Newly Married

We chose to get married at Ridgemont Country Club for several reasons. Everything was equally as amazing, so, in no particular order...

The food was incredible, the cocktail hour food went over really well and the bacon wrapped scallops are amazing. When we went into eat, bread and salads were available with 2 dressings (so helpful!). We added in a custom pasta dish between salad and dinner at minimal cost (and people still talk about it!). Dinner was promptly served hot and fresh and not straight from a warmer. No one had to eat alone, timing was just right. You even get to try multiple dishes prior to make a decision and it was more than enough food!

The bartenders did an amazing job of tending to all our guests in a timely fashion and getting them what they needed. If something wasn't available that we wanted, we were able to pay a small upcharge for it.

The staff is really amazing! All the servers were very attentive and accommodating. Jennifer Jones was exceptional from the start, she always stayed in touch and met with us if we ever had any questions. She made sure that my evening was as seamless as possible, from staying on time, to getting me drinks, to making sure I had cake to take home!

The venue is absolutely beautiful. If you're lucky enough to get a nice day in Rochester, the pictures you can capture outside are really beautiful. My wedding was initially scheduled for outside but due to cold and wind, we moved it inside and they were able to accommodate it no problem.

The bridal suite was very accommodating. I was able to get multiple hairstyles done, have food and drink service and get ready very comfortably.

And the grand answer of them all...it won't break the bank! My parents were convinced we would book somewhere else but after meeting with Jennifer and seeing prices, we realized how absolutely reasonable Ridgemont Country Club is in their pricing. Based on what you get from food to drinks to hospitality, it's worth every penny.

If I had to do this all over again, I would once again have my wedding at Ridgemont.

The ONLY place i would trust

It was such a pleasure to work with Jen and the entire staff. The were SO SO helpful and understanding. Its like any idea i had and (of course last minute things happen) they were there to make them happen. This place was so beautiful to begin with, and although mother nature has a mind of her own, and it DOWN-POURED as soon as the ceremony was to begin, they did an OUTSTANDING job at carrying the stuff inside and setting it up. I would truly recommend this place to anyone and i'm keeping an eye on it for myself too ;)
Being a florist and wedding planner myself, i was very pleased and amazed at how smoothly and professionally the before/during/after parts of the wedding turned out.

P.s- If you want your wedding to be BOMB, and as less stressful as possible, go to JEN, i will promise you, you will be writing a review too :)

Ridgemont is amazing!

We could not thank Jen & the rest of the staff @ ridgemont for the amazing job they did at our wedding! Very attentive, the room was set up just like I wanted everything in place! Every 10 mins my drink was filled and we were asked what we needed! Simply a day to remember!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
