Ashley Ridge By Wedgewood Weddings was the perfect venue for our wedding. The communication with the venue coordinators was quick, though sometimes a bit frustrating as they rescheduled several meetings in a row, but they were always eager to help us and/or answer our questions. We were able to customize nearly everything and the final result was amazing. Our coordinator and banquet captain were so sweet and attentive throughout the night. We're so glad we chose Ashley Ridge and would highly recommend it to any couple looking for a gorgeous, customizable wedding venue.

We got married here on 4/20/24 and it was a delight. So convenient to have our ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and dance party all at the same venue! Choosing the month of coordination package was definitely a lifesaver for us. Erin did a phenomenal job with pre-planning mettings, setting up the decor and running the day smoothly! She pivoted easily when it snowed all day and our cocktail hour had to move indoors. The whole team were incredible professionals. One main reason we picked SKYLIGHT was for the 24 hour rental option beacuse our friends like to dance late into the night. Clay not only did a fantastic job with the alcohol ordering and bartending, he stayed up all night as the after hours venue contact in case we needed anything. The blank slate of the venue really gave us power to create decorations that represented ourselves. We are so grateful to the entire SKYLIGHT team for making our wedding dreams come true!

The first time I set foot in the Tivoli Turnhalle at 18, I knew it was where I wanted to get married. Ten years later, I did exactly that, and it’s the best possible decision I could have made. The building was built in the 19th century, so there’s definitely a gilded-age vibe that’s both beautiful and industrial. My husband and his groomsmen loved drinking a beer at the brewery before the ceremony, and I loved having a full bridal suite at the hotel on campus. Everything about this venue was fabulous, and I can’t recommend it enough!
