Bandit's Ridge
Polished Rustic Beauty
Named for the owners' quarter horse, Bandit, who lived out his last days on this gorgeous tranquil property, Bandit's Ridge has flourished into a stunning, zero-stress wedding venue. Great pride is held in providing a peaceful, welcoming landscape to host your celebration and couples often become like family to the owners, returning over the years for anniversaries and reunions.
Rustic countryside bliss pairs with thoughtful elegant spaces across the Bandit’s Ridge layout. From decor and floral arrangements to menus and entertainment, couples are invited to customize their day and to fully utilize the 2,800-square-foot indoor events facility and variety of outdoor ceremony spaces. Ceremonies can also take place indoors with a quick, easy turnaround flipping the space into a romantic reception for dinner and dancing. Open-air ceremonies unfold under a magnificent oak tree, on the barn's backside brick patio or on the manicured lawn overlooking forests and lush hills.
