My husband and I got married in August and Kestrel Ridge was the most amazing venue. Nickie was amazing to work with, she always answered emails promptly and was very transparent about things she’s seen work well at weddings vs not so well. Carrie was amazing to work with on our wedding day. She checked in regarding how my husband and I (as well as our parents) were doing and made sure we didn’t need anything from her throughout the day/night and she was always around if we had any questions or concerns! The food was beyond amazing! Multiple guests approached my husband and I to tell us how great dinner was, some people even wanted to get a second plate. The rest of the staff was amazing as well. Dinner tables were cleared promptly, the bar tenders were friendly and attentive. Our wedding day would not have been the same without the entire staff at Kestrel Ridge. They truly made our day perfect and we would recommend that anyone get married at Kestrel Ridge! Photos courtesy of Hillary Jean Photography+ Branding
We had such an amazing experience with Kestrel Ridge and absolutely recommend it to anyone planning a wedding. From the very beginning, Nickie and Kristina were wonderful to work with. They were so helpful, organized, and always made us feel supported throughout the planning process. Having them there made everything feel so much less stressful. On the day of the wedding, the staff was incredible. So many of our guests complimented how friendly and attentive everyone was. And the food was a huge hit! Chef Tori and her team in the kitchen did a fantastic job with the hors d’oeuvres and the meal. We heard over and over from our guests about how delicious everything was, which meant so much to us. Our day felt so smooth and special, and we’re incredibly grateful to the entire team for helping make our wedding everything we hoped it would be. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Our daughter and son-in-law had their wedding at Kestrel Ridge Golf Course in August 2026. The staff is amazing! They were exceptionally attentive to our needs, and everything went smoothly, from the rehearsal to the ceremony to the dinner and afterwards. The venue is gorgeous and every guest I talked to mentioned it as well. I highly recommend Nickie and her staff for planning and executing a wedding to remember.
Kestrel Ridge is a beautiful wedding reception and ceremony venue. Their event space held our 130ish guests very comfortably and everyone had a great time. The reception ballroom has beautiful chandeliers and is painted with neutral gray colors to fit with any wedding color scheme. We were able to decorate the day before which made our wedding day much less stressful. Nicki, the event coordinator, was great to work with and met with us in person multiple times and each time she made us feel at ease about the day. She also did a great job directing people during our rehearsal and during the ceremony on the day-of. The food was delicious. We decided to do family style which gave everyone the opportunity to try both meal selections without having to walk through a buffet line. This made dinner faster and allowed us to get to the dance floor sooner. They also had a great bar service team! Overall, we had a great experience hosting our wedding at Kestrel Ridge.
My husband and I got married here on 9/10/22 and would definitely recommend it! The outdoor ceremony space is beautiful and the reception area has a large bar and patio attached to it. Everything was included with the space (tables, chairs, linens, etc) so we didn’t need to worry about renting anything. Nickie is the day of coordinator and was amazing to work with. Her expertise and communication made it as stress free as possible! The entire staff the day of were very helpful and friendly. They helped set everything up and took it all down for us to pick up the next day so we didn’t have to worry about anything the day of. And the food was amazing!! We received so many compliments on it (some even said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had). I never had a doubt that my wedding day would be perfect thanks to this venue and the staff.
