Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I just got married at The Refuge a few weeks ago, and we could not have asked for a more perfect wedding venue! Our entire weekend from the rehearsal dinner, getting ready in the bridal suite, the ceremony, dinner, and the reception was absolutely amazing. The venue, wedding ceremony location, bridal suite, and banquet area are all incredibly beautiful. The breakfast and lunch we had in the bridal suite getting ready, and the dinner during our reception was phenomenal. We served oven roasted chicken and fresh salmon, our guests are still talking about how great the food was! Our wedding was everything we could have dreamed of and more, and we cannot thank our wedding coordinator, Lisa, and the rest of the Refuge staff for making our wedding the best weekend of our entire lives! If we could do it all over again, we would absolutely choose The Refuge!!! 10/10!

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.
