Stonebridge Manor by Wedgewood Weddings was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the moment we first spoke with Christy, she was attentive, prompt, and extremely helpful in guiding us through the planning process. Our wedding day was an absolute dream, thanks to Christy and the entire team! They made our experience completely stress-free and exceeded all of our expectations. We can't recommend Stonebridge Manor enough to any couple looking for a beautiful, well-run venue with exceptional service.

I love photographing at Regency Garden. Tony, Linda, and the staff are professional and so easy to work with. Intimate and full service at the same time.

If anyone is looking at having their wedding at a Wedgewood property, my husband and I would highly recommend it. 100/10 would recommend the Secret Garden location as the team we worked with was fabulous from start to finish. Beginning with just our tour of the venue, we had Huntyr who was so sweet and so helpful. She showed us the flow of things and helped us to envision ourselves getting married there. We knew the day we did the tour, that was our venue. From there, they helped us with planning the entire thing... We received a booklet that guided us through all our steps, when to meet with vendors, etc. Their recommended vendors // the vendors that were included in the Elite package were so excellent to work with!! (Janice at Blooming Bouquets and the team over at Piece of Cake -- wonderful!!). A few months out from the wedding, we were scheduled to have a big dinner / tasting with other couples getting married at the venue so it was fun chatting with the people around us all planning their weddings for around the same time ours would be happening. We got to see the setting / atmosphere of what the Hors-d'œuvres, cocktail hour, and dinner foods would be like.... It made it very easy for us to select all foods for the day of, as well as meet other vendors (hair/makeup, DJ, videographers, photographers, etc.). Wedgewood made planning the wedding a simplified task. We had our rehearsal the day before the wedding where our wedding coordinator had everything down (blessed to have Huntyr for our day! was a wish come true). She had everything down - showed everyone what they should be doing and where. I had a checklist prepared of points I wanted to cover and didn't even have to pull it out because our coordinator had hit every bullet I had noted without me even telling her a single bullet I had down. The day of the wedding was perfect ... the team over at Wedgewood had our suites organized and had champagne prepared for the ladies and beers for the boys in their suite too. Our coordinator alongside her support team ensured everything was set up for us and that we could just relax and enjoy the day / getting ready / and celebrating in general with our favorite people...... I woke up the morning of and told myself that if anything were to go wrong, that it was out of my control and to let it go..... but I literally cannot even explain how PERFECT our day was. Everything stayed on schedule, decor was set up beautifully, and the Wedgewood staff were there to assist with ANY needs along the way. The food was delicious, the staff for the event was so friendly and eager to help / ensure our day was magical. Overall, from start to finish, the team there made things easy, fun, and ensured our day was the BEST DAY EVER. Again - for anyone getting married, I would encourage you to look at Wedgewood properties, although their property, Secret Garden, forever holds that special place in my heart and would be my overall pick!

We used Maple & Rye to cater our wedding a few weeks ago. Rhiannon and the Maple & Rye team were so great to work with and were able to accommodate all our requests, even the last minute ones. They were able to cater Beef Filet buffet style which can be hard to make in advance but it turned out wonderful and the chef even stopped by to check to make sure everything was good before it was served. All the food was spectacular and all our guests keep mentioning how amazing the food and drinks were. Overall we had a wonderful wedding day and everything went smoothly. Thank you so much, Rhiannon!

From the moment we started planning with An Old Town Wedding And Event Center, we knew we'd made the right choice. Lauren, our wedding coordinator, was incredible—she stayed on top of every detail and kept us in the loop every step of the way. When we needed to make last-minute changes to our seating chart, she responded to our texts right away and handled everything perfectly. The space itself is gorgeous and roomy, giving us plenty of options for how we wanted to set things up. Lauren and the team made our day flow so smoothly, and they genuinely wanted to help us enjoy the experience instead of stress about it. We felt taken care of the entire time, and honestly couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to work with.
