Our wedding was a dream come true! Skyler, Sydney, John and their team made the entire planning process fun and exciting and they truly cared about making sure we made our perfect wedding day celebrating with friends and family! Everything was decorated beautifully and they really worked with us to make sure we utilized all of the colors in our wedding pallet and just truly made our event space and ceremony space beautiful! The outside dancing option was perfect too and it was perfect weather for it too! Our guests enjoyed the mini putt course during cocktail hour and while dancing was happening. Our guests are still talking about how amazing their time was at our wedding all because of the team at Wenbeck! I will always recommend Wenbeck for any future weddings or events! Not only is the space beautiful, the team is top notch and know how to make any event perfect!

they made my entire wedding experience. From the many months of planning leading up to our big day to the very last moment of our wedding, they went above and beyond in every possible way.
One thing that truly sets The Wenbeck apart is their attention to detail and exceptional communication. Even months before our wedding, their team was always one step ahead, making sure we felt prepared, informed, and supported. One of my absolute favorite touches was their monthly email checklists! They were such a thoughtful way to keep us on track and remind us of all those little details that can so easily be forgotten during wedding planning. It was just one of the many ways they made the entire process feel effortless.
And as for our actual wedding day? I did not have to worry about a SINGLE thing. I was able to be completely present, soak in every moment, and enjoy the most special day of my life without a single ounce of stress. That alone is something I will forever be grateful for. Skyler and her team handled absolutely everything behind the scenes, keeping our timeline running perfectly without ever making the day feel rushed. They continuously checked in on me, made sure I had everything I needed, and truly made me feel like their number one priority.
It is so clear that this team genuinely loves what they do, and it shows in every little detail. They don’t just coordinate weddings; they truly care about the couples they work with and go out of their way to make their dreams come to life.
I truly wish I could relive our wedding day a thousand times, and so much of that is because of the incredible people at The Wenbeck. I cannot recommend them enough! If you are considering booking your wedding or any special event here, DO IT! You will be in the absolute best hands.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Skyler and the entire Wenbeck team, for giving us a day more beautiful and perfect than I ever could have imagined. We will cherish it forever! 🤍

could not have been more detailed or thorough during our visit (every type A bride's dream). Wedding day, and all the days leading up to it, only affirmed that we made the right choice with this crew. Many family members stated this was the nicest venue staff they had ever encountered, and our bridal party continuously commented on their appreciation of clear direction and "always knowing where to be" thanks to the Wenbeck girls. :) Everyone always warns you about the stress of wedding day, but we can confidently say we didn't experience any of that. If you choose the Wenbeck, you can trust that they'll go above and beyond for you. THANKS A MILLION FOR EVERYTHING!! Our day was everything we dreamed of!! Xoxo - The Lindseys

redible. They are some of the most professional, passionate, kind, and genuinely caring people I have ever worked with. You can tell how much they love what they do, and that showed in every single detail of our experience.
The venue itself was BEAUTIFUL. Every space was stunning, everything came together perfectly, and we received so many compliments from our guests. Skyler and John were there for us throughout the entire planning process, always willing to answer questions, offer suggestions, help us work through details, and make sure we felt completely taken care of. On our wedding day, I was able to truly enjoy every moment because I knew we were in such great hands.
One of our absolute favorite parts was being able to have the golf course available during cocktail hour. Our friends and family had SO much fun golfing, and so many people told us it was one of the best cocktail hours they had ever been to! It made the experience so unique and gave our guests something fun and memorable to enjoy while we took photos.
There are so many decisions that go into planning a wedding, but choosing The Wenbeck was easily one of the best decisions we made. They didn’t just provide us with a beautiful venue. They helped create an experience that we, our families, and our friends will remember forever.
I would recommend The Wenbeck to absolutely anyone looking for a wedding venue. The property is gorgeous, the experience is incredible, and the people behind it are even better. Skyler and John, thank you a million times over for your kindness, patience, hard work, and for caring about our wedding as much as you did. We are forever grateful that The Wenbeck will always be such a special part of our wedding story. 🤍

From the moment we toured the Wenbeck, we knew it was where we wanted to get married. But what truly sealed the deal was the incredible staff. From the owners, John and Skyler, to ...
our amazing event specialist, Alexis, and the rest of the team, we truly could not have asked for a better group of people.
They answered every question we had (I especially had a lot!), were always quick to respond, and were more than accommodating to anything we wanted for our wedding day. They made the entire planning process so easy and stress-free, and we always felt like they genuinely cared about us and wanted our day to be perfect.
By the end of it all, they didn’t feel like just the staff at our venue, they felt like family.
It’s honestly bittersweet that it’s all over because we’re going to miss seeing them. If you’re looking for a wedding venue with the most beautiful setting and the most incredible people, the Wenbeck is it. We are forever grateful for everything they did to make our wedding day absolutely perfect.

Choosing The Wenbeck as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we made, and we truly could not be happier with our experience. From the very beginning, we knew it was the ...
perfect place for us. We were looking for a venue that felt romantic, beautiful, and welcoming while also giving us the space to celebrate and have an amazing party with all of the people we love — and The Wenbeck was everything we hoped for and more.
The venue was absolutely beautiful and created the perfect backdrop for our wedding day. Our ceremony in the outdoor pavilion was everything we imagined — it was such a beautiful and meaningful space to say our vows. The reception space was the perfect place for our guests to celebrate, enjoy dinner, and dance the night away. Every detail of the venue helped bring our vision to life and created the exact atmosphere we were hoping for.
Skyler, John, and their entire team made our experience so wonderful from start to finish. They were incredibly helpful, kind, organized, and supportive throughout the entire process. Wedding planning comes with so many moving pieces, but having a team that truly cared about making our day special made such a difference. They helped everything run smoothly and allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our wedding day.
Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful The Wenbeck was and how much they loved the atmosphere. We received so many compliments about the venue, the layout, and how perfect it was for celebrating. It truly gave us the perfect mix of elegance, fun, and warmth that we wanted for our wedding.
Looking back, we are so grateful that we chose The Wenbeck to be the place where we celebrated the start of our marriage. It will always hold such a special place in our hearts. We cannot recommend The Wenbeck, Skyler, John, and their amazing team enough to any couple looking for a beautiful venue and a team that will go above and beyond to make their wedding day unforgettable.

tion to detail did not go unnoticed by me or my guests. Alexis and Skyler especially went above and beyond time and time again. This included executing a HUGE surprise (BRUTUS) and completely recreating my welcome mirror that shattered before the ceremony without me knowing (yes Alexis I know now). They took everything they could off my plate and I had the most relaxing morning ever with my bridesmaids followed by the most gorgeous ceremony and fun reception. It didn’t just feel like some venue ran by random people. It felt like we were in the place we were meant to be and that the staff were more like our best friends (who also know how to run a wedding g extremely smoothly). I could go on and on but will reiterate my love one more time for this venue, Alexis, Skyler, and the rest of the Wenbeck staff.

Skylar, Alexis, and Maddie were absolutely incredible. They helped us through so many details and moments leading up to the wedding and always made us feel like family.

That personal touch made us feel genuinely cared for and welcomed every step of the way.

We cannot say enough good things about The Wenbeck. From the moment we toured the venue, we knew we wanted Skyler to be a part of our wedding day. That feeling was only echoed when...
we met Alexis and the rest of The Wenbeck Team. The venue is stunning, but the most special part is the care and kindness of the amazing team. From the beautiful venue to the additional details and offerings they have (the put put course was a huge hit for our cocktail hour) you can tell they truly care about making the day a cut above the rest. Every one cannot stop commenting on how beautiful our venue is and what a wonderful staff they had. Skyler and her team were beyond lovely everytime we reached out with questions or concerns, and they took care of us and truly made us feel like part of the family. We had an incredibly tough loss about a month before our wedding and Skyler and Alexis were beyond accommodating and helpful as we were planning a funeral and a wedding at the same time. For this kindness, we will never be able to truly thank them for.
Our wedding day was absolutely magical and issues or problems that came up were handled by the team swifty and without letting us know so we could truly be present and soak in all the love. Not to mention their bartenders were so fun and kept the party going out in the lobby! We had the best time planning with them and the care they showed us was unlike anything I ever expected from our wedding venue, honestly we are a little sad it is all over and we dont have excuse to hang out with them all again. We cannot recommend The Wenbeck enough for your special day, with Skyler, Alexis, and the entire team, your day is in the best of hands.

didn’t cooperate. Skyler was easy to work with. She was always willing to work with our desired needs/wants from the initial walkthrough through the wedding day. She took care of any conflicting offers from other vendors and made sure everything would be set up as we envisioned.
The day of the wedding was flawless. She, and her husband, John, made sure we and our guests were chauffeured around the property for all the picture settings we desired.
We included the golf and putt-putt package which was not necessary, but added a unique experience for our guests who really enjoyed the activities.
Thank you Skyler, John, and the rest of the team. You made our day smooth and comforting and we couldn’t be happier with our choice of venue!

E to work with. They were incredibly trustworthy and on top of things but also very personable. They were clear and upfront with pricing and policies and really want the best for their couples. The whole facility is stunning and you can get away with minimal decoration if that is the route you would like to take. One thing I found comfort in was the pavilion being a weather contingency space. Its a really nice space that doesn’t look like a backup, but more of just an indoor option.
Our guests LOVED the putt-putt and we were glad we chose to opt in for the full reception addition.
When we looked for venues, we were hoping to find a place that allowed you to work with outside vendors and aside from their preferred vendor list for catering (which still includes a good variety of food and budget options), we were able to do to this! This allowed us to stay within our budget and still have a wedding at such a beautiful facility.
We are so glad we chose the Wenbeck and would choose it again and again.

We had the best experience with The Wenbeck for our wedding. We got married July 12th, 2025 and could not have asked for a more passionate and accommodating venue. They were always...
there to help, answer our questions, and give us ideas. We loved the pavilion, the putting green, and the flexibility of the indoor and outdoor spaces. I truly cannot say enough great things about The Wenbeck!

My husband and I got married on June 14th of this year. After doing quite a bit of research online for venues and visiting several as well, we decided to book our big day with The ...
Wenbeck. From our initial meeting to the big day, communication was phenomenal. Skyler and Alexis were both extremely supportive, knowledgeable, positive and energetic which helped to make our day feel as special as possible. We felt that compared to other venues the pricing was competitive and Skyler was transparent about what their options included. There were no hidden extra costs/fees. Their facilities are very nice. We chose to have our ceremony and reception on site. For the ceremony, we had the choice of having it inside or outside. Outside they have a beautiful stamped concrete patio with a pavilion that overlooks their golf course and pond. We were planning to set seating up on the patio in front of the pavilion but there was a large risk of storms that day. We moved our ceremony into the pavilion. It just so happened that it ended up being a beautiful afternoon, however the pavilion provided perfect shade for us and our guests. The reception took place inside the main building and provided ample space for our just over 100 guests. The bar, buffet, dessert table, guest book and DJ were set up in different locations which allowed the guests to move around without being crowded in any area of the venue. The sun sets on the back of the building which provides for beautiful sunset photos on the golf course, as well as a gorgeous view from the venue as it has large windows across the back overlooking the golf course. Both Skyler and Alexis helped to keep things moving smoothly all day and it truly meant the world to us. From their help with setup, to relocating ceremony flowers to the main building for the reception, relocating signage and helping reload the film for our polaroid guest books and chatting with our super inquisitive nephew. They truly provided a wonderful experience.

directions and helped capture my vision on every sense. They were extremely helpful and professional about keeping to our budget while giving us knowledgeable advice. The venue was absolutely stunning and gives you the opportunity to have an inside/outside ceremony which was important to us in case unpredictable weather occurred. They are extremely caring and committed individuals and I’m so grateful to have spent my special day with them.

Where do I begin?! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and much of that is due to Skyler, Alexis and their incredible team at the Wenbeck, and the beautiful venue itself.
Thei...
r Team was professional and always made sure that my husband and I were taken care of throughout the night and never had to worry about a single thing. Before the ceremony, John and Skyler were readily available to drive the bridal party around in the golf cart to different parts of the venue for photo ops. They made sure we were on schedule, and helped with guest arrival.
We were lucky to have absolutely perfect weather on our wedding day, so we could utilize the gorgeous ceremony space between the beautiful new pavilion and the water. It was such a beautiful setting for our nuptials.
The newly built pavilion was also used for guests to enter through and grab a glass of champagne from the Wenbeck’s adorable champagne cart. I mean what is better than a welcome glass of champagne?!
Our guests LOVED the mini golf during cocktail hour and into the night. Everyone also took advantage of the spacious balcony on the back of the reception area to watch the most gorgeous sunset!
The Wenbeck team members were there with us during our planning process right off the bat with their vendor recommendations - all of which turned out to be wonderful to work with.
Their Team provided recommendations on our ceremony and reception layouts, which made it so smooth for guests to experience different aspects, from the Photo Booth, our Polaroid guest book/flower wall, etc.
I cannot thank the team at Wenbeck enough for making our day absolutely perfect, and I cannot recommend the Wenbeck enough!!!

The Wenbeck is one of our favorite venues to collaborate with. Skyler and her husband John are not only professional and friendly but also very hands-on with their clients, earning...
them great respect in the industry. We have never received any complaints regarding their venue or the service they provide. Each client is treated with the VIP attention that we believe every couple deserves on their wedding day. Their staff is exceptional as well. Skyler consistently goes the extra mile to assist couples and their families with wedding needs, including offering vendor recommendations that align with the couple's vision. This is why we feel confident in building a partnership with them. We eagerly anticipate many more weddings and events at the Wenbeck (Little Bear).
Book your next event at The Wenbeck!

g, Skyler was nothing short of amazing. Not only were we impressed, but our guests and family members couldn't stop raving about her professionalism, warm personality, and how easy she made the entire process for us.
The Wenbeck is truly the perfect venue for any event or wedding. The space was beautifully maintained, clean, and incredibly comfortable for our wedding of 115 people. We loved the versatility of the venue, from the multiple ceremony location options to the fun putt-putt course, which kept our guests entertained during cocktail hour.
Skyler was always available to answer any questions leading up to the big day and made us feel at ease throughout the entire planning process. Her vendor recommendations were spot-on, and we ended up choosing several based on her suggestions due to their level of professionalism and quality.
If you're looking for a venue that offers both beauty and exceptional service, The Wenbeck at Little Bear is the place to go. Skyler made our day unforgettable, and we highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a stress-free, memorable wedding day!

est people and when planning a wedding that is obviously SO important. We saw multiple venues and no venue itself could compare and no owners represented themselves as genuine and as realistic as Skyler and John did. They were proud of their venue and were honest about pricing with nothing added that we would not be aware of. And when we encountered a problem two weeks before our wedding, they were so accommodating and helped us figure out a solution that helped our day go smooth. Because of them, our wedding day was PERFECT. Anything I needed help doing, they took care of it behind the scenes without my husband or I needing to worry. They made every effort that they could for us and we just could never thank them enough for everything. I will brag about this venue forever! Every person who attended our wedding couldn’t stop talking about how nice the venue was and how everything was just simply beautiful and it all went so smoothly. Anything we asked, they did it with a smile on their faces and handled it. Thank you again for EVERYTHING Skyler and John! And if you are considering booking Little Bear for your wedding or any event, do yourself a favor and just do it!

If you want the most stress free wedding The Wenbeck is the way to go. From the moment I met Skyler and John I had no doubt that we would be getting married there. Both of them are...
so easy to communicate with, amazing humans who truly want you to have the best day ever. From picking vendors to day of movements and transitions, I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Things got done before I even had time to think about them and I truly was at ease with trusting them. Skyler is so organized with the small details of the day that she was asking me about things I didn’t know I had to think about. And she always had the answer. During the rehearsal she organized us with ease and made the rehearsal fly by and the wedding go so smoothly. Between the final walk through and the rehearsal she just brought so much calm to a time that was so hectic and I won’t ever be able to thank her enough. Skyler and John both care so much not only about your event but about you as a person, and that was incredibly different than a lot of other venues we toured. I truly cannot say enough good things about this venue and Skyler and John. And if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t have changed a thing.
