    Beautiful greenery!!

    Country Ridge Cottage was a wonderful venue for our wedding. From the moment we first inquired, the staff was quick to respond, accommodating to our requests, and genuinely kind throughout the entire planning process. While there were a few minor issues that came up, the team worked hard to address them and overall the venue was perfect for our needs. They are continuously making upgrades to the space, and we were impressed by the beautiful setting and value we received. Our guests raved about the location/ greenery. We would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful, outdoor, affordable wedding location.

    Afforadable and flexible

    Loved the simplicity of the venue. The staff were accommodating and accepting of our values and it was so cost effective! I'll recommend walking the venue prior to booking as at first glance it can appear small but for our outdoor function it was perfect!
