The BEST Decision!

My husband and I got married this past weekend at The Wenbeck and there aren't enough words to describe how incredibly thrilled we are with our experience! Skyler and John, the owners/coordinators, are PHENOMENAL and we have absolutely adored working with them. From the moment we toured, we were impressed with not only how immaculate the grounds were kept but also with how organized they were and how valued we felt. At no point during our planning process did we ever feel like "just another couple" to them. We felt like old friends from the moment we entered! It didn’t matter what time of day we reached out with questions, they were there for us no matter what, always willing to help. They are so passionate about what they do and you’ll feel it the moment you meet them!

We looked at a total of - wait for it - fourteen (!!) different venues in the Columbus area and as soon as we met with them, the choice was obvious. Skyler and John are so authentic and genuine and went above and beyond to make our day everything we had hoped for, and then some! We absolutely cannot recommend this team and their property enough. Our guests LOVED the venue; we had so many people come up to us all night saying how gorgeous it was (the sunsets there are incredible!), and they loved getting to play mini golf during our cocktail hour!

We will truly miss working with Skyler and John and thank them a million times over for helping us create the day of our dreams. We would choose this venue over and over again! If you're looking for a venue in the Columbus area, look no further - I promise you won't find a more passionate, attentive, and hardworking team!

The Most Magical Wedding Day!

The Wenbeck at Little Bear Venue was a DREAM wedding venue! It exceeded all of our expectations. Skyler, the Director of Sales and her husband John were there to help us every step of the way. Skyler was present for all of our venue meetings, the rehearsal, and responded right away for any and all additional wedding related questions. John was also helpful and attentive to all of our needs leading up to the wedding and the day of! The venue itself was absolutely stunning. From the putt-putt course, to the outdoor pavilion, and sunset view, it made for the most magical wedding day. We would recommend this venue to anyone! Thank you Skyler and John!

Skyler,
Just want to take a minute to say THANK YOU to you and John for an incredibly organized and beautiful wedding on Saturday. We soooo appreciate your kindness and patience throughout the planning process! The day couldn't have been any more perfect for our daughter!! You two are the BEST and have a beautiful place to have a wedding...and that wouldn't happen if the two of you weren't as kind and accommodating as you both are! We appreciate it!!
Thanks again,
Jackie and Mike
