Our daughter's ceremony and reception were held at Ruffled Feathers. There was not one area that I can complain about. EVERYTHING was exceptional. The beauty of the gazebo and course made for a beautiful outdoor ceremony. The decor of the ballroom was elegant, and the food and service exceptional. Toby Niccum does a fantastic job both before and during the event in managing his staff to execute flawlessly. Toby answered all our questions, accommodated our requests to the finest details, made suggestions that were helpful. His staff never grumbled but always greeted us with a smile and can-do attitude. Our guests marveled at the food both in presentation, QUALITY, and quantity. No-one went home hungry or disappointed. The words we kept hearing from our guests were: "classy, elegant for the venue and for the entire day itself, and "fantastic" for the food and service. Toby has excellent servers and also had more than enough. Our 150 guests were served in five minutes. They were continuously coming around with the wine service, an asking if anything else was needed. The cake supplied by Ruffled Feathers via Dominoes Bakery was fresh and not too sweet, and received nothing but raves.
I am a Certified Meetings Professional (CMP) by profession, planning nonprofit galas and events from 10 to 1,000, and have experienced the best and the worst. I can say from professional experience that Toby, his staff, and Ruffled Feathers are one of the absolute best in the business. As mother-of-the-bride, Thanks for making our daughter's wedding a positively memorable and affordable occasion.

My husband and I got married at Ruffled Feathers Sept 16, 2011. It was beautifu...l and perfect in every way. Toby and his staff were amazing! They kept everyone happy the whole night and ran everything smoothly. We are still getting phone calls from friends and family raving about how wonderful of a time they had and how beautiful the venue was. Thank you Toby, Ruffled Feathers and your staff for giving my husband and I the best wedding day we could ever ask for. It was absolutely... wait for it... LEGENDARY!

Ruffled Feathers was a great venue and everyone was more than accommodating. Toby, the wedding coordinator and the rest of the staff truly went above and beyond any request or need that we asked for. The venue and grounds were beautiful and it was nice to have your own space throughout the entire place. You do not even need a wedding planner for your event if you have it here because the staff will more than make up for it! What a great feeling to know that everyone is looking out for you and your wedding party and they truly made us feel at home.

My husband and I were married at Ruffled Feathers on July 22, 2011. We had our ceremony and reception there and we could not have been happier with our choice. Toby and Jackie took fantastic care of us and our guests. The package was well worth the price, a very good value and a beautiful venue! We would highly recommend this location! We also had our Bridal Shower and rehearsal dinner at Ruffled Feathers. We were extremely happy with all of our events there :)

We are very pleased with our experience at Ruffled Feathers for our wedding reception. After attending a friend's wedding at RF, we thought it would be a great place to look into. RF includes many different things in their packages (chair covers, cake, appetizers, etc). It was nice that they were not additional. The staff was friendly and professional throughout the evening. The food was delicious, and everyone had a wonderful time!

We are so happy we chose Ruffled Feathers for our reception venue! The room is beautiful, and an added bonus is that there is only one ballroom - so only one wedding at a time. The food was delicious, we got so many compliments on it! Toby was very responsive and helpful through our planning process; I probably emailed him with thousands of random questions leading up to the day. The service on the day of was fantastic, we had people constantly checking up on us to make sure we didn't need anything. Our guests had an amazing time. Thank you Ruffled Feathers!!

Words cannot say how much Toby and all the hard workers at Ruffled Feathers made our day so special and perfect. From the food, to the servers, to the place itself. I recommend this place 110% I have never met people like Toby who took there time to make our day special and memorable for all the right reasons. I cant say one bad thing about this place and this is coming from a bride who had no clue on what I wanted. I never attended a wedding here and my now husband Bryan was the one who picked this place to check out and compare with other reception venues. I am glad he did. I am surprised that I havent heard about this place before. It is wonderful. Great job to every single worker at Ruffled Feathers that made our day GREAT!!!

Where do I begin writing this review??!! Toby and his staff were amazing and fun to work with. My husband and I knew this was the place as soon as we left our first meeting with Toby and viewing the venue. The main thing we liked was that only one wedding is held here a night. You don't have to worry about strangers stealing your gifts or drinking your booze, etc.
Toby was very negotiable and flexible when it came to choosing a package. The tasting was amazing! They served full chicken, steak, soup, cake, etc. They brought in ColdStone as an option for dessert. The cake company they use is a family owned Italian bakery that has been in business for 50+ years. They were amazing too. The prices were comparable and competitive to other vendors. In fact, I would be willing to bet that they would beat prices of other venues. The room was beautiful. Tall ceilings and a large bar with bartenders who remembered the guests' drinks and would have a drink waiting as they walked up to the bar.
All of the staff was very friendly. I accidentally booked 20 people at one table and Jessica (I think was her name) very quickly fixed the problem without any of my guests noticing.
Long story short, choose Ruffled Feathers if you want a luxurious venue for your wedding. You and your guests will be pleased with your...

I had my wedding reception here on Christmas day. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Toby was accommodating in every way possible, especially considering we just booked two months before the event. We enjoyed the food and the facility is beautiful, especially covered in snow on Christmas! I would recommend this venue to anyone!

My husband and I held our wedding ceremony and reception at Ruffled Feathers, and we could not have dreamed of a better experience. Toby - the events director - was incredibly helpful from the day we met him and throughout the year-long planning process. The venue itself is beautiful; the golf course is clearly visible through huge picture windows in the banquet hall, and it provided a lovely backdrop for the event (and for pictures!). The service from the wait staff was above and beyond -- very friendly and accommodating. The space and the equipment is extremely clean, modern, and up-to-date. No scuff marks, chipped paint or flimsy chairs here! And, once again, I can't say enough about Toby. He made the wedding and reception run perfectly smoothly, and we trusted him completely to oversee the event. If I could add a sixth star to this review, I would - I cannot recommend Ruffled Feathers highly enough, as a wedding venue.

I would have my reception at Ruffled Feathers again! The food was great and the service was wonderful. Everything I asked for was done, and I asked for a lot! Toby is really laid back, which worried me, but in the end he pulled it off. My guests were very impressed!

I just had my wedding and reception at Ruffled Feathers on June 19, 2010. It was perfect from beginning to end. Toby is amazing to work with. He gave us such incredible service, was so flexible and made sure everyone was taken care of that day. The grounds are beautiful and my pictures turned out amazing. It was a warm day for the outdoor ceremony and Toby made sure there were cold bottles of water for all our guests. He brought drinks down for the bridal party during picture taking. He was terrific. The room is very pretty with a lot of windows overlooking their pretty grounds, with very neutral decor that allows for you to put your touches on it. The entire staff was so friendly and provided terrific service. The food was delicious and plentiful. Bartenders were quick, polite and kept the drinks flowing. I felt we got so much more for the money here than anywhere else we looked. There wasn't a thing I would change. After my experience I couldn't imagine having a wedding anywhere else.

The venue was nice and we got many positive comments on the food and venue from our friends and family. A week before our event we dropped off a cashier's check with our seating chart. When we arrived (on time), Toby was just sitting down at the bar to have lunch, I think he may have forgotten about our appointment which concerned me a bit. On the night of our rehearsal dinner, I got a message from Toby asking me to call him as he did not have a seating chart and wanted me to re-send it, this made me very concerned since the check was with the seating chart, he eventually found it (in our file) in time for event so that too was ok. The day of the wedding, my new husband and I walk in to see our name spelled wrong on the sign, after addressing this with Toby, it was corrected before any of our family saw. Also, we were about to cut our cake, the song is playing and we do not have the cake cutter...we asked a server to bring us anything to cut the cake but they diappeared until the song was almost over. I (the bride) ended up going into the kitchen myself to get a knife to cut the cake. After this I found Toby and discussed my concerns with him. Overall, I am pretty easygoing but the mishaps that occured could have easily been prevented. I still don't understand how our name could have been spelled wrong. The remainder of the night was great and everyone had a great time, if booking here, maybe just make sure all of your bases are covered before your event.

Toby and the entire staff at Ruffled Feathers were exceptional. Toby always returned my calls within 24 hours and catered to our every need. We had about 200 people at our reception and I had many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and smoothly everything was ran. My husband and I always had our needs met above and beyond anything we could have expected.

I cannot say enough great things about our experience with Ruffled Feathers. From the first day we met with Toby to the day of our wedding we knew we were in great hands. We initially were drawn to the venue because not only is the ballroom gorgeous, but we loved the fact that only one wedding takes place there per evening.
The staff was beyond accommodating to my husband and me and all of our guests the evening of the wedding. We decided in advance that we wanted to have dancing in between courses, and while we were worried that it may be difficult to properly time each course being served with the end of the music set, everything flowed better than we ever could have expected. We couldn’t be more pleased with Ruffled Feathers and would highly recommend it!

Ruffled Feathers was amazing!! Everything from the venue, to the staff, to the service we received was the best experience. The site was perfect for us.
We wanted something with an outdoor feel, and this venue was perfect. All of the benefits of being indoors with the feeling of being outdoors. Large windows align two of the walls, there is an outdoor patio for our guests to cocktail on, but if they got warm they could go inside to the air conditioning and a gazebo and grounds that was great for pictures.
Making the arrangements was actually a pleasure. Toby was absolutely amazing through the whole process. He walked us through selecting the menu, and I knew everything we discussed I didn't have to worry about! He went the extra mile in addressing all of my concerns so I could have a worry free wedding.
The day of my event went flawlessly! The food and service was amazing and I'm still getting compliments to this day!
