Sunset Ridge Buffalo Farms

Sandy the venue own was wonderful. She treated us as family and was very helpful in other ways aside from renting the venue from her. I didn't have too much interaction with Jack however, I know he made sure the leaves were cleaned up and the tent and gazebo where set up as planned. This venue has so much character in itself very beautiful!

Sandy and Jack were wonderful to work with. They had a lot of advice and really made us feel at home and like family. They were very flexible and the venue is gorgeous. Our guests continue to comment on how beautiful it is.

I could not have asked for a better experience thanks to Jack and Sandy! My husband and I held our wedding ceremony and reception here 12, Sept. 2015. Their true southern hospitality and attention to detail made this such a great day for everyone involved in planning. Any questions or concerns i had, were immediately addressed. Most impressive was my concern for possible handicapped guests, to which Jack impressively built an addition onto their already existing bathroom facilities to accomodate. I was very impressed with not just his handy work, but by their response for my concern. We essentially used all that was offered at the venue, even the buffalo! Many of our guests enjoyed taking pictures of them in pastures and even enjoyed some tasty appetizers using the fresh ground bison they sell! At the reception, we were met with the most perfect sunset I have ever seen! That sight alone was exactly why I fell in love with this venue! Wish I could add a picture to this review!

Ours was the first Brunch Wedding at the Gazebo and we could not have asked for more support. It was a fantastic day and the scenery in he fall spectacular. Although we chose the venue because it was the one we liked the best, it was also the lowest cost compared to the other venues we looked at.

My husband and I got married at the Gazebo at Sunset Ridge Buffalo Farm in late September 2016. The venue absolutely lived up to its name; the sunset was insanely beautiful and we got some amazing pictures. The venue was perfect for the rustic elegance feel that we were going for. Jack and Sandy were so sweet and accommodating.

My wife and I had our wedding on the Gazebo on Friday, May 13th, 2016 and we could not have been happier! Getting married on a Friday was a little cheaper than a Saturday and it worked out perfect. The owners Jack and Sandy were beyond accommodating and were the some of the nicest individuals we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Everything was extremely clean and very well prepped for our ceremony. We had the wedding and reception on the deck and there was plenty of room for our family and 100 guests. The view of the pond and fountain was gorgeous and even a few of the buffalo came up to the surrounding fencing which was really neat.

If you are looking for an amazing venue at a good price with plenty of parking then this is your place. My wife and I definitely recommend to anyone no matter how simple or fancy you want to go with your outdoor wedding!

We go married here this past weekend and it was wonderful. Jack and Sandy were so great to work with and made everything really easy. The location is gorgeous! It rained on our wedding day and it was still really lovely. Our guest loved seeing (and eating!) the buffalo. Jack and Sandy put sides on the gazebo and tents so everyone stayed warm and dry and it was great. We had such a fantastic time and so did our guests and we would absolutely recommend Sunset Ridge as a place to have a wedding.

Oh my. My mouth dropped when I first saw this lovely space. There is gorgeous scenery for a backdrop to your ceremony and a beautiful tent that is so incredibly maintained for your reception. (If you've ever attended a bad tent wedding, you know what I mean!) And the owners are so lovely. Such a pleasure to have them on wedding day being attentive to client and vendor needs!
