Wedding dreams come true at Bandit's Ridge!!

I cannot tell ya'll how blessed we were to work with Donna and her team. I met Donna at the Richmond Wedding expo in January 2020 and my mother and I were blown away by how much they had to offer, their professionalism, and their southern hospitality. Donna and her team bring that elegant southern charm to everything they do and it made our special day perfect. Throughout COVID, she was responsive and there to calm my anxiety, giving the best advice. We had an absolute blast at our rehearsal dinner and she even let me use a steam engine on the property for my wedding entrance. The cocktail barn and reception hall are beautifully done and there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. I cannot say enough good things about Donna and her team and I am forever grateful to have gained such an awesome friend for the best day of my life.

Where do I even begin with Donna and Brad?! My goodness they have to be the sweetest and most accommodating venue owners out there. We came out to tour the venue on multiple occasions and they were there to greet us each time with smiles on their faces. Donna answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Brad helped setup and breakdown our rehearsal dinner which was a dream. They were both present on our wedding night and they also made sure things ran smoothly. They treat you like family.

We also had the pleasure of working with Jasmine as our wedding coordinator. She was amazing! She is thorough and very good at what she does. She is so kind and willing to help!
