Bandit's Ridge Reviews

First, I want to apologize for the delay in posting this review. Our daughter was married at Bandits Ridge on May 28, 2022. What a beautiful venue and Donna and Brad could not have been better host! From the wonderfully setup Bridal suite where the bridal party could hang out and be comfortable while getting ready. Bandits Ridge was a beautiful setting for the wedding in front of their home looking over the fields, the cocktail hour in the barn, and reception in the event space, everything was amazing! We were well taken care of and felt right at home as we went through the rehearsal and wedding day. Being able to use décor and table settings provided by Bandit’s Ridge made things so much easier for setup and cleanup for us. Our friends could not believe the beautiful setting and having such easy access. I would recommend Bandit’s Ridge to everyone! Loved it so much!

I give this venue 100 stars! This venue was everything we wanted and then some. Let's start with the friendly owners and staff, from day one they made us feel like the most important wedding to step foot in that venue. We knew immediately that was the place we wanted! They set you up for such success. They recommend the top vendors and my gosh they do not disappoint. We used their florist recommendation Florals by Jennie and believe me that girl will make your wedding an entire dream. They set us up with their venue coordinator, Angie, and she was a pure gift from God. She listened to all my thoughts, dreams, and desires and delivered a wedding reception that exceeded every expectation we ever could have had. I am literally teary-eyed writing this review thinking about how magical our day was. Take your fairytale dream wedding and then multiply that by 10 and that is what you will get here.

They went beyond just our wedding day too. Donna, the owner was available whenever I had a question, and boy did I have them. She was so kind and accomodating to me. We were able to use her venue for multiple pre-wedding photoshoots and they gave our engagement photos every eliminate we could have ever wanted. This is the kind of venue that just makes you feel good from the moment you walk onto the property! I truly cannot say enough good things about this. If you are looking for your wedding venue...RUN to this one! It will not disappoint.

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.

If you are looking for the picture perfect wedding, this is the venue for you! I couldn’t imagine having my wedding anywhere else. Between Donna and Nicole, my wedding went perfectly and I can’t thank them enough. Donna herself was a huge factor in our choosing of this venue because she is just a wonderful person. Donna and Nicole made my dreams come true and then some.

The first time I went to see the venue, I knew I wanted to get married there! My husband went the day after (A Saturday) and they were getting ready for a wedding, he saw how they put their hearts on what they do and immediately told me that we found the place to get married. Donna and her team are wonderful to work with, they went above and beyond to make our wedding day the most beautiful day of our lives. Our guests loved this beautiful venue and I definitely recommend it!

I haven’t even had my wedding yet and Bandits Ridge has made planning my special day so easy! I have full trust in Donna and her team! Highly recommend!!!

Bandit's Ridge made me and my new husband feel like part of their family. We didn't even finish the tour yet before I knew I want to have my special day here. This venue has so much to offer and it has options for both indoor and outdoor events. I personally had my ceremony outside-Cocktail hour in the stable barn-Reception in the big barn but the options are endless. I loved that this was a rain or shine venue- no matter my wedding was happening here. A HUGE selling point for me was that our guests did not have to bounce from one location to another to get to the next event. Cocktail hour and reception were all held at the same location as the ceremony. The Bandit's Ridge team helped mold my day into everything I had ever dreamed of and more. The venue is beautiful, the options are endless and the staff is wonderful!

We loved bandits Ridge and so did our guests. We had many of them tell us they would get married all over again if it could be there. Donna is an amazing woman and just a beautiful person. Our Christmas wedding turned out beautiful with our reds and silvers with the barn atmosphere.

Donna was great to work with, she got back to me in such a timely manner we had no problems what so ever. All of our guests LOVED the venue and raved about it well after the wedding.

My wife and I got married in October. It was a beautiful day and everything we hoped it would be. The place to get ready was very nice with a bathroom, kitchen, den and bedroom. The DJ recommended took a lot of our stress away. DJ Big had worked at the venue before and knew what to do. Donna Reynolds was easy to work with and let us get married on Sunday like we requested. She had the decorations we needed and the staff to serve the food and go get it. The venue is outdoors with a barn and a big indoor reception hall. It was windy so we were happy to have the reception hall to eat and dance in. Donna is very flexible and makes the whole experience comfortable while so many decisions are to be made.

Donna and her team were AMAZING! The venue is gorgeous and affordable. As an LGBT couple, we were nervous finding vendors, but within 10 minutes of touring, we knew Bandit's Ridge was where we wanted to be. Donna met with us multiple times beforehand and answered any and all questions. She added so many decorations to ours that made the entire event absolutely gorgeous. We can not recommend Bandit's Ridge enough!

Beautiful venue! Loved the day of! Donna & Brooke are wonderful to work with. Very pleasant, professional & all about making your day lovely, stress free, and fun. Would book this venue again hands down!

My husband and I held a Welcome Home party for our son which is currently serving in the US Navy. We are very pleased with the services and facility. Looking forward to using Bandit’s Ridge again.

We had an amazing experience with bandits ridge and Donna. They will do anything to make your big day a dream come true.

We absolutely love Bandits Ridge! I am sad our wedding journey is over with them. My wedding day was so perfect thanks to the help of the owners. They truly are the most caring people in the business. I recommend this place times a million for people to have their weddings here. You definitely get your bang for your buck at Bandits, which was so nice as we were on a budget.

Not even sure how to begin...there are not enough adjectives in my vocabulary to adequately describe the experience we shared with Donna and her team this weekend as our daughter married our son-in-love. She and Brooke think of EVERYTHING! From the beautiful landscape to the big barn comfort to the small barn quaintness to the cozy bridal dressing quarters, they go the extra mile to make sure everyone feels at home and makes the absolute best memories. What a joy to work with folks who love their jobs. It shows in everything they say and do. If you want to have a function that you can enjoy to the fullest with no worries, this is your venue!

We absolutely LOVED Bandit’s Ridge!! The owner Donna is the best! She was so helpful throughout the whole process leading up to and then the day of! She even let us come back for makeup pictures after our day was rained on. I can’t recommend them enough!

Absolutely awesome venue and owners!

Okay so the family that owns the venue is hands down amazing! They have such a great rapport with so many different vendors to help you on your big day! There is so much i could say but to keep it short amazing family. So helpful at all points of wedding planning and the venue was absolutely perfect. They accommodated us way more than we could have imagined! 10/10 will always recommend to brides to be!

Absolutely beautiful venue! Donna, her family and her day of coordinator, Brooke, were so sweet and helpful in making our special day perfect! I couldn't imagine getting through the day without them! They go above and beyond for their clients and love what they do and it definitely shows! Thank you Donna for everything you do!

I 110% recommend this venue to any bride and groom looking for the perfect spot for their big day! Donna, Brooke (the venue coordinator) and the whole family at Bandit's Ridge made my dream wedding come true! From the moment I met Donna a year before my wedding I knew their property was exactly where I wanted to get married! The grounds are gorgeous and so well kept. So many beautiful picture opportunities! She provides most everything you can think of to make your life as a bride easy, and affordable, including tables, chairs, china, a ton of decorations, wine barrels, linens, bonfire, games you name it they probably have it! Donna always answered my emails in a timely manner throughout the year of planning and allowed me to come multiple times to look at the venue and decorations to decide what I wanted to use.

The day of the wedding was so relaxing and not stressful at all. The bridal suite was perfect for me and my girls to come relax in and get ready with a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and plenty of lounge space and room for a large party. The men came and got ready in the reception barn in the groom/groomsmen rooms.

Brooke, Donna and the team set up everything for my wedding including the arbor decorations (with Brooke's personal and beautiful touch) the centerpieces, signs, food, etc. I did not have to worry about anything the day of the wedding. I was just as in awe as our wedding guests when I walked down the aisle. Despite giving them my ideas (including pictures) they went above and beyond! Every single one of my guests still rave about how perfect the venue was and friendly and loving the entire staff at Bandit's Ridge is!

Bandits ridge is a gorgeous venue! I had the best wedding with such a fun crowd! Donna is the sweetest and will help ease your mind that everything will be perfect! She offers a lot of the rustic decorations that made my wedding look fabulous! Choose this vendor--can't go wrong!!!

Great venue! All of my guests adored this setting and received many compliments on my venue choice...the owners are great to work with and the venue is very inviting! you will not go wrong. Choose Bandit's Ridge!

Donna is honestly a life saver. She will take your vision and turn it into a reality. I never needed to worry because she took everything and worked her magic. I could email her at all hours of the day and she would respond immediately. I can't say enough about her family and her beautiful venue. She truly made our day so special. If you truly want to see someone who loves what they do and shows it, it's her!! Thank you again!
