The crème de la crème

I have now worked with Ruth twice since I used her for 2 of my kids bar mitzvahs. I wish I had known about her for my other three boys bar mitzvahs years ago because what a different experience it was. Ruth is one of a kind. If you are looking for top notch design and execution of that design, then look no further. Her design skills and production team are unmatched by anyone I’ve come across. From beginning to end she exudes a professionalism that is truly unrivaled. She took the time to really listen to us and what we had in mind and then followed up presenting us with her ideas and design vision. Wow! Seeing it in person at our event , our guests were so impressed. She exceeded our expectations yet again as she transformed a really drab room into a beautiful space. It was no easy task but if anyone can do it Ruth can. Lots of oohs and aaah’s as our guests entered the space after cocktails. . Her team runs seamlessly and knowing Ruth was at the helm took a tremendous amount of stress off of me. I never had to worry about any detail of the design. She was always so reassuring throughout the entire process and was always available to answer my questions. Any event I do will always be with Ruth. You simply cannot get better than her. I will post pictures once I have them back from my photographer. I couldn’t wait to share my excitement from last nights event with anyone who is looking for something truly spectacular.

An Absolute Dream 🌸

The wedding industry is a competitive one; there are countless florists that can create the most beautiful arrangements for you, but it’s another thing to be a true, event designer, like that of Ruth Ridgeway. From my very first engagement with Ruth, she was an absolute dream to work with; Her guidance, attention to detail, emotional support (!!), etc. I had a specific vision in mind for my wedding day, but found myself struggling to articulate what exactly it was that I wanted. Ruth, however, was able to absorb all that I shared, and executed every little detail to perfection. I had all the confidence in her, and still, I was & still am so blown away by all of her work .. as is my husband who didn’t care for an ounce of florals. 😅

Look no further than Ruth Ridgeway Designs for your wedding day, or even another big bash that you are planning. She is everything you can ask for in a designer & more, and I am so so thrilled that I was lucky enough to come across her work on Instagram & have the opportunity to partner with her for me & my now husband’s big day.

Ruth Ridgeway Designs is an 11/10

I cannot put into words how beautiful Ruth and her team made our wedding weekend. Responsible for florals/decor for all wedding events, she blew our minds with what she came up with and pushed the boundaries of what we had thought possible for our budget. Over a month later guests are still telling us how incredible everything was. Her and her team were so supportive, responsive, and creative throughout the entire process. I have zero hesitation recommending Ruth for any event!

Most awesome flowers and artist ever!

Ruth’s work was absolutely gorgeous! She exceeded all of our expectations. Every single arrangement and bouquet was breathtaking! We would highly recommend Ruth Ridgeway Designs to anyone! We were not from the area and we never saw her work in person so hiring her was a leap of faith that did not disappoint! She was very accommodating. Thank you Ruth for making our dream come to life.

Ruth is the best ever!!

I truly do not even know where to begin with this review. My wife and I had initially booked a small dinner style wedding which wound up getting cancelled due to COVID. We pushed the wedding back by a year and a half and changed the venue completely to the New York Botanical Garden. I knew we needed a lot of beautiful florals and lighting, so I started searching for the perfect company. I was blown away by Ruth's work online and on instagram. I reached out to her and she was so helpful and gave me lots of options and ideas right away. We booked her for all of our florals inside the room and also all of the florals and lighting for the outside ceremony.

Through the planning process, I was always adding additional things (and changing things too), and Ruth always helped me right away. She definitely saw my vision and I truly trusted hers.

To say that our wedding came out perfectly is an understatement. People to this day are still talking about the pergola she built for us for our sweetheart table. The people at the venue never saw any florals like what Ruth and her team put together. The pergola was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. We had floating candles and lights and tons of rustic pots and flowers surrounding us- it was truly magical. The table arrangements were so full and lush and looked incredible. There were candles everywhere. It was the most romantic and beautiful wedding ever. I talked with Ruth about what kind of bouquet I wanted and gave her some ideas based on past weddings she did, and the bouquet came out absolutely perfect. It was everything I imagined.

Moving to the outdoors, we were blown away with the floral arch, all the lanterns, and the incredible string lighting all above the ceremony. It was absolutely amazing. Ruth did uplighting all over the building also. It was straight out of a fairytale.

I can't say enough amazing things about Ruth and her team. When we got there at 3pm we had not eaten and our venue had no food ready for us. Ruth had a huge platter of sandwiches and brought them to the suite for us. It was the only thing we ate all day/night! Ruth also kept me calm about the weather. The forecast was indicating a 70% chance of rain at the time of our ceremony, but Ruth kept checking the weather and told us to keep it outside. I was so nervous about the rain because if it did start pouring the entire set up outside would basically not be used. It would have been too late to move everything after they started. I am SO glad I listened to Ruth because the weather held out! We had the most beautiful and perfect ceremony and outdoor cocktail hour ever. My guests to this day are talking about our florals and lighting. Ruth and her team are the best of the best and our wedding would not have been what it was without her vision and expertise.

Spectacular!

As mother of the bride I wanted everything to be perfect for my daughter and son-in-law to be. Ruth truly hit it out of the park! The floral arrangements were spectacular as were the decorations she did in our tent and the seating arrangements she added to our decor. Her suggestions on everything were very helpful and contributed to making the wedding truly extraordinary. Looking back I would not change a detail of anything Ruth did-it was perfection. She was also a pleasure to work with- fun and professional. I would hire Ruth for any event you want to be extra special.

Absolutely FABULOUS floral and decor!

Ruth and her team were absolutely fantastic from start to finish! When we were planning our wedding, we had phone calls, Zoom meetings and in person meetings to nail down all of the details and make our floral and decor dreams become a reality. Ruth always had photos of past work to share with us to provide inspiration and to get a true sense of what we liked and didn’t like. Ruth is an absolute perfectionist and made sure no detail was left behind. Not only was Ruth’s floral and decor work incredible, but she is now considered a friend to us and we cannot wait to work with her again for a future event! We cannot recommend Ruth and her team enough!!

Daughter's Wedding

Ruth Ridgeway Designs...an experience that fulfilled our every expectation. We hired Ruth Ridgeway Designs for my daughter's wedding. Not only for Ruth's gorgeous floral arrangements but her creative designs with event design, event lighting, and table arrangements and accessories. We never once had to worry about anything!! Ruth was there every step of the way--from our initial consultation where Ruth listened and gathered my daughter's dreams and ideas to the outcome where my daughter's vision came through to pure perfection. Ruth's designs are gorgeous; she is exceptionally talented, and her love of her work shines through in her designs. I highly recommend Ruth Ridgeway Designs.
Thank you, Ruth, for fulfilling my daughter's dreams on her special day! Our guests are still ranting and raving about your beautiful florals and designs.

Truly Amazing!

In two words, absolutely amazing! From the start, Ruth was there to support me in my design needs. She was there every step of the way and was easy to get ahold of when I needed her. With planning all the other aspects of the wedding myself, it was nice to know that I had Ruth and her team to take care of everything from place cards to napkin folds on the day of. I had nothing to worry about! I was amazed when I walked into my wedding venue and saw the florals and the room all decorated, it was truly everything I had imagined!

The BEST floral and decor in the Northeast!

We truly cannot recommend Ruth Ridgeway Designs enough for the incredible floral and decor of our dreams! Since the beginning of our planning journey with Ruth, she was thorough and flexible through many changes due to the pandemic. She listened to our vision and used her expertise to create a wedding look that exceeded our expectations. Ruth and her team are extremely well organized and their process of set-up and breakdown is incredibly smooth. My husband and I, as well as our guests were blown away by the florals. It is truly the aspect of our wedding that everyone continues to talk about. From the gorgeous floral draped arch to the amazing escort card wall and our stunning sweat heart table, every piece was carefully thought out to create the look perfect for us. Ruth was more than just a vendor on our day, she was a caring friend. The moment she delivered my bridal bouquet to the bridal suite is one I will always remember. She truly cares for her bride and grooms. If you’re looking for a passionate, organized and experienced florist and event designer, look no further. Ruth, thank you for going above and beyond to create our dream wedding! The best decision we made during our engagement was choosing Ruth Ridgeway Designs.

Amazing ruth!

Do not walk, RUN to book Ruth for your event! My husband and I had to reschedule our wedding four times due to COVID-19 and ended up switching venues within 3 months of the big day! Ruth met me at the new venue, and we completely re-did the entire design for the wedding. Not only is she professional and personable, but Ruth is also one of the most talented individuals I have ever met. I can say with complete confidence that my wedding would NOT have been as magical if it was not for Ruth and her team. My guests and vendors were RAVING about our florals and design. Our wedding truly looked like it belonged in a magazine and it is all because of her.

When we walked into our venue on our wedding day I was absolutely in awe

From our first meeting to our wedding day Ruth was not just a florist but a friend. She welcomed us with enchanting ideas about what our wedding could look like. As the world changed, and so did our wedding plans, including postponing 9 months because of COIVD, budget changes and having a indecisive bride, Ruth remained calm, supportive and always positive.

When we walked into our venue on our wedding day I was absolutely in awe at the beauty that surrounded us. Ruth created a space that I could never have envisioned or thought we could have for our wedding. She took the dream that I pictured and made it real and without hesitation she added her own touches to take the event over the top. We even had seating changes due to COVID restrictions and could no longer have the kings table that we planned. Ruth created such a beautiful sweetheart table for us (and I am not a fan of sweetheart tables) it was absolutely stunning.

Ruth and her team are the best of the best. Not only because of the wonderful work that they create, but also because they truly make you feel special and part of the Ruth Ridgeway Designs family. Thank you Ruth!

Ruth is amazing !!

Ruth Ridgeway designs was referred to me by my awesome planner louis Avanti from AMG events. He told me Ruth is the best and he was absolutely right. Ruth literally made my wedding the most gorgeous floral affair I’ve ever seen in my life. I met with Ruth many times since my wedding was postponed due to corona virus. Over the 3 calendar years it took to make my wedding happen - Ruth was beyond patient. She listened to every single detail we discussed together, reviewed my vision pictures and told me she will make my dreams come true. I was in absolute awe by Ruth’s Incredible work on my wedding day. The chuppah was beyond anything I could have dreamt of it was so surreal and stunning and everything I wanted and more. She designed the entire wedding and all the florals,centerpieces , escort table ,chuppah, table lines, lotus fold napkins candles etc. all were simply divine elegant classy and again everything I told her I wanted. She went above and beyond to make my wedding stunning. All my guests can’t stop raving about Ruth’s amazing work and talent. Ruth is a gem & I am so lucky to have had her design my dream wedding

Ruth Ridgeway Is one of the best in the business. I have been to a ton of affairs and can honestly say, I have yet to see anyone design a room as beautiful as she does. From room decor and lighting to centerpieces and tablescapes, she does it all and does it well!! We have used her for several affairs of our own and highly recommend her. She and her staff are professional, reliable and they get the job done no matter what.

No one better than ruth ridgeway!

There aren't enough adjectives or superlatives to describe Ruth Ridgeway events. Every single detail -- small and large -- are given the utmost attention, so you and your guests are dazzled and delighted. Ruth's events are magical at every price point; you won't ever be disappointed. Before Ruth had even finished my son's event (11/3/18), I hired her to work on an equally-spectacular event for my daughter (1/25/20). Ruth Ridgeway is the ONLY person I would ever use. Peace of mind is everything.

Stress-free and Stunning End Results

Ruth Ridgeway Designs made our June wedding reception an absolute fairy tale....would recommend over and over again. When choosing venues, I was nervous about our selection....the room we went with was a little masculine, a little dated, and a little too rustic for my particular tastes. Ruth listened to us and was there every step of the process, and come the big day I didn't even recognize the same room I had walked through less than a week ago - the decor, the drapings, the flowers, everything was done exactly to our taste and guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful and unexpected the table settings were. The process was stress-free and fun and the end result was stunning!

True Visionary

Ruth is a true visionary that will take you from initial concept through execution beautifully and stress free. Her quality, creativity and knowledge is unmatchable in this industry. I was a nonconventional bride who knew I wanted something unique and she patiently guided me through each step, while providing me with creative vision simultaneously. She is not a cookie cutter florist who just treats your wedding like another job in the factory, and truly treats your special day with a personalized, professional approach. If you chose to work with Ruth, not only will your event design and decor dream become a reality, but you will also have trust and confidence in who you chose throughout the process and have one less aspect to stress about. She pays attention to every detail and therefore the full effect and energy you wish you have is carried throughout your event. I couldn't recommend Ruth more as she was truly a blessing on my day and made my wedding one to remember.

Dreams come true... and more!

Ruth and her team created a wedding that we could only dream of. With ever whim, will, and desire, Ruth never no. If things weren't possible, she instead provided creative ideas and solutions that brought us closer to what we were looking for (and ended up ultimately being what we wanted). Throughout the meetings and rapid prototyping, I realized that Ruth "walks the walk". On the day of, the custom props, decorations, and backdrops were beautifully created. The flowers, impeccable. The organization and execution, flawless. Ruth Ridgeway is the epitome of event designing. I will definitely be reaching back out to Ruth so that I can book her for my next event!

Ruth Ridgeway Design’s

Ruth created an absolutely spectacular wedding for my daughter!! She is creative, professional, and really takes the time to fully understand what her clients are trying to create. Ruth created many events for me over the years, and with every event she has always gone above and beyond my expectations. I am an interior designer who expects perfection, when working with Ruth I know can put my trust in her to make sure every detail will be taken care of.
Besides being incredibly talented she is also an honest and wonderful person.
I highly recommend her ❤️❤️

I can’t say enough good things about Ruth and her team. Ruth was an absolute pleasure to work with. She offers a unique blend of creativity and attention to detail but at the same time she is always mindful of the budget and always looking to give you the most impactful options. She is patient and rolls with the punches even when faced with last minute jitters or changes. She is professional but at the same time incredibly warm and approachable . If you are dreaming of an event that will wow your guests and exceed your highest expectorations, Ruth and her team are the ones you want on the job. Thank you Ruth!

I can’t even begin to describe how amazing Ruth Ridgeway Design is, I would give her 10 stars if I could. I have had a vision in my head of how my wedding would go, how it would look, the flowers, the décor, and everything in between. I could not have even dreamt up the amazing and beautiful day that she created for us. Ruth’s talent is unparalled. When we sat down to discuss the colors and the flowers and the overall feel, there was never an idea that I didn’t love. She truly listens to what you want and envision, and creates something that is just so far beyond your expectations. The flowers were so incredible, they were one of my absolute favorite parts of my entire wedding (second only to marrying my husband!). Thank you so much Ruth, you and your amazing team created a fairytale something that we will cherish for the rest of our lives!!!

Our daughter was married on July 28, 2018 at the Barns at Wesleyan Hills. Thanks to Ruth Ridgeway and her team of professionals the day was spectacular! Ruth not only is extremely talented, but her eye for detail is like no other. Her vision exceeded our expectations. The flowers were so beautiful, our guests were amazed by the quality of the work and how gorgeous everything looked. Just what the bride and groom had wanted. From the first time we met with Ruth, she was warm and wonderful to work with. We couldn't be happier. There wasn't a moment we had any concerns, because we new we had a pro at the helm. Ruth also has a wonderful staff that has been with her for years and are all also very talented and professional. Great job Ruth! I wish we could do it all over again! It was magnificant!

We can't say enough about Ruth. I called Ruth in a panic two months before my wedding. She was gracious, commanding, diligent, creative, and supportive through the entire design process. Ruth and her team went above and beyond at the Burr Homestead. They turned a crabby white tent into a magical dream. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the design was, and the amount of detail that was accounted for! Our day would not have been the same without you, Ruth!

STRAIGHT OUT OF A FAIRYTALE!

Clasping our son's hands my husband and I set down the aisle, and before us stood the MOST MAGNIFICENT
Chuppah ( wedding canopy ) we have ever seen! I actually remember holding my breath as I looked ahead and started the procession. The gorgeous Chuppah was handmade specially made for the bride and groom by a beloved aunt ,but what Ruth designed to compliment it was quite elegant and beautiful : incorporating the colors of the needlepoint while complimenting and enhancing the simplicity of this wonderful gift ~ it was flower magic!

The talents of her team and her SPECTACULAR creative vision also made a splash in the tent where the reception was held. It felt like a ballroom ~ only better. OMG!! people kept exclaiming! The flowers, the chandeliers , the tablecloths ( who mentions the tablecloths??)

THE WHOLE ROOM WAS DIVINE!

Every detail was perfection: the young friends of the couple especially enjoyed this little lounge area with couch and chairs for people to sit and visit - SO AWESOME!

The icing on the cake was the " twinkle lights" that hung from the most gorgeous Magnolia tree right outside the tent as you approached. It was like nothing anyone has ever seen. You wanted to just be near it and basque in the romantic lights and aura she created for the evening.

it felt like LOVE....

Ruth is a pleasure to work with and mother nature decided to give everyone involved a run for her money on the wedding day and all I saw was HER HUGE SMILE and joy on her face as she made it happen. She works beautifully with all vendors and is always accessible.

PS:
I want to get remarried so I can have her design and decorate for me . IT WAS THE MOST ENCHANTING DAY EVER!

Ruth's creative vision and attention to detail are extraordinary. This is clear from a review of her portfolio. But what sets Ruth apart and makes her work very special is that she is incredibly perceptive -- she "gets" her clients and she will not accept anything less than complete satisfaction. It's as important to Ruth to get it right as it will be to you (as the host of your event) or to your child (in the event of a Bar Mitzvah). Ruth anticipated what would be "cool" and "fun" to young people -- she knew it better than they knew it -- and was able to balance this requirement with my requirement that the decor be beautiful, elegant, and classic. I don't believe you will find someone more talented and dedicated to creating the right atmosphere for your celebration--regardless of whether the atmosphere is contemporary or traditional, glitzy or earthy, showy or understated. She will take her cue from you and she will deliver decor that helps you learn something about yourself. You'll walk into the room and recognize your own values and sense of beauty and you'll wonder how she managed to get it so right. Her intuition is invaluable, her professionalism is exceptional, her artwork extraordinary--she is a gem.

Ruth has an extraordinary creative visual mind and gold hands to go along with it. She brings your visions to life in the most beautiful beyond exceptional way. Ruths passion is seen through her work, and the way she contacts me to discuss step by step details for her ideas for my event. My event was magical and visually breathtaking. Thank you Ruth! I would recommend her for any event and will use her for every event. You are truly unique and Gifted

My daughter got married a month ago and one of the best decisions we made was hiring Ruth Ridgeway! I can't begin to tell you how many people told us it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to! Ruth created an elegant beach theme and followed it throughout the venue...from the flowers, to the lighting, and beyond...her work was breathtaking. Ruth was attentive to so many details which we never would have thought of but made all the difference...for example using silver chargers, the table linens, the use of high and low candles, the up lighting... these little things added up to make the wedding reception magical. The way she used flowers and candles in the many centerpieces, and created a different design on every table at the reception was so impressive. Ruth was a pleasure to work with ...her vision and sense of style are unmatched! I would highly recommend working with Ruth...she made my daughter's wedding day one of the most beautiful and happiest days of her life!

I’ve had the pleasure of not only working with Ruth on my own daughter’s bat mitzvah but also being a guest at many occasions that she has designed and planned. Her vision and attention to detail are truly remarkable, but in my mind what really sets her apart is her ability to LISTEN to her clients, work collaboratively, AND meet the budget agreed upon. Hard to find someone who is bursting with energy yet can be so calm and controlled – Ruth is the best of both!

The company I work at (can't say directly, but will say is a large and successful financial company located in Stamford, CT.) has used Ruth Ridgeway for about a decade now for all our onsite company events. She successfully executes by coming up with new and fresh ideas and creating inviting ambiance for our employees to socialize and unwind in. Her design detail is impeccable down to the tiniest of details as well as her knack of understanding her client’s taste.
As for décor or theme, Ruth has a warehouse full of decorations to make any idea come to life. She’s tackled casual and relaxed all the way to chic and trendy for us and nails it every time.
Her work ethic and get-it-done attitude have always made us feel more than comfortable that whatever she’s tasked with she’s going to get it done and with flying colors.
Ruth is also just an amazing personality. She’s outgoing and energetic and makes event planning what it should be….fun! She takes the stress out of the process by making you feel you’re planning your event with a trusted friend. Someone who knows and understands your tastes and is equally invested in the outcome.
On event days, you can plan on seeing her onsite touching up with last minute details and making sure you’re satisfied before she takes off. Some events we have her stay the entire time. She’s flexible when it comes to her client’s needs on party day.
Book Ruth Ridgeway for you next company or personal event. You won’t be disappointed.

Ruth Ridgeway - THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS! I've had the pleasure of working with Ruth for over 16 years on various corporate events and functions. So naturally when it was time for me to walk down the aisle I went to the best! Ruth has a way of completely understanding your vision before you even finish discussing it! She knew exactly what I wanted and 100% delivered it. She takes the time to listen to all of your requests and works with you to make your event flawless. Her impeccable taste and sense of detail are what make her so unique. Our wedding was truly beautiful right down to every detail from the bridal party flowers, to the ceremony space, to our reception. The reception was absolutely gorgeous complete with seating areas and crystal chandeliers! Ruth truly made our day all the more beautiful and we didn't have to worry about anything. Our family and friends are still talking about our wedding décor six months later! I highly recommend using Ruth for your wedding or any event for that matter. She will not disappoint - a true professional! Absolutely love her!!

Where do I begin. When I started wedding planning, I didn't want to spend alot of money on our florals, thinking I would go with a local florist. As my ideas and vision for our "Winter Wonderland" wedding came together, I knew I needed more than just a local florist shop to help execute my vision. So I was given a couple references, one of which was Ruth Ridgeway Designs! I initially met with Ruth at Aria Banquet Facility (which was our venue), where we spoke about my vision and she gave me her input and some ideas of how we could make this come to life. I knew I was going to be in great hands and had great level of confidence in what she would bring to the table. I met and spoke with her one on one at all times. She was very straight forward when she gave me feedback as to her thoughts of detail and where my budget should be put to good use. Over the coming months, Ruth helped put together my vision for my cocktail hour, ceremony, reception, and lounge area by sending my photos and sketches. Aside from all that she did all my florals for the bridal party, myself, and some for the house the day of the wedding. To say our wedding was absolutely magical, is an understatement. Our guests were in awe, with the amount of detail and classiness! Nothing was too overdone or underdone. A perfect touch!

During the wedding planning, I even asked if she would help out with my shower (which was a much smaller scale event than a wedding), since I was doing a 50s housewife themed shower. She agreed! When my guests walked into my shower, they felt like they were actually in the 50s era. My decor was outstanding! From the placecard table, to the linens, center pieces, room accents, it was phenomenal!!!

I am so happy I went with Ruth and her team for both events, I would do it all over again if I could. If anyone is shopping around for a vendor that brings more than just florals to the table, Ruth Ridgeway Designs is the way to go!!!

My first encounter of Ruth Ridgeway was by chance at a restaurant/event hall that my husband, son and I were looking at as a possibility for his Bar Mitzvah party. She was there setting up for a Bat Mitzvah. I watched her carefully and I knew right away that if I was to throw a party, she needed to be the one to be by my side, guiding me. Her details were exquisite; her command of the situation and how she managed everyone was like nothing I had seen before. I just knew that she would be able to help me…a woman who had never thrown a party, no less for a boy that didn’t know what he wanted with the event. When we finally sat for our first meeting with her, she asked questions upon questions, to help us come to a decision on what it was we all wanted. She returned to meet our son and again, was not only present with questions, but an interest in who he was and HOW to make his special day HIS. From then on, the details of everything she presented to us were more than we could have imagined. A simple idea of “I like cars” from my son at his first meeting with her, went on to an enthusiastic, creative, energy-filled party like no other. There are party planners, and then there are event artists. Ruth is the artist – she knows how, when and what to do to create a spirit and energy and environment that matches the affair. If that is what you want, look no further. You will not be disappointed – our highest expectations were far exceeded.

She is detailed oriented, technical, creative, forward thinking, innovative--all while keeping the focus on meeting your goals. You gain peace of mind knowing that things get done exceptionally well.

Ruth Ridgeway is the best! She is so easy to work with and has such an amazing creative mind. I used her for two events and both exceeded my expectations. She had such attention to detail and really executed everything we had discussed in our meetings. Her floral arrangements are so beautiful that i had several people ask me which florist I had used. You can't go wrong with Ruth.

If you have a celebration in your future, run, don't walk to Ruth Ridgeway Design!
I have been fortunate enough to have worked with Ruth and her top notch team on three different occasions, most recently my daughter's wedding at the Loading Dock in Stamford (Nov. '16)
Ruth listens to you and your ideas, and works to create your vision. She will also advise and direct you to where you will get the most bang for your buck. She is always at the ready with multiple ideas for your consideration. No detail is forgotten, no detail is too small.
Ruth is creative, talented, fresh, and a master at what she does.
I look forward to working with her again in the future.

We hired Ruth for twice. Both events went beyond our expectations. Her attention to detail and her creativity are amazing! We have had many events over the years but none have ever come close to these last two done by her. She managed everything from start to finish. It's so nice to be able to be present and enjoy your own party. Ruth was able to do that for us. She is so kind and caring. Her enthusiasm is infectious. If you want to have the best event and enjoy the day, I suggest you hire Ruth.

What can I say!? Ruth Ridgeway is THE quintessential must-have for any wedding. Personable, empathetic, ingeniously creative, and a true professional, Ruth Ridgeway Designs designed a wedding that way surpassed my expectations. She was worth every single penny. There is nobody else in the business who can touch her. I still have guests complementing my wedding. Thanks Ruthie for being such an incredible professional and helping us achieve the wedding that we always wanted. WE LOVE YOU :-)

Ruth knows how to make any celebration worth celebrating. She and her team were amazing! When we first met, we were thinking that my husband's 50th B day party would be primarily outside. She saw the space, listened to what we had to say and came up with the cost and her vision. Then, as we got closer to the event, we had to make a change and bring everything inside because the weather was not on our side. When we made that shift, she immediately understood and re- designed our whole event to be inside and transformed our house in such a way, that our friends are still talking about it. We had never thrown a party like that and had never used a designer, but I would do it again in a heart beat. The whole process was easy, professional and very organized. We highly recommend her for any event!!

I only wish that I could give Ruth and her amazing team of professionals ten stars! From the moment we began the process we knew that we were in the hands of a woman that puts her heart and soul into every details as if it were her own event. I am in the events business and because of my crazy schedule AND because my company was catering the mitzvah, I knew that with Ruth at the helm, I did not need to worry about one thing and I could actually be a guest at my kids mitzvah! In fact she went above and beyond our expectations with details that were so unique and special! Most importantly, she include my twins in the design process and made them feel so special! If I could do it again tomorrow, I would not have changed a thing! For those of you reading this review, feel free to call me so I can sing her praises as there is not enough room here to write them all! We were BEYOND HAPPY! XOX Robin

We have been using Ruth ridgeway and her wonderful company for the past 13 years. She did all 3 of our daughters Bat Mitzvah celebrations. As a Rabbi and Director of my school, Hebrew Wizards, she has helped me convert the First united Methodist Church into a beautiful synagogue for us to share our prayers during our High Holidays.
ruth is a passionate signor and so easy to work with. She understands immediately what our goals will be, and her mission is aligned with ours, to make a beautiful celebration for our family and friends. Every event she puts her heart and soul into her work and the finishing product, is always excellent. Her staff is as amazing as she is. She is a one of a kind person with talent and compassion to make our visions come to life and be a memory forever in our hearts. From flowers, to decor, to planning and execution, there is no-one better than Ruth!

My daughter got married three weeks ago and it was the most beautiful, magical wedding you could ever imagine…thanks to Ruth Ridgeway Design. The phone still has not stopped ringing from different guests calling to tell me “that was the most beautiful wedding I’ve ever been to”, or “that wedding was out of a Storybook!" I was familiar with Ruth’s amazing work prior to my daughter’s wedding, but when I walked into the wedding venue and saw the room I was simply speechless. It was absolutely breathtaking! I honestly thought I was going to break down into tears. Ruth took our wedding flowers and decor to a whole new level. I could have never imagined the elegance and beauty which Ruth created. Ruth does not miss a beat and goes above and beyond your every expectation. After my daughter and I first met with Ruth to go over the wedding flowers and decor we knew that we were not going to have to worry about a thing! We walked to our car like two little kids SO EXCITED about the wedding and all that Ruth and her staff were going to create for us! Ruth is so professional and she listens and guides you in every detail. Ruth’s vision and style took our wedding to a whole new level. It was just spectacular! When your daughter gets married you want everything to be so special and perfect for her…and Ruth did exactly that! Ruth is truly hands on and accessible to every detail. She turned my daughter’s wedding into a STUNNING, ELEGANT, MAGICAL storybook wedding. I cannot thank Ruth enough for all she did for my daughter and my family. I am still overjoyed every time I think of the wedding and all that Ruth created. I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Ruth and her professional team for any upcoming event you have without a doubt!!

Perfection! Ruth designed my wedding, which took place at The Waterview in Monroe, CT. I could not have imagined anything more beautiful. After having the opportunity to see many of Ruth's breathtaking events I knew that we would have a beautiful wedding, but Ruth and her exceptional team blew me away with the gorgeous design that they created for our winter wonderland wedding. Ruth took care of everything to make our ceremony decor/flowers, wedding party flowers, cocktail hour and reception decor/flowers elegant and unique. When you work with Ruth you are getting the opportunity to work with a professional who you can fully trust to make your vision come to life...and then some. Ruth has a keen ear to take in and capture every detail that you are wanting for your day while also using her expertise to make suggestions to enhance your event in every way possible. Ruth took our winter inspired wedding and brought it to a whole new level. I was unsure at first of exactly the type of flowers and decor I wanted for our wedding and after our initial design meeting, Ruth had taken the details that I shared with her and turned it into a winter wedding vision that I could have only dreamed of. Ruth is extremely kind, responsive, has a keen eye & the most creative mind that shines through in each of her events. Ruth gave my husband and I the most elegant and unique wedding that we were completely blown away by. Ruth showered our church with elegant flowers and gorgeous candelabras that lined the aisle making our ceremony absolutely stunning. Already impressed, I was blown away again by the cool, all white, lounge in our cocktail hour area, the exquisite white and silver reception flowers, lighting, candle light, and back drop details that she created. Ruth's creativity and attention to every beautiful detail make her a pleasure and SO much fun to work with. I would HIGHLY recommend working with Ruth and her team on any event. You will be absolutely thrilled!

I used Ruth Ridgeway for my son's Bar Mitzvah. We had a difficult theme (electric forest festival) and she knocked it out of the park. She put together a classy, beautiful, fun, creative, unique party. I had seen Ruth's work before, but she exceeded my every expectation. I have already reserved her for my next mitzvah!

Ruth is a master at what she does. She created a wonderland under a tent for us with every detail carefully considered. Our guests could not stop talking about how breathtaking the decorations were. Ruth made every effort to get to know us and our vision for the reception to create a custom event space that was reminiscent of a fairy tale. We can't recommend Ruth highly enough.

Ruth Ridgeway is simply AMAZING! Recently our son and daughter-in-law were married at an outdoor venue under a tent. From the fabulous entrance archway outside the tent welcoming our guests to the country chic decor, natural garden greenery with wildflowers, and romantic lighting, gave us the casual country elegance that we were hoping for. Ruth is a stickler for detail. Her creative talents in turning a blank canvas to something far more beautiful than you could ever imagine, all within your budget, is truly a gift. She is such a pleasure to work with and undeniably gives you peace of mind the day of your event. We can honestly say that we did not worry for even a moment and were confident that our event was going to be nothing less than gorgeous. Our guests were breathless as well as the bride and groom! The combination of unique decorative accents, personalizing the space to reflect the bride and groom's personality, and one of our favorites, s'more station & fire pit, was ingenious. We can't thank you enough Ruth for making our son's wedding something we were so proud to be a part of. This wedding would not have been as spectacular without your help! We highly recommend Ruth and her team for ANY event. She is a true professional in every sense of the word. We're looking forward to our next event with you!

I have known Ruth for a long time , her kindness , creativity and professionalism are one of a kind. So when it came time for planning my big day I knew there was nobody else I would rather have design my wedding than her. Ruthie put together the most elegant And glam centerpieces I have ever seen. She took my vision and made it a reality. I recieved countless compliments , my guests were fighting over who was taking home the arrangements , and everything photographed amazing. If your planning a special event and want it done right, Ruth is the person for you.

If I could give Ruth 100 Stars I would! Ruth Ridgeway is amazing in every way. She did all my floral arrangements/decor for my wedding at Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht club this past weekend and they were more gorgeous than I could have ever imagined. I could not wait to leave a review for her. It is not simply her flowers that make her so special, she has a wonderful eye for design and had fantastic suggestions. I had no idea what type of flowers I wanted for my wedding and she worked with me and delivered the most elegant table decor/flowers I have ever seen. My personal flowers were breathtaking as were all the girls in my bridal party. When you hire Ruth, you are hiring a true professional in every sense of the word. She is an expert in design, in elegance, and really captured every thing I was looking to achieve for my day. She is patient, responsive, and is simply an expert in her field. This woman knows her stuff, believe me! I had full confidence that she will pull off a beautiful wedding and I was not at all disappointed. I trusted her fully. She made suggestions that totally aligned with what I was looking for. My wedding ceremony was supposed to be outside and up to 3 hours before the actual ceremony we were still undecided as to what to do. Her and her team put up a GORGEOUS Chuppah so quickly, that was beyond breathtaking. My guests could not stop raving about my decor and flowers since then. I HIGHLY recommend her for any event you are thinking of having. I would use her again in a heart beat! SO INCREDIBLY THANKFUL to Ruth and her staff. One of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Anyone would be truly lucky to have her work with them. SO AMAZING.

AMAZING! My wedding was the most artistic beautiful creation I have every seen. It was like Ruth and Sarah took the vision out of my head and invented it to a level I had not imagined yet. So creative and fabulous. My vision was mid summer nights dream with a little rock n roll glitzy glamour and they nailed it! I have had so many of our guests contact me to tell me it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to. They created a unique ambiance in our outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour and reception that somehow still tied together. If you are looking for that special something to take your wedding to the next level - Ruth Ridgeway Designs is definitely the way to go.

Ruth is a creative, top notch designer who takes pride in her work. She will take your event to the next level and surprise you with whimsical and unexpected details. She has a team of designers who can make your visions a reality. I used her services for both of my boys' bar mitzvahs.

I would highly recommend Ruth. She was a pleasure to work with and really understood what we wanted and gave us so much more. We used her services for my daughter's bat mitzvah. She is creative and really knows her stuff and we were thrilled with the end product. We could not have been happier with how everything turned out. The room looked absolutely awesome. We would definitely use her again.

Pricey but Utterly Spectacular!!!!

Ruth is really a piece of work and a master of her craft. She is incredibly thorough in getting to know you, your vision, your preferences, etc. and creating something beautiful. She's totally over the top but worth every penny (and she does not come cheap!). Going to visit her warehouse to see a demo was magical, because she totally took my vision to the next level. Our wedding was a total fairytale because of her work. She is meticulous down to the individual placement of each flower and you will notice the difference in the quality of her work. Everything was utterly gorgeous, on-vision, seasonal, and spectacular!

Ruth was great. She really "got" what we wanted. While I've seen pictures of some of her prior work, including some outrageous bar and bat mitzvah decor (but very appropriate for that age group), she truly understood that we wanted "simple and elegant". I was shocked to find when I walked into her house for the "sample" day with the flowers, that what she had on the table was EXACTLY what I had in mind. In addition, she was a pleasure to work with-- she almost always got back to us immediately with all sorts of questions we had, found affordable ways for us to do different things, etc. She also stepped in as wedding planner on the day of the event and directed everyone through the rehearsal and ceremony.

Ruth it the upmost professional. She is buttoned-up, experienced and you don't need to double-check her work. If you are on a tight budget though, you will want to have that discussion upfront.
