The Ridge

Dustin Higgins

The Ridge as one of 4 locations we looked at for our wedding venue. We were immediately impressed by the breathtaking view of the Appalachians, and the beauty of the property itself. We were also impressed with the flexibility that the Ridge offered. Both the indoor and outdoor options provide an amazing view of the mountains, and I strongly recommend using the Chateau as a rain backup plan (which we ended up using). With the gigantic French Doors open, we got a perfect view of the mountains. The Ridge staff were so helpful during the planning process and on the day of the wedding. When we had to delay our wedding because of the pandemic, the Ridge allowed us to reschedule at no additional charge. On the wedding day, the staff were attentive to all our needs, from letting us make cocktails at the residence for the wedding party to shuttling us and our guests from the parking lot/residence to the chateau. The beauty of the venue speaks for itself, and staff (especially Darien and Bree) complimented that beauty. Everyone loves what they do, and that showed on our wedding day.

We got married at the Ridge in November 2021 and had an great experience. We used the Residence, the Ridge for our wedding ceremony and reception, The Venue for catering, The Planning for coordination. Overall I would highly recommend their services for your wedding. The view is gorgeous, the food was incredible, the staff were very flexible and incredibly accommodating to us and our guests. Their day-of operations were top notch and they made our large event go off without a hitch. They all made our wedding truly amazing. Like any venue right now, especially a beautiful venue in Asheville in the fall, they were swamped with weddings so communication was a little delayed at times (like in October) but it all worked out and it did not matter at all on the day of.

I got married for the first time in my mid 40s. I was hoping that the staff at The Ridge would help to make this one of the happiest moments of my life. They did not disappoint. It was such a beautiful setting, and to be able to share this …

The Ridge is an absolutely beautiful venue with a spectacular view, but to focus only on the physical space misses what truly brought magic to our wedding: the staff. Darien, Marta, Nicole (from The Planning), and the rest of their crew are unmatched in their awesomeness. They are wonderful people who clearly love what they do, and they do it well. Throughout every step of the planning process, they were closely attentive to our interests. My wife and I both feel like our wedding was the best day of our lives, in large part because of The Ridge’s tireless, genuine effort to bring our vision to life. At the end of the night, as we hugged the staff to say farewells before leaving, we felt like we were saying ‘see you later’ to friends. We hope to keep in touch with The Ridge, and we are so grateful for the special day they created for us. If you’re planning a wedding at The Ridge, be sure to check out their sister location The Venue in Downtown Asheville. We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at The Venue, and it was equally amazing!
