Milton Ridge was an incredible place to get married! The beauty of the venue and the inclusive wedding options (i.e. catering, DJ, etc.) made this the absolute perfect place to say, "I do!" The getting ready suites were superb & made the day of preparation before the ceremony seamless. The chapel was so beautiful and such a great little spot off the side of 355. Our guests still comment on the simplicity of how we decorated the chapel, and how beautiful the white walls and natural light streaming in were during the ceremony. I was not sure how we'd get group photos on the property... and our photographers were able to use the beautiful stone and green areas within the venue to capture the most beautiful photos of the bride, groom and the wedding party! Guests are still RAVING about how convenient it was to walk up a few stairs to the cocktail hour AND into the reception. They marveled at the ease... park your car, attend the ceremony and then stay and party all night long until it's time to leave! The reception hall was beautiful; the buffet food was to die for; and Meghan and Brandi ensured that EVERY detail of our wedding day was accounted for, seamless and flowing without any hitch! I cannot recommend Milton Ridge enough! Thank you for making our wedding day the most memorable and BEST day of our lives! We owe it to this team, this venue and their support with planning our wedding every step of the way!

From our first conversation with Donna at Ostertag Vistas, we knew we had found our venue. She was quick to respond to our questions and made the whole planning process feel personal and easy. When we arrived for rehearsal, the reception area was already decorated and it completely took my breath away—every detail we had discussed was executed perfectly. The property offers so many location options that we could envision any bride's dream wedding coming to life there. The rustic and elegant atmosphere felt magical, and we have to credit Donna's day-of coordination services for making our special day run seamlessly. We fully recommend hiring their coordination team and choosing Ostertag Vistas for your wedding.

AMAZING! Just amazing job done by Colt and his team. I was panicking when I got to the venue because hair and makeup ran an hour over, he assured me we were fine and we’d have plenty of time. He kept us on schedule for the ceremony and reception and just was there every second. Once we got into the reception he brought my husband and I ice packs and put them in the back of our shirt/dress. He made sure we got food, drinks, etc. Colt is amazing. The venue is BEAUTIFUL! Everyone told me how amazing the venue was and the food was so good. The cake was absolutely amazing. The DJ was amazing! We had the best time. I can’t recommend Jordan Springs Estate enough. You won’t be disappointed.

Choosing this venue for our wedding was honestly one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, Ed and Abby welcomed us into their home and made us feel more like family than clients. Their venue is not only beautiful and affordable, but the amount of care and love they put into every detail truly made our day feel special. Abby was an absolute lifesaver throughout the planning process. She helped us finesse our color schemes, suggested flowers that matched the decor I already had, and always made us feel reassured whenever we felt overwhelmed. They had so many items available to use which saved us A LOT of money. Both Ed and Abby were incredibly hands-on and genuinely invested in making sure everything came together perfectly. Absolutely cannot forgot how accommodating they both were with my daughter. Ed & Abby made her feel so comfortable and welcomed that she knew the ins and outs of their home! Having the TVs were a huge plus. Between them and our planner, we felt so much less stress leading up to the wedding because we knew we were in good hands. Their kindness, support, and attention to detail made such a huge impact on our experience, and we’ll always be grateful for everything they did to help make our wedding day unforgettable.

The Graham Hotel Rooftop Bar was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. Ms. Basma was hands on and available 24/7, making the planning process a breeze. The venue was very nicely decorated with enough space for all our guests. Basma and her team were incredibly professional, and their service and attention to detail exceeded our expectations. We had our reception at the Alex Speakeasy and Garden area, and dinner up on the stunning Rooftop, which Basma and her team made flawless and easy for all our guests. The food was delicious - the appetizers were especially tasty and are still talked about by our guests. The views from the Rooftop were incredible.
