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!

Wenbeck Wedding Review
The Wenbeck is truly the best venue I could have ever asked for. The space is beautiful as is, and they have so many different enhancements to make your day exactly the way you want it to be! Our guests have described the space as "stunning," and there is so much you can do to make your wedding or event the exact way you want it to be. Above all else, you can tell that the Wenbeck team is truly passionate about what they do. They do everything they can to make the wedding planning process as smooth as possible, and their support is truly rare to come by. I would recommend this venue over and over again to anyone planning a wedding or special event!

The Best Night
The Wenbeck did an amazing job at capturing our wedding day. It went so smoothly and truly was the most magical night. We got multiple compliments from our guests about the wonderful service at The Wenbeck. I would recommend the venue to anyone, as Skyler and Alexis will help you create the vision you are looking for, no matter the occasion!

The best choice for your special day!
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.

Wonderful Venue!
The Wenbeck | Wedding & Events Center was an absolute dream venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, the staff was thorough, detailed, and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the planning process. The venue itself is spacious and simply elegant, with a fun golf-themed putt putt course that made for a lively cocktail hour activity for our guests. The Wenbeck team was clearly passionate about making our special day a memorable one for us and our daughter - their coordination and friendliness ensured the entire event ran smoothly from start to finish. We are so grateful to Skylar, John, Alexis and the entire Wenbeck staff, for helping to make our wedding day truly magical.

The wenbeck was amazing
We had such an amazing time at the Wenbeck!!! They truly made my planning experience so much easier. I was able to contact them whenever I needed and they were always so accommodating, even up until we left the venue. The space was absolutely beautiful and the staff kept me sane. Huge shout out to Skyler and Alexis!!!!

It was perfect!
The Wenbeck is such a beautiful, fun place with unique elements that really made it a special place for our wedding. Skyler, Alexis and the rest of the Wenbeck staff were INCREDIBLE 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.
