The best wedding venue

Me and my husband got married here on the 8th of August! We had a fabulous day,
I can’t recommend this venue enough
And the staff were all phenomenal.
Our main point of contact was Gareth and he had gone above and beyond for us and made sure we got everything exactly how we wanted and even accomadated last minute changes for us, we met Alison and Ollie on the day of our wedding and they were so friendly and helpful and made sure the day went smoothly,
We also met Rob on the day of and from the moment he picked me up from my home til the moment he dropped us off at the hotel he was fantastic and made us feel completely at ease, he also makes the evening great with the evening entertainment and his dancing.
The venue was dressed amazingly!
We upgraded our package and added on the finnishing touches package which I am so so glad that we did as the decoration made the venue look stunning ofcourse it is absolutely beautiful as it but so much more gorgeous with the upgrade and for all that we got with the package it is so worth it!
Plus Cheryl the lady who decorates the venue with the finishing touches package is so friendly and is exceptional with detail and will go above and beyond to make sure the venue looks unreal.
So many of my guests came up to us to tell us it was the best wedding they had attended.
The Entertainment in the evening was so funny I have not seen that at another wedding which I think is cool to have something different,
We were going to book a magician or a Caricaturist how ever this is definitely not required and I am glad I didn’t fork out extra money for this as the guests my husband and myself were entertained more than enough.
the bar staff and waiters were lovely and extremely friendly and also deserve a mention for there service.
I just want to say a massive thank you to the whole team at the ridgeway!
Your all fantastic and I appreciate how brilliant you made our special day 1f90d.png2728.png
P.s for those that are worried about the weather …don’t!
our whole day it was pouring down,
Yet it didn’t effect us in the slightest the day still ran perfectly!
We still got every single one of our photos,
there is so many different backgrounds in this venue that me and my husband didn’t even feel as if we missed out by not going outside!
We stayed nice and dry indoors the whole day,
And everyone told us of the superstirion that rain on your wedding day is good luck!
To and from the car Rob made sure I remained completely dry, it was soaking outside and blowing a gail my hair/make up and dress remained untouched,
I spent a lot of energy worrying about the weather and if my day would feel ruined and I really did not have to worry at all!

The best day ever!

We got married at Ridgeway on 28.07.24 and honestly it was the best day of our lives. Everyone has commented on how amazing their day was. The staff went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect and that we were looked after all day - we were never without a drink! We could not have wished for a better venue.
Through the planning process. Gareth was amazing and made sure that everything was the way that I wanted it to be and has been a dream to speak to. We have definitely made friends!
Alison was amazing during the day and made sure we were looked after and everything ran how we wanted it to. Same with the evening, Ollie was fantastic always checking in to see if we were ok. They both were so lovely and approachable and kept updating us on what we like be happening next.
Bill really got the party started and everyone has commented on how amazing this was. Everyone had a great time and loved the games! We had such a fun time.
Rob thank you so much for driving me to the venue and always keeping me calm on the way there and making us all laugh. Also thank you for making sure myself and my husband were happy throughout and also running us through what was going happen next. We had a good laugh going out of the golf course and taking the pictures thank you so much.
If I could do the day again all over again, I would choose this venue every time as it is such a beautiful venue, but also everyone is so passionate about their jobs here that they make sure every detail of your day is perfect.
Thank you all so much we wish we could do it all over again.

Beyond amazing

·
Hi Ridgeway, Mr and Mrs Johnson here. We got married on Saturday 27th July and to say impressed is an understatement! From our first meeting with Gareth and many more after hehe, it was a joy to have him looking after us.
I would like to thank Paul for driving me and my stepdad to the venue he was very friendly and made me feel at ease. Gareth and his dad absolutely loved the Porsche, and Rob was an absolute pleasure to have driving them to the venue. He of course was absolutely fantastic through out the whole day and made us both laugh especially when we went out on the golf buggy for some scenic photos. It was so much fun. I may have enjoyed it a bit too much but of course that’s what it’s all about.
Alison was absolutely amazing from the time that I arrived before going down the aisle. She really helped settle the nerves as she could see that I was nervous.
We also want to say how fab she was with us at checking in on us and ensuring the day was running smoothly and that we were happy with everything.
The food was delicious and our guests also shared their appreciation during the day.
We want to give a big shout out to the bar and catering staff who served everyone, we thought they were exceptionally good at ensuring everyone had what they asked for and so much more. On that note we want to say a massive thank you for going above and beyond with those who had special requirements, we fully appreciate it.
The entertainment was absolutely class Rob and Ollie sure know how to get a party started and getting everyone involved . We had family and friends coming up to us saying how much they thoroughly enjoyed it and had an absolute blast .
Ollie was also amazing at ensuring that we and everyone one else were ok and that we were having a great time .
The magic mirror was definitely a fantastic idea which was used by very much everyone and we of course have enjoyed having a few giggles at photos in our guest book. What we loved about it was that family and friends were also able to take a photo home and that Rob signed the photo of us on the behalf of ridgeway .
We feel like we’ve gained an extended family and would highly recommend this venue for anyone who is looking to get married here.
If we were to do it all again we would choose Ridgeway every time.
Love
Sarah & Gareth xx

Absolutely Perfect

Well what can I say....just AMAZING!! From the moment we booked to the moment we left everything was perfect. Helping us with everything and anything that came our way
😊
Gareth's help leading up to the wedding and during the day was amazing, he made us just feel relaxed, welcomed, always there for us with any little thing we needed.
Ollie's help throughout the day of the wedding was brilliant, from the little check ups with us to the introductions of the speeches.
Alyson was so friendly and helpful. She always had a smile on her face and just made us feel at ease.
Rob....well what can I say about Rob. He just went above and beyond from the moment he picked me up to the very end of the night. He kept the energy going and always putting a smile on our faces!!
The whole staff were just amazing, there was nothing they wouldn't do to make sure we had the perfect day and we both really appreciate it!!! They were always there for us to help but didn't feel like they were just hanging around.
The venue looked amazing, including so many little touches to make it special, the food was so tasty, the entertainment was brilliant and the disco just ended the night perfectly. We really couldn't have asked for more from the whole Ridgeway staff and venue.
We really want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making an already special day even more perfect than we could have ever imagined 😍

It was the best decision to get married here

Me and my husband got married on the 18th July and honestly it was the best day of our lives, Ridgeway went out of there way to make sure that everything was perfect for us and we could not be more thankful for everyone that help organise the wedding with us.
Gareth went way beyond to make sure that everything was the way that I wanted it to be even though I’m sure that I was annoying at times by asking stupid question but you always put my mind at ease. You made us feel like a friend was planning our wedding and always knew how to keep us calm if we were getting stressed. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us.
We also want to thank Ollie for all the support on the day of the wedding and making sure everything was set out perfect for us. Thank you for make sure that the day ran smoothly by talking us through how the day would be ran.
Alison thank you for making sure that the evening was how we wanted it to be, even when we went a little bit of course with how you do the cake and cut it a bit earlier than you normally do. Thank you for getting everyone involved in the evening and getting everyone up dancing.
Rob thank you so much for driving me to the venue and always keeping me calm on the way there as me and my dad was both really nervous walking down the aisle and you were distracting us throughout the drive down. Also thank you for making sure me and my husband was happy throughout and also running us through what was going happen next. We loved going out of the golf course and taking the pictures thank you so much for all that you have done for us. We are also so thankful for making sure we got to the hotel safely and that we were at the correct hotel.
If was to do it all over again I would choose this venue everytime as it is such a beautiful venue but also everyone is so passionate about there jobs here that they make sure every detail of your day is perfect. Thank you all so much we wish we could do it all over again.
