Amazing day!

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Ridgeway Golf 4 All for our amazing day! It was everything we had hoped for. Even with the weather being absolutely horrendous.
The decoration was absolutely spot on, it was so much better than we had envisioned in our heads. Nothing was too much for them through the whole day. Ali was absolutely amazing from our arrival right up until she went. Making sure everyone had everything they needed.
Rob and Ollie made sure there was no time for anyone to entertain the thought of getting bored, with games and music through the evening. And once everyone had gone home, they played our choice of song and left the room for us to have one private last dance before we went home which meant a lot to us ❤️
Rob was on hand whenever we needed him, Driver, host and go-to man. He made sure we both got to the venue with perfect timing. He drove us back to our hotel, carried all of our things down to our room to make sure we got back safely.

We would 100% do that day all over again, without changing a thing (apart from the weather)
Thank you all so much. It was definitely a day we will never forget.

The Best Day

I really don’t know where to start when it comes to writing this review as I don’t think there are enough words out there to describe how perfectly amazing our wedding day was on the 13th August 2025 🤍

Even when asking our guests what they thought of the day and the venue, the 3 words that kept on coming up again and again were..
‘Perfect’ ‘Amazing’ and ‘Incredible’ and that’s exactly what it was 🥰

The Ridgeway smashed it out the park on every level. I will never ever stop raving about this place and whenever someone asks me about wedding venues, the first name that will come out of my mouth will be the Ridgeway.
I was so relaxed and chilled the morning of and getting ready as I just knew the Ridgeway had everything in hand and I didn’t need to worry about a single thing.

The entire team makes you feel like a million dollars and that no one else in the room matters but you. That doesn’t just include the main wedding team, it includes the bar staff, the catering staff, decorations staff and anyone else working behind the scenes. We felt nothing but overwhelming joy and happiness the entire day. Everyone makes you feel like you are the only ones that matter ❤️

We cannot thank all of you enough for making mine and my husbands day the best day of our lives 🤍

*5⭐️ Magical Wedding Experience

*5⭐️ Magical Wedding Experience!*
"We had the most incredible wedding experience at Ridgeway Golf Club on 24th July 2025! 😍 The entire team, including Bill, Olly, Ally, Rob, and Garath, went above and beyond to make our special day truly unforgettable. 💕
Bill's exceptional communication and problem-solving skills ensured that every detail was taken care of, and no phone call was ever a trouble. 📞
Olly's organizational skills and attention to detail made sure everything ran smoothly on the wedding day. 🙌
Ally's kindness and dedication to our well-being throughout the day was truly appreciated - she made sure we had drinks in our hands at all times and checked in on us constantly! 🥂
Rob was AMAZING! 🚗💥 His Porsche pickup was incredible, and he stayed with us all day, making sure we were OK and going above and beyond. He's truly outstanding, and we can't thank him enough! 🙏💕
Garath was just a phone call away if we needed to discuss anything, and he even picked me up in the morning, being so calming and making our drive very calming. 🚗💆‍♀️
The Mr. & Mrs. evening games were outstanding, and our guests are still talking about the best wedding they've ever been to! 🎉 The venue was magical, and the team worked together like a dream team to make our wedding day truly special. We're so grateful for their hard work and dedication. 🙏💕

Our perfect day at Ridgeway

Our Perfect Day at Ridgeway Wedding Venue ❤️

Bill you have an outstanding team! From the moment we booked our wedding at Ridgeway, we knew we were in good hands – but the reality exceeded every expectation.

First of all, Gareth – you absolute star. You were always at the end of the phone for every question (and let’s be honest, there were a lot of them – I probably drove you mad!) but you never made me feel like a bother. Your patience, reassurance, and willingness to help meant the world in the run-up to the big day.

On the day itself, Ali, I truly don’t have enough words for you. You went above and beyond in every possible way and, honestly, you saved me. You were my calm in the chaos – an absolute angel – and I will forever be grateful for everything you did to make sure the day went smoothly.

Olly, in the evening you made sure we never had an empty glass and that every single guest felt looked after. You kept the atmosphere buzzing and made sure everyone was enjoying themselves – we couldn’t have asked for better.

To all the bar staff, cooks, servers, and everyone else behind the scenes – thank you. The food was stunning and so many of our guests commented on how fantastic everything was. ❤️

And last, but by no means least… Rob – my very own fairy godfather. You gave us the courage to have our day exactly the way we wanted it. From the day we booked until the moment you took us home, you have been nothing short of amazing. You made us feel at ease, kept everything running perfectly, and went above and beyond – from unofficial photographer, to chauffeuring the groom to the wedding, to making sure every last detail was perfect. You are a credit to the venue, and we will forever be thankful to you.

If you’re booking Ridgeway, I 100% recommend adding the Finishing Touch Package and Photography Package – they made the day even more special. I’ll be leaving separate reviews for Adu Wedding and Events and Flashback Photography, but for now – thank you to every single person at Ridgeway who helped make our wedding truly magical.

Love,
Mr & Mrs Owen ❤️

A wedding tailored to your preferences 10/10 from us

We got married 25.06.25
I have never felt more comfortable and confident walking through a crowd of people!
From start to finish the staff made us feel so relaxed. I feel like I’ve known Gareth for years! Ollie and Aly were so easy to get along with, nothing was an effort! Bar staff were great and easy approachable.
So many family members mentioned what a lovely day it was. We wanted a relaxed wedding and ridgeway delivered.. we did have the opportunity to create a grander wedding but we were more than happy with what we chose. The right people and a beautiful venue was all we needed.

Amazing day!

We got married here on 12/06/25 and despite the rain during the ceremony (typical Welsh summer), we had the best day ever! The process of booking the venue was straight forward, Gareth was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Ally & Rob made sure everything ran smoothly all day, and made sure we had a drink in our hands at all times. Ollie & Rob kept the party going all night and they were truly outstanding. We couldn't have asked for any more from the staff, if we could do it all again, we absolutely would! Thank you all for making our day extra special, we are so grateful 🥰 Mr & Mrs Thorne x

A perfect day

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I don’t even know where to start with how amazing the Ridgeway team were in the lead up to my wedding.
Gareth was fantastic from start to finish, excellent communication and very accommodating for elements that we wanted to do slightly differently or changes we wanted to make. Very responsive to messages which was so helpful when planning.

Rob was also amazing - put me at ease on the drive down to the venue and was so attentive (helping to carry bags etc). He took some lovely photos for the venue that we also then got to see as well. His personality helped to put us both at ease and stop stressing.

Ally was also fantastic, she very quickly arranged the bridesmaids and flower girls while I was being spoken to by the registrar. She made sure the guests were seated and that everyone was in the right place. Again, she was so calming and it was very much needed and appreciated.

Last but by no means least, Ollie. He looked after us for the evening and again, he was wonderful. He made sure we always had a drink in our hand, he was so fun and the evening entertainment he provided really got the guests up on their feet and having a fabulous time. He also made sure that Lewis and I were able to catch time alone together to decompress and just be with each other which was very appreciated.

Overall, we actually could not be happier with how our day went, it was absolutely perfect and this was in a large part due to the amazing team at the Ridgeway. They seemed to be able to anticipate our needs before we knew we even needed anything. I also feel that even though we had a less expensive package, they treated us with the same importance as people who may have had more expensive packages. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they turned what could have been a very stressful day into a perfect day. Further to this the guests all commented on how it was such a laid back, fun and relaxed wedding and this is exactly what we wanted.

If I could do it all again I would and I would choose the Ridgeway every single time ❤️

The best day of my life with the support of the ridgeway team

The ridgeway team were outstanding throughout my wedding. I booked my wedding 8 weeks in advance and although I didn't have much time for planning, it didn't matter as the ridgeway team were there by my side guiding me throughout. There is not one fault I could pick woth the team, the venue, the food or the service. Absolutely 5 star throughout.

Dream Wedding

What can I say? We had our wedding at Ridgeway in September and it was incredible.

Gareth orchestrated our entire day and it was simply perfect.

Every detail was beautiful.

The food for the wedding breakfast and evening buffet was delicious.

All the staff were incredible! Big shout out to Gareth, Bill, Ollie, Ally, Rob and all the bar and catering staff.

Thank you for making our dream come true!

Wedding review

Our wedding day was perfect from start to finish.
The team at Ridgeway throughout the whole process were amazing. Gareth was always on hand to answer any questions we had prior to the day, and was so friendly and helpful.
The venue, food and drinks throughout the day met all our expectations, despite the weather not being the best.
The evening entertainment was amazing with Bill and the team making sure everyone was involved.
We couldn't have had a better day and this was all down to the brilliant team at Ridgeway.

The best day we could have ever asked for!

Originally we booked a venue that was going to cost us upwards of £12,000, but shortly after realising we would have trouble starting a family and required fertility treatment privately, we decided to find a “budget venue”.

Ridgeway golf club fit the check, and although it was “budget friendly” by cost, it exceeded our expectations and more. The staff at ridgeway went above and beyond to make sure our big day was perfect. From planning, to decorations, to entertainment, food, and getting everyone involved, it was by far the best wedding we had ever attended (and not just because it was our own haha). Every single person who attended said they thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and so many of our guests told us it was also the best wedding they had been to!

We honestly thought we’d be settling for “less” when our budget dropped, but I truly believe that our wedding at ridgeway was better than it ever could have been elsewhere, regardless of price tags! Don’t hesitate booking ridgeway if it is one of your potential venues, I promise you’ll have the best wedding ever if you do book here! :)

Thank you all again for making our wedding in 2022 the most memorable and special day ever.

Our special day

There is nothing bad either myself or husband can say about Ridgeway. From the moment we viewed the venue we knew this was going to be our special place..
They make everything perfect for you. Food and evening buffet is outstanding. The way they decorate the place is just stunning. But most importantly they really make sure your day is stress free. Evening entertainment is a must, it gets everyone in the mood to continue the evening party especially after such a busy day.
We will forever be grateful to Ridgeway and the staff for starting our next chapter as a married couple with a bang.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
