I LOVED working with Rachel at Ridgewells. She is professional, accommodating, warm, creative, and knows how to execute your evening perfectly! The food was amazing, we had a filet, a chicken breast and a veggie option (which was rissotto) our guests indicated which meal choice they wanted before the wedding and we submitted the numbers to Rachel. We didn't want a traditional "wedding cake" so Rachel worked with me to create a cake "buffet" with 3 different flavors, I think all of the cake was GONE by the end of the night! She was also VERY open to suggestions/ideas and any dietary restrictions our guests had. We created our own hor dourve for the cocktail hour and wanted a root beer float station and she made that all happen flawlessly! She brought my husband and I food and drinks and was constantly watching over the tables to make sure they had what they needed. Her staff was also very professional, and on top of things! If we ever have to cater another event, I know who I am calling! :)

We had a very good experience with Ridgewells. Our event coordinator, Rachel, was excellent. She listened to what we wanted, patiently answered all of our questions and had excellent suggestions for our event. We had a small reception in our church's courtyard with about 50 guests, but I felt like Rachel still treated our event with a lot of care. I guess Ridgewells typically holds tastings a few times a year, but did not hold one before our wedding so Rachel scheduled one just for us. The food was all really good (we had passed hors d'oeuvres and some light foods - 4 kinds of mini-sandwiches, fruit salad, hummus and dips and a cheese display) and the cake was fantastic. All of the serving staff did a great job as well.

Ridgewells was absolutely fantastic! We worked with Rachel Gittens, she's great. We had met with another catering company before talking with Rachel (we had a limited list of allowed caterers at our venue, Woodend), but Rachel - and Ridgewells -was much more professional and really listened to what we wanted.
The food was excellent, and the service was impeccable. They made sure we always had something to eat, which my husband was very concerned about. :) We brought our own cake and even a chocolate fountain, and did a great job at dealing with the other vendors.
I'd recommend them to anyone!!

Ridgewells did a fantastic job. I worked with Polly and her assistant Bahar. In late March (3/08), we attended a group tasting that was specifically designed for spring/summer weddings. The food was amazing!! We made a couple of selections at the tasting, and we also saw a few table displays that helped us choose our linens, etc.
On the wedding day, Ridgewells was absolutely terrific. Polly and Bahar made sure that the tables were set-up exactly as I wanted - Polly brought everything to the venue herself (cake knife, flutes, guest book, place cards, menus, favors). This was very helpful since I didn't hire a wedding planner or day-of coordinator. Throughout the night, the staff was very friendly and gave our guests excellent service. Ridgewells also provided our wedding cake (it was just like the picture I showed them), and they took care of all the beverages, including an open bar (they have the required liquor license). My husband and I had a waiter serving us all night - we never had an empty glass.
In summary, Ridgewells accommodated all of my requests, and they did an excellent job. I'm really glad I chose them!

Our cake was AMAZING! We are very decisive, so the rest of the wedding planning was easy, but we couldn't decide on a cake. Then we went to a tasting at Ridgewells and tried the Coconut Cheesecake. It was over. It is a layer of white cake, a layer of coconut cream, and then a layer of coconut cheesecake covered in white (real) buttercream. Not a single person at our wedding skipped the cake. We didn't have it decorated super fancy, just basic swiss dot, but it was still so beautifully done. While it was expensive, it was so worth it. I would recommend Ridgewells cakes and pastries to anyone looking for plain old delicious.

Caterer: Ridgewell's. Contact - Christina Baxter. Awesome. Ridgewells is a class act. We attended several tastings on the ToTT approved caterer list and Ridgewells was far and away the best. Fortunately the pricing came in very competitively as well and we were able to go with them. Christina was very helpful and creative and really worked with us to get exactly what we wanted. We had a cocktail reception with heavy passed hors d?oeuvres and stations. We planned the food around our heritages and places we've lived and it was a huge hit. The service was also impeccable, the staff was so professional and I felt like everything was under control the whole time - even through a fairly complicated post-ceremony room transition. It all went beautifully and the food was SO good. People are still talking about it and my only complaint is that there were hardly any leftovers at the end of the night! Grade: A+++++
Cake: Ridgewells. We decided to have Ridgewells do our cake also. It may have been a little more pricey than other places, but the convenience was worth it and the cake was unbelievable. For the flavors, I emailed Christina a list of flavors we were intrigued by and then we had a meeting and she showed up with three HUGE cakes with the Baker's rendition of our ideas. I brought them into my office for a tasting and people loved them! We ended up going with Dark Chocolate with Peanut Butter Mousse and Napoleon (White Chocolate and Chocolate cake with strawberry rum custard). The actual cake was enormous and looked exactly like the photo I provided (in by bio). I seriously gasped when I saw how big the cake was. I'm pretty sure we won't make it a year before eating the layer in our freezer! Grade: A+
