“As a couple of working professionals, my biggest concerns with a wedding was coordinating so many different vendors, juggling a dozen or more invoices, and stressing about so the day of details. Milton Ridge was the perfect venue to alleviate all those concerns and more. With their diamond package, we were able to cover almost everything through Milton Ridge, with only a few extra vendors and/or DIY solutions needed. They are amazing to work with and were very helpful when any need or problem came up. It was also very nice knowing that most concerns, such as weather or a change in the amount of people, would be handled by the staff and day of coordinator, Meaghan. A phenomenal team that made our wedding the most perfect day of our lives. Thank you, Milton Ridge! PS - The photos were done by the photographer provided by Milton Ridge! Absolutely gorgeous!”
