The perfect wedding

I cannot say enough about how perfect The Bull Run was for our wedding. Amanda and her team made for a flawless and gorgeous event. From the first tour, to the tasting, to the event, I don't have a single thing I would change. Amanda was so responsive and never made me feel like I was asking too many questions. She made us so comfortable and confident in our big day. We did our rehearsal dinner here as well and they made both events to special We will definitely be back for meals and the food is incredible. Highly, highly recommend them.

Our wedding couldn't have been more easy

Amanda is literally the best. Our wedding day went so smoothly. She was able to help us with every detail and is a pleasure to plan an event with. The bull run was the perfect venue, everything was perfect and my husband and I are both super happy with how our day went.

Perfection from 3k miles away

We are from Massachusetts but live in Washington and wanted to go back for our wedding to avoid the financial burden of flying and housing our guests. We are BEYOND fortunate to have found Amanda. She was an absolute angel (I told her that multiple times throughout the evening)! We were able to plan the entire thing from 3k miles away without ever having met her and it was relatively stress free...she did literally everything!!! Every time I had a question and started to stress her answer was almost always "I'll take care of that". She made our dream wedding possible on our shoe string budget, and we didn't have to do a thing except show up and have a blast. We got so many compliments on the food, the decor, and that beautiful bridge. Will update with more photos as we get them. Amanda...thank you ❤️
