Absolutely unmatched

I have been coming to Eagle Ridge since I was little, so when it was time to choose a wedding venue it was a no brainer. The property is beautiful during all seasons, extremely well kept, and just created as an oasis of nature. On top of that, the team they have there is incredible! They were extremely accommodating, kind and always there if you needed something. The wedding coordinators they have on staff are all so generous, thoughtful, and efficient. Maggie was AMAZING!! Being the bride I was walked through the process of everything through the months of planning. She was always easy to get in touch with and I was checked on multiple times during the actual day of my wedding ready to help with absolutely anything. They make you feel important and seen all whilst bringing a sense of comfort and peace of mind to you because you know that you are taken care of. I would HIGHLY recommend Eagle Ridge Resort and Spa over and over again not only because of the location, but because of their amazing team.

Resort Vacation Wedding in the Midwest

Eagle Ridge is situated in a gorgeous natural location and offers top-notch service to make a wedding beautiful and fun. Maggie is a true professional and was helpful every step of the way leading up to the big day and managed the rehearsal and the day-of. We took her recommendations on our other vendors and we are happy we did so. It was really important having someone like Maggie who knew the area to be there for us and coordinate everything. The chef provided so many incredible options for the cocktail hour, reception meal and dessert that it was hard to choose. Thanks to Eagle Ridge our destination wedding made our guests really feel like they were on vacation and ensured they all had a wonderful weekend.

Thank You Eagle Ridge!

My husband and I got married at Eagle Ridge Resort in August 2022 and the entire weekend was incredible thanks to the team at Eagle Ridge Resort! I could not have been happier with how our day went and even the smallest details were taken care of. Maggie and the entire team was available and ready to help with anything we needed the entire weekend. Lucky for us, and because of their help throughout the entire planning process, everything went so smoothly! The food was delicious, the venue was beautiful, and our guests had a wonderful time. I cannot speak more highly of Eagle Ridge Resort and we look forward to coming back many more times!
