Magical Wedding Day

Magical wedding day from start to finish! The food, venue, and cabins were all perfect!

In addition to booking the venue, we used their largest coordination package and we blocked off the cottages for our guests and ourselves, both of which I highly recommend.

It was great to wake up at the venue with the bridal party and other family members already on site. That extra privacy made the day feel extra special. Everyone raved about their adorable historic cabins and some of the spouses took time to explore the grounds/battlefield on the morning of the wedding. It was also helpful that people were able to pop in to the getting ready space and go back to their own cabin throughout the day.

Taylor and Jennifer also did a great job helping us with coordinating beforehand and were very accommodating of all our requests. It was wonderful having a coordinator who worked at the venue since they have seen it all when it comes to how people decorate and lay things out, so they’re familiar with what works well in the space, they knew many of the vendors well, and they worked hard to make sure our vision came to life. It was also nice knowing a capable team was there the morning of to greet our vendors and do the clean up. Taylor also made sure we enjoyed the amazing cocktail hour and dinner. She ushered us to a private cocktail hour she had set up before we greeted our guests and then brought us our food as dinner started. I’m the only bride I know of who actually got to enjoy her food on her wedding day.

The chef took great care in helping us craft the menu and the food was a hit—everyone especially raved about the Oysters Rockefeller. They also did an excellent job accommodating food preferences and it was a flavorful and memorable meal.

Having the food, coordination, and venue with one team also made the wedding planning process much smoother. It was a relief to consolidate some of the process.

They are two for two on creating perfect days as my sister got married there several years ago. I assumed I had to get my “own” venue but everywhere else paled in comparison to value, privacy, and delicious food.
The beautiful location is matched by a capable team, so look no further for your perfect venue!

Steven Ridge is a beautiful venue and the staff there is amazing. In particular, Elizabeth, who we have worked with several time goes above and beyond to work with the couple and the vendors to insure the day flows smoothly. I can't wait to go back.
