I submitted a request online for some more info but was never contacted. so i called twice and was told i would get a call back the next day but never received those calls. i called back today for a third time and when i said i’ve actually been trying to get in touch for awhile, and wanted to speak with the owner i was hung up on!!! all i wanted was some pricing but they have driven away my business with the poor communication & customer service. most other reviews seem positive so it’s unfortunate that i was treated so differently.

As a wedding planner just within the first phone call I AM BLOWN AWAY by how amazing Ridgewood's staff has been in helping me plan my own wedding. I highly recommend hopping on a phone call with them asap if you're considering this venue!

Ridgewood is such a beautiful location for weddings and events. Surrounded by beautiful scenery, mountains, river, trees, fields, it has so much variety in its beauty! As a photographer I love venues that have so many different backgrounds and locations so close together, and the ability to have your getting ready suite, ceremony and reception in the same location helps keep a wedding day running smoothly. Everyone who works at Ridgewood is very kind and will work hard to make sure your wedding or event is top tier. They have multiple different decoration themes, and are more than willing to work

The ambience, the flowers, landscape, and fresh air create a magical and loving experience for any special occasion. I highly recommend hosting a special event at Ridgewood. It will not only be memorable, it will be transformative.

I've been to several events and weddings at Ridgewood both as a guest and vendor. The property is breathtakingly gorgeous and the staff is friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend Ridgewood.

I had my wedding at Ridgewood Event Center, in December 2019. I was so impressed with the amazing customer service, they were wonderful from the first meeting to even after the big day. You can see the live and care put into everything they do. My Coordinator Joan was top notch, and made the process a dream. Weddings can be so stressful and the staff at Ridgewood, did everything they could to make the day as seamless and stress free as possible. I reccomend them to anyone I know having an event.

Ridgewood is an beautiful and amazing venue. I was in a bind when my original wedding venue was stuck under 7ft of snow only 5 weeks before my wedding. Jill was amazing and not only helped me out but made sure everything was just how I wanted it to be. Everyone was so helpful and understanding and made sure my big day was perfect.
