I wish them continued success and I will never host an event anyplace else ever again. Mrs Gail was a pleasure to work with and paid attention to every detail.

Mary, who supervised the operation on the day of our party, was on top of every detail, and she quickly resolved any issues that came up. Trina and Re made the place spotless. I might add that the sound system was clear from front to back. When I have another special occasion, I will return to the Ridgeway.

Please, please, please...do not have your wedding at Taravella Manor. Only thanks to good friends &…read morefamily was I able to enjoy the last part of my reception because the majority of the reception I felt like a guest of dishonor rather than a guest of honor. I waited to write my review until after I discussed with Taravella Manor. All of the issues I addressed below were of course disputed by the general manager, Darius, who acted as though everything went off without a hitch. As a result, I have decided to write a review in hopes that others will not make the mistake I did & book their wedding at this venue. Taravella Manor boosts that they will walk you through step by step, "you just show up & we will do the rest." What a joke. It was so disorganized. My hostess would stop by tell us something & then disappear! We had no attendant for myself, my groom, his parents or my mom. He & I had to go to the bar to get our own drinks all night long. There also was no reserved table for the bride & groom or our bridal party. When asked by the mother of the groom, the staff advised there were no reserved signs in the establishment. I brought a pen for people to sign my guest book & no one could find it. The general manager insisted I didn't give it to him, which just infuriated me further. During my bridal party dance, the music stopped & we were offered no explanation as we stood on the dance floor for several minutes looking around. The DJ was terrible. He played "Strokin" for the first song of my money dance & was asked 4 times before he changed it. No one could hear any of his announcements as they were all muffled. Due to miscommunication of their staff to my photographer, we cut our cake & no one knew. When I asked the general manager, Darius, he said, well that was the cake cutting if you already took pictures. The pass around food was not served until an hour and a half before the reception was ending. By the time we were made a plate by the attendant, it was ice cold. One of the staff members kept going to the dance floor. She tried to get me to dance, but I told her several times I did not want to do a line dance. When this was addressed to Darius the general manager, he says that staff dance when asked to by guests. No one asked her! She was asking people because she wanted to dance. I have several pictures of her in my professional pictures dancing- so unprofessional. The lighting is terrible in this place, spotlights nearly blinded us when walking in & photographer had to ask us to step out of it during our first dance because it was ruining our pictures. There were candles on the table, but they were not lit and it took 4 times asking for these to be lit. The place seemed to be falling apart at the seams with neither our attendant or the general manager ever readily available to address any of these issues. As I said above, despite my frustrations, my groom & I were set on enjoying ourselves & we ignored the cacophony of disaster and set our sights on the beauty of people we loved there to celebrate with us. I wanted my grievances to be heard & I was not only placated, but moreover told I was a liar. Save yourself some frustration, pay more & go somewhere else. I could probably list 20 more complaints about this place, but I believe I have painted a good picture. Several of my family members and friends have also reviewed for my wedding on 10-11-19, echoing much of the same.

I was lucky enough be able to check out this venue for a fancy event…read more The space here is lovely. This large piece of property is surrounded by lovely trees and gardens that make any event picturesque. Outside there is a seating area with a fireplace where you can take in the view. Inside there is a bar in the front and then a big room where the party happens and then there is a connected room with great light and views. On the night I was here, the entire "outside" room was illuminated and the yard area was beautifully lit. I like that the space is large enough so that you don't feel stuffed into the space. The staff was attentive and cleared everything as needed and the bartenders were fast about keeping up with the crowd. I didn't eat much, but the food I did have was good.

I usually come to this hall for the Morpheus pre and post parade party. The food is pretty darn tasty and the drinks are usually free for me when I get there. I have also been here for the pussyfooter blush ball, which is also a really good time. My only complaint is the lack of bathrooms. Maybe it's just me but for such a big hall, there should be more bathrooms for use. It's a small complaint but after you have been drinking free beer for a while, a bathroom becomes #1 priority!
