If you have ever dreamed of whisking your guests away to a place that feels like its own little world, where rolling hills, elegant architecture and warm Southern hospitality meet, Ross Bridge Golf Resort & Spa might be your perfect match. Tucked into the peaceful landscape just outside Birmingham, the resort does not simply host weddings; it creates full-weekend experiences that couples and their guests talk about for years.
“Ross Bridge is more than a venue; it’s a destination experience,” said Jonathan McKinney, Director of Sales and Marketing. With recent renovations that blend modern style and timeless charm, the property now feels even more like the storybook setting couples crave. “From the moment your guests arrive, they’ll feel like they’ve stepped into a storybook setting curated just for them; one filled with warmth, hospitality, and unforgettable moments.”
What makes Ross Bridge so appealing is how effortless it feels for both couples and their guests. Everything from the ceremony space to the farewell brunch can happen on the same beautiful property. That means no coordinating shuttles, no stressing about transportation, and no guests frantically entering addresses into their phones between events.
To help couples make the most of it, the resort’s team creates fully customized itineraries. “We often curate pre-wedding spa days for the bridal party, morning golf outings, and private poolside cabana rentals for relaxation before or after the big day,” said Melissa Chambers, Director of Catering. At Ross Bridge, you can create a unique experience to match your style, whether it be a round of golf with your girls, a bridesmaids’ tea, or a combination of both.
“Every touchpoint is designed to make your wedding weekend feel like a luxurious, all-inclusive retreat,” she said. It is easy to see why couples fall in love with that idea. With multiple spaces to choose from, Ross Bridge makes it easy for couples to shape their weekend exactly how they want.
For the main celebration, the Grand Ballroom offers soaring ceilings, sparkling chandeliers, and plenty of room for dining and dancing. If an open-air setting is more your style, the Outdoor Terrace is a standout spot for ceremonies, receptions, rehearsal dinners or even Sunday brunch. If you have a large guest list, this venue is perfect for grand gatherings.
Want something more intimate? Chambers recommends the Serenity Pool, complete with cabanas, firepits, and soft evening lighting, an ideal after-party venue under the stars. Each space can be transformed to match your style. (continued)
For couples wanting to round out the weekend with special activities, the resort’s team handles that too. “We specialize in creating one-of-a-kind experiences tailored to each couple’s vision,” said Rachel Pace, Event Manager. The team can also coordinate welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, poolside gatherings, and those lingering farewell brunches that guests never forget.
Because most guests want to stay on-site, Ross Bridge offers easy room-block options. Couples can reserve a set of rooms at preferred rates, and the staff handles everything from reservations to welcome gifts.
“At Ross Bridge, we want our wedding guests to focus on enjoying every moment while our ambassadors take care of every detail in between,” McKinney said.
When it comes to planning a celebration with a destination feel, Chambers had one final piece of advice: choose a place that feels like home for your guests. “Our all-in-one resort layout eliminates the need for transportation between venues,” she said. With so many amenities, it is easy to create a weekend that is seamless, authentic, and deeply memorable.
“Above all,” she added, “choose a venue that reflects your story.”
At Ross Bridge, celebrations unfold beautifully and wedding weekends turn into treasured memories from the moment guests arrive.
