Bandit's Ridge Winery & Event Venue — Attraction in Louisa

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 Dream Wedding!

Bandit’s Ridge is a beautiful venue that provides perfect balance in creating both a country rustic and fairytale wedding. The bridal little garden house is gorgeous to take pictures in (see photos). Everything was clean and prepared for us to relax in. And bonus, the bridal suite is also an air bnb! Another thing we loved about this venue was that the grooms cottage is right by the reception barn, so the bridal party had easy access to our own private bathroom. The coordinators were attentive to every detail, but more importantly they were extremely kind. I was so stressed about things not going according to plan, but they made sure everything was in place and made things work when they weren’t. And of course like any bride, I was so nervous I would trip and fall in my heels and big dress when about to walk down the aisle, but my coordinator for the day knew exactly how to get me out of my spiral. She offered kind words and made me laugh that completely changed my perspective. That is one thing I will always remember from my day. The owner, Donna, is also the funniest and most caring woman you could ever meet! She is willing to make anything work to make your wedding your dream wedding. She knows exactly what to address during your planning meetings and knows how to find all the deals on decorations! She also offers a closet FULL of decorations for you to use if you’d like. Bottom line, this team really cares about your experience and I can not say enough about how wonderful they are as people. Plus, the place is absolutely...

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 accommodating 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...
