“TLDR: If you're on a super tight timeline (we had four months!!!!) and looking for a venue that does it all and THEN some for a really great price, this is the place for you!! I SWEAR. I literally had zero stress in any of the big decisions because they did it all for us! In-house catering with amazing food (guests raved about it during and after wedding), setup and cleanup without you needing to worry, in-house bartending, three different wedding package tiers to fit your budget, and the dreamiest venue site with history (dates back to 1850). My biggest stress was finding the right decor and my dress! Huge huge shout out to coordinatorsMeaghan and Brandi, who were the best with easy, quick and constant communication, and made sorting the details really fun. --- More details: We were planning a wedding in four months, as my husband is active duty in the navy and was set to leave in late July. We toured the venue days after finding it, and booked a date day-of after our tour. All we needed to do was pick what food we wanted (they were able to accomadate us doing a tasting on the weekend because military schedules are tough), what beverage package we wanted, and any add-ons. Throughout the four months, Meaghan was so easy to make changes and update our estimates as we wanted to add on or remove things. On the day of the wedding, I handed over a list of details on how to decorate the reception area and Meaghan, Brandi and staff did NOT disappoint. It was absolutely PERFECT. They were there to help my poor best friend's boyfriend MC the wedding with tips on what to say. Meaghan had a ceremony script on-hand when the officiant didn't have one (and showed up late; she was ready to officiate for us if she needed). They even kept the dance floor open for a few extra songs as T and I didn't get a chance to dance pretty much after our first dance and parent dances (we were pulled every which way). And when it came to tearing down after the fact, everything was boxed up and ready to go by the end of the night. I could write so much more, I literally love them so much for everything they did for us. Milton Ridge was absolutely perfect.”
