The best day

We had such an amazing experience with Kestrel Ridge and absolutely recommend it to anyone planning a wedding. From the very beginning, Nickie and Kristina were wonderful to work with. They were so helpful, organized, and always made us feel supported throughout the planning process. Having them there made everything feel so much less stressful.
On the day of the wedding, the staff was incredible. So many of our guests complimented how friendly and attentive everyone was. And the food was a huge hit! Chef Tori and her team in the kitchen did a fantastic job with the hors d’oeuvres and the meal. We heard over and over from our guests about how delicious everything was, which meant so much to us.
Our day felt so smooth and special, and we’re incredibly grateful to the entire team for helping make our wedding everything we hoped it would be. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Wedding Day 8/27/2022

My husband and I were married here on 8/27/22. Everything leading up to the wedding was amazing: Nickie is extremely personable, communicative, and on top of it. She made us feel at ease from the very first day we booked the venue, because we knew we could trust her. It conveniently rained the one hour we were supposed to have our ceremony, moving us unexpectedly inside: while it was disappointing we couldn't enjoy the gorgeous outdoor space, the indoor ceremony all came together without a hitch. Our guests had a BLAST and loved the beauty of the venue and the amazing food. I fully recommend that other couples get married at Kestrel Ridge!

Prefect, stress-free experience!

My husband and I got married here on 9/10/22 and would definitely recommend it! The outdoor ceremony space is beautiful and the reception area has a large bar and patio attached to it. Everything was included with the space (tables, chairs, linens, etc) so we didn’t need to worry about renting anything. Nickie is the day of coordinator and was amazing to work with. Great communication and made it as stress free as possible! The entire staff the day of were very helpful and friendly. They helped set everything up and took it all down for us to pick up the next day so we didn’t have to worry about anything the day of. And the food was amazing!! We received so many compliments on it (some even said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had). I never had a doubt that my wedding day would be perfect thanks to this venue and the staff.

Wedding bride

Nickie and her staff were amazing. They made sure things were the way my husband and I wanted them for our wedding. They got the ceremony spaced dried out and we were able to have our ceremony outside before it rained again.

Get married here!

We had our wedding here on 7/30/22. We loved everything about our day! Nickie was so accommodating and really helped relieve stress off this bride!!! We toured and we’re back within the week to book because we knew it was perfect for us! We were engaged & married in 9 months and everyone was so helpful with our timeline. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we knew exactly what was going on during the day & had everything ready for us. They packed everything for us to pick up sometime within the following few days but there was never any rush to get out! The place is gorgeous so there’s no need to go crazy on decor! If we had to do it all again, we’d choose kestrel ridge over and over!!

Kestrel Ridge Wedding

My husband and I got married here. It was absolutely beautiful! Nickie was amazing to work with, making sure things were done at the right time and walking us through the craziness of planning a wedding. The food was amazing, both rehearsal and reception dinner! Bartenders were fun and did really well working with the guests! We are so glad we chose Kestrel Ridge for our special day.

Overall Amazing!

Nickie and the entire staff at Kestrel were amazing! Our initial venue went bankrupt and then COVID hit... Nickie was there throughout the entire time and I could truly trust her to take care of the day so I could enjoy myself. She was always available and so flexible with everything. The outdoor space was perfect for photos, our guests RAVED about the food, and it was just a perfect day! Couldn't have asked for anything different. Thank you Kestrel Ridge and Nickie!

Fantastic Team and Beautiful Venue

Nickie and her team were INCREDIBLE at Kestrel Ridge. Our day went so smoothly, and we were so happy we chose to have our wedding there. She was not only there all day on wedding day, but she was also there to help coordinate the rehearsal dinner that we chose to hold at Kestrel Ridge, which I found very helpful. I was also very relieved that the Kestrel Ridge team did cleanup on our wedding night. It was so nice that we and our families could just enjoy the night without worrying about that coming at the end of the night! I highly recommend this venue!!!

My husband and I got married at Kestrel Ridge Golf Club on 8/18/18. We got engaged late in 2017 at many of the venues were already booked for 2018, I was surprised to find that Kestrel Ridge had many open dates and that their prices were much more reasonable than the other places that we were looking at. The building doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside is beautiful, its a vintage feel with beautiful chandeliers. Lori, the manager was very nice and easy to work with, she answered questions promptly and if she didn't know an answer she researched and got back to me quickly. There was quite a bit of rain in the days leading up to our wedding, but Lori was in communication with us and assured us on how everything would be handled. Due to the rain they had to set everything up on the day of the wedding, but the staff was very helpful and set up quickly; everything went perfectly and nobody knew that things we're set up as originally planned. Our wedding was roughly 175 people, the venue can accommodate 250 for dinner. I was surprised at how fast just a few people were able to serve dinner, and everyone told me how wonderful the meal was. We had a few people with food allergies and they were able to accommodate those with ease. I can not express how wonderful it was to work with this venue, they were very flexible and accommodating. Our wedding was perfect!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
