“I got married in August at a friends house in San Martin, but I needed a place for my bridesmaids and I to get ready in the morning. When my (now husband) and I met with Esther for the first time for a tour we thought she had worked there for years, but she had just graduated college. She is wise beyond her years and I loved working with her. Her job knowledge was through the roof. She really had all the answers, she loves her job and it shows. Esther made us both feel so special. We used Fortino's space to get ready and take pre-wedding pictures and say our vows to each other. My girls and I were welcomed with a mimosas bar in the room upstairs and had a great time. Esther really made sure we were all set with everything we needed for the morning. Highly recommend using them for any events you may have in the future.”

“I cannot express how grateful my husband and I are for the experience that we had at Eagle Ridge by Wedgewood. Starting with our very first visit, touring the venue. I had originally had 3 different venues that I was scheduled to see and when I toured Eagle Ridge, I just knew that this was the place for us. It is absolutely beautiful. Priscilla and Jennifer were so professional and so very kind, making sure to answer all of my questions and assuring me that their mission was to make our experience as smooth as possible with zero stress. Mission accomplished!! Every little detail, phone appointments, payment options and everything in between was convenient. The food was delicious, DJ Brian was perfect and really made the wedding fun. Priscilla made sure that our timeline was smooth and on time and made sure everyone knew exactly where they needed to be, for those that weren't able to make the rehearsal. I had my dream wedding, and it was perfect. I wouldn't change a thing. We are still obsessing over pictures and videos and our guests still talking about "the wedding of the year!" Highly recommend Eagle Ridge by Wedgewood Weddings. 5-star rating from us. Huge thank you to Priscilla, Jennifer and all of the wedding staff that participated in making our day so special. Love, The Tidwell's”
