5 Stars – The Best Decision We Made!
Choosing Milton Ridge for our wedding was the best decision we made—hands down! From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, beautiful, and full of joy. The team at Milton Ridge is incredibly professional, warm, and attentive. They thought of everything before I even had to ask.
The venue itself is stunning—the historic chapel, the reception space, the grounds—all picture-perfect. What also differentiated it was going the all-inclusive route. It took so much stress off my plate and allowed us to actually enjoy the planning process and the day itself. Every vendor they recommended was top-notch, and the coordination on the day of the wedding was flawless.
If you’re on the fence, go for it. Milton Ridge delivered an unforgettable day filled with love, laughter, and ease. I’m beyond grateful.

Amazing experience at Milton Ridge
Milton Ridge was everything we hoped for in a wedding venue—beautiful, organized, and above all, incredibly supportive and attentive to the small details. From our first inquiry to the final moments at our reception, the team (especially Meaghan and Catherine) went above and beyond to make sure every detail was just right. Their communication was responsive, thorough, and thoughtful—even when we had unique and challenging requests, such as minimizing waste and plastic for a more sustainable ceremony and serving a kosher dinner. They handled all of it with ease and never made us feel like we were asking too much. Meaghan was incredible, responding to long lists of questions with grace and clarity, updating documents promptly, and offering proactive suggestions we hadn’t even thought of. On our wedding day, we were able to truly relax and enjoy ourselves, knowing we could trust the team to handle everything behind the scenes. They took care of our many guests with very complex dietary restrictions, handled our custom drink requests, and the entire flow of the day was seamless. We held our ceremony and cocktail hour outdoors, and the setting was fantastic—elegant, natural, and just right for our spring celebration. The reception hall was a good size for our ~125 guests. After dinner, we pushed aside serving tables to open up the space for everyone to dance and it worked perfectly. It was a bit tight for everyone to do the Hora early in the night, but we made it work. We had so much fun, and a huge part of that was thanks to the professionalism and kindness of the Milton Ridge staff. We would absolutely recommend this venue—especially to busy couples who want a beautiful one-stop-shop with expert help every step of the way. Milton Ridge didn’t just host our wedding; they helped create an unforgettable, joyful experience.

Milton Ridge is fantastic!
We had such an amazing experience getting married at Milton Ridge. Their all inclusive packages really simplified wedding planning, and their amazing coordinators Catherine and Meaghan made sure every detail was just the way we wanted it. As soon as we arrived for our wedding, Catherine and Meaghan put us at ease by taking care of anything and everything we needed and kept our wedding day stress to a minimum. Many of our friends mentioned that their weddings were so stressful they didn't end up getting to enjoy their wedding - our experience was nothing like that!
I also would highly recommend using Milton Ridge's photography team - they knew all the best spots and angles to get beautiful photos, and they kept us at ease and comfortable through all the sessions. As a bonus, we got our photos back only 9 days after our big day.
The food at Milton Ridge is also fantastic. They have a huge menu of options to choose from and our guests were complimentary of everything we had selected.
We are so happy we chose Milton Ridge and highly recommend others do the same.

Wonderful all-inclusive venue!
We could not have been happier with our experience working with Milton Ridge to plan our May 2025 wedding. We selected them due to their all-inclusive wedding packages, hoping to minimize the stress on us in planning our wedding. They absolutely delivered, keeping things on track and ensuring all details were settled in a timely fashion. Communications within their team (we worked with two individuals, who were both present to assist on the wedding day) and between them and the vendors they provided were seamless, and they were highly flexible in adapting our initial package/contract to our tailored needs and final guest count. They also have the most transparent website pricing we came across in our venue search, starting the whole process off on a positive note. They are true professionals who know what they’re doing when it comes to weddings and events, with incredible attention to detail (and this comes from an extremely type-A couple). We loved every minute of working with them and could not recommend them more highly!

My daughter PERFECT wedding
My daughter and her husband chose Milton Ridge for their wedding venue. I live on the opposite coast so I had no opportunity to have a look myself. She and her husband were very happy with the layout of the property and the location. She assured me that staff were warm and friendly as well as very professional and that all questions were addressed promptly and in great detail. My daughter and her husband felt listened to and respected by everyone at Milton Ridge. I was anxious but it was their wedding and they had done a lot of research!
I am overjoyed that they chose Milton Ridge for their very special day!! I spoke to many guests and family members that day and evening; everyone had high praise for the couple’s choice of venue. The property is self-contained with a beautiful turn of the century chapel on the lower level of the property and a very large bricked patio on the upper level; with an enormous wooden gazebo at one end and tiered garden area at the opposite end. Indoor or outdoor wedding?? Hard to choose as both areas are sooooo lovely. The Bridal suite and Grooms quarter are in a building adjacent to the chapel on the lower level of the property. Another turn of the century building with Bridal suite, porch and porch swing on the ground level and the Grooms quarters on the 2nd level via a private enclosed stairway; providing total privacy for both parties and their respective entourages. Both areas were very well appointed, comfortable and large; plenty of room for multiple people in each area to get ready for the big day! The Reception Hall was on the upper level with a porch and short stairway leading from the hall to the outdoor patio. The Hall was fresh and bright with plenty of room for DJ, tables, dance floor, bar and buffet without feeling overfilled or crowded.
Bride and Groom chose the bar-b-que menu for their dinner; it was beautifully presented, delicious and plentiful. No one left Milton Ridge hungry that evening! The wait staff and bartenders were all very attentive and had obviously been very well trained at table service and bar service respectively.
Music was provided by a DJ who was contracted by Milton Ridge and was included with the package that my daughter and her husband had chosen. The selection was a mix of old and new with the focus of getting the guests up and dancing. He was very good at his job and he accomplished his goal!
Last but definitely not least; the photographer; also contracted with Milton Ridge! He was amazing!!! The unique shots, quality and beauty of his work left us speechless. He was everywhere, but never in the way, always inconspicuous and watching for that perfect candid shot. Even his posed photos had a very relaxed casual look about them. All photos were organized and available to the newlyweds on the Milton Ridge website within 10days of their wedding day!! ALL pictures belong to her and her husband to print, copy and share with whoever they wish!!
Milton Ridge exceeded my expectation and I would never hesitate to recommend them to anyone!!

Son and Daughter-in-Law's wedding
My son and daughter-in-law's wedding at Milton Ridge was simply fantastic! Meaghan and her crew were so accommodating and attentive (without being intrusive). The chapel and reception hall looked absolutely lovely. The food was delicious and the service fantastic. I heard so many compliments from the guests about every aspect of the evening.

Perfect Day
As soon as we arrived, we were so glad that we had chosen Milton Ridge and knew that we had made the right choice. All of the staff were very welcoming and helpful. They were with us through every step of our wedding day with lots of support and smiles.
The cottage for getting ready is very cute, the chapel is beautiful, and the reception hall is great as well.
They have many services included in their various wedding packages like catering, DJ, photographer, and cake. They also have outside vendors that they work with frequently, such as hair and make-up and a florist, who are all wonderful.
They are inclusive, and they are supportive of LGBT+ weddings. My now wife and I are part of the LGBT+ community, and we were treated very well by the entire team.
We were able to have our wedding exactly how we wanted, and they worked with us on every detail. On the day, they had the entire day scheduled and kept us on track, which is actually so necessary and helpful on a day when you're trying to do so many things. Everything went smoothly and as stress free as a wedding can be. It was truly a wonderful day.
Thank you so much to the whole team!

Milton Ridge is that venue that is tucked away and still is amazing. When you first arrive you will see a small chapel and two buildings. The chapel is very charming and if decorated right can really pop. The little home to your right is the bridal suit it is perfect place for the bridesmaids to get ready. Makes for some really amazing pictures. Up on the hill is the hall. Milton Ridge provides chairs (the really nice ones) as well as tables! They have perfect lighting and a great catering staff that can take care of your every need. This is a venue that is a great 1 stop shop!
Such a wonderful venue. Lots of great areas for photos!
I recommend the services of Milton Ridge to make your Wedding Day that very special day you always wanted,that will be remembered and cherished by you and all your guests for many years to come. ~~ Angela Neik, www.calligraphybyangela.com Dallas Calligrapher 214 957 2155
