A recent addition to the already stunning patio at Milton Ridge is the new pavilion, a splendid enhancement that further elevates the outdoor wedding experience. Located directly on the patio, the pavilion offers a covered location that is ideal for cocktails, outdoor games, seating, and celebrating, no matter the weather. The structure is equipped with ceiling fans to keep the area cool during warmer months, ensuring guests stay comfortable throughout the event. The pavilion is also designed with open sides that maintain the open-air feel of the patio while providing protection from the elements, making it perfect for all-season events.

Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Flow

Located right outside the main entrance to the Reception Hall, the design of the patio at Milton Ridge effortlessly connects the various elements of your wedding day. Guests can enjoy a beautiful outdoor ceremony right on the patio, followed by a photo session in the lush gardens and grounds, capturing the natural beauty and special moments. Post-ceremony, the celebration can shift under the new pavilion, where guests can enjoy cocktails in an elegant, covered setting. The day culminates in the reception hall, where dinner and dancing take place.

Weather-Proofing Your Big Day

The beauty of having a historic chapel on the grounds cannot be overstated. If the weather decides not to cooperate, you can move your ceremony inside without skipping a beat. The chapel is gorgeous, climate-controlled, and equipped with tons of natural light, ensuring your wedding feels special, come rain or shine.
