Visited red Ridge receptions for a friend's wedding. It was really beautiful. I liked their outdoor…read moreservice area. It has a great backdrop. We attended a wedding in August and it was pretty hot outside because as a guest, you have to stay seated for a bit for the whole ceremony, but that is a seasonal thing. There was an outdoor patio appetizer set up area to mingle for a little bit, and then we moved indoors to be seated for dinner and the reception I thought the venue was perfect. The only big tip that I would have liked to have received before attending was to try to come with an SUV or four-wheel-drive because the incline to get up to the location is pretty steep!! It was a little scary and I wouldn't have liked to have been the one driving.

My husband and I had our wedding here just a few weeks ago. Everything was amazing. Chris and…read moreBethany were so responsive and helpful with any/all questions. They even noticed I paid a vendor for something they supplied and was able to reimburse me some money, which was much appreciated! Anna, our day of coordinator provided by Red Ridge, was absolutely fantastic. She was handling things I wouldn't have even thought of. She was kind and team-bride all the way. She was absolutely incredible and I cannot say enough good things about her. Everyone in the wedding party noticed how attentive and helpful she was. The venue itself is in a stunning location. The photos from the evening are just amazing against the beautiful backdrop. Everything was just beautiful, especially because we picked the all-inclusive package which really helped cut down on the extra things I needed to plan as a bride. All of their details were handled with easy to access and manage online forms. The ONLY reason I am not giving 5 stars is due to a very disappointing experience with the DJ provided by the venue. I am trying hard not to fault the venue for this, but it really was pretty heartbreaking for me as the bride. The DJ, a young man who had been with the company several years I was told, played the wrong song as I walked down the aisle. Instead of playing the instrumental version of one of me and my husband 's favorite songs, the DJ played our aisle exit song as I walked down the aisle. The song had words and was upbeat. Although a meaningful song to us as a couple, it was just not the bridal moment I had always dreamt about. It the moment, I just went with it because I didn't want to stop and go back, I just wan't sure what to do, but I really can't stop thinking about how that moment of walking down the aisle that I'e always dreamt of was taken from me by a DJ just not paying enough attention. To make matters just a bit worse, he then played that same song as we exited the ceremony space. I had a few guests mention to me how it was as "interesting choice in ceremony music" and I just had to explain that there had been a mistake. I felt really embarrassed and disappointed. In addition, even though I had hand selected the songs to play at the reception, the DJ somehow loaded up the wrong playlist and the first 4 or 5 songs weren;t ones I had picked. Oldies were played, which was fine I guess ... just not our kind of music. After alerting Anna to the fact that this was not our music the problem was rectified. After reaching out to Chris and Bethany about my frustration and sadness over this issue they were very apologetic and let me know that that DJ would no longer be working for their company. I feel a sense of relief for upcoming brides that will not have to feel the disappointment of having that one special moment ruined, but I also feel a sense of guilt for having that employee lose their position.

She captured exactly what we had hoped... from the wonderful "getting ready" activities and pre-wedding prayers and photos to the ceremony itself, to the party afterward... it was PERFECT! We had seen Vida Film's work from another wedding and loved it too, which is why we hired Vida for our event. Candace also worked in concert with the photographer (Al Gawlik Photography, by the way, is awesome too!) and partnered together to produce great photos and video. I would HIGHLY recommend Candace and her team for any event or other special gathering you need a videographer for. She will meet with you beforehand, get a feel for what you need, and capture the moments in a format you can always cherish...and cherish again and again! :)

I would hands down recommend Vida Film Productions for your wedding/event. I loved how Candace met with my husband and I on a few occasions to talk about our wedding. She took the time to get to know us and what was important to our families. Candace was very thoughtful, mindful, and considerate in every aspect of the process. Candace is a kind professional, who took the time to truly capture our wedding. She really understood what we found meaningful. She answered any questions we had along the way. She gave her best advice, always. We had family come from all over the United States and from overseas. The films Candace captured & edited were flawless and breathtaking. Everyone is in awe of our videos. We love being able to see the wedding in motion. We love the movement, sounds, and smiles that were in each shot. Candace did a BEAUTIFUL job of capturing our wedding. I can't say enough great things about Candace and the work she does. It's clear this is her passion and she does it with her full heart. I am overly satisfied with our completed films and couldn't imagine them any other way. She totally captured what we envisioned and now we have those memories filmed for a life time. She has a positive personality and is a great listener. She asks meaningful questions to ensure a smooth process. This is your girl, people! LOVE HER! Candace Statham, we can't thank you enough for everything!! XOXO, The Hakims
