Hello! I have no idea how you ended up here. You must've gone pretty deep into the Google results. Good for you! But please keep in mind this was written and published in 2008 and is most likely pretty out of date information! I'm still a photographer though, and you can still check me out at johngallino.com
I am very familiar with the Ramsey Country Club and highly recommend it. No, I'm not being paid to say that (yet). But really, it's a nice place. Built like a small castle, it's a good fit for a medium sized wedding. The exterior of the building is gorgeous, and it has a golf course quite literally in its backyard. You can take wonderful pictures on the course, and the light here is just perfect in the late evening.
One of the best things about the Ramsey Country Club is the outdoor ceremony. Unlike some places that set up some chairs any place they fit, the RCC has a designated area for outdoor ceremonies with stone tiling and tons of shade. Even on the hottest of days, the ceremony area is usually quite cool and comfortable for your guests. Shade, if you didn't know, is also great lighting for pictures--probably the most flattering you can get outdoors. The surrounding area is very lush and green, but walking down the aisle does involve walking down two flights of stone steps.
The cocktail hour is one of the weaker points. The room gets pretty crowded, and the food is average at best. It takes place upstairs in the building. However, when your guests come down, they'll be treated to a nice-sized room with great lighting during the day. Jackie, the coordinator of the club, really makes the place looks great and is the best problem-solver you could wish for on a hectic wedding day.
Things I don't like: the ballroom has a low ceiling, probably about the same height as the ceiling in your house. It makes lighting the room a bit difficult for the photographers. There is a small stage inside the wall for a DJ, but it's too small for a band which usually ends up spilling onto the floor. The bride and groom have to make their great entrance by walking down stairs, rather than walking through big doors like most places. These will be small shortcomings for some brides, but a big deal to others, so this is really the kind of place you want to see for yourself. And you'd be remiss not to have your ceremony here. It's one of the best features of the venue.
