I can’t begin to describe how perfect our wedding was thanks to Saphire Event Group. Sarah Greenstein and her team were nothing short of helpful, caring, and on top of it. She was always 10 steps ahead of everything and made everything run smoothly. They really went above and beyond. My husband and I felt like royalty the whole night. Sarah was extremely helpful throughout all our meetings, she was helpful when asked questions, and also, was very patient and kind in responding to my millions of questions! She did all this while pregnant, she is a rock star! SEG went above and beyond and adapted their menu to fit my Latin culture, and my guests were raving about the food as a result. It was everything we wanted, actually better. I certainly recommend using them for any and all events. We’re forever grateful! -

We got married there 4 days ago and if I could marry my husband 100 times I would have my reception there every single time. You could cut the prime rib with a butter knife, the chicken and fish were absolutely delicious; the room was stunning and the staff were so accommodating and knowledgeable. Anything I needed from drinks to helping with my bustle and everything else in between- I cannot recommend this place enough. Best decision we ever made. And special shout out to Meridith K (our planner)for being so organized, professional and fun! She made my day everything I could have hoped for! -

We cannot say enough good things about The Villa. From the moment we toured, we knew this would be THE place. Ellen, our Event Producer was on top of things from the very start. She was extremely communicative, helpful, and a calming presence in a normally stressful time. Ellen provided timely updates, walked us through the entire event timeline, and made the day so special. She even suggested other vendors to use, and set up a lunch at Adria for the groom and his groomsmen, so that we could get to the Villa without being seen for a perfect first look. Our Event Manager, Julie, helped us both get around and stuck to the timeline perfectly, even assisting in photo curation! The Madera Ballroom provided the perfect wintery/Christmas/rustic vibe that we were going for. The food, from the passed hors d'oeuvres to the main course to the cupcake tower, was to die for. We still have people reaching out to us about how well the chicken was made and where we got the cookies from - they were that good. If you want a magical wedding, with a wonderful staff supporting you throughout every moment, The Villa is the place to get married! A HUGE thank you to all the servers, bartenders, chefs and kitchen staff, bridal attendant, manager, and producer (shoutout bestie Ellen!) for making our wedding day PERFECT. -

Amazing Venue & Team!
Our overall experience with The Villa and their team was amazing! We worked specifically with their Event Producer Meridith & Serena, as well as had additional support from Jacqueline and Cynthia the day of our wedding. The entire Villa team made sure that the day flowed well, that my wife and I got to eat and enjoy their food throughout the evening/night, and that any questions, concerns, requests were met, all with smiles and an uplifting attitude! We would definitely recommend the location and team! -

The Villa was everything we wanted for our wedding, our coordinator there Ellen Jones was everything we needed for our wedding. They were kind and professional every step of the way. Ellen kept track of everything for us, offering us options and support when we weren’t sure about things. She was responsive to all of our questions and made sure we were aware of all our options. I’ve heard wedding horror stories and every one just makes me so glad we worked with everyone at the villa, could not relate whatsoever. It was my first choice off photos alone but the location was perfect for my wife’s family and our experience was flawless. They made us so happy and kept me stress-free also the food was delicious and the area beautiful. 6 stars -

The Villa is absolutely the place to be for your dream wedding. I had my wedding this month 4 days ago and I just could not wait to let them know how happy I am for choosing there Venue . From the minute I walked in the door I knew this is the right place . Im so thankful for Meridith Kelly , she is absolutely wonderful to work with. She is so organize , super friendly, details oriented , super responsive to all my questions and emails and she didn't make me feel overwhelmed with all the details because she took her time to explain everything!!! At first I was so worry that all my guests is going to complain about the good because they are so picky since they only been to an asian style wedding. BUT no, they LOVE the foods , all the appetizers and drinks and the main course was to die for. Also the service was incredible, everyone was checking on us through the whole night to make sure we get what we need . I can go on and on how much I love this Venue, so check them out !!! You wont regret😍 -

Sarah G did awesome!
Incredible communication, organization and planning from the start. I really have no idea how anyone can plan a wedding like this on their own. The professionalism is unmatched. Their expertise made our wedding day as fun, special and stress-free...(as a wedding could possibly be haha).
Sapphire Group is a well oiled-machine.
We had the time of lives. It got pretty lively towards the end of the night, but we kept it in control from what I remember.
After party continued on at the Marriot Rayham hotel until about 3am with pizza, wine & cigars.
We had a great night!
Thanks for everything. The whole staff did an incredible job. -

Beautiful Venue and Attentive Staff
We are very pleased with our decision to host our wedding at The Villa at Ridder Country Club. The outdoor ceremony space was stunning and the ballroom reception was gorgeous as well. The price for the space was a great value too. The staff, particularly Ellen (Event Coordinator who helped leading up to and on the day of the event) and Becky (Bridal Attendant who was absolutely amazing with having the best suggestions, bandaids, helping with everything even if I didn't even know to ask for the help) were absolutely rock stars!! Thank you so much for everything. You helped to make our day really special -

Leanne W. Sent on 08/02/2023Beautiful location! Amazing staff!
We were so blessed to have our wedding at the Villa. We had our ceremony outside in the beautiful Madera Garden and then moved into the Madera ballroom for our reception. The grounds are stunning and the ballroom was exactly the vibe we were looking for. Ellen Jones was our event producer and she was amazing! She answered every email (and I swear sometimes she could read my mind and answer my questions before I asked. ) She made us feel at ease and we knew we could trust her with any detail! The food at the Villa is delicious! We would highly recommend this venue to anyone! -

Wedding of our dreams!
We had the BEST experience at The Villa at Ridder Country Club. If we could rate it 10 stars, we would!
The planning process with the team at The Villa was seamless. It was such a pleasure working closely with our event producer Sarah. EVERY question was answered and EVERY detail was covered. The meeting timeline and supporting preparation documents helped us manage the wedding planning details without a wedding planner. Sarah was so beyond patient and friendly, it made the process even more enjoyable. She captured every detail (down to our very specific uplighting request to the wedding favor placement).
A few other highlights:
-The venue itself - absolutely, beautiful! It was made for weddings.
-The preferred vendor list is helpful if you are struggling where to start with your vendor. We selected our dj/photobooth/photographer from the list and are so happy with the experiences we’ve had with each of our vendors.
-The food selection was amazing. There were so many options, it was nearly impossible for us to chose!
-The organization and structure provided by the team on our wedding day made everything run so smoothly. Our guests are still commenting on how organized our wedding day was.
This truly was the wedding of our dreams, and we would definitely recommend The Villa as a wedding venue to anyone who asked.

Noelle G. Sent on 07/02/2023The Saphire Team know what they're doing
My husband and I had an amazing experience with the entire team at The Villa for our wedding. Well organized; from the initial tour, to the food tasting event, to the 3 month meeting, to the 3 week meeting. Our event producer, Sarah, kept us organized and on track throughout the entire process.
They work hard and genuinely wanted to ensure our wedding was special and what we envisioned.
The ceremony at the outdoor pergola was breathtaking. The landscaping around the venue for photos was sooo well-kept. And the grand ballroom with the fireplace was everything and more!
And the FOOD! My guests can’t stop raving about it! From the lobster rangoon hors d'oeuvres to the late-night French fries. DELICIOUS!
Sarah and the team took the stress and worry off us and made our big day as seamless and beautiful as possible!
