Daniel's Ridge

I had my wedding at Daniel's Ridge on September 13, 2025 and it was a dream. The venue is beautiful and we had many positive reviews from the guests. Amanda was also extremely helpful and handled every little detail to create a seamless event. The whole team was organized, professional, and very responsive and helped create such a special day. I couldn't image a better place to get married!

My husband and I got married 3/8/25 at Daniel’s Ridge, and we could not have been happier with the way it turned out! Amanda & Todd are very attentive, helpful, and quick to respond! Amanda kept us on schedule and made sure all our decorations were in place. They also coordinated with the vendors to ensure they had the information they needed.They were very ORGANIZED and helped our wedding day dreams come true!! Amanda was so kind and made me feel beautiful as a bride! 10/10😊

We recently held our wedding at Daniel’s Ridge and it was nothing short of spectacular! The venue itself is breathtaking, with its stunning architecture and beautifully landscaped grounds Daniel’s Ridge provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. What truly set our experience apart, though, was their incredible staff. From our very first visit to the final send-off, every member of their team was professional, friendly, and genuinely committed to making our day perfect. Their careful attention to detail was unmatched; they ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to focus on celebrating with our loved ones. The owners Amanda and Todd, along with their entire team went above and beyond in every way possible. They made us feel like family. Every aspect of the day exceeded our expectations, from the exquisite decor to the seamless coordination of events. We received countless compliments from our guests about how stunning everything was even down to the most minute detail. We couldn’t have asked for a more stellar experience, and we wholeheartedly recommend Daniel’s Ridge to every couple looking for a memorable wedding venue. Thank you so much for making our special day unforgettable!

If I could leave Daniel's Ridge 100 stars I would! My Husband and I had a unique situation in which we were planning our wedding long distance from each other, and also neither of us live in Sanford. We actually had never seen Daniel's Ridge in person until the weekend of the wedding! With that being said... Amanda and Todd have established the absolute most BEAUTIFUL venue to get married. Amanda served as my coordinator and decorator as well, and I could rave for hours. We got married in the brand new Lacy Rose Open Air Chapel, and had our reception on the same property in their gorgeous venue. We planned the entire thing together over Facetime and I have never met a woman so good at her job. Every detail was perfect, she was readily available to communicate about any and all of our needs, the rehearsal ran seamlessly, and the day of the wedding was an absolute dream. I felt a complete calm on the wedding day knowing Amanda was running the show. The venue speaks for itself in beauty but Amanda is really the reason everything was so perfect. Her and her team have weddings down to a science and all of our guests just could not get over how stunning everything was. I had total faith everything was going to work out because of how incredible Amanda is and I would recommend her to any NC bride again and again and again. We will never get over our experience getting married on the most beautiful property we've ever seen! Choose Daniel's Ridge, and choose Amanda to be your Coordinator/Decorator. It was the best decision we ever made!

If you’re in search of a wedding venue, stop looking now! Daniels Ridge hosted my wedding this past weekend and it was beyond exceptional to say the least! We got so many compliments from our guests saying how beautiful our venue was. If you’re not a DIY bride or like the ease of not worrying about decor, I HIGHLY recommend Amanda’s decoration package. Her attention to detail is incredible and it was beyond worth the cost! Todd & Amanda —we cannot express how happy we are to come across your venue. Thank you so much for hosting our wedding and making it so special.♥️

Daniel's Ridge is one of my absolute favorite venues! I have photographed many weddings here and I'm blown away every time. They have so many great spots for photos, spacious getting ready suites, beautiful ceremony spots and a gorgeous reception venue. The owners are so kind and helpful to their couples and really want to make their day special. I cannot recommend Daniel's Ridge enough!

Stop looking. This is it. This is THE venue. Amanda and Todd are two of the kindest people you will ever meet with a breathtakingly beautiful venue. They were so accommodating throughout the entire process and turned our dreams into reality. Amanda's decorations were stunning and we received non-stop compliments from our guests. Our wedding truly felt like a scene out of a fairytale. We are so thankful for Amanda, Todd, and all of their amazing staff and would highly recommend this venue!

There aren’t enough words to express how happy I was with our wedding at Daniel’s Ridge. Todd & Amanda have truly created the most wonderful place to have your special day. They were both so accommodating. No question felt silly, or too big or small for either of them to handle. They helped me every step of the way - from vendor recommendations, to style ideas, to being there for me on the big day. The facilities are kept so clean and tidy, the grounds are beautiful. It really was the most perfect day at and a great experience working with Daniel’s Ridge.

Attended a wedding here over the weekend and everything was amazing! The location is beautiful. The open air chapel was stunning for a wedding. The weather was amazing, and the cocktail hour outside was wonderful. We had a wonderful time!

**BE CAUTIOUS** This is no doubt a beautiful venue. As per the other comments there unfortunately seems to be a pattern with the owners "hovering" amongst the guest and a severe lack of communication and professionalism. Short version is this place is not friendly to anyone with a handicap. Not guard rails on side walks/ramps. Only one bathroom available for guests to use and the men's only had I think 2 commodes. They had another party do a walk through during our rehearsal. I was belittled when I respectfully brought some concerns to the owners. The female owner just smirked and laughed when I brought my concerns to her attention. And the male owner Todd was about as short and unprofessional as they get. I simply asked if they could use the golf cart to take me about 15 foot in the grass (I am recovering from a 9 hour ankle surgery and can't really walk). Instead of showing empathy and explaining things in a calm manner, I was giving a sarcastic and rude response if "why would you want the golf cart to get stuck". First off, how does that response do anything but escalate the situation. Second, it didn't rain at all and was hardly an incline, and you driven it all over the property on much "rougher" terrain. It seems the owners are the dynamic duo of insulting their guests once they get their money. We also had guests who were not allowed to use the only bathroom there and I can't for the life of me understand why. We are all grown adults and people travel far distances to get here, just let them use the dagum bathroom. There were a number of issues with this place so I highly recommend only using this venue for pictures as there is a lot that needs to be fixed with how this place is run. Again this venue is gorgeous, but the attitude and demeanor of the owners was one of the ugliest experiences we have had.

Gorgeous venue, including both ceremony and reception space, surrounded by incredible nature and landscaping. My now husband and I felt so taken care of and at ease here. Amanda, one of the owners, was also my day of coordinator and she was absolutely incredible. She really made the wedding day so amazing and was so great at making sure everything ran smoothly and that I felt happy and stress free. It's so hard to find the words that will do it justice, but we (and all of the guests and vendors) were so impressed and I absolutely recommend Daniel's Ridge for anyone's special day. Huge thank you to Amanda, Todd, and all of the wonderful staff at Daniel's Ridge.

Daniel's Ridge is a beautiful venue but we wanted to give a fair warning about the coordination package as well as customer service. When we initially scheduled our visit to Daniel's Ridge in December (we live across the country so it was tricky), Todd and Amanda came across as very cold and we weren't sure if we had made the right decision in choosing this venue. You are also required to hire a month of coordinator and because we live so far away, we decided to go with the coordinator from the venue. The coordinator/co-owner of the venue, Amanda, reached out with a couple of questionnaires and we had a couple of calls but we feel that our money would have been better spent elsewhere for this service. They essentially organized the ceremony and connected us with a couple of vendors, but that was pretty much it. We were told the venue would set up our flowers for the arbor, but my fiancé and brother had to do this instead. There were other tasks throughout the wedding day as well that we feel the coordinator should have done, but my bridesmaids had to do instead. This includes passing out tips for the vendors and helping us to coordinate with the groomsmen, which we were later informed should have been done by the coordinator. Without our photography team, I'm not sure how well the ceremony and reception would have gone and I'm so thankful for them. We asked the venue about a military discount early on and they said that they could do a $500 discount if the coordination and decorating package were purchased together. We followed up a few months later and they said that this discount was no longer being offered, which we felt was a bit rude as we were never told that this was a limited-time offer. Finally, we felt that the other owner of the venue, Todd, was not very friendly and was hovering the whole night and we received this feedback from multiple guests throughout the night. As the bride, I almost felt like he was irritated with me and it made me feel very unwelcome, which isn't great after spending so much money on the venue. We believe that the venue needs to increase professionalism with coordination, organization, and customer service as everything came across as extremely ad hoc and messy.

Beautiful location with not so appealing staff. I would recommend this venue for pictures ONLY. The people who run this business need lessons on how to treat high-paying customers. The owner did not do much coordinating (even though it was mandatory to have her around?) and her husband Todd was lurking around all day and all night long. I could understand being there for a few hours in the beginning during set up or at the end during break-down, but for strangers and their "assistants" to constantly be around writing things down and making notes on how they were going to try to justify making their deposit back set a bad tone for the day. Also, not having many vendors to choose from regarding transportation put us in a tricky spot at the end of the night (Uber is listed, but has VERY limited availability down there! so do cabs, etc.., so be careful when planning and book a party bus (only other option, very expensive, and need to book waaaay in advance). The recommended caterer was delicious as well as delightful to work with.
