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!
