While there are some that argue that Mother’s Day should be celebrated every day because of all that moms do, us moms out there know that we don’t have time for a celebration every day because of all we do. However, one day a year that’s all about us? Well, I think most moms would agree that we deserve it! And what better way to celebrate than with a Mother’s Day Brunch.
To help you make your Mother’s Day memorable, we’ve collected a list of restaurants and local venues offering special brunches, buffets, and in some cases, dinner events designed specifically for moms. Take a look at our list, then be sure to make your reservations soon because spaces fill up quickly!
We hope that you’ll make the most of this Mother’s Day, whether you’re a mom or you’re celebrating someone who is. And in the meantime, we’d like to offer a special “thank you for all you do” to ALL the moms out there, especially those in our Richmond Mom community. Happy Mother’s Day!
