Gorgeous Venue with the Most Amazing Event Staff!

I just got married here last month, and oh my goodness, what a wonderful experience! My my and my husband's original wedding ceremony venue went out of business due to COVID, and I can't tell you how terrified we initially were. All of our other services were still planned, and we were worried that we wouldn't find a place that could work with our pre-existing plans, and that we'd never find another place that felt as special as our first pick. The Weingarten exceeded all expectations! Not only were we able to fit our ceremony with the Weingarten in with our other plans for the day, but the venue was absolutely stunning and made our day feel completely magical! From our first tour, my husband and I knew this venue was the right choice for us. All the event staff are extremely responsive and so caring towards your unique needs. You never feel out-of-the-loop or lost in the planning process, or like you can't ask a question. Our day went off without a hitch as well! Our rehearsal was wonderfully helpful and all the staff made sure the entire wedding party felt like they knew exactly what to do the day of the wedding! As for the ceremony itself, there was rain the day before our wedding, and the staff assured me that they would absolutely do everything in their power to keep the wedding outdoors as we'd originally envisioned it, and would keep me up to date if the ground was too soft to set up chairs. Everything was in its place the day of the wedding and I didn't have to worry about a thing regarding set-up, and we got to have the outdoor wedding we'd dreamt of! Truly, from start to finish, I can't thank the Weingarten's event staff enough for being as kind, thoughtful, and enthusiastic as they were! You made our day so incredibly special!

Made Our Wedding Come Alive

Great service, food, personable, made our day really come alive. They helped calm me down when I was having an anxiety attack about the people. They were very attentive. I would recommend them any day. I’m literally always telling people to come here. They even dressed up for our 80s wedding and let us have the dream wedding we always wanted!

Amazing!! Even with a 100% chance of rain!

We had been set on The Weingarten ever since we attended my husband’s coworkers reception there a few years ago. Luckily, they had our wedding date available!! They were so flexible with me— from the tasting schedule, to a tour with my photographer, to the final meeting, to me calling FOUR times the week of my wedding to change the guest count. It also rained the ENTIRE day of our wedding but they did everything they could to make sure we got enough pictures and my hair wasn’t too flat or frizzy, haha! 100% recommend to future newlyweds!

Perfect Venue for a Perfect Occasion

I would recommend the Weingarten for anyone wanting to host a wedding reception, business event, or any social gathering. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and caring. Each member of the staff went above and beyond to ensure our wedding reception was everything we wanted - and more. The customer service and sincere care to make our day special was priceless. To this day, when we go visit, they remember us (by name). I am hosting a business event at the Weingarten again this summer due to my amazing experience!

Beautiful Fall Wedding!

The Weingarten proved to be the perfect venue for our daughter's late September wedding. The outdoor wedding ceremony site offered both a beautiful setting & privacy. We utilized the tent for the reception which easily accommodated our guests, DJ equipment, & extra tables for gifts, cakes, & guest book/guest favors. In addition, we booked the bridal suite for bride & bridesmaids to dress pre-ceremony & that proved to be an invaluable space for gathering for photos, etc. It simplified our planning to utilize a venue such as the Weingarten since everything we needed was at one site. Our guests appreciated the convenience of an "all-in-one" location.
Planning a wedding can be stressful & takes months, but the staff at the Weingarten were wonderful to work with from our initial booking through the follow-up post wedding. Everyone was always polite, very professional, & responsive to every question (& we had many questions!) The staff offered so many helpful suggestions along the way & paid attention to all those little details that mean so much to brides (& their moms). The coodinator even dressed to match the bridal party colors on the wedding day!
The Weingarten helped us to create a picture perfect wedding day for our daughter & son-in-law!

Best Wedding Ever

My husband and I picked the Weingarten because of the laid back atmosphere and we weren't disappointed. We had the most amazing day and we had several guests tell us it was the best wedding they had ever been too. We worked with Lindsey and she was fantastic. She was so easy to work with when we were planning and she was a rock star on the day of the wedding. Everything was perfect. The venue was perfect, the food was perfect, and the reception was perfect. It was worth every penny.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
