered all of my 100+ questions so quickly as we planned for wedding over a short 7 months. All our guests had such positive things to say about the food and service and we couldn't agree more! I highly recommend Meadow Ridge not only for the beautiful venue it is but also for the truly amazing people that run it!

decor, you all completely exceeded our expectations! We could not stop smiling from ear to ear as we entered the venue and saw the beautiful decorative creations you put together! From the wooden crates, to the polaroid station, ivory drapes, vintage books, and farmhouse sweetheart table...It was everything and more than what we could have ever dreamed of and we feel so humbled and blessed to have been surrounded with such amazing people! We can't even begin to tell you how many guests came up to us just raving about every aspect of the venue and asking to know more about it! We also had multiple people that told us it was the most beautiful reception they had ever been to. We knew this was the perfect venue for us but you just confirmed that on Saturday! You made everything go so smoothly and literally took care of all of our worries. Even throughout the reception you would always made a point to ask how we were doing and if we needed anything! We felt so taken care of! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Seneca! You guys will always have a special place in our hearts for make our wedding day unforgettable! Xoxo Can't wait to see how the photography and videography turned out and we will definitely be sharing them with you! Hands down, best day of our lives and easiest 5 star rating we could ever give! Xoxo :)

care of everything and helped put all my nerves at ease! They got to know my family and went out of their way to help us plan our day. I am so happy we found Meadow Ridge and I would absolutely encourage any couple to book this venue for their day!

of detail given to the property itself is impeccable. Our wedding was held in the late spring, and with everything in full bloom, there was so much natural beauty that we were able to save a lot in decorations. There are also so many wonderful photo opportunities throughout the property that we never even left to take pictures. Aside from the gorgeous venue and landscape, Meadow Ridge exceeded all of our expectations when it came to customer service. Seneca was always quick to respond and provide sufficient information and suggestions when it came to figuring out the logistics of our wedding day. On the day of, the Meadow Ridge team executed everything flawlessly - from set up to take down, my husband and I never had to worry. Going into wedding planning, everyone warned me to expect at least three things to go wrong the day of, and that really never happened. All employees were hardworking and courteous to guests, drinks and food were always sufficiently stocked and served in a timely manner, and Seneca/Matt checked in with us periodically to assure that everything was running smoothly. Additionally, Meadow Ridge does their own catering, and we received so many compliments on our selected menu! All food was fresh, had great flavor, and did not at all seem like standard catering. Bottom line, if you are looking for a unique venue with gorgeous landscapes, wonderful, professional service, and delicious food options, I strongly recommend checking out Meadow Ridge - it is truly one of a kind!

e in the most beautiful country setting you can imagine. The food is to die for and every person goes above and beyond. I could not of been happier with the choice to get married at Meadow Ridge and I believe everyone should choose this place for their special day, great food,great service,great party and great atmosphere.

aid this was the best venue and wedding they ever attended. Seneca is amazing. She is so easy to talk to and cares so much about her family and their land. Meadow Ridge Farm will always hold a very special place in our hearts. I cannot thank you guys enough!! I wish I could replay Labor Day weekend all over again!

ounds are absolutely beautiful! We rented the entire property for our 9/8/17 wedding. Once we started working with Seneca we knew we had made the right decision! She was VERY accommodating to all of our requests and VERY patient as we worked through all of our planning details. Once our wedding day arrived we knew that we didn't have anything to worry about, everything was set up exactly how we discussed. The food was amazing, the property was amazing, the fireworks were an incredible surprise for our guests, but when it comes down to it, our favorite part was the people that took care of us and our guests. The Meadow Ridge staff is top notch. From the bartenders (Doug) becoming best friends with every single one of our guests, to the servers bring us (bride/groom) and the bridal party drinks and appetizers while we were taking pictures, to wiping down the dance floor on their hands and knees after a brief rain shower, the level of service provided by this staff was absolutely amazing. My husband and I set out to wow our guests with the "BEST WEDDING EVER" and Meadow Ridge did not disappoint!!! Our guests were blown away with the beautiful property, the amazing food and we heard over and over again that this was the best wedding that they had ever attended! Thank you to Seneca and her Meadow Ridge family, you guys are amazing!

r wedding off to the following summer so we could have our wedding at Meadow Ridge! We booked the entire property! Seneca was great to work with! We planned our wedding from Virginia and Seneca was very prompt in returning our emails and answering all the questions we had! She worked with us to set up the meetings when we came in town! The property is gorgeous! We received so many compliments from our guests on the property and how good the food was! The service was great! We had servers checking on us all night! Seneca and her family were amazing! Our wedding was a perfect day and we owe that to Meadow Ridge for everything they did to make it perfect! The one thing we were concerned with was the weather with an outdoor wedding! It ended up being very windy the day of, but the staff took care of everything! Nothing broke and they pulled the curtains around the pavilion to block the wind! The staff did not bring this to my attention and I had a worry free day! Thank you so much for an amazing wedding! Katie & Patrick 07/29/17

in of my dress decided to get caught on a candle holder and knocked it down and broke glass everywhere but the staff was immediately on it and had it cleaned up within seconds. We held a "country" themed wedding and this venue was absolutely perfect for that. All my guests were raving about the beautiful scenery and they loved walking around. The food was amazing too. I had so many guests tell me it was the best food they have had at a wedding. I honestly could not have picked a better venue. If you are looking for an outdoor venue that will hold a lot of people and that have some of the nicest staff in the area, this is the place. Before booking Meadow Ridge, I had visited a few other venues and none of them compared. They truly allowed for my wedding dreams to come true. Thank you all so much!!!!

o make us feel so special and like our wedding was the most important one they have done. In the beginning, Laura was so accommodating to our questions and concerns and was able to meet multiple times to ensure that we were happy with everything. Pricing was upfront and fair and nothing was added. Initially, we were concerned about the weather considering it was an all outdoor venue, but we chose June 24th, 2017 and it was 75 and sunny with a cool breeze, it was absolutely perfect. After the ceremony, Matt and Laura immediately met us and the bridal party with refreshments and appetizers to make sure we were fed before pictures. The food was incredible and I've never heard so much buzz about the food at a wedding before, and honestly, for the price it was a bargain considering the options and the wonderful quality and preparation of the food. Throughout the night, the staff at Meadow Ridge was extremely attentive to make sure that we were happy with everything and they went above and beyond with helping in areas they were not required to. For example, the bustle on my wife's dress broke before we started dancing and multiple people tried pinning it up but it did not stay, however Laura found a way to pin it that lasted throughout the night! There is not one thing we would change about that day, and I strongly believe our day would not be as perfect as it was without Meadow Ridge and their incredible staff. We received and overwhelming amount of compliments from our guests and family, and so many stated it was the best wedding they ever went to, and I completely agree. I sincerely hope that Meadow Ridge wins The Knot award for many years to come because they deserve that and more. We will forever be grateful for everything they did for us that day and we will continue to recommend this venue to everyone we know. Choosing a wedding venue is by far the most important part of wedding planning and its the part that can make or break the most important day of your life. Having said that, my wife and I are so fortunate to have found Meadow Ridge because they gave us a beautiful start to our life together and a day that we will remember forever. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Meadow Ridge!

e was so helpful and attentive down to every last detail. My guests are still raving about their experience, one month later! Guests asked me nonstop "how did you find this venue" and were absolutely amazed by it. Book Meadow Ridge now, you won't regret it!!

f were great and a made the evening a blast for all of our guests. We highly recommend!

re polite and engaging throughout the entire process. Every last detail was looked after, and it reduced our stress so much. We worked with Laura, and she was completely on top of everything. The whole experience was organized without seeming stressful or like you're :just another wedding" coming through. We had some non-traditional elements to our wedding, and the Meadow Ridge team worked hard to make sure that everything was in place. They worked with us on tweaking some of the food packages to meet our needs, and everything the night of the wedding was perfect. The food was delicious, the bartenders were fun, and everything was cleaned up seamlessly. They set up and tore down everything--the decorations, the food, clearing tables...we did not have a single thing to worry about. The venue itself is breathtaking. We got married on October 1st, so you got to see a little bit of the leaves changing. There was another wedding going on there that day, but you would have never known. I was a little worried about this initially, but you could not hear or see the other wedding. We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience!

ly were so helpful. We knew as soon as we left our first tour that it was our venue. It's gorgeous in its own right, but what made our day so wonderful was the service. We felt like family/friends with the Meadow Ridge staff. They were there at every turn, anticipating our needs before we even knew them. We, as well as our guests, felt so taken care of. The answer to everything was, "Absolutely. We'll take care of it." I forgot the runners for our table decor the day of the rehearsal, and Seneca calmly said, "Just have someone bring them tomorrow, and we'll make sure they're there." To a nervous, anxious bride with a million things on her mind, sweeter words could not have been spoken. One moment that particularly sticks out to me is that after the ceremony, our guests went to the Maple Pavilion for a cocktail hour while we did pictures. The staff appeared with trays of food/drinks for us as we were taking our pictures. Again, for a nervous, anxious bride who had barely eaten all day, I could not have been more thankful for the thoughtful gestures of this staff. Just truly outstanding. I could never possibly thank them enough for giving me the most beautiful day of my life. Thank you, Meadow Ridge! We are forever grateful for our time with you!

g and the food is delicious! One of the biggest factors in making my decision to go with Meadow Ridge is the fact that it's a family owned and run business, I felt comfort knowing that they would take good care of me and they did just that! Seneca was there to answer all of my questions along the way and was a pleasure to work with. On the day of the rehearsal I left all of my decorations and instructions with Seneca and she went above and beyond to place everything perfectly! I had over 100 candles and candle holders for our centerpieces and the staff even put those together for us, saving us a lot of time when we had a million other things to do the day before the wedding! They also packed everything back up for us after the wedding, making it so easy to take our remaining items back home. All of our family and friends were blown away by the beauty of the venue and they loved the food! Throughout the night Seneca and family were there to check in on us to see if we needed anything, it was comforting to know that we didn't need to think of anything as they took care of it all for us - they even had drinks waiting for us and the bridal party after the ceremony. I am very impressed with the quality of service at Meadow Ridge Events and am so glad that we chose this venue to celebrate the best day of our lives.

ke your day run very seamless and insure your vision of the day is just what you imagined.The prep and hard work they put into making all the food is incredible our guests were so happy! Laura's attention to detail is much appreciated she is so organized and again keeps everything perfect! I can't say enough about our experience here! We are sad it is over and wish we would do it over again!

e compares. I was so honored to be at such a beautiful location. Wedding, Reception and countless Photo opportunities. All in one location. And Laura was the icing on the cake she was amazing. They gave you the feeling of no other wedding mattered but yours. Above and beyond to give you the best. I give them the highest recommendation.

e booked for the first wedding of 2016. Throughout the two years of planning, Seneca, Matt and the rest of the Meadow Ridge family welcomed us in with open arms. Through the process of renting the whole property, to having our rehearsal dinner there, and having the cocktail hour at the Oak Pavilion and reception at the Maple Pavilion, everything was as coordinated as we could have ever planned. I did not have to worry about anything at all on our special day. They did such an amazing job with the setup (as we had ALOT of stuff!), the food was so amazing, the staff was awesome. Everyone complimented all night how beautiful the property was. We even received compliments that it was the best wedding they have been to in years! (And I would have to agree!!) They always made sure Todd and I had everything we needed, as well as our full bridal party of 20 people! It was the most amazing day we could have ever asked for and they played a huge part in making that happened. If I could, I would give them 20 out of 5 stars!!! :)

the recipe for the raspberry sauce from the chicken. All of the decorations that I brought were put out perfectly and and I never had to worry about a thing. I chose Meadow Ridge because of the location and scenery but also because of the family that runs this place. They made me feel comfortable and excited for my wedding and I knew we would have a beautiful day with them. We really can't thank them enough or give the team enough praise for making our wedding day so memorable.

ay in March). We got married on the wedding island which was gorgeous and had our reception in the beautiful maple pavilion. We have gotten so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how good the food was. Seneca and the other staff made everything extremely easy and were very helpful throughout the whole process. We would absolutely recommend Meadow Ridge to anyone getting married in Northeastern Ohio!!

get what you pay for. The space is absolutely beautiful and so unique. But what makes it so special are the people. The service is top notch--they genuinely care about making your day the best it can be. We wanted for nothing the whole day! Prior to the wedding, friends and family kept asking us 'do you need help setting up or doing this or that?' And everyone was so blown away when we told them, 'nope! The venue handles everything!' Which they did, flawlessly. We dropped off our decorations the day before, I reviewed my ideas with Seneca and when we showed up the next day for the wedding, my vision had been executed perfectly! It was exactly what I imagined but even more beautiful! Huge props to Seneca, her family, her team and all her hard work and dedication she puts in to each and every wedding at MRE. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And she is so easy to work with! We planned our wedding over two years (which made me nervous sometimes since we only physically met with Seneca once in two years) but that was all she needed! Her attention to detail is honestly mind blowing--I don't know how she does it! Bottom line: the drinks, food, service, people and setting are all amazing!!

above to make sure the bridal party & guests were happy. I can't thank them enough for making the most special day of our lives so perfect and unforgettable! You guys helped make all our wedding dreams come true! You far surpassed my expectations! The food, the venue, the staff, the setup, the correspondence--everything!--was simply wonderful! I would & am recommending this venue to every couple I know! Thank you!! --Alyssa

well!

diately it was where we wanted our August 1, 2015 wedding. Seneca and family invited us back to see the property in full bloom so we went back in August 2014 and it was stunning! We went back again in June of 2015 to discuss our wedding and we were once again amazed by the beauty and how welcomed we were by Seneca. Seneca was amazing to work with during the whole process. She is so organized and thought of everything! I never imagined planning a wedding could be so care free and simple, but Seneca and family took all of our worries away. On the day of our wedding, they made us feel so special like we were their family. Anything we needed or our guests needed, they were right there. They are top notch and true professionals! Our guests still talk about the beautiful venue and amazing food! My husband and I are big supporters of eating local and we were happy to serve our guests an all local menu with fresh ingredients. Never in my life have I had wedding food so delicious! They have set the bar so high, they made it hard for us to go to weddings now. Thank you so much for such an amazing day! We are so happy we found you!!! Amy & Mike 08/01/2015

owned, it was a pleasure to work with them and it really do whatever was needed to make felt like Meadow Ridge wanted toyour wedding day great. Laura was simply fantastic and basically did the job of a Day-Of Coordinator without the official title. I love that the food is local and cooked on-site. I love all the beautiful nature we were surrounded by. I love the kindness of Meadow Ridge staff. My only qualm had to do with the price. Our budget ended up going way over what we thought it would be, once you factored in the cost of food, bartenders, linens, tip, etc (and we went with the least expensive choices in everything). Of course, that can happen with any venue. Overall, Meadow Ridge is a perfect choice for the rustic/elegant couple who want to work with a venue that will treat you like family.

l the little changes I had. The food is PHENOMENAL- everyone needs to try the chicken with raspberry glaze. I got so many compliments on the food. I was able to drop off all the decoration a couple days before and when I arrived the venue was set up perfectly. I was so excited I started tearing up (and Seneca almost did too seeing how happy I was!). The ceremony space was beautiful (Oak pavilion), and the staff provided lots of moral support as I waited to go down the aisle. It really felt like they were just as excited as I was and part of the celebration. Day of, the staff was so attentive. Seneca met me as I got off the bus with water right away. They brought our appetizers and drinks (mini pulled pork sandwiches and the cheese/cracker display) for me and the groom/bridal party/family as we were taking pictures. They always made sure me/the groom/my family had food/drinks/etc. People kept trying to get to our cupcake and candy display early and they did a great job of keeping people away until it was time (politely of course!)They helped me stay on schedule the whole night (I was too busy having fun!!) Overall, I cannot recommend this place enough. Everything was absolutely perfect!!! I cannot thank them enough.

unique situation with being an out of town couple and the staff at Meadow Ridge was beyond gracious, kind and helpful. The fact that it is a family owned and run business makes you feel that you and all of your guests are part of their family for the night. The set up and tear down just happens to be an added bonus. We added a late night food option to showcase our adopted home town and they made sure to have all of the proper ingredients. The food was delicious and you actually wanted to have seconds, which never happens at a wedding. The atmosphere is fairy tale worthy, just wait until you see your pictures! The compliment that we kept hearing and are still hearing now was that "this was the best wedding" and while I thought the same thing the staff and setting of Meadow Ridge make it impossible for people to not say that. Seneca, Matt and the rest of the Meadow Ridge staff thank you from the bottoms of our hearts for making our vision come to life. We have already decided that on our 10 year anniversary we will renew our vows there, so we will see you in 2025! Love, Erin & Lee

nd over. Everything was so perfect. I've already asked my husband if we could get remarried every year just so we can go back to Meadow Ridge to celebrate. During the wedding planning, I think we met Seneca on-site at least four different times. I really did have a different reason to go there each time but now that I think about it, I can finally admit, I think I just wanted to go hang out and relax on their beautiful property. Our guests absolutely loved the venue and the service too.... we've had so many compliments. The food, service, and scenery is absolutely perfect! The fact that they set up and clean up your decorations for you is such a huge help too. I was going through photos about a week before our wedding and I found a picture of myself along with friends riding on a hay wagon through the Meadow Ridge property. I had forgotten, we had one of my birthday parties there in the late 1980's. It's so cool to see a family business still going strong throughout so many years and offering exceptional services. You can tell they take great pride and joy in what they do. The Meadow Ridge family and staff will always have a special place in our hearts. You can't ask for anyone better to have around while planning your wedding. Seneca, her family, and staff are truly the best! Thank you so much for everything you do. We are forever grateful!! Much Love, Brooke & Kurtis

ugh their planning and making it easy for them to make it their own with their own ideas on how they wanted things. The owners and staff placed all the decorations up, made and served wonderful food. Their recommendations on DJ, Photographer, and Videographer made everything easy and all very professional. It was a perfect night for a perfect couple at a perfect venue.....cannot thank them enough for making it such an amazing evening....We have a couple of ministers in the family and they said it was the most beautiful place they had ever been for a wedding...nothing but compliments from all that attended....highly recommend!!

ldn't do it. The word 'pavilion' does not do the structures justice. You have to see them in person. The moment we pulled up, we were sold, we wanted to know where we sign before we even got out of the car or tasted food. Seneca was a HUGE help through the whole process. She put up with an uncountable number of annoying emails and just made everything perfect. We had our wedding on the 4th of July and wanted to use their fireworks vendor. VERY long story short, the fireworks vendor couldn't do it for us. Instead of just saying oh well, Seneca went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure that we had a fireworks show. It was absolutely AMAZING! The staff the day of my wedding was PHENOMENAL! Every time I turned around a staff member was there to see if I needed anything. As soon as I lost my drink, they were there with another one. My family continues to talk about the great service. The food is unbelievably delicious, I have no other words for it. We were told repeatedly the day of our wedding that it was the best wedding people had been to. Weeks later and people are still reaching out to us just to tell us that it was the best wedding they had been to! Everyone was asking how we found the venue, it was the perfect place for the perfect day. Thank you Seneca and the staff at Meadow Ridge!!

ra and she was absolutely amazing throughout the entire planning process. She made everything so easy! I gave her all of the decorations to put where she thought was best and I was blown away when i saw everything all put together! On our wedding day the rain was unbelievable... I didn't think it would ever stop! Even with all of the rain the staff at Meadow Ridge still gave me the wedding I had been picturing over the last year. I cannot thank the staff enough for all of their help. They were so accommodating to not only me and my husband but also to all of our guests. Our family and friends are still talking about how delicious the food was three weeks later and how wonderful the staff is! If you are looking for an outdoor wedding this is the place! To Laura and the staff at Meadow Ridge, thank you so much! Love, Signa and Jeff

place we even looked at! The staff was SO incredible and really made everything run as smooth as possible. Through out the whole night and days after the wedding, my family and friends were commenting on how wonderful the service was. They were SO thoughtful and so considerate of all the guests--believe it could be because they are all passionate about what they do and you can tell! The food was outstanding. The food was the most important part for my parents while planning, and it really exceeded their expectations. Plus, how smart is having two buffet lines!?!?!? Made things run a lot quicker while guests were getting food. Lastly, the place is just absolutely gorgeous. There were so many awesome spots to take pictures. I would recommend Meadow Ridge to anyone looking for a laid back, fun and beautiful wedding. BEYOND pleased with this place and wish I could repeat this day a million times!!!!

e wood and a large deck overlooking Phelps Creek, the Maple Pavilion is absolutely breathtaking. The ceremony location is right next to the Maple Pavilion and a large, serene pond with willow trees. With the Maple Pavilion, you also gain access to the beautiful, new bridal suite with a covered porch, which was built in spring 2015. There were several main reasons why we chose Meadow Ridge as our venue. First, the property is absolutely beautiful and you’re completely surrounded by nature. It’s the perfect location for taking natural light photos. Second, Meadow Ridge is a family-owned business that began as a dairy farm in the 1970s. The owners actually live on the property, with the two venues located at the very back of the property in their own private space. The owners’ daughter, Seneca, is the venue coordinator. It’s literally a family affair, and that’s what really sets them apart from other venues! As a family-owned business, they take GREAT pride in satisfying their clients to the best of their abilities and are constantly looking for ways to improve their services and venue spaces. They don’t nickel and dime you, like most venues do. You don’t feel like you’re dealing with someone who’s just trying to make a sale. They truly treat their clients like they’re a part of the family. Third, Meadow Ridge serves 100% fresh, locally sourced food that isn’t frozen. Food was really important to us, so that’s another huge reason why we chose Meadow Ridge. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS! We had raving reviews from all of our guests, who kept going back for more. The meats are prepared onsite by grill chefs, the cheeses are from Middlefield, and the rolls are baked and brought in by the Amish on your wedding day/ On our wedding day (6/27/15), there was the worst flash flood of the year. Starting in the morning, the venue had concerns that we’d need to cut our wedding short by several hours. Fortunately, the rain stopped for a short period in early afternoon, which allowed us to take some photos around the property. When the heavy rain started up again, we were able to take any remaining photos on the beautiful porch of the bridal suite. Our ceremony, which was supposed to be outdoors by the pond, was moved indoors due to heavy rain. It took place in front of the gorgeous fireplace, with a fire going, and turned out beautifully! It was incredibly intimate and romantic. As the flooding worsened, the venue requested that we shut down our wedding at 7:30 pm because the roads were flooded and dangerous. However, they were very flexible and came up with a solution that allowed our wedding to continue until 10 pm, just a half hour before the original end time. They even shuttled guests to and from the venue so they wouldn’t get stuck on the flooded roads. Seneca, the venue coordinator, was amazing! Throughout our entire wedding planning process (which spanned nearly two years), she was extremely easy to work with, very responsive to emails, and provided helpful advice for what would and wouldn’t work. She really went above and beyond the typical duties of a venue coordinator to make our big day extra special. Both our guests and vendors said our wedding was the best they'd ever attended!

d the site, we knew that there was something special there. The owner, Art, was so passionate about his business, and we felt like he truly cared about each and every event they hold there. From then on, I had nothing but pleasant experiences with everyone I worked with there. I worked with Laura on all of the actual planning, and I could not believe how incredibly helpful she was! She was patient, and kind, and truly invested in making our day amazing. Any time I spoke with her, I felt like I was talking to a friend. She made me feel so comfortable, and she was so supportive on our big day. The bar tenders they provided were courteous and helpful. One of their employees even ran to his house to get us a sound cable when our music wasn't playing right! I simply cannot say enough about Meadow Ridge and the great service they provided! I wish I could do it all over again!

very end, everyone went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Seneca made the planning process run smoothly; she put up with my indecisiveness and was always available when I had a question or change of plans. The night before the wedding she was calm, organized and helped to make sure everything was were it needed to be. The day of the wedding was amazing, I couldn’t have dreamt up a better location or people to help put it together. Daniel, our parents, and I were taken care of the whole night. THE FOOD. The food was outstanding! We went with their grilled chicken, veggies, and smashed potatoes. The potatoes were phenomenal  Everything was locally sourced so it made it ten times better. I can’t believe that our day is over, but I would highly recommend anyone interested in having an outside wedding to choose Meadow Ridge. It was overall outstanding. They helped us have the unforgettable day of our dreams. All our love, The Peaks.

e were never-ending compliments on the venue and how beautiful, serene and unique the settings was for celebrating our big day. Many guests of the wedding had already started thinking of ways they could utilize the space for future events before the reception was even over! One of the things that had drawn us to Meadow Ridge was the incredible reviews and comments about the food - the feedback does not even begin to give the food the recognition it deserves. Not only was it one of the best meals we have had in a very long time, it was a meal that had every single one of our guests satisfied and impressed. The food was fresh, delicious and is a testament to Meadow Ridge's commitment to excellence in all that they do. The meal was served in an extremely organized and efficient manner and not a single person went home hungry that night! In addition to the stunning venue and incredible food, the service we received from the staff was beyond what we could have ever imagined. Laura, Seneca, Matt, the bartenders and the rest of the Meadow Ridge staff were phenomenal. They were attentive to anything that was needed before we had a chance to ask, they treated us like family and they made our day even more memorable with their thoughtful actions and kind words. Our guests were gushing about how amazing the service was and we spent the better part of our day on Sunday hearing and reading comments from our closest friends and family about the out-of-this-world experience they had at Meadow Ridge. Their dedication to making our day go exactly as planned was beyond what we could have ever asked for and our wedding would not have been complete without them there. Thank you Meadow Ridge for making the best day of our lives a dream come true.

n North Carolina and they had amazing communication to make sure that all of the little tasks were getting done and were very accommodating to letting us view the farm on the random weekends we were able to make it up to Ohio. I would recommend this venue for anyone who wishes to have a beautiful outdoor wedding.

e is absolutely beautiful. Seneca and I communicated often through email from the beginning to the end to make sure everything was taken care of. I visited several times during the process as well, and every time I went I fell in love with the place all over again. Seneca and her family were so helpful and accommodating with everything. The food here is absolutely amazing. When we went for a tasting we didn't even try everything we wanted on our menu, but we were not worried at all because everything was delicious. We had also wanted Amish pies for dessert and Seneca was kind enough to set all that up for us. We were in the Maple pavilion with about 110 guests and we had plenty of room. We dropped our stuff off the night of the rehearsal and the day of the wedding they had everything set up perfectly. If this venue is on your list to visit you will not be disappointed!

very step of the way and truly made our dreams and vision a reality (we couldn't have done it without you Lisa!). They made sure at all times of the night we had exactly what we wanted. A month later everyone is still talking about what a gorgeous venue Meadow Ridge is. The food incredible- my only regret is not eating more!! Thank you times a million for making our wedding day the best day ever! We love all of you!

is the rest of her family and meadow ridge staff! She answered any questions I had very quickly and was very very very easy to communicate with! The food was so amazing and fresh off the grill that even my mother in law asked for seconds! Since we did have a fall/October wedding meadow ridge provided gas heaters for the chilly evening and they were perfect! The guests actually thought they were part of my decor! In addition, Seneca and her staff also packed up the leftover popcorn bar and cupcakes we had and sent them home with the guests! I honestly could keep going on and on about this venue and it's staff but you need to take the trip out to meadow ridge and see the venue for yourself and meet with Seneca and you will fall in love! I hope I get to experience another event at meadow ridge in the future!

dy for you to pick it up the next day. The food is by far the best you will ever taste, and it's all locally made/grown! Seneca, the vice-president, makes you feel like her own daughter or son in the way she cares so much for you and the way you want your big day to be. They are all so humble and amazing, looking back I couldn't see my now husband and I getting married anywhere else but Meadow Ridge. We got so many compliments for our guests about how perfect the venue was for the two of us, and how that was the best food they have EVER had at a wedding! We Had A Chilly day, But Seneca and her staff made sure we were all toasty by keeping the fire going and setting up multiple heaters around the tables for our guests. Who could ever imagine all of your guest would be pleased with your day!! But thanks to Meadow Ridge we had a beautiful day with wonderful people and can not wait to go back and take our anniversary pictures next year! This venue alone should get 10 stars because to us, 5 just doesn't seem to be enough!!!!!!!

to see if there was anything we needed and made sure all the details were perfect! The food is prepared right there and it is incredible!! Planning a wedding can be stressful but I wouldn't have changed a thing!!! The property is gorgeous, the Maple pavilion is stunning and the staff is amazing!! If you are thinking of an outdoor wedding you need to check this venue out!!! You will fall in love! Our guests were so impressed with the food and the beauty of the venue!! Thank you Meadow Ridge for the best day ever!!! Troy & Kelly

my wedding to an outdoor, September wedding. It is too beautiful to even consider looking somewhere else. My guests were is awe of the scenery. Dual fireplace, beautiful patio overlooking a creek, lake with a big willow tree, flowers everywhere, the wedding island. the pavilion itself. My dream venue. Only thing that would have made it more beautiful would be the trees changing color. The staff- phenomenal!! Laura was our wedding coordinator. I couldn't have asked for someone better. She is so detail oriented. She was always 10 steps ahead of me and thinking of details that never even crossed my mind. She responds quickly to emails, texts and phone calls. She put me completely at ease. She took care of everything, and I mean EVERYTHING! When our alcohol arrived, Laura personally checked the entire order to make sure nothing was missed. I have never been so well looked after. During the entire reception, Laura would check on us, get us another drink. The rest of the staff did also. I never went to the bar for anything. It was just taken care of. The weather was chilly so they had outdoor heaters set up around the tables. The weather curtains were closed when it got windy, and then opened when the wind died down, on and off throughout the night. For my sister's wedding, people had to stay after to help clean up. For us, the staff packed everything up for us and had it on one table ready to go by the time we were ready to leave. I didn't lift a finger and that's how it should be on your wedding day. The food- Your guests can smell the fresh food cooking on the grill. Makes your mouth water. Best wedding food I have ever had. This is not mediocre wedding food that you are used to. It is so good!! And the cider? The highlight of the night! People LOVED it mixed with spiced rum. I am very picky about cider and this is really good cider! This truly was my dream wedding. I cannot express how wonderful the staff was to us and to our guests. I had someone tell me this was the best wedding she had ever been to and I can't help but agree. Talking to all of my guests during the night, they were blown away by Meadow Ridge and wanted to know how I found such a place. I am so lucky I did. ***If you book Meadow Ridge for your wedding, or have the privilege of being a guest there, do yourself a favor and look up at the night sky. Never in your life will you have seen so many stars!!

the site was so easy to plan with, she was extremely prompt with responses and understanding for things we needed or wanted. Our day went by flawlessly, the employees at Meadow Ridge helped out getting people to where they needed to be and helped out with our dj, florist, and cake delivery. The food they served on site was exquisite, it was very flavorful and tasted extremely fresh, unlike many other weddings we had been to. Many of our guests were extremely impressed with the venue, many of them asking how we found it and considering it for their own events. We highly suggest Meadow Ridge for your outdoor wedding in northeast Ohio.

the moment we first went to view it I knew I was in wonderful hands. All of my questions, requests....and pretty much anything I needed during the process was met with immediate attention and total help. Planning a wedding can be a little intimidating (especially when you've never done anything remotely like it before!) but Seneca and her family were there for me every step of the way helping me with ideas, suggestions, and of course, making sure I knew what was going on and keeping me in the loop with progress on their end. We were given a chance to taste the food ahead of time and customize our menu. During the wedding the whole family was there to help and making sure things were going well for us (which, of course they were!) and ALL of our guests were blown away by how gorgeous it was there!! Matt and Seneca, and Art and Linda and the whole family are really amazing people; they truly made us feel like we we're part of their family and they were personally there to help make our day special and I cannot say how much I loved that. I really can't rave enough about how wonderful, nice, honest, sweet, amazing, and generous the family is and I literally have nothing negative at all to say about our experience!! It was completely a dream come true!

hey are caring, loving, and make sure that they get every detail catered to the happy couple they are working with! Every guest of our wedding has remarked on how absolutely breathtaking the scenery was and how much fun they had. The food was also amazing! There is not a single item you could order and go wrong with! We love Meadow Ridge and they will always hold a very special place in our hearts. We LOVE you Meadow Ridge!

and the morning of but the staff was towel drying and using squeegees on the aisle to make sure it was dry by the time we walked down it. Seneca even offered to go buy us a cake because ours showed up two hours late. I've heard some women say "if I could do it over again..." Well, if I could do it over again, I would still get married at Meadow Ridge. A big thank you to Meadow Ridge staff for a wonder day & lots of amazing memories!

ns leading up to my big day and Laura was always quick to respond and willing to help and accommodate in any way she could. On the day of our wedding, everything went perfectly. The decorations were set up exactly the way that I wanted, the food was amazing, and the service from the staff and bartenders was impeccable. Matt and Seneca even hand delivered hors d'oeuvres and drinks to where we were taking pictures so we wouldn't miss out on cocktail hour. We had so many compliments on the venue and the food, with several people saying it was the best food they'd ever been served at a wedding. The day just went so smoothly in every area and I cannot say enough good things about Meadow Ridge Events. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for an outdoor setting in Northeast Ohio. So many people said, "This place is so close to me, yet I'm never heard of it!" We were so excited to have a wedding somewhere unique and different, I feel like we definitely hit the jackpot with Meadow Ridge!

ur wedding, we experienced nothing but the best. Seneca, Matt, family and staff were truly wonderful. They handled all the setup and arranged all the centerpieces and decorations to make it as easy as possible for us so we were able to enjoy our day without any worry or hassle. The food was delicious, and they had a great menu to choose from. We were able to enjoy new additions to the pavilion and we were also able to use the beautiful new gazebo overlooking the creek for our ceremony. Our wedding was truly everything and more!

st it because it sets way back and you can't see any vehicles. But, it is beautiful for an outdoor wedding!!!!!!

hey made sure to be informed of every detail of the day in order to make everything flow perfectly and understand the vision I had in mind. They were able to ease my mind and made me extremely comfortable in knowing that they would do whatever it took to make things work. I can honestly not say enough about the hospitality I experienced working with these amazing individuals who are genuine in heart and excited to provide every individual with the wedding of their dreams! There is honestly not one thing that I could say even needs improved upon, everything was absolutely perfect. They played a major role in making this day everything I imagined and more! I greatly appreciate it!!!! p.s....The food is WONDERFUL!

ere! Not only was the place absolutely gorgeous and one of a kind, the staff is awesome. Seneca was so easy to work with. She is prompt, thorough, and personable. By the end of the wedding we felt as if her and Matt have become friends! I would recommend this venue for anyone who wants an outdoor wedding with a little pizzaz. It was perfect.

are now perfect)! We knew the food was fabulous and the site was peaceful, but still choose to look at various locations across Cleveland. However, when we revisited Meadow Ridge we knew it was perfect for us! The Maple Pavilion is so beautiful. The pictures honestly do not fully convey the scale of the pavilion and the atmosphere it creates. We held our ceremony on the beautiful wedding island and our reception within the pavilion. Even though we stayed in one location, as the sun set, the venue transformed from a peaceful place for a ceremony to a magical setting for a night of dancing with the trees lit and a fire burning in the built-in hearth. If rustic elegance or an English garden ambiance are what you're looking for, this is it! The staff is family which makes it so easy to trust them with your big day. They want you and your family to have a memorable experience and truly go out of their way to make it a smooth evening for all. We worked with Laura to coordinate the big details (she was so helpfull!) and loved having Matt and the rest of the staff help on the big day. All were so kind, helpful, and true professionals! If you plan to have the ceremony at the location as well as the reception, we would recommend using their preferred DJ, Hi-Fi Entertainment. It was so effortless to have someone who understood the venue needs. He provided the right sound equipment for the ceremony to ensure all of our guests heard our vows. He was also great at keeping the reception on track without making us feel rushed. He was a true professional and great at reading our guests needs. We highly recommend this location and are thankful for the memories! Katie and Brendan

works hard to maintain the old farm property and we couldn't believe how beautiful it was in every season (we first visited in the winter, then early summer, then were married in September). The food was fantastic! Local and organic when possible and cooked by the owner of the property/business himself. Everything was so personal and thoughtful. They allow bringing your own alcohol into the venue so that was a major cost saver for our event. Every person working the night of our wedding was so helpful and organized. If anyone is even considering this venue, go check it out!! You will NOT be disappointed. BEST outdoor venue we had ever visited for any wedding, ever. I promise I'm not exaggerating! Price was excellent for every service offered. We loved working with Meadow Ridge!!

flashy. We also love good food and music, and like unique things that make guest's go 'Wow!'. Finding a place that had flexibility with decor, good customer service and great food is usually challenging. After narrowing our 'To Visit' list down on the Knot, we took the 30 minute drive to Meadow Ridge. We immediately got a very warm welcome from Seneca and her family, who treated us to hot local cider that February. We told her about the somewhat cozy theme of our wedding, plus our love of nature and good food...It seemed like we'd have a good match. She showed us the new Maple Pavilion building before it was even finished, and we fell in love immediately. You have to see it now - Giant patio that over looks a ravine that gets lit up at night, a double sided fire place, a lake as the backdrop behind the Head Table - I couldnt have designed a better layout myself. PLUS we could hold the Ceremony 50 yards away in front of a Gorgeous lake / island with Willow Trees in the background. I LOVED that vs having to make all our guests drive hours around town after a short ceremony. It was so convenient, and beautiful. For those short on time- here's a summary: However much you wish to customize and decorate your own Wedding at Meadow Ridge, you are free to do so. They will be in close communication from the start to finish. If you want fancy desserts or creative drink concoctions - No Problem. You can add your own signs, center pieces, outdoor games, music, extra lighting - and they set it all up for you like a 5 star establishment. The food is local and mostly organic, and expertly GRILLED over an actual charcoal grill. Make sure you get the Fresh Hot Apple Cider! I cant believe how much people loved the dark rum & cider drinks we offered. Overall, you will not find a better experience for the value you get at Meadow Ridge. The day went by fast, but I remember her entire staff catering to us like we were rock stars. The pavilion had perfect space for our 185 guests, and the dance floor area was perfectly setup in the middle. The crowd can explore the grounds and enjoy a cigar on the chairs by the nearby beach if desired. Parking wasnt a big deal - just a big lot with a guide helping people park. The desserts and drink we bought (which will save you Thousands) were kept cold, and eveything went off without a hitch, even with a splash of rain. The only downside I would mention is the location if you're a west-sider... But I can't fault them for that since their setup would be a lot more expensive if it were centrally located, and its more fun to have a wedding here vs a golf course. If you're thrifty, creative, and love good food in a natural setting, this is the place for you.

anging out with us in our own space. We wanted great food, outside party with an elegance that reminded you as a guest it was a wedding and a very important day to people who loved everyone there. Meadow Ridge gave us all that and more. I remember emailing for more info a little over a year and a half ago. I was immediately taken with the pictures, menu, and charm of Seneca. She arranged to meet with us short notice and in the very early cold spring of 2012. We arrived at Meadow Ridge most likely late because I'm always late it seems to a warm welcome and tour of their grounds. Seneca and her dad Art took great care in providing us with a clear image of what they do. They give the framework for loving couples to create moments and memories that last a lifetime. They explained to us their dream of what is now the Maple Pavilion and how it will be standing and ready for use in 2013. After our tour of the grounds, they took us into their family home to answer anymore questions and to show some pictures of past events. Let me be honest, John and I are very quick to know when something or someone is us or not. Almost, from the moment of meeting Seneca and Art, and hearing their passion for what they do John gave me that look and I told him to get the checkbook. The Maple Pavilion and Island venue for the ceremony was it for us mainly because Seneca and Art and the rest of their family that is Meadow Ridge was it for us. They made our day from dealing with my insane humor and crazy long emails that probably could have been summed up in one sentence to finding hot dogs for the three kids we had in our wedding and forgot special food for at the last minute. We chose Meadow Ridge venue site unseen, unbuilt and still in the planning phase because we knew just from meeting those who are Meadow Ridge that they would do whatever it took to make an unforgettable day in every way. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think how lucky we were to find them. Everyone of our guests and even those who have just seen pictures remark how great not only the wedding was but the staff who made it. Meadow Ridge is truly the best.

visited and as soon as we pulled up to the Oak Pavilion I knew I wanted my wedding to be there! The grounds are absolutely beautiful! My fiancee, now husband, also knew right away. He said it felt like he was relaxing in the park as we walked around. And the price was amazing as well! For the amazing service we received from Seneca and Matt, as well as the rest of the staff, I feel as though we should have paid twice as much as we did! The food is delicious! And Seneca had the Pavilion set up just as I imagined it. The entire staff was very attentive to our guests needs and even my little old Italian grandmother complimented them. I can't say enough good things about Meadow Ridge or the staff there. They made the entire weekend so easy for myself and for my family. I didn't have to worry about anything once we dropped off our decorations and went through the rehearsal. We were married on the Wedding Island and had the reception in the beautiful new Maple Pavilion. I would definitely recommend getting married there and I can't wait to schedule a family reunion there as well!

idges and overcome road blocks with their help. They are incredibly flexible and no matter what you want, they will make it your day! The food is beyond amazing. I love grilled foods and I do not believe that I have ever had barbecue as good as theirs. The site is incredibly versatile and the landscaping is fantastic. It really is a dream wedding spot!

e place! After we booked them for our wedding in August 2013 we came back with our parents and they instantly fell in love with this venue as well as their family! They are so nice and caring!! You are not a client in their eyes...you are family and they want the very best for your wedding. They helped with everything....we brought to our rehearsal all the decorations with instructions on where things were to be placed and they had everything looking absolutely amazing as if I would have set it up myself!(Myself being a little OCD and a perfectionist was nervous to have anyone else do this) I am not a crier however sitting in the limo underneath the carport I could see the mantel above the fireplace and tables all decorated I started to tear up and say OMG it looks absolutely wonderful!! I keep hearing from our quests about what a wonderful wedding we had....they wish they could get the food on a regular basis because it was so good!! I wish I could have another party just to go back to Meadow Ridge!!! If you are reading this please stop looking for a wedding venue BECAUSE you have found the one!! Meadow Ridge Events is the ONLY place you should have your special day!!

Ridge was "just like heaven!" when she walked in. We were so happy to utlize the beautiful new pavillion for this special day. Many thanks to Seneca, Matthew, Art, Linda, the Smith family, & MeadowRidge faculty for all of their personalized attention to detail and for making our day so special and memorable!

situated on the grounds and is simply a breathtaking facility. Truly a movie set worthy wedding location. Best of all, however, was working with Art, Linda, Seneca and Matt. They were all super accommodating, responsive, and kind. They have the perfect blend of family pride in their business while being extremely professional. That was important to me. I didn't want my wedding to be too formal, but I didn't want it to feel like a family reunion either. Meadow Ridge struck the perfect balance. Unlike the country clubs and golf courses that I considered, which felt more like wedding factories, the staff at Meadow Ridge took the time to know us and truly cared about making our wedding meet- and exceed- our expectations. All our guests were impressed (as were my husband and I) by the level of service received from the MR staff, which included several more people than we expected. And the food. Oh, the food. Art and his son did an outstanding job. I was worried about the grilled food getting cold or being overcooked for our 210 person wedding, but many guests complimented us on the chicken and the top round beef. Instead of the standard catered reception fare, we had a gourmet BBQ that, according to my foodie/caterer sister, rivaled many of the best receptions around. My only sadness of the day was that I wasn't hungry at dinner time, but didn't think to ask that a plate be set aside for me to eat later- a rookie mistake on my part, and a request I know they would have honored since they accommodated two guests who arrive 2 hours after dinner, but were still fed! What other facility would do that? Finally, my husband and I found Meadow Ridge to be quite reasonable in terms of pricing. Having the ability to purchase our own alcohol was a huge savings and allowed us to be creative with our bar service (all weddings should have a margarita machine). The food was comparable in price to similar venues, and the rental fee was less than several locations that we considered. I really appreciated that the prices were "all in"- no extras for chairs, cake cutting, random "we just want more money" fees that many of my friends had at other venues. We were able to budget much more carefully since there weren't any hidden costs. I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Meadow Ridge- it was truly wonderful.

h prompt responses. When we booked, we had over a year until our wedding day and whenever I came into town, Seneca allowed me to come for a visit. Finally, our wedding day had arrived and it was pouring down rain all morning. At the last minute, our outdoor ceremony was turned into the most beautiful and unforgettable indoor(ish) ceremony. The Meadow Ridge team were constantly asking what they could do for me without my having to ask! They were truly my sunshine on a rainy day and were fulfilling all of our wedding dreams, no questions asked! If I could go back and do it all over again, I wouldn't have changed a thing! In addition to the spectacular service, was the phenomenal food they prepared. This is no ordinary wedding food! The number of compliments we received about the ceremony, food and venue in general was fabulous. We do not deserve the compliments, the entire team at Meadow Ridge Events deserve all the recognition in the world! My family and I truly felt a part of your family on the most memorable day of my life! Thank you for all that you've done for us, I am one happy bride!
