“Greenock Manor was TRULY a dream come true for us! When describing my ideal venue, I would tell people that I wanted a “manor vibe” with a space for a reception that was “outdoor and covered, but not by a tent” AND I wanted fairy lights over the dance floor. I wasn’t sure a place like that even existed, and if it did, I thought there was no way it’d be in our (tight) budget. But then I found Greenock, and had a phone conversation with Chanel, who immediately started listing all the things she could do to make it work for us. I couldn’t believe it! And after we booked, she continued to go above and beyond when it came to planning and coordinating. She was so kind, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable, and our wedding ended up being PERFECT thanks to her (and her great staff!). We will recommend Greenock to all our friends!”

“As soon as we arrived, we were so glad that we had chosen Milton Ridge and knew that we had made the right choice. All of the staff were very welcoming and helpful. They were with us through every step of our wedding day with lots of support and smiles. The cottage for getting ready is very cute, the chapel is beautiful, and the reception hall is great as well. They have many services included in their various wedding packages like catering, DJ, photographer, and cake. They also have outside vendors that they work with frequently, such as hair and make-up and a florist, who are all wonderful. They are inclusive, and they are supportive of LGBT weddings. My now wife and I are part of the LGBT community, and we were treated very well by the entire team. We were able to have our wedding exactly how we wanted, and they worked with us on every detail. On the day, they had the entire day scheduled and kept us on track, which is actually so necessary and helpful on a day when you're trying to do so many things. Everything went smoothly and as stress free as a wedding can be. It was truly a wonderful day. Thank you so much to the whole team! -Harley and Jackie”
