“Our wedding at Whistle Bear was everything we could have hoped for. During the planning process, we worked with Leah, and she was fantastic!
The day of we worked with Lindsey and Melinda, and they were AMAZING! They made sure everything ran smoothly and that all our guests needs were met. We got so many comments throughout and after the wedding about the impeccable service, the amazing food and how gorgeous the venue was. Melinda and Lindsey are fantastic at their jobs – they helped give us the most perfect day! We would 10000% recommend Whistle Bear to anyone and everyone looking for their dream wedding!”
