As soon as we arrived, we were so glad that we had chosen Milton Ridge and knew that we had made the right choice. All of the staff were very welcoming and helpful. They were with us through every step of our wedding day with lots of support and smiles. The cottage for getting ready is very cute, the chapel is beautiful, and the reception hall is great as well. They have many services included in their various wedding packages like catering, DJ, photographer, and cake. They also have outside vendors that they work with frequently, such as hair and make-up and a florist, who are all wonderful. They are inclusive, and they are supportive of LGBT weddings. My now wife and I are part of the LGBT community, and we were treated very well by the entire team. We were able to have our wedding exactly how we wanted, and they worked with us on every detail. On the day, they had the entire day scheduled and kept us on track, which is actually so necessary and helpful on a day when you're trying to do so many things. Everything went smoothly and as stress free as a wedding can be. It was truly a wonderful day. Thank you so much to the whole team! -Harley and Jackie

We knew we wanted to grow our business and expand our reach...but where? We toured many vacant spaces, waiting for something to jump out at us and let us know, "this is IT!". Patience was the key, and soon we were given an opportunity to take over a well-known location in the heart of downtown Bel Air. The Town of Bel Air welcomed us with open arms, and we opened our doors at 119 S. Main Street on March 28th, 2023 - just short of 5 years after we opened our flagship location in Parkville.
