From the moment we booked Redbird Ridge Estate for our wedding, the staff were readily available, kind, and extremely helpful. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with a modern and inviting atmosphere that made our special day feel so warm and personal. They were able to fulfill my request to rearrange some of the furniture to better suit our needs, and even allowed me to rent a tent to cover the back deck so my caterer could easily set up and tear down our dinner buffet. The only downside was the lack of a full kitchen, which did make it a bit more challenging for the catering team. But overall, Redbird Ridge Estate went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect, and I'm so grateful we chose this stunning venue.
