The Dreamers
Meet the Owners, Monica & Robb:
Since 1998 Monica has been in the wedding & event industry. She started a full-service catering company, A Grand Affaire Catering, and also owned and operated the historic Fairview Club in downtown Seattle as well as Suite One Hundred in Tacoma. For over 18 years she provided off site catering serving countless venues and clients all over the Puget Sound region. In 1999 Monica & Robb met at an event she was catering and they were married within a year. When you meet the one, you know! Robb worked with Monica in the catering company in several capacities focusing on operations over the years.
In 2005, Robb followed his passion for cars and art by starting a custom car building company called GodSpeed Fabrication. He is still thriving in the business building race cars, restomods and custom vehicles of all kinds. Ravenridge is home to two custom trucks that love to pose with you for photos!
With a passion for the event industry and making dreams come to life, Monica & Robb, set out to create a beautiful and natural setting for life's memorable occasions. Monica sold her catering company to Duos Catering who, naturally, you can find on the preferred vendor's list, and began searching for the perfect location to create their dream event venue. In 2019 they purchased this lovely 5 acre estate and set out to create Events at Ravenridge. Monica also is an accomplished event planner and you can hire her to help you create a successful event here or anywhere in the region.

When not working Monica & Robb can be found hosting happy hour on the porch with friends, hiking in Banner Forest, or just strolling the pastures with their adorable goats and cats while taking in the serenity of this special place. They are excited to share the dream with you!
