I’ve booked my wedding at The Ridge....
Now what?
Our venue coordinator will always be available for any questions you may have. The venue
coordinator will reach out 6 months and 30 days

What’s required to book at The Ridge?
We require a 25% deposit of your total booking cost to secure your desired event date. A signed contract will also be required at the time of booking. 🤍
When are the rest of my payments due?
After the initial 25% deposit is paid to secure your date at The Ridge, an additional 25% payment will be due 6 months prior to your event date.
The remaining 50% balance is due 30 days before your event. Your security deposit will be due the week of the event. 🤍
How does the security deposit work?
The Ridge requires a $500 security deposit, due the week of your event, to help ensure the venue is left in the same condition it was received.
If the venue is left clean and undamaged — with no excessive trash, broken items, or property damage — your full $500 security deposit will be returned within 2 weeks following your event date. 🤍
Can we bring our pet to our event?
Your furry family members are more than welcome to be part of your big day at The Ridge! 🤍
We simply ask that you give us a heads up if pets will be onsite. All animals must remain on a leash at all times, and owners are responsible for cleaning up after them.
