Mixed Review
Our wedding at The Bend turned out beautiful, but there were a few hiccups. There were 3 different managers in the time of us booking the venue and the day of our wedding. Communication was very difficult, as I was the one reaching out for things I should not have had to reach out for. Our invoice was given to us 4 days before the wedding (and was incorrect and I had to ask for it), and we were originally asked to pay the next day. They did end up giving money off for the inconvenience. The wedding itself turned out fine, but it was a very stressful week of.
The Bend is Amazing!
As a wedding planner I've seen amazing wedding venues and mediocre wedding venues, but I can honestly say that the Bend Event Center had a flawless setup and was amazing to work with. Their staff was super helpful not only on the wedding day, but during the planning process as well. I will continue to recommend them to all my future couples!
Want your wedding day to be perfect?? BOOK NOW!
We had our wedding on October 12, 2019 and it was a dream come true. Throughout our entire planning process, The Bend was so incredibly helpful with every single part of it and made everything so much less stressful. From the big details all the way to the smallest little details everything was PERFECT. Mykenzie made us feel like we were truly living a fairytale on our wedding day! I will ALWAYS recommend booking your wedding or event at the bend if you want your event to be everything and MORE!
Perfect wedding venue
This place is gorgeous and the perfect place to hold your wedding or any type of event. The staff is super helpful and there is a reason why this facility is booked so far out. There is plenty of space and the elegance of this facility cannot be overstated. With the Hotel so close and Murphy Park right there, you have everything you need to accommodate a spectacular wedding!
