George K. Married on 08/07/2021Beautiful Venue!
Ridgeland Mansion is a beautiful venue. We really wanted to have a wedding in Philly that incorporated nature and this is the perfect place to do it. The secret garden ceremony was so picturesque and the tent was the perfect space for everyone to dance. Jen did a great job keeping us in the loop and helping us plan leading up the the event (especially when we decided to postpone from 2020 to 2021). She killed it the day of and was on top of everything. Joshua’s Catering was amazing! The food choices were all so delicious which made it difficult to make final decisions! Everyone raved about the food, which as big foodies was also very important to us to have quality, local, sustainable food. I would highly recommend this venue. -

Ashley Z. Married on 10/10/2020Best Hidden Gem in Philly!!
I cannot recommend this venue enough. It was absolutely perfect. We loved the idea of an outdoor wedding near our neighborhood in Fairmount Park. We toured a few of the other nearby venues/mansions and but none of them were quite right. We knew the moment we saw it that Ridgeland was the one. The location is only a 10-15 min drive from center city yet tucked away like a magical enchanted forest. Jen and the entire Joshua's catering team we're amazing as well. We were originally set to get married 10/10/20 and Jen made postponing our reception (twice!) an absolute breeze. We were so grateful for how attentive and accommodating she was through the whole process after hearing horror stories from friends who postponed elsewhere. She took care of every last detail and exceeded our expectations with all of my crazy questions, requests and decor. We had a lot of moving parts and non-traditional touches and we never had to worry about a thing! On the day of the wedding the forecast was not great. Jen was quick to pivot and did everything she could to make sure we could still get married in the "secret garden" as planned. While we couldn't have cocktail hour outside, the rain plan in the tent worked perfectly for our guest count (about 115) and it all looked just as magical as we envisioned. Our families and friends are still raving that this was one of the best weddings they've ever been to. The food was really important to us and they completely blew us away with every dish. The servers were all amazing as well and on top of it all night! We loved having the catering/rentals/venue all bundled and it was very reasonably priced for what we got/location! We never felt like we were constantly being upsold or nickel and dimes with additions if we wanted to alter something either. It was absolutely beautiful in early October but honestly we visited all three seasons and it was lovely no matter what. 10/10 recommend!!-
