Beautiful venue for a wedding and the staff was incredible to work with. They put as as ease and made our wedding as stress free as possible.
After viewing several venues The Ridge fit our budget and desires for an indoor reception space and outdoor ceremony space. They were flexible when we had to change our wedding dat...
e due to COVID-19 and accommodated rentals we brought in. The venue is best for couples that want to pay a flat fee and have everything included as they provide everything you need to make your day complete!
Beautiful spot for a reception! The chandeliers made for a very romantic setting and the coordinator was very helpful and responsive to questions. Highly recommend!
This was the perfect location for our wedding reception! The event coordinator was detailed and everything went off without a hitch. Every penny paid was worth the customized dinin...
g and celebration experience. We would do it all over again here if we could!
We got married at The Ridge in March 2018. I could not have asked for a better venue! Liz is so nice and very easy to work with, the venue itself is beautiful and well-maintained (...
inside and out), and the food is delicious. We have gotten so many compliments from our guests about the venue.
What initially drew us to picking The Ridge was that there weren't a bunch of added fees like many other venues. We also loved the view of the golf course from the ceremony location. We were then very impressed by how smoothly things felt leading up to the wedding, as well as on the wedding day itself. My husband's favorite part was the food tasting. They provide many delicious choices for dinner that it made it difficult for us to choose. Overall, I am extremely happy with The Ridge!
Phenomenal service and venue!!
First of all, I've always wanted to get married under an oak tree and the Ridge has the perfect tree to get married under. Second, the reception room...
is huge, there are beautiful chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and when all of the other lights are dimmed low the room feels magical. Also, the food is AMAZING!!!! After my fiance and I had the tasting, I was craving the steak and chicken everyday leading up to our wedding day. No joke, I woke up and was like, "I can't wait to eat that steak!!!"
I had been working with Liz for 8 months leading up to my wedding, she's the event's coordinator and she's a life saver! She had an answer to all my questions.
I was that bride who wasn't stressed out on her wedding day. After planning for so long you get to the point where you don't care anymore because you know everything will be taken care of. Liz was so sweet and helpful, she made sure that everything ran smoothly and even brought champagne into the bridal suite for all my girls.
Overall, the venue was extremely affordable. Ladies, don't spend 12k on a venue that doesn't even quote you the dinning costs. Our total for the venue was less than 6k. You get Liz, awesome staff, amazing food, and gorgeous scenery to make for the most amazing day of your life! I would recommend this venue to everyone!!
Loved the venue- the day of coordinator was so easy to work with! She knew what she was doing, and she helped ease our minds while planning all the details. The food was FANTASTIC ...
and it was a perfect day.

at The Ridge made our wedding perfect. She made things flow, took out the family drama, and was always prompt when responding to questions via email or phone leading up to the wedding day. She made accommodations for us in regards to specific requests we had made as well. This venue is beautiful, priced reasonably and your photographer will have so much to choose from. The food is delicious too! We would highly recommend The Ridge as a wedding venue to any couple. I wish we could do it again! Huge thank you to Liz for making our day perfect!

The venue is beautiful inside and out. We held our ceremony underneath the large oak tree in the front, and our reception in the banquet hall. The staff was great, the food was delicious, and they way they accommodated us during and after our big day made the entire experience virtually stress free.

or, Liz. My family and friends raved about how professional and organized she was. It was just so nice having everything taken care of. The whole day was perfectly planned out and I did not have to stress about a thing. I would definitely recommend having your wedding here. The fact that they provide the ceremony set up, tables, chairs and catering all in one place makes it super easy to plan. And Liz took care of any additional things I needed to order for the reception. If you are looking for a place where they know weddings, I would definitely suggest The Ridge as your venue.
