The Perfect Wedding weekend!


By Janet S.

“The Ridges staff and The Oaks Kitchen meet our expectations and it was a seamless rehearsal dinner for our Son and new Daughter! We booked the Ridges in January for our November rehearsal dinner and a block of reasonably priced little mountain town resort rooms for our families & friends flying in and driving from all over the US. Lauren & Amanda were fabulous as well as Alexandra, Rhonda, Karen and all the staff.

The food was delicious as all our guested commented when Thanking is for a lovely rehearsal dinner. The atmosphere and experience was top notch! Our family, friends, and I all agreed the beds were comfortable, clean rooms that were inviting for the wedding weekend. The lakeside views and convenient walking trails, parking and dog friendly. We would highly recommend!’

We highly recommend The Ridges Resort

“Thank you for everything you did to make Inadia’s special day truly amazing! From switching her venue due to the weather, relieving our stress, to the incredibly delicious meal that received rave reviews from everyone at our table. The cheesecake was simply divine! And the cherry on top was the surprise room upgrade for Inadia and Jeremy. We can’t thank you enough. Special shoutout to Chloe, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Her attentiveness and smile were truly appreciated. We highly recommend The Ridges Resort without hesitation. Thank you for making their day so special!”

It was an incredible weekend!

“I had my November 2022 wedding at the Ridges Resort, and I could not have been happier with my decision. We were married on the lakeside lawn and had our reception in Red Banks Ridge. Our rehearsal dinner was the evening before in the newly renovated Oaks Lakeside Kitchen, which was spectacular! We had a 25-room block with our whole family and bridal party staying on site, which was a #1 concern when booking our venue.

The other thing we loved was that catering and bar packages were provided through the venue as well. The day of and for weeks after, I received so many compliments on how delicious our food was the entire weekend. Andy Allen, our event coordinator, even set aside a plate of the pass-around apps that my husband and I may have missed out on due to post-ceremony photos. My drink was never empty, and I felt well taken care of by Andy and her staff. I heard from many family members that it was one of the best weddings, if not the best, they had ever been to. The hotel rooms were modern and clean. The continental breakfast was delicious and there are also some fun restaurants nearby that we enjoyed during our wedding weekend in the mountains. We were able to meet with our coordinating team, lead by Andy, twice before the big day to plan out everything. She offered her expertise with rentals for the additional linens and chairs I had imagined with the color scheme I had planned for the day. Everything was very straightforward – I knew what would be included and what would cost extra and there were no surprises. We ate like royalty, we danced the night away – It was an incredible weekend I will never forget!”
