The Ridge

impersonal and transactional. When visiting The Ridge for the first time, we immediately knew this was the perfect place. David and Liz were so welcoming each time we visited the property. It is evident that they truly care deeply about the work they do. They were so helpful throughout the whole planning process, from finding excellent vendors to looking for a nearby nail salon. Their support and communication was extremely comforting throughout all the stresses of wedding planning. We have received so many compliments about how beautiful the venue was, but even more compliments about how wonderful David and Liz were.

lpful and kind people who helped us with so much of the setup, finding vendors, etc. I found this place with only 2 months to go until my wedding date and the owners were able to help me pull it off with absolutely no issues and directed me toward some fantastic vendors. I HIGHLY recommend this venue. I have no complaints whatsoever and received endless compliments about the venue, its natural beauty, and extreme helpfulness of the owners. It is well worth the money. I was not stressed at all on my wedding day thanks to choosing this amazing venue. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!

ensuring that our weekend came to life just as we envisioned! Liz and David very helpful when we had to do site visits and when there were special vendor needs or questions regarding the property. On the day of the wedding, all our guests could talk about was how STUNNING The Ridge property is! The ceremony and reception felt so whimsical, and our photos turned out better than we ever imagined. Our wedding day was perfect, and a big part of that is due to Liz and David and this amazing venue. The day after the wedding, the festivities continued with a pool party at The Ridge. We had our close friends and family come over for fun bbq, while kids and adults enjoyed the 100ft water slide. I would recommend The Ridge to anyone looking for a breathtaking venue in the Santa Cruz mountains and amazing service!

serene beauty of the towering trees. The venue's natural splendor provided a stunning backdrop that made our day feel like a fairytale. If you’re looking to save money on florals this venue is an excellent choice because there is so much natural beauty, florals could be very simple! We had no issues with noise complaints and were able to dance the night away on the amazing Vance floor in the middle of a redwood and oak grove. There are soooo many incredible locations for photos including a stunning redwood log cabin, a gorgeous golden hour forest, and a beautifully landscaped waterfall …just to name a few! The owners and staff were incredibly accommodating, guiding us through every detail with ease and ensuring that everything went off without a hitch. Their dedication to making our day perfect was evident in every aspect. As if that wasn’t enough, our day-after party with family and friends at The Ridge was incredible. We blasted down the 100’ water slide, opened gifts, basked in the sun, and reflected on a day we will never forget. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines unparalleled natural beauty with exceptional service, The Ridge is an absolute gem. We couldn't have asked for a more enchanting setting or a more attentive team to help make our dreams come true.
