My (then) fiancé and I visited the Bending Branch Ranch first, toured 7 additional venues from DeLand, Oak Hill, Osteen, Daytona, New Smyrna, and other surrounding areas, and ended up right back where we started. Some of the amenities that were offered was really what set the venue apart. A lot of the venues we toured had little rooms for the grooms quarters or no grooms quarters at all. If they did, then more often than not the groom wasn't allowed use of the suite until a few hours before the ceremony. We wanted the day to be enjoyable for both him and I. Bending Branch Ranch also offered us a package including DJ, Photography, a stellar day of coordinator (shout out to Taylor), and a licensed bartender. They also have a decor room that's accessible to anyone who books with them free of charge. From the moment we booked, they were communicative and helpful. At the end of our wedding night we had guests telling us "Weddings are usually boring but this was a lot of fun". 10/10 would recommend.

g so many venues, you chose to come back to Bending Branch Ranch—it’s truly an honor to have been part of your special day. We believe both the bride and groom deserve an incredible experience, and I’m so glad the groom’s quarters and the other amenities made the day enjoyable for both of you. Hearing that your guests had such a great time and that we could help bring your vision to life is exactly why we do what we do.
It was such a joy working with you two, and I’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Taylor and the rest of the team. Thank you for trusting us with such an important moment in your lives. Wishing you both endless love, laughter, and happiness in this new chapter together!

This is by far the best and most beautiful farm wedding venue in Florida! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined because of the staff and beautiful grounds! Faith, our wedding coordinator who is also included when booking the venue, was amazing. She ran everything so smoothly, was super organized and was able to help answer any questions during the planning process. We seriously could not have had a better day without her. We loved all the extra touches including the donkey at cocktail hour and the little touches the staff did to make it the best night!

We had such an amazing experience having our wedding here on New Years Eve! First and foremost, the venue is STUNNING. Just about every single guest commented on how beautiful and unique it is. Second, if you are considering a more DIY wedding/venue, let me stop you right there. You do not realize how much you will benefit from an all-inclusive venue. Seriously there is so much that they handle that you would otherwise pay a fortune for if you were to outsource yourself at a more 'bare bones' venue. Even the day of the wedding I was shocked at how many people I saw running around setting up chairs, speakers, lighting candles, etc.. They take care of everything, and are extremely detailed and instructional with the aspects that you handle. I was a very OCD bride (lol) and our coordinator Taylor did an INCREDIBLE job making my vision come to life!! The entire BBR team are so kind, caring, and helpful. They truly care about making it the most magical day for you, and it really is the perfect place. I cannot recommend this venue enough!!

Choosing Bending Branch Ranch as our wedding venue was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and was perfect for everything we wanted. It is peaceful, elegant, rustic, modern, timeless, and you can see how much care and time the owners put into taking care of the venue. The owners, wedding planners, staff, and recommended vendors were so incredible to work with and made our day unforgettable. The location is so convenient for places to stay, places to eat, and accessibility while also being hidden away to give the quiet and peaceful atmosphere perfect for your wedding day. I could not give a more positive review and cherish our memories and wedding day at Bending Branch Ranch.

We got married on 12.7.24 and it was the best day of our lives! The first day we walked into the venue to tour, we were greeted by Oliverrrrr the barn kitty who came out to see us every time we went back after and obviously sold me right away because I’m a cat person (during our rehearsals, one of the boys were late and Oliver came out and stood in formation like he was stepping in and it killed me!!)! Holly gave us our first tour and as I walked around, I noticed myself sighing with relief and so much happiness. It’s such a beautiful venue, the barn, the ceremony site, the bride and groom suites, it was just utter perfection. Holly made us feel so comfortable from the beginning and even though we were not getting married for a year and a half, we could not stop thinking about Bending Branch Ranch so we booked it the following weekend. The venue comes with awesome partners - the photographer, DJ, bartender, and coordinator! That’s when we met the beautiful and wonderful queen Carie! Carie is on top of her stuff and she is sooooo helpful! Whenever I had any questions, she was just a phone call or text away. The contract said “day of coordinator” or “month of coordinator” (I can’t remember) but Carie was there throughout the whole year and a half. We also visited multiple times with family and our wedding party and she always met us and answered all of our questions. I’m a nervous person and Carie just always made me feel calm and heard. She offered amazing advice throughout the whole process and really made my vision come to life!! During (and now a week later)the wedding sooooo many of our guests have commented on how wonderful Carie was and what a great job she did. At one point, I was clearly getting tired of picturessss and here comes Carie with our signature drink and says “you look like you could use this” hahahaha it was such a sweet touch to her already amazing service. She really cares about the experience for everyone and it shows. It was crazy to relinquish control the day of but I walked out to the barn when I was supposed to be getting ready to check the set up and how it was going and it was better than I could have ever imagined. And she was nowhere close to finished at that time! Carie has an amazingly calming presence about her that even when I was running behind or wrapped up in other things, I never felt pressured or rushed and just always felt supported. My husband feels the same sentiments along with all of his groomsmen. Faith was also amazing! I met her the day of and she helped keep me on track. She even bustled my dress when the girls were missing 😭 At the end of the night, the owner was helping clean up and he even offered me a sweater because I looked chilly. lol. It’s just the small things. Thank you so much to you all!! I wish I was getting married again because I want to relive this day every day now hahaha. BEST VENUE EVER!! ♥️

r hearts. We are honored to have been a part of your special day and are thrilled to hear it was everything you dreamed of and more.
Oliver, our lovable barn kitty, truly has a way of stealing hearts, and we’re so glad he made you feel welcomed from the very first visit (and even filled in during rehearsal – what a star!). It’s wonderful to hear that the venue and all its details, from the barn to the suites, brought you such happiness and comfort.
Holly and Carie will be over the moon to read your kind words. Carie’s dedication, calming presence, and genuine care are what make her so amazing, and we’re thrilled that she played such a key role in bringing your vision to life and ensuring your day was seamless. Those small personal touches, like the signature drink, are exactly what we aim to provide for every couple, and it means so much to us that you noticed and appreciated them.
We’re also so glad that our team and vendor partners made the planning process smooth and enjoyable for you over the year and a half leading up to your big day. It’s those relationships and the shared goal of creating unforgettable memories that truly make Bending Branch Ranch so special.
Thank you again for sharing your experience with such warmth and detail. Your kind words mean the world to us, and we’re so happy that you have these cherished memories to relive. Wishing you and your husband a lifetime of love, laughter, and happiness! ♥️

The team at Bending Branch Ranch our responsive, professional, and just overall friendly. They have been supportive from day one of us planing our wedding and letting us know what we need or what we don't need. There offered decor that went beautifully with my center pieces my mother in law made. They were open to last minute changes and they never made you feel like a inconvenience. They were very attentive throughout the entire process. They asked what we wanted and then made sure they delivered. On my special day I felt and looked like a fairy princess, surrounded by lights that play in the nature in a natural way. We can't thank this team enough they truly gave us the dream wedding!

When our caterer messed up our dessert order, Joe was willing to leave the venue and go buy whatever we wanted for our guests! They truly do everything they can possible to make sure you have the best day. Carrie and her team were amazing and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way <3 thank you BBR!!!!

Couldn’t say enough good things about this venue. Taylor was our coordinator, and she worked SO hard to make sure everything went smooth and stress free (which was a big worry of mine).The owners Holly and Joe are also amazing people - you can tell they take pride in the venue and all their hard work that makes the ranch so beautiful. Joe was our officiant. He did so great at keeping it light and helping calm our nerves. We also appreciated how they allowed/encouraged our unique ideas throughout the planning process. Our wedding was a dream come true thanks to Bending Branch Ranch!

We always encourage couples to bring their unique ideas to life, and you two did that so beautifully. Watching your vision come together was inspiring, and it’s moments like these that remind us why we love what we do.

I don't even know how to fully describe how wonderful it was to get married here. The staff alone was incredible. Our wedding coordinator, Taylor, was the absolute best. She made our vision come to light. Not only was she great at organizing everything for us, but she is also the sweetest and it was wonderful to work with her. The venue pricing came with our photographer, DJ, coordinator, officiant, and bar tender. Not to mention they have so many decorations! If you've been looking for a ranch venue that is all inclusive please go visit. You will fall in love. And from someone who did not like the planning process, I can not say it was 10000% worth it. Thank you so much BBR family.

This venue is amazing! It felt like everyone who was part of the venue all came together to make our wedding night a success. We originally had our wedding scheduled for November but found out we were pregnant and moved the wedding to May. The venue gave us no problem with moving the date and worked with us to find a new date. We got the package (I recommend) and our coordinator Taylor is the best! My wedding day and the next day both our families were raving about how awesome she is and my mom even told me that she felt like Taylor was attentive to not just me but her also. Whenever we wanted extra time away at the bridal cottage or a break she was there to make sure that we got our break and the extra time we needed. She also reminded us throughout the night that we can take a break and made sure we didn't need anything or had what we needed. She also gave us a lovely gift the morning of our wedding. Carie, the bartender also made sure we had the correct estimate for our guests and we even had leftover beer we will use for the baby shower in a few months. The venue is also very beautiful and they already have lots of decor available for us to use so we did not have to bring too many things which I 100% appreciated. They also helped us pack and load stuff into our vehicles at the end of the night. We saw lots of different venue options and it was down to Bending Branch and one other place. My now husband was leaning towards the other place but after Joe walked us around I felt more comfortable there and knew we had to choose this venue over the other one. We had so many guests telling us the venue is amazing and my husband told me we picked a great place and he was glad I pushed harder for this one.

We would like to start off by saying that this venue is extremely beautiful!! The owners, Holly and Joe, are absolutely incredible and a wonderful couple. Two years ago, I proposed to my now wife, and while searching for venues, I stumbled upon Bending Branch. My wife is from Kentucky and I am from Puerto Rico (yes, completely different cultures and places, I know but that is not the point of this review) and I figured that this venue would incorporate most of the things from where she is from. As she was looking at other venues, I casually slipped this venue in her list of places to go see. When we arrived, after touring other venues, this place really checked all our boxes and meeting Holly was an instant connection. She really has that true southern hospitality and when we met Joe, it was the same.
We made the decision extremely quickly to go with Bending Branch especially since Holly and Joe made it extremely easy for us with the package deal that they provided. We have worked with Holly and Joe for the two years of our engagement and on the day of our wedding, everything was perfect and Holly and Joe's team made the day go by so smoothly and wonderfully. Thank you so much Holly and Joe! If you are looking for a venue and spectacular coordinators, we 100% recommend this venue and these two extraordinary individuals.

LOOK NO FURTHER! Hands down, best wedding venue!! We got married here last month and Holly literally made my wedding dreams come true! From the start she was responsive, flexible, accommodating, helpful, attentive, and A SWEETHEART! Her and Joe (the owners) are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. The property is well kept and just so beautiful. I toured so many venues but this one took the cake. Any questions I had in the process, Holly was there to answer ASAP and if she didn’t know, she sure found the answer quick. Wedding planning is already so stressful but she honestly took so many burdens off my back because of her knowledge and willingness to help with whatever she could. HUGE bonus they have SO much decor you can use which is nice because we all know it can be so expensive. Also, what I loved is that I visited the venue every few months leading up to the wedding to go over our check list etc so it kept everything organized and everybody on the same page. Carey the bartender - a freaking doll. She knows her stuff and was almost spot on suggesting what we needed to buy for our open bar as far as alcohol and garnishes. Tony (photographer if you go with their package) UHHMAZING! He is so attentive to the bride and grooms needs, he has such a great personality, super talented/knows his stuff, and I got sneak peaks TWO days after the wedding! Overall, such wonderful people, wonderful venue, which made for such a wonderful, memorable day! Thank you Bending Branch!

I don’t think we can put into words how much we loved Bending Branch Ranch for our wedding venue. We tied the knot on 2/9/24. Not only do you get a wonderful place to get married you also get an amazing couple to help you plan it all! As soon as you pull into the driveway and fallow the path you feel like you are somewhere else. I couldn’t get over how peaceful this place is. They offer a package deal to help take most of the work out of planning. The photographer, and DJ are just as amazing is this venue is. They all really work well to together to make your day as smooth as possible. Holly was our wedding planner and we couldn’t have been happier! She makes you feel so special. I loved her sense of humor, and her ability to calm me down when I started to over think! She has a plan for everything and any situation. We can’t thank her and her husband Joe enough for making our day so special. Our guest are still talking about how beautiful this place is. This place is a must see!

BBR, what an incredible Wedding Venue! From the day we walked onto there property to do a tour of the venue we knew it was the place to bring our Wedding to life!!! Holly, Farmer Joe, and our coordinator Jessica were unbelievable from the beginning, to days after our wedding!!!
The 3 of them brought our Winter Wonderland Theme to life in Florida!!!
Jessica did an absolutely amazing job keeping everything organized, clean, and looking amazing from our rehearsal to the very last moment of our wedding day (2.2.24)! She also had the help of Holly, Farmer Joe and a few others to keep everything perfect!!! With that we thank you all and wish you all nothing but the best!!!

Words can’t even describe how amazing the bending branch ranch is.
Ashley… MY GIRL, she knew exactly what I needed the entire time before I even knew what I needed. The entire night ran so smoothly nothing went wrong and even if it did she handled it perfectly and I had no idea. She became more than just my coordinator, she’s someone I want to keep around forever! So much love for her and beyond grateful for everything she did for us!
Carrie the bartender was simply amazing she helped so much when it came to amounts and recommendations on anything! No matter where I wanted the bar to be or if wouldn’t work she would try just to make sure it happened for me regardless!
Cona images was simply the best!
Tony knew exactly what mike and I had envisioned for our big day, knew how to handle everybody and make sure everything ran perfectly.
Holly and Joe are just simply amazing people… they’ve created a beautiful place for our big day, our early in the morning making sure the venue looked absolutely beautiful for us, Joe even snuck in for a few pics with the girls ;) LOL
These people and this venue will forever hold a special place in our hearts!
We love bending branch ranch and every one attending !

Holly and Joe bought the venue after getting married there themselves, and you can tell. They’re both so passionate about the wedding experience that the couple and their guests experience. Holly was a stellar coordinator and did everything right to ensure that we experienced the wedding day of our dreams. We solely followed her recommendations for vendors and were blown away with each of them, from photographers to caterers. This venue and its owners are truly special, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience from planning all the way through to our wedding day. 11/10

Holly, Joe, Carrie, Jessica, and our other vendors were absolutely incredible and made this brides dreams come true. My husband and I were stress free and they went above and beyond all of our expectations. Most importantly, this venue knows how to have fun!

We absolutely fell in love with the everything about Bending Branch Ranch, from start to finish everything so so smooth and perfect. The owners Holly and Joe and Ashley our coordinator went above and beyond to make our day amazing. We went with the bundle that included the coordinator, photographer, bartender and DJ, let me tell you… DO IT! They recommend the absolute best people and they work so well together. I had no stress planning, Ashley took care of literally everything. The place is huge, so many great photo opportunities, my bridal party was HUGE and we had our own houses to get ready in (not little rooms like most places). It’s hard to put into words how amazing our day was because of them.

My husband & I got married at bending branch and we had a stellar experience from the time we toured until our wedding date! The staff/owners are so accommodating and the sweetest people. They truly care about your wedding as if it were their own! Our coordinator Ashley helped with our vendors, our idea & any wedding questions we may of had!! All we had to do was show up on our wedding day, with no stress and the venue was ready for us! The property is stunning, no details go missed! There were so many beautiful places for pictures. Overall we couldn’t have picked a better wedding venue, we’re lifetime BBR fans!! ❤️

I don’t even know where to begin other than saying this venue is incredible! The staff is phenomenal to work with, the venue itself is gorgeous and the overall experience was near flawless. Holly, Ashley, and the team did all they could and then some to help put our day together perfectly and then on our day they did everything to make sure it was executed beautifully. I can’t speak high enough of the team and the venue. We had an amazing experience from day 1 and are so happy we chose BBR!

There is not enough great things I can say about Holly, Joe and the Bending Branch Family!! For one, this venue is stunning!!! So many of my guest were just as in awe over the beauty of this place. Let me talk about Holly & Joe (owners)... these two make you feel like you are Family. They made Aaron and I feel as if our day was just as important to them as it was to us. You are not just 'another' couple. Holly worked closely with my wedding planner and mom to make sure it was EXACTLY what I wanted. She took the time to understand my vision and made it come together with a smile. They are so genuine and really want nothing more to have a 5+ star experience. Holly & Joe, I know I said this before but you both will always hold a special place in our hearts. This was over a year of planning and it was worth it. There was no stress (for me - I should clarify 😂), no drama and our day was absolutely perfect! Thank you so so much!! 💓

We’re so happy that you guys loved your wedding day with us. We have the best day celebrating with you!!

Look no further for a rustic but beautiful wedding venue! The owners Holly and Joe handled every detail perfectly! As the bride, I was able to coordinate everything with them and they executed it with such professionalism and care…I didn’t have a care in the world other than marring my best friend on our wedding day! The property itself is gorgeous, with a beautiful bridal cottage and wonderful grooms house. Our reception in the barn was perfect…plenty of space for all of our guests to dance and celebrate! Cannot say enough good things about our experience!

Bending Branch Ranch was absolutely wonderful to work with! They stay in touch, answer all your questions, and are so flexible to help meet your needs/dreams! The venue is beautiful, you get the entire day to set up and celebrate, there are entire houses on property for both bride AND groom to get ready with their parties, everything was just above and beyond other comparable venues in a 2 hrs radius. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for a venue that will wow your guests and where the owners are so amazing you want to be best friends with them, this is your place! I accidentally found this place when I was looking for a barn style venue 2 years ago and can I just say I was amazed. It has an enchanted feel with a low key vibe. Holly, Joe and their mother run the entire venue and were absolutely on top of everything through the entirety of the planning process to the day of. They kept me organized as to what I needed to have completed and so much is included in your price! With the payment, it included the ceremony outdoor area, cocktail area in front of the barn, and huge barn for the reception. Additionally, they have cute areas surrounding the barn like a pond with fountain, bonfire, beautifully lit up outdoor living rooms and oh my gosh so many picture spots! I had soooooo many people say this was the best wedding they have ever been to and I can honestly say it was due to the event coordinators there. Day of I felt so supported by them and it was so fluid there was zero stress. Holly, Joe, and their mom checked on us frequently to make sure we were ok. The other amazing part of this venue is there is a girl suite and a guy suite to get ready in which are decorating so adorably. I had one vendor mess up that was separate from the venue it was a keg van that has beer taps off of the side and when I say Holly was on top of it to make sure I got what I wanted from that vendor I mean it. The keg van (separate from this venue) forgot to pick up the kegs and I automatically started getting nervous and Holly jumped right into action and was able to find local kegs we could use. These guys deserve any award for their work they do because they went above and beyond. My now husband even stated to me verbatim "those guys made me feel like a king that day they kept checking on me making sure I was taken care of" and that sums up how I feel as well. One of my favorite parts was when my husband and I were getting our pictures taken and we strolled over to the horse they have away from all of the guests and Holly and Joe came over. We chatted for awhile and reflected on what has happened and they just know how to keep you calm and they are just such great people. We all took pics together because I want to remember them for forever for how amazing they were with making our wedding perfect. There is nothing I would change and I only have this venue to thank for that. I wish I could do this day all over again because it was such a stunning location with the greatest people. Highest recommendation ever!

There are so many things I want to express and communicate to you and Sam ...
regarding your event and I’m hopeful I can thoroughly convey how absolutely incredible you guys and your friends and family truly are!!
For starters, we will be friends forever!!
Secondly, thank you so much for loving us and the property as much as you did!
My goal and intention with this exceptionally beautiful space, that I married my best friend at, Is to share it with amazingly wonderful couples and have them experience the same joy that I felt and know the venue offers!
From the beginning, you knew I had your back,
There was nothing that was going to mess with your day - not-a-thing!
I really did love and value the short time that we spent together by Sox, the horse, during cocktail hour, I felt like it truly gave us a moment to be present and be thankful and appreciative for what a magnificent day it truly was!!
I adore and love you and Sam!!
Joe and I wish you a lifetime of love, happiness, laughter and joy! 🥰

Where do I start. From the moment I drove on to this property I fell in love. 10 acres of absolute beauty. 2 homes on the property- a bridal and groomsmen suite
Then there is the barn!!! This is simply the most beautiful part of the entire property.
We met with Holly and Joe (the owners) and immediately fell in love with them both. Holly is the sweetest, kindest, most thoughtful, super organized and the biggest and best BOSS LADY I know. Her energy and happiness is infectious.
After touring the property we immediately stopped our search for our venue and book with Holly at BBR. The entire 6 months of planning up to our event was supported by the BBR team and Holly.
The day of the event I woke up to a good morning text from Holly which just made me super excited and feeling super confident in how perfect my day was going to be. And perfect it was.
The entire event flowed according to plan and was absolutely perfect. The entire crew made every move look flawless and easy.
Thank you Holly, Joe and the Bending Branch Ranch Team.
My day was EPIC because of you.

We are so thankful we chose Bending Branch Ranch as our wedding venue! We would highly recommend it. The owners and coordinator were quick to respond to all of our questions leading up to the day and accommodate everything we needed to make the day special. The venue itself is stunning and the pictures don’t seem to do it justice. Our guests loved it, we loved it, and I would recommend it to any and everyone. This is easily one of the best venues there is!

WOW! My husband and I could not be happier that we chose Bending Branch Ranch as our venue for our wedding. Kelli and Holly are both SO helpful and easy to talk to. I never felt like I was bothering them with any questions, they were always available to answer anything I needed. The venue itself is SO gorgeous, you really don't need to add much more to it for your special day. I am so grateful we chose BBR, Kelli made it so much easier for me and the place was just breathtaking. If you are looking for a venue, look no further, this is the one for you.

My husband and I just recently got married at Bending Branch and it was PERFECT! The venue is absolutely stunning and everyone we worked with was amazing! Holly and Joe, the owners, are the sweetest people and were very responsive any time I had a question. Kelli, the month of coordinator, was just great! I was constantly reaching out with questions and she was always happy to help and the day of, she was great! We didn't have to set up anything which took so much stress off of me and my family so we were able to just enjoy the entire day! HIGHLY recommend this venue!

Wow, where do I start!!! Bending Branch Ranch is a venue you NEED to see in person. Pictures don’t do it justice. We had our wedding here 11/13/2021 and it was hands down the BEST DAY EVER. The owners Holly and Joe are genuinely the nicest people you will ever meet. They are quick to help, always responsive if you have ANY questions, or concerns they are a text or phone call away!! Every detail I wanted was met, and executed perfectly…nothing I said went unnoticed. On our wedding day the chance or rain was high and Kelli & Holly made sure to have a plan incase it didn’t clear up. I was determined to have my ceremony outside and the two of them made it happen!! The weather turned out to be beautiful and better than I could have expected! Hands down would not have wanted our wedding any where else besides here. I wish I could get married 1000000x over again at Bending Branch Ranch!

The best venue there ever was. 💕Between the beautiful property and the MOST organized, passionate owners/wedding coordinators, you really can’t dream of anything better for your big day. Kelli, Holly, and Joe were on top of everything and went above and beyond to make the day go smoothly and beautiful. The little details and their positive spirits is what I will remember the most.
I can’t thank BBR enough and hope all my friends will get married there so I can keep coming back.

The most beautiful property to have your wedding. We had our daughter's wedding there last weekend and it was perfect. All our guest raved about how beautiful the property was and how perfect everything turned out. The owners Joe and Holly were very accommodating and made sure all our concerns and wishes were handled. Kelli our coordinator was top notch. She worked so hard and never stopped the entire day till everything was perfect. She worked hand in hand with all of our vendors in coordinating and setting everything up. Ashley the other coordinator who helped was amazing as well. I can honestly say I enjoyed every aspect of the day as a MOB without worrying about how smoothly things were going to run. They took care of everything! They made this day one of the best days of my families life.

My husband and I just had the pleasure of having our wedding at Bending Branch. We have been waiting for this day for TWO years and it was beyond our expectations. Holly and Joe were there with us planning every step of the way. Holly made sure to make our day absolutely perfect without even breaking a sweat. She is a BBR bride herself and knows exactly how to make dreams come true. From texts and calls to decorations, making last minute changes and adding little details I never even thought of. Our day of coordinator Kelli was organized, sweet, calm, and kept the night running smoothly. Thank you, thank you. Thank you!

Bending Branch Ranch is the most beautiful wedding venue. Holly and Joe are my absolute favorite people. They were SO helpful and accommodating as my wedding was booked before they took ownership and then with everything going on with Covid. They were super willing to work with me, all my ideas and were on top of everything that had to get done. Our wedding day was everything and more and it wouldn’t have been anything close to what we had if it wasn’t for them! Holly and Joe really take their time to get to know you and work with you so that your vision comes to life and I was absolutely blown away on our wedding day. This property so versatile and all the additions they have added take it to the next level. Not many venues have the amenities Bending Branch Ranch does and that is what puts them at the top!

Let me just start by saying it has been one heck of a journey with Bending Branch Ranch… The old owners had no clue what they were doing to the point where I almost thought about finding another venue, but love the location and all that the venue had to offer. Once Holly and Joe bought the venue it was nothing but smooth sailing. They were super responsive and attentive. They were super willing to let me check out the venue on a couple of occasions and kept me posted on any progress of the barn. Even day of they were slinging drinks and cutting limes to help the bar move a little faster. Overall great experience with this venue and cannot say enough great things about these two.
