I loved this venue! I have a lot of family coming from out of state(s) and not familiar with Missouri as well as some of my other guests. I wanted to have my wedding at the same location for the ceremony and reception, so everyone was together and no one got lost. Bear Creek has been wonderful of helping me create the day of my dreams.
I could not of chosen a better venue to have my wedding and celebrate with my family with minimal stress.

Everything about our wedding at Bear Creek was 100% perfect. The outdoor ceremony was beautiful, the reception hall was awesome, food was excellent, loved the open bar, loved the dance floor, and Alex was more-or-less our lifesaver for the entire planning period and the day itself.

We had our ceremony (130 guests) outside. It was gorgeous. We were married between two trees in front of a nice little arch on the steps. Just awesome! Even the flowering bushes around us matched our wedding colors, but I'm guessing that was coincidence ; ). My favorite part of the ceremony was the peace of mind I got from knowing that if the weather turned sour, we could go inside to the reception hall and be married there. The reception hall is pretty equally beautiful in its own right, so that would've been fine too. Luckily, despite one massive thunderstorm threatening to send us inside, we were able to be married outside! I appreciated Alex holding out for the weather, she was very flexible. Willing to delay the ceremony 10-15 minutes for the storm to blow over, reset all the chairs that the wind had blown around, and away we went! They were easily able to accommodate 130 guests outside.

The reception was a blast. We did very little in terms of decoration because the reception hall on its own is beautiful. Alex did all the decorating herself and she did a fantastic job. We had to pay a bit extra for a wooden dance floor, but that was totally worth it since it was full the entire night!

The food was great. We had chicken modega and ham, along with green beans, salad, and potatoes. Everything was good, but the chicken modega was divine. Highly recommend that.

Finally, I'll say it again, we loved Alex! She kept everything going, made sure we had fun, worked with us all night, and made planning from 5 hours out of town a piece of cake. She's very organized, knows what she's doing, and is easy to work with. If we could do it again, we'd still do it at Bear Creek.

They did a wonderful job on the food and setting up.

My husband and I are so glad that we decided to do our wedding and reception at Bear Creek. Sara and Alex are both easy to work with, and they both know how to make things look good (if that makes sense). The main reason we chose Bear Creek was because they do all of the set-up and take-down of any decorations you bring. The venue is already beautiful and fit with our rustic, mountain theme perfectly. We did our ceremony outside on their patio and it was BEAUTIFUL. We brought our own garland for the arbor, and it looked stunning.

We also heard that the food was delicious, and it didn't disappoint. We had about 170 guests, and it was the perfect size. The dance floor was crowded enough to make you want to dance, but not so crowded that we couldn't fit everyone who wanted to bust a move :-)

The only reason I gave it 4 stars on flexibility was because there were some restrictions on decor (mainly just that you can't hang anything from the ceiling. You can do pretty much anything else you want), there were some restrictions on where to take pictures (we ended up just doing all of ours before the ceremony at Quail Ridge Park), and you can't do a sparkler send-off. None of those things were deal-breakers for us.

I'd highly recommend Bear Creek to anyone in the St. Louis/St. Charles/Wentzville area!

The executive chef Ben is wonderful and spent a lot of time on the phone with us (we live 2,000 miles away) to make sure everything was sorted out and organized. They had a few staffing changes between when we put the deposit down and the day of our event, but Ben was always there and Sam (the newest event coordinator) worked wonders with our DIY half-baked centerpieces and decorations. She went above and beyond to utilize our decorations and to try and incorporate all of our ideas. We have had nothing but glowing reviews of the food and the service from our guests!

Leslie at Bear Creek Golf Course helped make our day so special and exactly what we wanted on a small budget. Outstanding staff and food. Our ceremony and reception was perfect and will recommend them to everyone i know for any event.

Perfect for a small town wedding. Cute layout with a fireplace and very helpful planner.
