service was top notch. It did not at all feel like we were on a budget at all.

re you get exactly what you want. He was hands on throughout the entire process, and worked closely with our other vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly,. The venue exceeded our expectations. The pictures on the grounds turned out beautifully. I would highly recommend this venue for weddings - especially outdoor ones.
We had our wedding at Wheatstack and couldn't have been happier with the outcome. In the beginning, we were worried about the space, but much to our surprise it fit 140 people comf...

Pro's
1. The staff - Todd is awesome and will live up to every promise he makes. He's a straight shooter and incredibly reliable.
2. The food - Almost everyone in our group of friends has gotten married this year (14 total weddings.) Everybody always says the food at our wedding was the best. I may be biased, but I agree
3. The Gathering area's - Every wedding has a dance floor, but I feel like in most situations it's the only source of entertainment. Wheatstack has a gorgeous large balcony where they put a pop-up bar that entertained guests who didn't want to dance. People were smoking cigars, enjoying the fresh air and some kids even playing just below the balcony in the grass. They also have a semi circle bar right next to where we set up Dancing/the DJ. Many people gathered around that bar and were able to enjoy the ridiculousness that occurs on the dance floor without having to be on it. Lastly, the main room still had tables, deserts, etc. So some of the elderly guest who wanted to get away from the commotion could hang out in this room unbothered.
4. The Price - You won't find a better bang for the buck.
5. The Flexibility - My wife has a creative mind and wanted to personalize the space. She made a lot of arts and crafts and had some pretty specific instructions for the Wheatstack staff. They were willing to implement everything to the brides specifications without any resistance.
The Con's
1. For anything more than 100 people you'll need to split up into two rooms. For us, this wasn't an issue and was somewhat preferred, but I know many people may not like this. Having said that, the two rooms are separated by an open doorway so it still feels incredibly inclusive. Not only that, but we rented out the whole facility and that made it feel all inclusive. And as I stated earlier, the different rooms helped cater to every personality at our wedding and helped assure that everyone had a good time.
2. The open bar package doesn't include shots. I didn't know this ahead of time, but in fairness I never asked. Having said that, shots were free for the bride and I all night, but the guests had to pay.
All in all, we couldn't have been happier with the venue. They took care of us, our guests and everyone had a great time. The bride and I didn't want a "me to" wedding where it was in a huge banquet hall and this was the perfect alternative.
