Our daughter and son-in-law had their wedding reception at The Bend Event Center this past Saturday. Everything exceeded our expectations! Mykenzie was absolutely amazing to work with. From the day we booked the event center, to the food tast...
ing, and the actual event, she was there to answer any questions and offered the best advice. Ross, Joe, the bartenders, and the rest of the staff were fantastic. They served the meal quickly to 200 people and it was hot and delicious! I had several people tell me that the meal was better than ones they have had at high priced restaurants, and I totally agree! The atmosphere and beauty of the venue completed the perfect evening! We can’t thank The Bend Event Center enough for making this The Best Day Ever!!!

We had a great experience with our wedding reception and cocktail hour at the Bend in early November. We planned our wedding from out of state, and various event staff were extremely responsive to all of our questions and phone calls/emails. Im...
portant dates for the food menu and guest counts were clearly communicated to us as well. The venue was stunning and perfectly fit our ~175 guests with enough room for a dance floor and 6-person band. We also loved the option to have the cocktail hour at the Combine, making it easy for guests to flow from cocktail hour to the reception room across the hall. The food was also great at cocktail hour and dinner, and our guests loved the late night snacks! Our guests also absolutely loved the close proximity to the Hyatt. Overall, the Bend is a 10/10 wedding venue with exceptionally professional staff who made our wedding vision come to life! We could not have envisioned a more perfect venue for our wedding.
