About

On WeddingWire since 2016

Located in Swisher, Iowa, Cedar Ridge Vineyards is a winery wedding venue. The estate is situated on a hilltop and is a short distance from Iowa City and Cedar Rapids. Here, couples and their guests can enjoy sweeping views of the vineyard and its gorgeous surroundings. This establishment began in 2005 when Jeff Quint, and ninth-generation farmer and fermenter, left accountancy. Returning to his roots, he and his wife Laurie opened Cedar Ridge. Since then, they have been the recipients of national and international acclaim.

Facilities and Capacity

Cedar Ridge Vineyards has a temperature-controlled event center that includes access to outdoor terraces and an expansive lawn. Inside, there is seating available for up to 200 guests.

I could not have asked for a better place to have my wedding and reception. My husband and I choose to have a Sunday wedding to keep costs within our budget, therefore, the price was very reasonable to have our wedding at such a memorable location. The setting is absolutely beautiful outside and inside, so it did not require much decorating at all! I received many wonderful comments from guests on how it was such a lovely venue and the food was delicious. The pizza and apps buffet was a hit! Having the venue provide there own catering made the process so much easier. I cannot thank Ashton enough for her help throughout the entire process, from communicating via email about concerns and opinions to helping on the wedding day with anything we may need. My husband and I will definitely be returning for wine and pizza to reminisce on our special day.

I’m so happy we chose to have our reception at Cedar Ridge!! All of the staff was amazing, we worked closest with Ashton and Chris who were beyond helpful. When the bridal party getting ready location fell through, Ashton went out of her way to ensure I had everything I needed to prepare for the day. She was always easy to get a hold of if we had any questions or concerns and made sure our day was perfect. The venue itself is gorgeous. We got married November 18th, 2017 and although it was cold, the vineyards still looked amazing. We utilized both buildings and it was perfect for our 165+ guests. The food was so delicious, everyone loved the parmesan au gratin potatoes but everything on the menu is a winner. So happy the law passed allowing cedar ridge to serve their own whisky, rum, etc. in addition to their amazing wine, there was something for everyone! I wish I had pictures to add but just got married this past Saturday so don’t have any of the venue yet!

I cannot say enough good things about how much we loved working with Cedar Ridge. We cannot say enough good things about Ashton. She was very quick to respond and always answered questions when we had them. The day of the wedding couldn't have gone any smoother.
