Brunson Farms was a dream wedding venue! The owners are extremely nice and very easy to work with! They were very professional, and allowed me and my family to come to property earlier than planned due to weather. I recommend this venue for any outdoor/barn elegant weddings!!

I had my dream wedding at Palace of Riverbend! The expansive space left so much room for our wedding planner to work with! Our guest list was at least 300 people long, but the venue comfortably held everyone in attendance! We opted to use their in-house catering option, Las Trojas Catering, and the food was absolutely delicious! The getting ready space upstairs was beautiful and very functional! We had room for all of the ladies to have hair and makeup done without it being crowded. The living room area was perfect for my bridal party to eat breakfast and socialize while waiting for hair and makeup. We got to take lots of pictures and made so many great memories before our wedding ceremony! What I loved most about this venue is how much space is available! Our photographer and videographer were able to get so many stunning shots! Our wedding pictures and video turned out perfect! I am so glad that we were able to have our wedding reception at Palace of Riverbend! The venue’s event coordinator, Karen, was amazing! She worked closely with our wedding planner to make sure that every detail for our big day was perfect! We received so many compliments from our guests on the food, venue, and overall experience! I would highly recommend Palace of Riverbend for your big day! Photo Credit: Freeman & Co Photography
