  The Absolute Best

  This is going to be long but stick with me – you will thank me! There are truly not enough words to describe how amazing Skyler and John are at The Wenbeck and how choosing this venue was the best decision we made during wedding planning. From the moment we met with Skyler, my husband and I knew that this was the place we would have our wedding. When you’re planning a wedding, you have to meet with SO many vendors and have to vet them all without really having any clue what you’re doing or what to look for (at least that’s how we felt having never done it before!). You will look at and read so many different policies and contracts and as time goes on, we got pretty good at figuring out who was trying to make money off of us and who really wanted to be a part of making the wedding everything WE wanted it to be. When we first went to The Wenbeck, we were instantly impressed with how beautiful it was, both inside and out. When we sat down to talk specifics, Skyler was organized, knowledgeable and so incredibly transparent. The conversation felt like sitting down with a friend who was showing you the ropes and not like we were being pitched an offer from a salesman. She was able to answer every question we had and knew down to the penny exactly what each cost was for and what the money covered. We had left other appointments questioning where the numbers came from on our quotes or questioning what the ambiguous fees added at the bottom went towards. There was none of that here. They offer SO much and their pricing is more than fair.
  
  The grounds are absolutely gorgeous. There is not a blade of grass out of place and the pavilion is the most gorgeous building you will find. It is clean, simple and the glass walls make you feel like you are outside even if you have to be inside. The ballroom is updated and pristine. The views are endless! You could not put a single piece of décor in there and it would still be beautiful. Their bar package is absolutely unbeatable, and people were thrilled with what we had at the wedding. We heard over and over how impressed people were with the vast number of choices offered both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. We opted for their top package and the price was less than most places beer and wine only packages. We chose the upgraded chairs because they have the most beautiful, well maintained chivari chairs that look like they have never been sat in that we knew we had to have. We had toured other venues that had similar chairs, but they were tattered with chipped paint and had discolored cushions. We had the option to open up the putting course during our cocktail hour and knew we had to do it. The fee was minimal, and you get your money back if the weather does not cooperate. Everything was customizable to what we wanted and that is something we did not find other places. We wanted to extend the reception a bit later and start cocktail hour a bit earlier and they did that for us without hesitation and did not price gouge us whatsoever for anything we wanted to modify from the standard. On the day of the wedding their entire staff was professional, prompt, courteous and were just extensions of Skyler and John. You can tell that they all are vested in what they do in the way that you don’t often see.
  
  Unfortunately, we were met with an immense number of bumps in the road during our wedding planning process and Skyler and John were always right there ready to jump in and help wherever and however they could. They both are so knowledgeable about the wedding industry as a whole and provided us with so much advice and support way beyond what would be expected of the venue coordination team. I truthfully don’t know what we would have done without them. Whenever we ran into problems or didn’t know what to do or how to navigate a problem, they were right there ready to help. This is what really sets The Wenbeck apart from other venues. They treat you like family and they genuinely want you to have the best wedding possible. Skyler felt more like a matron of honor than a venue coordinator to me throughout the process, and there’s just no way to really explain how valuable that was to my husband and I. You absolutely will not find any venue better than The Wenbeck. The value, attention to detail, commitment to you as the client, beauty of the venue and blessing that Skyler and John are unmatched. This place has a heart, and you will see it and feel it from the moment you walk through the door.

  Beautiful hidden gem!!

  Skyler and John were absolutely incredible to work with! They made rehearsal and the day of flawless. Having snow the evening before the wedding, they ensured the lot and sidewalks were cleared out for guests. All the supporting staff was helpful and friendly as well.
  
  The venue itself is absolutely stunning with both beautiful and fun photo opportunities. It has a very modern feel, a view, beautiful natural light, and add on packages to make your day come to life. There’s so much flexibility with this venue for ceremony and reception. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue in the heart of Columbus, this is the one!

  Magical Experience!

  My husband and I absolutely adored working with John and Skyler! They went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding day was everything that we had hoped for. If we had to do it all over again, we would choose the Wenbeck every time! Truly, we will miss working with John and Skyler, and cannot thank them enough for making our dreams come true. Don’t hesitate—pick the Wenbeck!!

  Highly recommend The Wenbeck at Little Bear!

  Skyler, John, and the staff at little bear were so incredible and made our wedding day run so smoothly.

The venue itself is beautiful and was a perfect setting for our fall wedding! We would honestly recommend this venue to our closest friends or family, and highly recommend this venue for your wedding day.

  Recommended Wedding Venue

  Skyler was wonderful to work with! She was extremely responsive, helpful, and attentive. She provided us with guidance as we made decisions about our wedding and was flexible with our needs. Skyler & John were a huge help in making the day go smoothly and were available for any questions or needs leading up to the wedding day. Skyler was able to offer her perspective when we had questions about layout, ceremony, decor, etc. from her experience with managing weddings and working with vendors at the venue.
  
  The venue itself is well maintained and offers both indoor/outdoor space. We chose it, in part, because of the dual spaces for a ceremony (enclosed/partially open pavilion or outdoor patio in front of the lake) not knowing what to expect for April weather. Having these options was great, especially as we were navigating last-minute decisions for the ceremony with predictions of heavy wind. Our guests also really enjoyed spending time on the outdoor patio wrapping around the reception space for cocktail hour.
  
  Overall, the day went great and was so smooth. Skyler/John and their management of the Wenbeck exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend the venue and working with them!

  Amazing experience!

  I had my wedding at the Wenbeck in September 2023. My experience here was amazing! Skyler and John were so helpful and our big day went by SO smoothly! They both were so kind, super informative and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. They went above and beyond to make my husband & I feel so special on our big day. From the planning, to the communication and organization- they were excellent! They listened to my vision and made my dream wedding happen!
  
  The venue itself is also SO beautiful. We were able to have our ceremony outside and the backdrop was absolutely gorgeous! My guests LOVED mini golfing at cocktail hour too! All around I highly recommend to anyone looking to have their big day here! You will feel like a ROCKSTAR! :)

  Beautiful place

  That’s great place for wedding ceremony. We had 190 guests. It was enough for us and cheaper than other places if you have many guests.

  Met needs, exceeded expectations

  I have so many good things to say about Skyler, John, and The Wenbeck at Little Bear Golf Club! My husband and I were considering having our wedding here but had a very short engagement (about 3 months). Skyler answered all of our questions and was so communicative and efficient. My mom and I enjoyed the detailed walkthrough we had at the venue and Skyler’s personability and attention to detail helped us feel confident about our choice.
  The venue is accessible for guests who aren’t as mobile (elevator and golf carts for transporting people to and from the pavilion) and the climate controlled pavilion made it a perfect fit (we had an afternoon shower that we didn’t have to worry about). We and our guests loved getting to play mini golf during the cocktail hour. Additionally, the second-floor reception hall has a wonderful balcony for guests to get away from the noise and enjoy the west/sunset-facing view. This venue also has a large kitchen and reception hall to comfortably accommodate 180 guests (we had about 175). Not to mention, they have a NICE sized dance floor!
  For looks and photos, this venue delivered! We were fortunate enough to have a gorgeous sunset and many paces for wonderful photo opportunities. The getting ready rooms were also perfect to accommodate over 8 people each. So many of our guests had wonderful things to say about this gem of a venue that’s tucked away in Lewis Center!

  Beautiful Venue!

  I highly recommend The Wenbeck for your wedding ceremony and reception. We hosted our daughter’s wedding this July and it was lovely! The ceremony was held in the open-air pavilion overlooking the lake and golf course which made for great pictures. The reception was held in the beautiful upstairs ballroom with an outdoor terrace. Everything was set up as requested and looked amazing. They even helped our older guests get in and out of the parking lot with an employee-driven golf cart. The owners/ managers, Skyler and her husband John, were wonderful to work with and helped us through several vendor and décor decisions, but most importantly helped with the flow of events for both the rehearsal and wedding day. We hosted a fun and casual rehearsal dinner at the bar and grille on-site, while also playing putt-putt. We had a ton of fun!

  Most amazing venue and people.

  We had the best experience with using The Wenbeck as our wedding venue. Skyler was so easy to talk to, quick to respond, so patient and willing to listen, detailed, organized, and made our special day possible! Our guests still talk about how beautiful and clean the grounds and buildings were, even a month later! We cannot recommend this venue more to our friends and family!

  Perfect venue, perfect venue managers!

  Skyler and John, the venue owners/managers, were SO amazing. They were very communicative and easy to work with, and they made the wedding venue portion of planning so easy! I was able to tour the venue multiple times, they were so helpful and informative, and really helped calm my nerves and anxiety answering what must've been a hundred questions.
  
  The venue itself is exactly what we were looking for - the outdoor ceremony area overlooks the water and even has an outdoor open air pavilion as a rain/weather option. We ended up holding our wedding underneath the pavilion with all the doors open, the cross-breeze made the 90+ degree heat feel like a perfect 75 degree day.
  
  The inside reception space held our 128 comfortably, and the ceilings are high enough for the chair lifting in the hora (if anyone is curious). In addition to the buffet tables, we even had room for additional tables in the reception space for desserts, cards/gifts, etc. The lobby is also absolutely gorgeous with the stone fireplace and double doors. The sun sets over the large patio connected to the reception hall, creating perfect golden hour lighting both outside and in the reception hall.
  
  The outdoor area provides great background for pictures, and everything is so clean and pristine that we didn't want extra outdoor ceremony decorations to take away from the landscape and scenery. There is even a putting course we were able to rent out during cocktail hour, a unique experience that many of our guests loved!
  
  10/10 and 100% recommend the location and the owners - we'd love to work with them again and host an event there in the future!!

  Wenbeck is a Great Venue

  The Wenbeck Team, led by Skyler and John, is simply outstanding. We performed our daughter’s wedding on May 28, 2023, and from the beginning, Skyler was involved and understood my daughter’s and her fiance’s vision and worked hard to make the day a great success. She made us feel that our daughter’s wedding was her only priority.
  
  Wenbeck is an excellent venue for weddings. We, along with the groom’s parents, fell in love with the location, the ability to have an outdoor or an indoor ceremony, and the well-maintained golf course grounds created a fantastic backdrop for photos and video. The dining/reception/dancing areas and the inviting entrance to the lobby were spot on. Check out Wenbeck. Skyler and John will help make your next big event a big hit.

  Absolutely amazing!

  The venue is so gorgeous! It was the first and only venue we looked at. It was important to us to find a venue that allowed outside caterers and Little Bear did! Skyler is incredible, and I had some family members that had trouble walking to they drove them around on the golf cart. And they respond to emails so rapidly! I highly recommend choosing this venue!

  Amazing! Wouldn’t get married anywhere else !!

  The Wenbeck exceeded my expectations. Skyler, the event coordinator was beyond amazing and I could not have done this without her. She answered emails within hours, assisted my day of coordinator with any questions she had, and would even send me mock up pictures of the layout of reception hall that I wanted. I am beyond thankful for how easy The Wenbeck team made my wedding day flow, especially because I had all my own outside vendors (by choice). Hands down - wouldn’t change a thing!!!

  Amazing Experience!

  The Wenbeck was a great space for our fall wedding of about 85 guests! We picked this venue mainly because it gave us choice with our catering company (they provide the bar packages and setup so keep that in mind if you'd rather be able to BYOB for your wedding). My fiancé and I had to plan our wedding from afar since we lived out of state, but Skyler was super responsive with my questions and very understanding with our changes during the wedding planning process. We had a chair mishap with another vendor the night before, but luckily, Skyler was able to help us resolve it quickly and was able to help us make some last-minutes accommodations. Additionally, she was friendly and gracious throughout the entire process, which made wedding planning a lot less stressful. The space provided a lot of flexibility and convenience; we wanted to have our ceremony and reception at the same place so our guests wouldn't have to do too much driving. Since it was slightly on the chilly side on our wedding day, the ceremony pavilion was perfect for us, but if it had been warmer, having the ceremony right in front of the water would have been an option, too. We did take our photos there and the water was a beautiful backdrop! Our guests enjoyed the balcony space and putt-putt during our cocktail hour. The reception space was the perfect size for our guest count. The bridal suite was great for us to get ready in and had multiple ways of getting in and out to avoid being seen before the ceremony! We used Sheraton as our hotel for our guests, which was about 10 minutes away from the venue, but there were also a decent number of Airbnbs near the area that you could rent as well. Overall, I highly recommend this as a wedding venue!

  Excellent service, beautiful venue

  I was skeptical about a gold course, but it was all so beautiful! The team at The Wenbeck is highly responsive, reasonable and accommodated OUR vision for the big day, while still offering up different options and ideas. We had several meetings with Skyler and John during the planning process which kept us informed and everyone on the same page. Lots of opportunities to ask questions and make requests. It helped to talk things through as we processed all the details. We highly recommend The Wenbeck at Little Bear!

  We just had our wedding there in early October. Skyler and John were very responsive and easy to communicate with. They worked with me to make my vision happen! And just outstanding views, my pictures look amazing! They were also very upfront about additional charges and expenses which I appreciated! I would definitely recommend having your special day at Little Bear Golf Club!
