Ritter Farms Reviews

We got married at Ritter Farms in July of this year. Firstly the grounds are absolutely stunning - the mountains and fields make for excellent photos and the barn is simply gorgeous - you hardly need to decorate it, it's so beautiful on it's own. We went with Ritter Farms because not only is it an absolutely gorgeous venue, but the owners Bryan and Debi are so great to work with. We really felt like they knew what they were doing and were going to take care of us right from the start and throughout our day. Bryan was so incredibly helpful in advising us on our ceremony structure/music, rehearsal, schedule and coordination on the day-of- including coordinating with the vendors. I don't know how we would have done it without that thorough service that is included! And, Debi was so helpful and accommodating for all of our food questions. We did ice-cream with a toppings bar, and she and their staff organized and set it all up and were so flexible and accommodating with everything extra that we requested. We had salmon, spinach salad, potatoes, veggie pasta and rosemary chicken. Our guests raved about the food! We had a nice lunch of sandwiches (GF!), chips and fruit delivered to our respective cabins while we were getting ready, which was so perfect. We can't thank Bryan and Debi enough! They really know what they're doing and not having ever planned a wedding before, having advice at your fingertips was really priceless.

My daughter was married at Ritter Farms this summer, and we were all thrilled at how well everything turned out. The barn with the wagon wheel chandeliers and all the tiny lights was so charming and roomy enough to very comfortably accommodate our 155 guests with a large area for dancing. The outdoor setting with the willow tree and pond, mountains in the background and miniature ponies is beautiful. Bryan and Debi Ritter are lovely people who could not have been more accommodating and professional. They even offered to make any recipe we provided although we chose to stick with their usual options. We decided on the prime rib and vegetarian lasagna as entrees, and all the guests seemed to love the food. We rented houses at Suncadia for the weekend and had a great family reunion with our east coast relatives. Stan the Man, who offers transportation around the area, took all our guests wherever they needed to go after the reception. He only asks for donations. That worked out well for those who didn’t want to drive.
I would highly recommend Ritter Farms for any couple wanting a casual but elegant wedding in a beautiful, rustic, natural setting. Thanks to the Ritters for a wonderfully memorable event.

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding experience! My husband and I were looking for an outdoor venue for our summer wedding that showcased the beautiful PNW. We wanted to work with people who didn't seem to be in the "wedding biz". We toured several venues, yet we felt that it was all about the business of a wedding, not about the intimate party we wanted to throw for our family and friends. When we met the Ritters, we knew we wanted to have our wedding on their beautiful farm. Bryan and Debbie are great at what they do. Bryan is beyond organized, and a great communicator. Debbie and her team created tasty dishes that everyone loved. They made us feel so welcome, and it was easy for my husband and I to keep our eye on what really mattered... getting married! Planning our wedding at Ritter was stress free. Throughout our year of planning, Bryan gave us practical guidance. He had us out to the farm two times for a dinner tasting and final setup meeting.
We had our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner at Ritter the Friday evening before the wedding. Bryan seamlessly guided us through our ceremony practice. He was experienced and had great advice; yet he made it so we could have fun with it, and make it our own. Friday was such a fun day, dinner was fabulous, and we had time to set up the decor the day before. This made for less work the morning of the wedding. The bridesmaid and groomsmen have separate beautiful little "houses" to get ready in. Some of my favorite photos of that day were getting ready with my girls in that gorgeous space. The Ritter Farms team was working behind the scenes to make for a beautiful, dreamy experience. My husband and I would recommend this venue to anyone! Thank you Bryan and Debbie!

I was dead set on doing a barn wedding and my fiancé and I looked at several places. When I came to Ritter Farms I KNEW it was where we were getting married. It's the most beautiful property and it's about 1 hour out of Seattle so it's close but you feel almost like its destination. We loved that. The Ritters are SO easy to work with and are so helpful. They will do anything to make sure your day goes off with out a hitch. I greatly recommend going on a tour of this venue. Photos are gorgeous but the feeling you get being there is not something you can capture. Plus, with all the chickens and horses it's a children's DREAM! I'm so pleased that we selected this as our venue. I would recommend it to any bride :)

Debi and Brian Ritter treat you like family. They are the most flexible people on the planet, they care so much about each individual client are are very accommodating! We received so many compliments on the food and the beauty of the venue.

We got married this past June, and were beyond impressed with Ritter Farms.

I have been in and attended over 50 weddings, and was so impressed with the level of professionalism, coupled with the feeling of working with a family friend. The Ritters are lovely, and have so many things available to help make your day as you have always envisioned.

From the catering staff, the bartender, the flexibility, feeling like they are NOT trying to nickel and dime you, the amenities, space, and responsiveness in the planning procedure I was blown away.

The day of our wedding was more than I could have ever imagined. Much thanks to the Ritters for helping make the day I have dreamed of for years, beyond what I could have ever asked or imagined.

I would do it all over again, and chose Ritter Farms every time!!

Ps. I did tons of research before chosing them. Even though we are from Seattle area, it's such a beautiful short drive, and fun to make a weekend out of the event.

This wedding venue made our day completely stress free! We had no worry or care other then happiness. It was very organized and the food was a hit! All our friends and family still talk about our fairy tale wedding. The scenery, staff, organization, and friendliness of this location cannot be matched. I have photographed weddings at other venues and our personal experience here was by far the best I have seen yet. A must see!

What can I say!!! Ritter Farms is the place to have your wedding!!! We are so pleased with everything about that day!! Brian and the crew at Ritter Farms are amazing!!! The venue is so beautiful, the staff is so accommodating, the food was fantastic!!! You get so much bang for your buck here, you can't go wrong!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

Beautiful location. Great food. Professional staff. Very accommodating. Very happy with our Ritter Farms wedding!

My husband and I were recently married at Ritter farm in June and we cannot say enough great things about the owners, Bryan and Debi! They were extremely easy to work with and make a great team. We decided to have our ceremony in the field which was beautiful, but unfortunately, the quality from the venues mic and sound system could have been better. We held the reception in the barn, and our dinner menu included prime rib and salmon, both of which tasted great! Ultimately, I would recommend this venue to anyone as it truly made our dream wedding day come true!

We had a great time at our wedding. Venue was still fairly new at the time so we had a couple hiccups along the way but everything turned out and we had our perfect day!
