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.

Unforgettable Experience

From the moment we arrived to view the venue we were sold! Gareth put us at ease and no question or request went ignored. The setting was absolutely stunning and was above and beyond anything we could have imagined. Every single person who attended our wedding said it was the best one they had been to.....mainly due to the fun staff and the games played. We will never forget a single moment of our day and would recommend them to anyone who needed a venue for any occasion!

Our special day!

The Ridgeway was absolutely amazing from the very start of planning from the moment we walked through the door for our first meeting everyone was polite and friendly, welcoming, our son has special needs and we was unsure if a wedding was something we could do without unsettling our son and making things harder for him after our first meeting the ridgeway was set as our place we booked to have our wedding in 3months they was so understanding and helpful everything was made easy from setting the date to organising extras we hired an outside company for a play area for the kids that was no issue I'm such a worrier but Gareth answered every question I had and squashed any worries immediately helped give me ideas, the day it's self was absolutely amazing and everything I had ever dreamed we went for a sunset wedding and the evening entertainment was brilliant had everyone on there feet laughing and enjoying them self's staff would check in periodically through the evening make sure we had drinks if everything was okay nothing was to much for this wonderful team. Loads of my guest commented how good the dj was how helpful with helping my older and youngwr gueat with the magic mirror which was a lovely addition to my day i loved looking through the photos the next day, the dj made sure the second copy was put into my guest book so no moments were missed. I highly recommend the rideway!

Couldn’t find a fault!

Genuinely overwhelmed by how perfect our special day felt, and it was all thanks to the people at Ridgeway. Gareth was honestly one of the nicest people you'll ever meet and could not do enough for us in the planning and run-up to the wedding. Ollie, Ally, Rob and Bill were beyond measure, nothing was too much and they were absolute professionals whilst remaining personable and kind! The timing of the day was fantastic, the entertainment was incredible and every single guest in attendance mentioned how brilliant the staff were. The venue itself didn't falter in any way either and was dressed absolutely beautifully. If we could redo it all again - we would pick Ridgeway 100/100 times. We can't thank you all enough!❤️

Wedding May 2023

Had an amazing day at the Ridgeway for our wedding in May 2023. Gareth the wedding planner was brilliant, always responding to queries promptly. Rob picked myself and my bridal party up and kept us calm chatting and joking. Alison was so friendly and professional and evening entertainment with Bill was fantastic. Everyone was up dancing and getting involved. Amazing location with stunning scenery around the golf course and food was great too. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Ridgeway for a wedding venue. I’d love to do it all over again.

Ridgeway Golf Club

Words aren't enough to describe how perfect these guys made our day, we had a vision and everyone at the venue went above and beyond to make it happen. The staff made us as a couple and every one of our ur guests feel so comfortable. The food tasted amazing and there was plenty of it. If i could have my wedding day again i would pick Ridgeway over and over again.
