We had a full Weekend wedding at the Ridge.and booked all the rooms, villa and the airstream. From the moment we went to view this venue through to post event, Randy amd his staff have been amazing. The accommodations are top notch. I’ve never had a kitchen so well stocked for cooking and living as the Villa offers. We had a full day prior to the wedding to begin our decorating and event set up. Held a BBQ the night for 30 People and then had the best wedding g we could have asked for. The food here is beyond excellent and the everyone made sure all the guests special needs were accommodated. We cleaned up the next day with Randy and the staff being very helpful. I highly recommend this venue as a getaway destination wedding venue within Canada. It’s well priced for the level of service and quality of food and accommodations.

Such a pretty venue with staff that makes you feel like you’re one of the family. Randy and his staff hosted our wedding mid June and surprisingly what was supposed to be an outdoor wedding had to change when wind and torrential rain were in mother natures plans! They offered other options and seamlessly made the new plan happen and we had a lovely day regardless. We’ve enjoyed both a pop-up dinner as well as our own rehearsal and wedding meals provided by Xavier and his team and everyone is still saying it’s the best wedding food they have had and that no one could finish their generously sized meal but somehow wished there were seconds! Everything was perfectly orchestrated, with friendly helpful lovely people running a gem of a venue who could ask for more! And now they know they can host a small wedding reception and ceremony inside if they need to!! Thank you to everyone at The Ridge for helping make our day so memorable! Shannon & Evan

We had been wanting to try a pop-up dinner here for a while, finally made it! Service, food, location and the setting up on the hill was fabulous. We opted for the three course and it was more than enough. Xavier the chef chatted with us for a few mins before we headed out. This is stretching the boundaries of my entertainment budget, but this is truly a high-end meal experience. I hope we can come back one day!

Oct 2025 update. What a wonderful evening spent with good friends, excellent food, and great service. Love the pairing of wine with the food. The room can be a bit noisy. Something to damp in the noise would be good. Overall, an excellent evening. Previous review New Year’s Eve. The evening was lovely, the ambience in the room was wonderful, and the service excellent! My favorite dishes were the squash and chestnut soup as well as the Bloody Mary shrimp. The bison was very good, but the monkfish was a bit chewy and fishy for my taste. A wonderful way to spend a New Year’s Eve.

I had my wedding here Aug 2025. The service was great! Randy (owner) was there every set of the way to help make sure the weekend was easy for us and set up. Chef Xavier Made a fantastic menu! People couldn't stop taking about how good the food was. The staff had everything set up the day of the wedding and packed up nicely the following morning which was amazing since no one wanted to clean the next day. This place is beyond beautiful, from the grounds, to the rooms, to the outdoor seating area with the green house and water fountains. It was the perfect wedding weekend!
