As autumn’s colors began to settle, Amanda and Dominic chose The Villa at Ridder Country Club in East Bridgewater, MA, for their October wedding—a day marked by warmth, romance, and timeless elegance. The crisp air, the golden foliage, and the sweeping grounds of The Villa created the perfect backdrop for their celebration.
A Venue of Versatility & Beauty
The Villa is operated under the Saphire Event Group umbrella and offers multiple event spaces to suit different tastes and styles. Couples can choose from the Grand Ballroom, the Madera Ballroom, or an outdoor Tent / Pergola setting.
On the Villa’s grounds, ceremonies are often held on a manicured lawn adjacent to the tented reception area—the site offers seating for up to 250 guests for outdoor ceremonies. The tented cocktail and reception spaces, fire pits, and garden seating areas add charm and flexibility for indoor/outdoor transitions.
Venue packages generally include venue rental, food & beverage, coordination services, and in-house amenities.
Capturing the Magic: Amanda + Dominic’s Day
Amanda and Dominic’s wedding felt like a page out of a romantic novel. They opted for a refined, classic style with touches of fall ambiance—deep burgundy accents, soft candlelight, and elegant floral arrangements.
The ceremony was beautifully held outdoors among the Villa’s gardens. As the sun dipped lower in the sky, the light glowed softly across the grounds, adding richness to the video frames. After their vows, guests moved seamlessly into cocktail hour inside the Madera Room, with fire pits and lounge seating offering cozy corners for mingling.
The reception took place in one of the Madera Room—the warm wood beams, soft lighting, and elegant finishes made for an intimate yet grand celebration. Moments like their first dance, toasts, and candid interactions filled the evening with honest joy and emotional resonance.
