Milton Ridge was an incredible place to get married! The beauty of the venue and the inclusive wedding options (i.e. catering, DJ, etc.) made this the absolute perfect place to say, "I do!" The getting ready suites were superb & made the day of preparation before the ceremony seamless. The chapel was so beautiful and such a great little spot off the side of 355. Our guests still comment on the simplicity of how we decorated the chapel, and how beautiful the white walls and natural light streaming in were during the ceremony. I was not sure how we'd get group photos on the property... and our photographers were able to use the beautiful stone and green areas within the venue to capture the most beautiful photos of the bride, groom and the wedding party! Guests are still RAVING about how convenient it was to walk up a few stairs to the cocktail hour AND into the reception. They marveled at the ease... park your car, attend the ceremony and then stay and party all night long until it's time to leave! The reception hall was beautiful; the buffet food was to die for; and Meghan and Brandi ensured that EVERY detail of our wedding day was accounted for, seamless and flowing without any hitch! I cannot recommend Milton Ridge enough! Thank you for making our wedding day the most memorable and BEST day of our lives! We owe it to this team, this venue and their support with planning our wedding every step of the way!

I can not thank Turf Valley enough for making our wedding day so AMAZING! It was hands down the best day and I can not say enough good things about the staff and service. Leading up to our wedding day, Jenny was fantastic and always available to help us in the decision making process. To start our weekend, my girlfriends and I went to the spa! The spa was absolutely WONDERFUL and a great way to kick start our weekend! Crystal from the spa was so friendly and easy to work with! My husband went golfing while we went to the spa and he loved the course and service very much! We did a bridesmaids luncheon the Friday before the wedding and Steve from the restaurant was very helpful and nice to work with! For the entire weekend, Latisha was our right hand lady! She made for a very calm weekend and handled any problem we had with vendors immediately. She would frequently come check on us during the wedding to see if we needed anything. She helped keep us on track with our schedule throughout the wedding day. Latisha did anything and everything to help make it the smoothest day possible! All the staff were truly INCREDIBLE! We also loved the convenience of having the hotel at the same location as the reception. It was very easy for our wedding guests. I would 10/10 recommend Turf Valley!
