- Kim WinegarEvent Manager | Crafting MemoriesThere’s nothing better than standing with a couple at the end of the night and hearing the words, “That was perfect.” After months (sometimes more than a year!) of planning, emailing, and dreaming together, seeing it all come together is the moment I live for. I’ve been in the hospitality world for nearly a decade, and for the past four years I’ve focused on events—because I love helping people celebrate what matters most. My favorite part of coordinating weddings at The Wilds is that no two are ever the same. I encourage couples to add personal touches—like naming your signature cocktails after your pets or bringing in McChickens as a nod to the drive-thru where you met. I want every wedding to feel like yours, not just another event on the calendar. Throughout the planning process, I help keep things calm, organized, and on track—with built-in check-ins, timeline management, and a few extra reminders to make sure nothing slips through the cracks. On the big day, I’m right there with you—ready with Plan B (and C) if needed, so you can relax and soak up every moment. At the end of the night, my goal is simple: I want you to look around and feel like it was everything you imagined—and more.
- Ricardo GonzalesFood & Beverage Manager | Delivering DetailsI’ve spent my career in hospitality, and one thing I’ve learned is that great service on a wedding day doesn’t happen by accident—it’s the result of careful planning, attention to detail, and strong communication behind the scenes. At The Wilds, my role is to make sure everything flows—from the first round of drinks to the last bite of late-night snacks. Weddings aren’t like any other event. They come with their own energy, expectations, and emotions. That’s why I take extra care in prepping our staff, walking through every detail in pre-shift meetings, and making sure every team member knows exactly what their role is. I always tell couples: choose what truly makes you happy. We’ll handle the rest. Whether that’s a refined dinner service or something as simple (and perfect) as pizza and Pepsi at the end of the night, my goal is to deliver an experience that feels smooth, thoughtful, and totally yours. To me, great service isn’t about being flawless—it’s about being ready, adaptable, and all in.
- Chef Tony WillisExecutive Chef | Flavor With PurposeFor me, crafting a wedding menu is about more than food—it’s about creating a memorable experience that complements the couple’s story, theme, and vision. Every detail matters, from sourcing the freshest ingredients to making sure the menu reflects your tastes, traditions, and dietary needs. I work closely with Dani, often starting with a conversation about budget, preferences, and any special requests—from gluten-free and vegan options to regional or ethnic cuisines that carry personal meaning. My process is rooted in preparation and timing. Behind every seamless service is a well-rehearsed routine, a kitchen team working in sync, and a plan built around the flow of your day. I collaborate closely with our wedding coordinator and service staff to ensure that what we serve aligns perfectly with the pace and feel of your celebration. I’ve done everything from classic chicken buffets to signature Steak Au Poivre, but nothing beats hearing a guest say, “That was the best meal I’ve ever had.” That’s what I aim for—every single time.

selected it for the large beautiful patio so we could have an outdoor cocktail hour. We also liked the layout of the banquet room and the pricing was very reasonable. We couldn't have been happier with our decision. Ricardo was great to work with, consistently communicating with us in planning and making sure that our vision was carried out. His customer service attitude really made it so enjoyable to plan the details and he was very open to special requests. Chef Tony was also great to work with and we got so many compliments on how good the food was. Even when there were a couple of glitches, Ricardo, Tony and the staff fixed it right away. We are so happy with how everything turned out and now have wonderful memories of celebrating with family and friends.

The Wilds in Prior Lake is the BEST location for your wedding!!
We hosted a wedding with over 200 guests this spring. The Wild’s location, facility, and staff were amazing. Th...
e location was perfectly suited to an outdoor ceremony, with a beautiful room inside for dinner and dancing. (Even for a group our size, the facility can move the ceremony inside if Minnesota weather doesn’t cooperate.)
They accommodated our special requests (e.g. a soft serve ice cream machine). The staff took care of us and our guests, going out of their way to make everyone feel special, especially the wedding party. They had tables set up when they said they would and helped pack up everything at the end of the night. We had a menu tasting to help us select the food. (Something that wasn’t offered by many of the other venues and caterers we talked to). We received many compliments on how good the food was. It’s not easy to service 200 plus plated dinners and have them all come out correctly. But from our guests comments, The Wilds nailed it.
It’s clear that Mike has a lot of experience in hosting large events. He gave us solid advice on how much food and beverage to order, to reduce waste and stay within budget. His friendliness is unmatched. Throughout the process Mike was very accessible and kept us involved in all decisions. He is professional and experienced and is excellent at both planning and execution! Working with Mike and The Wilds relieved us of much anxiety as we were always confident that the entire wedding and reception would be handled perfectly.
In retrospect we believe choosing to host our daughter’s wedding and reception at The Wilds was one of the best decisions we made and will immediately look to them for other events.

We were so grateful that we chose the Wilds for our ceremony and reception and would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for somewhere to get married!

Shannon took care of all of our decorations (centerpieces, guestbook table, gift table) and made it look perfect.

I would absolutely recommend The Wilds to other brides!

The entire staff was safe and did everything they could to ensure myself and my guests were as well.
If you want a low stress and amazing venue, I HIGHLY recommend The Wild’s!

If you go in with ideas that's great, but if you go in with nothing, Shannon will help you figure out it all. Anything from colors and decor to layout, timeline and desserts. We ended up using her recommendation for DJ, floral and desserts. All three of those were very accommodating with our last minute changes due to COVID, as was The Wilds. If anyone is looking for a fairly priced and extremely accommodating and helpful wedding venue, I would highly suggest The Wilds.

the changes we had to make. She allowed us to change our ceremony to The Wilds due to our church restrictions 4 weeks before our wedding date, we were able to change our final guest count the day before the wedding, and she decorated the reception area for us the day before the wedding. Shannon had great communication with us and was open about the changes with their facility due to COVID-19. I would recommend The Wilds to any couple that wants to get married, especially during a pandemic, because Shannon makes it easier!!

Due to Covid we ended up cancelling our wedding and she had our back the entire time and was great to work with. It was one of the hardest decisions to cancel because not all vendors were that great to work with. You will be in good hands at the Wild's!

We were in constant contact with all of the changes that had to be made due to the virus. I could reach her any day of the week. Our wedding turned out perfect, even during a pandemic! Shannon is so flexible, works with your budget, and is an expert at weddings. People raved about our food. The outdoor patio is great, especially during these times where a lot of people want to socially distance. We could not be more happy with how our wedding turned out.

zing and you can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and wants your day to be absolutely perfect -- which is so comforting.
We were supposed to have our ceremony outdoors, but had to move it inside due to the cold, rainy weather. I was pretty bummed at first, but Shannon quickly put me at ease with her confidence and positive energy. She assured me they would make it the most beautiful day for us -- rain or shine! And that they did. The end result was absolutely stunning.
We were so impressed by how quickly they turned the room for the reception. Our guests raved about the amazing food and service and said it was the best they have ever had at a wedding.
Shannon and her team truly were the best! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for making our day so special!

We also chose our dinner from the Wild's menu and, from the compliments that we got from our guests, that was a smashing success as well!
Overall, the help that we got from the Wilds had a huge impact on our wedding day because we were confident that nothing would go wrong that we didn't have the help and know-how needed to fix it. Plus, the price was very competitive!

My husband and I absolutely recommend The Wild's as your wedding venue! After looking at several locations, we were sold on The Wild's because of the affordability, gorgeous patio/...
green golf course/spacious reception area, and most of all because of the AMAZING catering manager/coordinator Shannon! Shannon is the most spunky, enthusiastic, in-love-with-her-job woman we have ever met! She gave us the confidence that we could put a wedding together in 6 months and she would do whatever needed to make our dream wedding a reality. The Wild's has in house catering, handles all event set up and decor, and Shannon gave us several suggestions for other vendors (floral, photography, DJ, etc.) to make the planning process even simpler. Every question that came up during the planning process was answered day of and not a detail was left out. The night before our wedding we rehearsed and brought all of our ceremony and reception items to the venue to be stored for ease of set up the next day. We were amazed that The Wild's staff (Cheryl in particular) was going to set everything up for us day of so we would have nothing to worry about! Day of, the patio looked amazing, we took awesome photos all around the golf course, and received many compliments on the food--we chose the combination meal of steak and chicken and the chef was flexible with making accommodations for dietary restrictions. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!

ay. That has everything to do with Shannon Trout and her incredible staff at The Wild’s Golf Club. Working with Shannon was by far and away the easiest/most enjoyable piece of planning our wedding. Her knowledge and experience make her an expert, and all of our questions were answered so quickly and the advice she provided was on point because she knows what works and what doesn’t. This is not her first rodeo! The whole staff shares this. They are experienced, professional, and service oriented. We have gotten at least 30-40 seperate comments on how good the food was. Mostly, “I can’t believe it was so hot and fresh” and “That didn’t taste like any wedding food I have ever had!” The ceremony was gorgeous and the staff worked so efficiently to make the transition from outside to inside for the reception that no one even noticed that the chairs were all brought back in and around the tables in under 15 min!! Shannon and her staff truly went above and beyond for us, she even had creme brûlée made for my wife and I for dessert because we told her it was our favorite. My wife and I were so impressed with The Wild’s we are trying to come up with another event that we can have there!! We will be back to play golf, have many brunches, lunches, and dinners. (Also, we would miss Shannon too much not to come back and see she and Cosette) :)

Food was the best I've had at any such event. Tasty and juicy and nothing was overcooked. Shannon assured me from day one to relax and she would take care of us and she sure did bring the house down. Our hearts are glad. Our memories of this beautiful milestone is because Shannon helped us execute something we once dreamed off. Thank you Shannon and God bless you. I would give you 10 stars if I could but I'm only allowed 5. So against all that is within me here are my 5 stars. You're an asset to your company. Gracias, Danke! Merci!

Shannon was also amazing to work with. She was always available to answer our questions. She was also knowledgeable about weddings. She recommended many vendors to use and after our research, we found out her vendors were the best.
I would highly recommend The Wilds Golf Club for weddings because they have a beautiful indoor and outdoor wedding space, the food was delicious, and they helped to make our wedding day flawless.

This is the perfect location to book your wedding! They were so accommodating and willing to work with us on pricing. They were by far the most reasonable price we found and everyt...
hing that we were looking for. When looking at venues, they allowed us to come numerous times to sample the food, and see a few different weddings set up. Each time they showed us around and made sure we were making the right choice. Shannon, the AMAZING wedding coordinator, was very prompt in replying to emails and would answer every one of my crazy questions and requests. There was nothing too far out of reach, they made everything work for us! Our center pieces were complimentary, beautiful, and exactly what we had wanted. A few days before our wedding, we dropped off a box of stuff with post it notes what is was for and we showed up to the reception!!!! Biggest stress relief ever! They do such a beautiful job at setting things up and making it look great. The venue is gorgeous as is and everything else just adds to it. The lights and the tulle on the ceiling help make it look elegant. The under cover security guard makes sure there are no issues and all of the staff are so friendly and helpful.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about The Wilds. They were so reasonably priced and THE GREATEST staff to work with. Your wedding day will go perfectly smooth and Shannon and her staff will make sure of that! Check out The Wilds, you will fall in love!

I knew that I wanted my reception to be at The Wilds as soon as I got engaged. From the first meeting with Shannon, I knew we were in great hands. Anytime I or my parents had a que...
stion, we would email and get prompt responses. A few weeks before our wedding, we had a final meeting. Shannon was able to tell us exactly how things would run on the day of. As apart of the rental cost, you get your choice of linens and many decorative pieces. Not having to rent those on my own, was a time and money savings. The food is wonderful. Many guests came up to me at our reception and told me how much they enjoyed their dinners. Having a patio to sit outside was also a bonus. Overall, great experience at The Wilds.
