My daughter was married at Hermitage Rippy Estates in September after being postponed from April due to COVID. Kim made a very stressful time so much easier. It was like having a friend to help with everything from scheduling to setting up for the big day. I highly recommend this venue for any celebration. The estate is beautiful and Kim is so easy to work with. Kim and her husband went above and beyond to help make my daughter's wedding perfect.
