They've always treated me with honesty, professionalism, and respect. As the owner of Ready Set Go Co., I've worked with many production companies and event firms throughout my career, and Ampa has consistently been well organized, direct in their communication, and fair in their expectations. They value quality work and the people they hire. The management team has always been straightforward and easy to work with, and I've enjoyed collaborating with them on their projects. Based on my experience, I wouldn't hesitate to work with Ampa Events again or recommend them to others in the production and event industry.

From our first conversation, Andrew made me feel at ease. Not only is he a talented and knowledgeable event expert, but he's also fun and genuinely funny, which made the entire planning experience enjoyable and stress-free. Andrew was more than a vendor--he was a true collaborator. He listened to all my ideas, offered thoughtful insights, and helped shape every detail into something even better than I imagined. His sense of humor and positive energy kept things light, while his professionalism ensured that nothing was overlooked. On the day of the event, Andrew and his team were on-site going above and beyond to help ensure everything went seamlessly. Their props, supplies, creative input and especially the lighting completely transformed the space, giving it a polished and celebratory feel. I cannot say enough good things about Andrew and the Ampa team. They turned a potentially overwhelming project into a creative, joyful journey--and helped deliver an unforgettable event. Highly recommended!

Check in was quick and I was assisted to my assigned seat for the show. The earlier you buy tickets, the better seats you get. My reservation was at 1:30PM for the meal before the show that started at 2PM. There's a minimum of $15 for food and drink per guest. Got the spinach pesto tortellini and added chicken. It was okay; I think it's overpriced. 20% service charge is automatic; service was not bad but neither is it excellent. I enjoyed Patti Austin's show. I might come back for other artists.

Food wise - you MUST get the burrata e focaccia. Before heading to the airport we literally came back and ordered another one to go because we were all still craving it. For back story, we were a party of 19 (yes nineteen, so sorry!) and we accidentally made the online reservation for Saturday instead of Friday like we planned. We called the day of, and the host was so so kind and helped us still come on our friend's birthday Friday evening. Even though it was pouring all weekend, we had an awesome table set up out on the back patio which was covered, decorated, and had heaters going. It was so beautiful and comfortable despite the cold front. The service was phenomenal. Extra shoutout to Patrick and all of the bussers/food runners who helped our table. He gave us lots of food and drink recommendations and did not disappoint! Again, the burrata was amazing. Our favorite pizzas were also the pear & proscitto and the stakki Jo (with added hot honey). Will definitely be back if we are ever back in Richmond! xx

The bizarre experience at Brambly Park started right at the host stand. Despite having a…read morereservation and the restaurant having numerous empty tables, the host actually checked our IDs to prove we weren't lying about our name. I've had reservations in major cities around the world and have never been ID'd for a table--especially not at a casual spot like this. From there, they automatically tacked on a 20% service fee for essentially a DIY dining experience. Once the server dropped off our food, she disappeared completely, leaving us to fetch our own drink refills and making the automatic markup feel entirely unearned. The food was just as low-effort. My bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich was basic and came with no hot sauce options. My daughter's kid's spaghetti had a watery sauce that slid right off the noodles. The pear and prosciutto pizza was basically a lackluster flatbread, and it even arrived with a torn piece of a Piancone wrapper sitting right on top that the server completely missed. To finish it off, we had to switch tables immediately because our picnic table was filthy underneath, complete with bugs crawling up through the wood planks. Between the weird host interrogation, poor hygiene, lazy food, and unjustified fees, I'd highly recommend spending your money elsewhere.
