We absolutely LOVED our experience at a Venue on the Ridge. The venue is absolutely gorgeous with the golf course and city in the background. It was a breeze having everything in one place! They gave us the option to use them for decor as well and let me tell you, I’m SO GLAD we did. The day was stunning and all I had to do was show Amy some pictures and share my vision. And she made it come to life. Devon, Amy, and Tawnya worked so well together to make everything go off without a hitch. Their goal was to make sure my husband and I had the wedding we wanted without the headache of doing everything ourselves. AND THE FOOD. So good! We got endless compliments on our everything about our special day and it wouldn’t have been anything near the perfection it was without the ladies at A Venue on the Ridge. They are AMAZING!

We worked with Molly, Amy, and Devon. They were all wonderful. There was a lag in communication at one point but nobody is perfect and they always made things right for us! Great food and space. Most beautiful outdoor wedding under this beautiful tree. Reviewed on 04-09-2023

I cannot say enough good things about A Venue on the Ridge and their staff. They made our wedding day flawless, stress free, and beautiful. As a bride who does not drink alcohol they were VERY accommodating and on top of what I could drink and the drinks at my seat at the table so I could truly enjoy our day. Devon was hired in June/July, and my wedding was 8/4…so that made me very nervous that a new person was going to be running my event I’ve spent so much time and money on. BUT SHE DID SO GOOD!! She was so client-centered, detail-oriented, and didn’t skip a beat. Sometimes these venues/companies just want your money, but Devon and A Venue on the Ridge were all about making our day exactly what we wanted and pictured. I highly recommend A Venue on the Ridge for weddings, holiday parties, class reunions, whatever the event because they will 100% knock it out of the park! Reviewed on 25-08-2023

We just got married at a Venue on the Ridge this past weekend - and it was truly one of the best days of my life and I can't stop raving about them. We booked them over two years ago, and every interaction leading up to the wedding was a positive experience. Tanya and Amy were AMAZING helping lead the rehearsal the night before, which kept my mind at ease knowing that it would go perfectly. The day of, they made sure that everything was perfect for my husband & I. All of our guests told us how they loved the food, drinks, and loved how the dance floor is in the middle of the room! That was probably my favorite part, it helps the dance floor stay busy all night. I would 10/10 recommend this venue to anyone. I wish I could relive the day over and over. Reviewed on 15-06-2023

Taylor Partusch(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-06-2022 This venue exceeded all of our expectations for our wedding reception. The food was delicious and the line moved SO fast which was incredible because we got to the dancing way earlier than expected! The staff was very communicative throughout the entire process and so nice throughout the night ensuring my husband and I were happy as well as all of our guests. I had a day of coordinator hired outside of the venue's staff and they made sure that she was well-informed. Would highly recommend this space for your reception! Reviewed on 12-07-2022
Rachel Cottier(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-01-2022 Everything about the reception venue was perfect. The staff worked with us and were highly communicative, both beforehand and during the reception. They have catering in-house, and the food was delicious, so that was a relief that we didn’t have to coordinate with another vendor! The space was incredible, and it was evident that everyone there was as concerned with the reception going well as I was! I would book them again for an event without hesitation!

Erin Hillabrand(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-10-2021 We had our wedding October 2nd, 2021 and everything was absolutely perfect, from the initial walkthrough the year prior to the month ahead meeting, the rehearsal day, and wedding day. They always answered our questions timely and if they didn't exactly know an answer or we had a particular request, we still got things answered ASAP, and it all remained so well priced. Rehearsal/decorating day was made so easy and we were always consulted on what our wishes were. We added many bonuses of uplighting, picture backdrop, barn door backdrop for cake table, and the absolutely beautiful floral decorations for the barn door and our outdoor arbor, late night nacho and churro bar, and they were all SO worth it. Everything was PERFECT. Our wedding day had a range of rain chances and all staff remained positive and made sure we could have our ceremony outside. Tanya, the day of coordinator, was everything I could have wished for and catered to us hand and foot. I did not have to worry about a single thing on my wedding day and it was a perfect day that went by way too fast. Reviewed on 09-11-2021
Tiffany Majeski(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-05-2021 We just had our wedding this weekend at A Venue On the Ridge. We absolutely loved the owners Amy & Bob they are amazing and so accommodating. We had our wedding of approx. 190 people outside, and the reception inside. They didn’t have a separate space for us to get ready so they came up with two spaces, and it ended up being perfect. They had everything we needed, and if they didn’t they found it for us. Everything went incredibly smooth, the food was amazing we chose the two entree, two starches option. We had an open bar- silver package and it was totally worth it. We 100% recommend A Venue On The Ridge. Reviewed on 03-05-2021

Rebekah Knapp(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-08-2020 We got a late start due to another venue closing and running away with our money. BUT Molly the event coordinator worked diligently to try to find a date that could accommodate. From the first communication with her to the last (when the flower girl had lost her shoes and we needed to find them) they were top notch. The owners are amazing, they do the catering in-house and it was wonderful. Everything turned out as promised. Our families love language is food so that was super important to us. One of the best prime ribs we have had. We also used the outdoor patio for the actual wedding and that was set up so nicely. We did very little decorating as they had it all set up already. There was some confusion on the open bar but that was totally on us not clarifying our understanding so I would recommend that you do that. Even create a sign to have on the bar so guest know what is \"free\" They also ended up recommending a florist who turned out to be extraordinary.

Laura Fusselman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-05-2017 I cannot say enough great things about this venue. It is a true hidden gem! The venue itself is gorgeous on its own but they provide quality linens, decorations and china all included in your room rental. The food is also incredible! They independently contract with Fresh catering but it is for good reason! The food is delicious and every single one of our guests has raved about how great it was! But the true reason behind this 5star review is because of their coordinator Danica. She went above and beyond on our weekend to make sure everything went smoothly. She coordinated with our vendors for set up, helped us decorate the Friday before the wedding and kept everything running perfectly the day of! She is truly the best! Reviewed on 01-06-2017
