The Bull Run Reviews

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.

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.

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 ❤️

Amanda was amazing to work with. She made everything so easy for us. We had so much fun and our day was perfect!

Amanda & Ashley were absolutely amazing for my wedding reception dinner. I would recommend them to anyone who was looking to have a wedding/dinner at the Bull Run!!

Update: We had our wedding party on 10/2 and it was beyond words! Everything was perfect and better than I imagined pre Covid. Everyone raved about the food and how much of it there was and how delicious. Amanda was fabulous! She has her timing for weddings down perfectly. Everyone said how the timing was the best timing they have ever had at a wedding! There was no lull and things moved along perfectly.

We didn’t have to worry about a thing! You made my dreams come true this making our dreams come true :). Thank you!!! 💞💞💞

There isn’t enough words to describe our experience with The Bull Run as our wedding venue! We booked our 10.3.2020 wedding in Jan 2019. Amanda is amazing from the moment you meet her! She is responsive to questions and none are too silly!

We had our fabulous tasting and had planned to meet in March for table landscape. That was before Covid...who would have expected any of what has transpired in 2020?!? No one! In all the unknown Amanda continued to answer my questions and concerns even when I assume she was not working at the time. She reassured me and made sure I was ok.

We sent out our save the dates and hoped our wedding would go on. But like the rest of 2020 nothing is following a schedule. I was so sad and torn. I wanted our wedding date and music and videographer to capture moments of love and happiness. We decided we would postpone.

Until Amanda said they are offering brides to keep their date and have a small ceremony only at no extra cost. Or we could have a small ceremony and reception with all the precautions. My heart soared at the possibility of having our wedding ceremony as planned (sort of).

I called all my other vendors and the date and time would still work. The guests were family and very close friends, but we had our DJ, our videographers and photographers there.

Amanda was amazing throughout the process and she just said we will make it work and it will be beautiful! She was absolutely correct!

We got married on 10.3.2020 under the twinkle lit bridge. Amanda was right there helping and doing anything she could to help. I didn’t worry about a thing! She made sure we started at exactly 2pm per my request ;)

There are no words for how amazing the whole experience was from the start! We can say one thing...we can’t wait to do it again in 2021 with our original guest list! So we get to work with Amanda for another year!

I highly recommend the Bull Run for dinner, events, concerts etc!

We are a queer couple who wanted to feel 100% free to be our authentic selves throughout the wedding planning process. We looked at several venues and left each one feeling discouraged until we found The Bull Run. We were immediately charmed by Amanda and her welcoming personality. The vibe is a totally relaxed, family owned, friendly atmosphere where we felt completely at ease. There was so much flexibility offered in pricing and in scheduling (with Covid you never know what could happen but they were willing to work with us). The event itself was pure magic. From the covered bridge to the delicious food. With Amanda in charge we didn't worry about anything and were able to focus on having the best day ever. We couldn't imagine having a better experience and will continue to hold The Bull Run in our hearts.

My husband and I are so thrilled that we were able to have our wedding reception at the Bull Run! The venue, the food, the staff, the outside vendors we worked with through the Bull Run's recommendation, were all far above our experiences with other weddings we've been to. Every single guest was very complimentary on our good judgement in choosing the Bull Run! Especially, Amanda, the coordinator, was outstanding. She was responsive, flexible, had the patience of a saint, and was full of wonderful ideas. Our original plan was for May of 2020, but when covid hit that plan needed to change. The Bull Run staff worked with us every step of the way, and the result was a fantastic reception this past July. Thank you all so much!!

Venue was beautiful! It was 70° in early April! How could we complain?
The room, food and bartender we perfect!
We couldn't have asked for more!
Thank you again for a perfect day!

Amanda and her staff were amazing. I cant say enough about them.

The Bull Run is definitely a hidden gem! We fell in love with the covered bridge and the twinkle lights and Amanda the wedding coordinator! The entire process was easy and seamless--much in part due to Amanda!--we never had any worries about anything going smoothly. The food was fantastic. The atmosphere was wonderful and that bridge and those lights are magazine worthy! Love, love, loved it.

My wedding day here was more perfect than I could have ever imagined. Amanda was amazing to work with and she was very accommodating and kept my mind at ease! She really nailed everything I asked for and made sure everything went as smooth as possible. Would highly recommend if you want a stunning, rustic wedding!

Thank you!

Choosing to have my wedding at the Bull Run was easily the best choice I have ever made! Amanda was amazing. She is a fantastic person, and really really knows her wedding stuff. She was extremely flexible and willing to let us to basically design our own dream wedding (with her help and expertise of course!). We were on a budget and they were so understanding and worked with us so we could get the most out of our wedding experience. The prop room Amanda has with stuff from leftover from other weddings was a godsend and helped me create my dream centerpieces. The food was delicious (from the few bites I got any time to try, but I was told it was amazing). They even helped us do an ice cream sundae bar - so fun. We had a family emergency the month of our wedding and my fiance's mother was in the hospital, and The Bull Run (Amanda in particular) was really amazing. We dropped off everything we needed the day before the wedding and she set it up perfectly as we planned. I would have never known where to start when it came to planning a wedding, but Amanda knows her stuff, and The Bull Run gave us the wedding of our dreams. I really would highly recommend this venue to everyone.

My husband and I had the most perfect wedding day. The Bull Run was beautiful, affordable and just what we were looking for for our small intimate wedding. Amanda was amazing to work with and I would recommend her in second. I wish we could do it again!

Amanda was very easy to speak to and highly competent. She was always in a great mood! We were not very stressed during our wedding planning experience and she had a lot to do with it. The wedding itself was fantastic. We chose The Bull Run because it was the most affordable option that could host our whole family, but in no way would I say we sacrificed quality for a good price. The food was fantastic. Everything was decorated beautifully and the staff were wonderful. I recommend their wedding services without hesitation.

We had so much fun! Amanda was professional and made our day perfect. She arranged flowers from trader joes on the day of the wedding and they looked great! So Amanda was our wedding coordinator and florist. Haha. Also, when there was difficult with the music (we used our phones), she fixed the issues immediately. The food was excellent and the space was perfect. We couldn't have been happier! Thanks Amanda and the staff at the bull run!!

The Bull Run went above and beyond what I had expected. Amanda the amazing coordinator is amazing and will become your best friend in a matter of moments. She’s the most organized person I have ever met. She ensured from start to finish that everything was as perfect as it could be. The food was five stars and definitely was the talk of the evening and people are still talking about (Try the mashed potatoes and the salmon!) our wedding day was truly magical because of the bull run and I couldn’t thank them enough.

Amanda Davidson and the staff @ Bull Run really were top notch and very accommodating as we made our wedding plans. We had an amazing day and it was as perfect as we could have ever imagined. The food was delicious and the Garden room/patio was elegant and exactly what we wanted.

WE LOVE THE BULL RUN!! We choose The Bull Run for our wedding because we go there for Sunday Brunch. The food...AMAZING! The staff...AMAZING! The ceremony on the covered bridge...AMAZING! The reception room was set up exactly the way we had discussed and Amanda made the personal touches reflect exactly who we are. We had the best day EVA!!! Thanks to Amanda and everyone at The Bull Run for making our wedding day PERFECT!

The Bull Run is a fun and unique venue to have a wedding, the Covered Bridge is especially wonderful for a ceremony and pictures. Amanda, the coordinator, was fantastic throughout the whole process. She was always ready to offer advice and help with finding creative ideas for the wedding. The owners are friendly and attentive, and the venue as a whole is very flexible and accomidating. The food was great and the event packages have a lot to offer. I would highly recommend this venue.

We can’t complain about this venue or our awesome coordinator at all!!! Amanda was amazing to say the least! She answered every question we had, helped every step of the way, and made us and our families feel important!! Not to mention, the food and atmosphere is outstanding!!! We still are receiving calls about it! If you love clam chowder, then this is the place for you!! You definitely get your money’s worth, and feel not just like an object, but valued individuals! The Bull Run is the place to go if you’re looking for great food, fun, and a family feel :)
We will be back for food in the future!

Honestly this is the best vendor by far! I had the best reception all thanks to Amanda. Amanda was so kind and made sure everything went perfectly. She answered all and every question I had. She goes above and beyond. I highly recommend this place and they are fairly priced.

Amanda was such a blessing to work with in the midst of wedding planning stress! She made everything so easy for us, answered all of our questions (big and small), gave us her opinions, and was super responsive. Her energy and optimism put us at ease and we felt that she truly cared about making our wedding day as special as we always dreamed. The best part was that Bull Run was extremely affordable - to get prime rib at the same price as chicken is unheard of, plus the cake price is included, and the Sawtelle room is formal enough for a wedding but casual enough where people feel comfortable. I would recommend this venue to anyone for their wedding.

I'll be totally honest our wedding was amazing! They really went above and beyond for my husband and I. Amanda is simply amazing at what she does!

Everything was great. We got so many compliments on the food! The only thing that was a little disappointing was the fact the outside speakers to the patio did not work. We had planned on using an ipod for music ipo a DJ since our wedding was about 30 people including us and it was a little tight in the garden room. If I would have known I probably would have hired a DJ for dancing. All in all, you can't expect everything to go perfect and it was a small hiccup on our day. We captured our special day, family and guests had fun, and so many people raved about the food .
