The Villa Wedding
We could not have asked for a better wedding coordinator than Serena! She was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and such a joy to work with from start to finish. Serena is so sweet and made the whole planning process feel easy and stress-free. If she didn’t have an answer right away, she immediately reached out to the right person and got back to us quickly, which gave us so much peace of mind. Thanks to her, our wedding day was absolutely perfect and ran so smoothly. Our venue, The Villa, was stunning—the food was amazing, the vibes were perfect, and everything came together beautifully. 10/10 would recommend Serena and The Villa to anyone—our day was everything we dreamed of!
The Fraser’s at The Villa
We had our wedding at The Villa at Ridder on 8/23/25, and everything was absolutely perfect! From the moment we first toured the venue, we knew it was the right place for us, it’s beautiful, elegant, and not insanely expensive. The staff made the entire process so easy and stress-free. They were professional, attentive, and incredibly organized, which made our day run seamlessly. We worked with Lexie, Brianna, and Kristen. Every detail was handled smoothly, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The food was delicious, and our guests are still raving about how much they enjoyed it. You have to do the European deserts because those were delicious. The Villa truly exceeded our expectations and gave us the wedding day we had always hoped for. They even worked with us to accommodate some Ukrainian traditions and if you have foreign family that are worried, trust me you’re in good hands. We can’t recommend The Saphire Event Group enough it’s the perfect place to celebrate such a special occasion! I’d also recommend doing the inclusive package, the dj and florist were awesome.
BOOK THE VILLA!!
We could not be happier that we chose The Villa as our wedding venue! From start to finish, the entire staff was an absolute dream to work with. Communication was always clear and prompt, and every detail was handled with such care that we felt completely comfortable and confident entrusting them with our big day. Our event producer, Serena, deserves a special shoutout she was truly incredible to work with!! She brought such fun, positivity, and professionalism to the entire planning process. Her advice and input were always thoughtful and helpful, and we never felt pressured to do anything, which made us feel supported every step of the way. The venue itself is stunning, but what really sets The Villa and the Sapphire Event Group apart is how seamlessly and expertly they run everything. It’s clear they know exactly what they’re doing, and because of them our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. We cannot recommend them highly enough!
Our Dream Wedding Space
We had our wedding at The Villa and truly could not have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless thanks to our event producer, Caroline. She made everything so easy and stress-free, which allowed us to actually enjoy the planning process and fully relax on the big day. The venue itself is gorgeous, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. Our wedding day ran so smoothly, and we felt completely taken care of the entire time. We’ve also received so many compliments from our guests, especially about the incredible food and the attentive service. We are so grateful to The Villa team for helping us create such a special and memorable day—we can’t recommend them enough to future couples!
