Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa

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.

As wedding caterers ourselves it was hard trying to find a venue that had everything we wanted. Eagle ridge has everything we wanted and much more!

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.

We got married at Eagle Ridge on 6/17/23 (Hot air balloon weekend) and had the absolute best experience. We hosted 240 people comfortably and every single one of our guests raved about how it was one of the best weddings ever. We got married on Point Patio and had our dinner reception in their ballroom. The photos speak for themselves. Just spectacular service and accommodations from Eagle Ridge (specifically Maggie wedding coordinator). 10/10 stars.

We had our wedding weekend at Eagle Ridge and it was absolutely perfect! Thank you to Alisha who was our main contact from the beginning, she was wonderful to work with from beginning to end.

Alisha, Maggie and Sarah on the wedding team made our weekend such a success and were there for anything we needed from the moment we arrived until the time we checked out.

The Woodland's Restaurant & Bar team were great, our family and friends kept them busy from Friday - Sunday and received great service throughout the entire weekend.

The Front Desk team + shuttle service team made all of our guest experience seamless and enjoyable .

Thank you to everyone at Eagle Ridge for the best wedding weekend!

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!

We are so happy with our decision to have had our wedding at Eagle Ridge in September 2022. Maggie and the team made the entire process seamless, from the first step of inquiring about availability through the wedding day. Maggie and Sarah were so friendly, helpful, and responsive and made what can be a stressful time so much easier for us. They provided helpful resources throughout the process such as vendor recommendations and suggested timelines and were available to answer questions when needed.

The venue itself is great and easily accommodated our wedding of 160ish people (with room for more). We had our ceremony on the Point Patio (highly recommend based upon the season) and then our reception in the Eagle Ballroom. The food through Eagle Ridge was fantastic, as was the cake and desserts, and it was nice to have the catering onsite as it's convenient and one less vendor you need to find.

We also did our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks/appetizers the night before at The Highlands within the Eagle Ridge territory and Maggie and team did a great job coordinating and making sure we had everything we needed.

As far as accommodations, Eagle Ridge has many options for including onsite hotel rooms and rental houses, and renting a house for the bridal party was a great way to spend more time with everyone before the wedding.

We are based out of Chicago and it was not too long of a trip for anyone local, and there are airports not too far for those coming from out of town. Our friends and family really enjoyed both the venue and their time in Galena. Thanks again Maggie & team for making our day so special!

As soon as we stepped foot in to Eagle Ridge Resort, we knew this was our venue. Everything about the space (both inside & out) is breathtaking. The space is naturally beautiful & we loved the beautiful views.

Working with Alisha was so easy! She was quick to respond, patient with my many questions, & went above & beyond to make our wedding day the most perfect day. She truly put me at ease throughout the entire wedding process, but especially during the wedding. I knew I didn't need to worry about any of the details on our big day, because Alisha had it handled.

Every staff member that we encountered was professional & courteous. We are so thankful to have a great location to revisit for our anniversary in the future.

Thank you Eagle Ridge for making our wedding day our new best day ever!

Maggie and her team made our wedding day magical. We were impressed by the ease of communication and attention to detail during the planning process. On our wedding day, Maggie and her team coordinated everything including the deliveries, and room setup, and kept us on schedule. We felt incredibly supported and were able to enjoy every minute of the wedding weekend thanks to Maggie and her team.

Maggie and the entire Eagle Ridge team are absolutely AMAZING! We had such a wonderful experience from start to finish and would recommend getting married at Eagle Ridge time and time again. Maggie worked with us for 18 months in helping to plan our perfect day. She was so kind and so responsive throughout the entire planning process and was always a calm and steady presence. She had great ideas of her own due to her many years of experience but was also willing to hear our ideas and helped make them possible/come to life. On the big day, Maggie, Sarah, and Alisha were all so present and so helpful - making sure everything was running smoothly and was going as it should. They were all so wonderful to work with!

The food at the wedding was DELICIOUS! The hor'dourves during cocktail hour were great and the spread at the dinner was absolutely incredible. We did the “stations” option and have heard from MANY of our guests that it was “the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding and beyond.” Our little desserts + cake (from Carolyn!) were also delicious and everyone loved the variety and options they were able to choose from!

We also had the Stonedrift Spa team do the bridal party hair and makeup - they were awesome and the hair and makeup held out all day. Abbi was great to work with to help with day-of logistics and the hair/makeup schedule, Ashley was so kind and wonderful to work with while doing our hair and made our visions come to life (I don’t know how she does it!), and Madison was fun and so kind - it was impossible to not be laughing and enjoying yourself while she was doing our makeup. They were so incredible and did our makeup/hair right onsite, which made it so easy when it was time to get ready! (We also enjoyed a couples massage at the Spa the day after the wedding - Jennifer and Todd were fabulous!)

The Eagle Ridge Reservations team was also great to work with, making sure we had the right lodging and accommodations for our guests. The hotel and villas/rental properties were perfect for our guests and the shuttle made it easy for folks to get around! The whole hotel staff and team were so kind and welcoming to our guests.

Mike helped coordinate a golf outing that was perfect for the groomsmen + family/friends in town on Friday and was so flexible when we needed to increase our group size. The group had a great time and it was definitely a highlight of the weekend!

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to get married at Eagle Ridge. The Galena Territory has always been so special to our family, but it is even more special now. The location was stunning (Point Patio deck for the wedding and the Ballroom for the reception), but it was the Eagle Ridge team and their hard work and kindness that truly made this the most special day. Thank you Maggie and team for everything! We can’t wait to come back to visit.
