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!

The Renwick was the quickest and easiest choice my husband and I made for our wedding. We knew it was a beautiful place and we’d been interested in getting married there since long before we were even engaged but we didn’t know how helpful, warm and accommodating the owners, Sarah and Dane, would be. From the day we toured to our wedding and after, they’ve been amazing. They offer tons of helpful amenities plus different packages/price-points. We went with one of the higher priced packages and it was still totally reasonable. The package we chose allowed us to focus on the things we were excited about like decor while not having to worry about the things we were not excited about like set up and tear down. They also offer pretty much any option you could possibly want as far as bar service goes and you can bring in whatever catering you want! I could ramble on forever - I don’t know why people have events anywhere else!
