Bentwater Yacht Club Reviews

Mirinda and the team were fantastic to work with. They respected our cultural norms and traditions, and the entire experience overall was great.

Our wedding was on Saturday, December 2, 2023. We had a full-service wedding with Bentwater, which included the venue rental, catering and alcohol services, and our bridal party stayed in the villas at Bentwater for the wedding weekend. We first booked the venue on May 1, 2022, with the previous event coordinator one day after their spring sale ended, but the manager was nice enough to still give us the sale discount with our contract. Green flag number one! We then met with their new event coordinator, Mirinda, a couple of months later and had the best initial meeting. She helped us ease our worries about having enough room for 150+ guests for a sit-down reception. We then set up our menu tasting, which was super professional and presented super nice (It had a mockup wedding menu with our choices as well, so cute!). We all loved our options and got so many compliments about the food the day of our wedding! We had three different passed appetizers during the cocktail hour and two different entree choices for the reception. Food is one part of a wedding that guests remember, good or bad, and we're happy everyone loved it! Green flag number 2! The Bentwater staff was also super accommodating for all of our DIY projects. My husband handmade an ice cream cart, which they used as our cocktail hour bar on the patio. The bartenders were super friendly, professional, and highly skilled! My dad remembers explicitly the many tricks they performed while serving the drinks, and they expertly handled the ice luge my husband surprised me with for the reception! The week before the wedding, they ensured we had plenty of backup plans for any weather (Houston/Conroe weather can be highly unpredictable for outdoor weddings). Thankfully, the weather was perfect, and the lake as our ceremony backdrop made for a truly breathtaking experience! Mirinda also recommended us to Andrea, a fantastic wedding planner (Weddings by Andrea) who also worked for Bentwater and planned the day out perfectly! Bentwater Yacht Club is such a beautiful and romantic event space! I wish I could do it all again at Bentwater every weekend!

We had my sons wedding here and it was beautiful. From the first meeting with Mirinda, the event coordinator, we knew Bentwater was the place. Mirinda stayed in contact with us and walked us through every step. We received so many compliments on the venue and food. Do yourself a favor and make an appt for a tour. You won’t regret it.

Beautiful venue & view!! I had a micro wedding (around 50 people) and lunch reception afterwards so I was looking for something affordable since our big celebration will be in Dallas in September so this checked everything off my list. Thank you so much Cheryl for all your hard work! Your customer service, professionalism and heart are the selling point of this venue. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for the manager and staff. The heat in Houston was unbearable and they accommodated us to still have a water view and take photos by the gazebo overlooking the lake. It’s truly breathtaking. As a bride trying to calm my nerves was hard enough so I won’t go into the negative but all is well now and I’m just grateful Cheryl had the right mindset and attitude that helped me remain calm.

We toured Bentwater’s yacht ballroom 8 months previous to our date. The minute I walked in, I knew I would be choosing the location. What made it better was dealing with Cheryl White. We took us on like family and made sure we understood every step of the process. Sure, there were some frustrations but overall we adjusted and overcame anything that was thrown at us. It was truly an honor to have my wedding with Bentwater. The serving team, management, coordinators and the front dest at BW have been such a joy to work with.

This venue is AMAZING. They have everything you need-- two gazebo options, a lighthouse, a pool, a fountain, a beautiful reception hall filled with windows, in-house catering, a spa, and villas for guests to stay in. The service here is fantastic. I worked with Cheryl (event coordinator), Mirinda (her assistant), and Peter (banquet manager). They were extremely professional and prompt. Cheryl coordinated with the DJ (DJ Duke -- https://www.weddingwire.com/biz/events-by-duke-houston/b9863d756739da0d.html) and our photographer (Mike Rathke -- https://www.weddingwire.com/biz/rathke-photography-humble/394e0926ec469828.html) and made the timing of everything perfect. From the ceremony through our own private dinner, to our entrance, first dances, speeches, cake cutting, and departure Cheryl was there every step of the way keeping time and making the schedule flexible for us. Peter was also flexible in timing and anticipated our needs, making sure we had food and champagne all night. Mirinda was an angel -- she kept notes of every meeting and designed a "no cellphone wedding" sign that was BEAUTIFUL. The staff working the wedding were prompt and efficient (I had guests come to me to comment on the service). Everyone truly went above and beyond to make this night unforgettable. I.e. I visited the venue a few weeks before the wedding and noticed the fountain was off. I notified Cheryl who talked to maintenance who miraculously ordered the part and fixed the fountain in time for the wedding. A week before the wedding, we decided to change the color of our linens and Cheryl made it happen. Everything was beautiful, seamless, and stress-free due to Cheryl, Mirinda, and Peter. If you ever find yourself looking for a marina/country club with a beautiful view, excellent service, and fantastic amenities, I highly recommend Bentwater, and more specifically, working with these three individuals if given the chance.

I worked with Kam from the beginning, she was very helpful with all information up front and super thorough with littlest of details. She thought of everything we would need. When we arrived the room was very clean and beautiful! Kasey was there day of to help, she was willing to help with any and everything! Amazing experience!

Excellent food and service. Only one very small comment is that the tables were not set up according to the diagram but only one place setting needed to be moved and the staff took care of that promptly. Everything else was exceptional!

Cassondra the Event Manager was great. She knew what we needed for the event and was over the top in everything!
We had a great time and it could not have been better.
Food, service and venue were perfect!

We highly recommend Bentwater. Cassandra was wonderful to work with and the food was amazing. The planning process was easy and Cassandra was able to help anytime we had a question. Thank you for a memorable night.

We held our son's rehearsal dinner here. The staff was amazing and easy to work with, we didn't want for a thing. Food, Service, Setting... all A+++

Had a wonderful wedding reception at Bentwater Yacht Club! We live in the neighborhood so were very familiar with the venue. They recently underwent some remodeling with all new chairs and lighting. The updates are wonderful and you can’t beat the lake front location. We had tons of compliments on how wonderful the serving stuff was! Bentwater is highly punctual and really led the way with a lot of tasks that other venues do not. We had tons of compliments on the quality of food - and of course it makes it easy that Bentwater does their own catering and liquor. It’s a one stop shop. We just did a cash bar and it was a hit!

Everything was very well organized and communicated. It all turned out very well.

Absolutely perfect, they worked with me every step of the way to help make all my visions a reality. The venue is beautiful, the bridal tower is private and spacious, and the staff is wonderful.

Hosted rehearsal dinner there as the mother of the groom. Kam Brewer and her staff went above and beyond. The venue was beautiful and food was delicious.. Excellent service and kindness

From beginning to the end Kam was available for any questions that I had, I would certainly recommend her and the Bentwater venue.

Excellent experience the staff and in particular Kam were fantastic, easy to work with and very responsive

My wedding was on 9/15/18 and I can honestly say everything was perfect! Kam is great to work with she responds very quick to emails. She definitely made my night perfect along with the staff. The view is wonderful and exactly what I was looking for. The food was also great by the way! I received many compliments from my guest. I would recommend this venue to anyone!

our experience was fantastic the staff and venue was everything we had in mind and more

I had my wedding reception at the Bentwater Yacht Club. Connie and her team were so professional and everything went so smooth. Never an issue and she was so flexible with meeting with me since I live out of the area. The staff was professional and the space was clean and the food was fantastic!

Great experience. The help we received while planning our wedding was superb. The care that was taken to ensure we got everything done in time and that it was up to our expectations was so appreciated.

Gorgeous Venue. Food is delicious and surroundings provide for awesome photos. The coordinator they have at the venue is lacking though. We had a friend who was helping us out with coordinating and without our friend being involved the wedding may have had a lot of flaws. The event coordinator for Bentwater was showing people around the venue just hours before our wedding ceremony was to begin and she also left before we even cut the cake. The venue itself though was absolutely amazing!

Cindy was so helpful and made sure that everything ran smooth. The food was great and we loved that alcohol was included with the food package. We had so many complements on how beautiful the venue was!

CINDY DEY IS AWESOME! She's the one responsible in making every "Dream Wedding" come true. Her attention to detail and professionalism is one of a kind. After meeting with so many vendors and venues we knew this place was the one—the beautiful place, the exquisite food and the great service. Cindy is not just another vendor... she is your friend.
