Rolling Ridge was everything we wanted in a venue! When we first saw the venue we knew it was perfect for our day because there are many wonderful options to have your ceremony, dinner and dance. We knew no matter what that if Option A (having ceremony/dance outside) didn't work out due to weather, then we were perfectly fine with Option B which would be moving everything in doors because everywhere has great ambiance which put us at ease during the planning months. From day one they were so accommodating and truly let your visions come to life. They also were so organized and provided the best planning tools so you felt like you were always on track and they helped you think of all the little details it takes to hosting a wedding. I never felt stressed or overwhelmed when working with Rolling Ridge. All of our guests were blown away by the beauty of this venue and we can't recommend them enough to any future couples.

Reeds and Rushes is truly one of the best wedding venues out there! From our very first meeting to the big day, they were incredibly organized and a joy to work with. The venue itself had the perfect modern aesthetic we were looking for, and both the bridal and groom’s suites were outstanding. Our guests loved the patio space and it was wonderful having an area where they could relax by the fire, play games, and visit. The staff went above and beyond to bring our vision to life, and we couldn’t be more grateful! Choosing Reeds and Rushes was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions!
