What Our Brides are Saying
- Beautiful scenery and fantastic hosts. I had my wedding here in June of last year and it was a wonderful experience. We ended up renting the beautiful driftwood pavilion as well as two of their larger cabins which was helpful as the bridal party was able to stay there the night before. The staff was alway available for my questions and were incredibly helpful the day of the wedding. We had a walk through of the sound system which made using it very easy. The waterfall next to the pavilion made for great wedding photos. All around an amazing time and I would highly recommend using Bear Paw Adventure for your big day.
- Great venue- beautiful! Coordinator, Corrine, did a great job talking and helping with vendors. A bit more communication on some timing details would have helped but overall it was a big success, everyone had a splendid time and nothing but positive things to say! We agree :)
- 10/10! We got married on June, 11, 2022. This was the most perfect venue and exactly what we wanted for our special day! We booked all four cabins and they were perfect for our guests to stay at after the wedding ceremony! Corrine and John did a great job at communicating before the event and made sure all our needs were met. The cake they got us was perfect and the venue set up was exactly what we wanted. Corrine did a fabulous job the day before and the day of the wedding ceremony and all the recommendations up to the ceremony we went with (caterer, florist, etc). 5 stars is not enough! Thank you for making our day perfect!
- Having our wedding at Bear Paw Adventure was an amazing and incredible experience. The onsite accommodations were clean and comfortable and the wedding pavilion itself took our breath away. It was unique and stunning, looking back on our photos I am so thankful for each and every little detail. All of the staff were amazing hosts and the whole night was smooth and hassle free. We are so grateful to have been married in such a beautiful, stunning and memorable location. I would highly recommend to anyone local or for those planning their dream destination wedding.
