Amazing in every way!
To Lauren and all of the staff at Whistle Bear,
THANK YOU! Thank you so much for helping to execute the wedding that we were waiting and longed for. The moment Caleb and I walked into the venue, we knew immediately that it was for us. We got so excited about everything and most importantly, the place where it all would begin for us. The booking process was very smooth and easy, even when COVID threw a wrench in our plans. We did end up having to postpone and even though this was not the easiest decision to make, the staff at Whistle Bear made the date change happen. They were on the ball and organized (matched me on my organizational level :)) when it came to the planning and execution of our wedding. Anything that we needed, they provided. Any question that we had, they answered. Any ideas that we bounced off of them, they contributed very helpful responses. The FOOD….OMG THE FOOD!!!! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. It was hands down the best food I have ever had at a venue and the best prime rib I have ever had in my life. We have been craving it ever since. All of the guests even commented on how amazing it was. The maitre d and concierge (Katie and Melinda) were incredible and helped to execute the day perfectly. They constantly checked in with Caleb and I to make sure we had everything that we needed. Overall, we were extremely happy with Whistle Bear and how everything turned out during (what could have been) a very stressful event. We cannot thank you enough.Whistle Bear Golf Club's reply:
Miranda and Caleb - we are so thankful you celebrated your wedding with us! What a journey and we are so happy to be a part of it. We cannot wait to welcome you back one day soon to curb that prime rib craving -

Great on the day of, frustrating before and after
There is no doubt that Whistle Bear is a stunning wedding venue! The actual day of our wedding was wonderful!
The reason this is not a 5 star review is there were many instances before and after our wedding which made the planning process with Whistle Bear frustrating.
Just as one example, when we signed our contract with Whistle Bear they promised they could accommodate all round tables. Even provided us a sample floor plan. Later on when we spoke to Whistle Bear again, they said that they could not accommodate all round tables and that the floor plan they originally provided was not physically possible. Additionally, If you are not from the Kitchener / Waterloo area like we are, know that pre wedding events such as the tastings and the rehearsal are scheduled mid week, making it really difficult to accommodate.
After the wedding, a basket with all our wedding gifts was missing (turns out it got left behind in the bridal suite closet). We called whistle Bear to ask them to check the bridal suite closet to see if it was there and they were very dismissive, insisting that there was nothing left behind and that everything was removed from the reception/ bridal suite, and refusing to check or help in any way. Thankfully we went to the venue ourselves to look because it was exactly where we said it had been. If whistle bear had tried to help instead of very much brushing us off, it would have saved a lot of time and stress for us the day after our wedding.Whistle Bear Golf Club's reply:
Christine & Kevin,
We're so happy to hear that you had the most perfect wedding day at Whistle Bear! Thank you again for taking the time to speak with us yesterday about your feelings/frustrations. We're also grateful that you took the time to leave your feedback regarding your experience during the planning process as well as the miscommunication on the day after your wedding. We wanted to extend our sincere apologies again. We hope that this experience does not shine a dark light on the perfect day you had at Whistle Bear.

Thank you again and we will be in touch,

BEST place to get married!!
I can’t say enough great things about Whistle Bear. Everyone who works here is incredible - responsive, flexible, and helpful every step of the way. Leah was our consultant as we planned our wedding and she was so amazing to work with. Julia was our Maître D throughout our wedding day and kept everything on track and organized the whole day! She always made sure we had food and drinks, and worked constantly behind the scenes to keep everything going. I really can’t express how amazing she was - thank you Julia!!! I received so many compliments about how organized the wedding was, and how beautiful the venue is. It’s truly so stunning - between the ceremony chapel, the golf fields/waterfalls, and the beautifully decorated reception space. It’s the most perfect, magical place to get married. And the food!!! Again, I had so many compliments about the food.
The staff at Whistle Bear will work with you every step of the way to make sure your wedding is your DREAM day. Ask, and they deliver. Thank you SO much to Leah, Julia, and everyone at Whistle Bear for hosting the absolute most perfect day for me and my husband.-

Dream wedding
Whistle bear was a dream venue for us! It was absolutely stunning. Our guests are all still talking about how delicious and hot the food was. Lauren was our consultant and was absolutely incredible during the planning process! She was very responsive to my (too many) emails and very accommodating. There isn’t a single thing we would change about our day. Thank you to whistle bear, Lauren and all staff involved in hosting our wedding— it truly was a dream come true!Whistle Bear Golf Club's reply:

Dream Wedding
Everything was perfectly executed and planned. When you have your wedding with Whistle Bear, you can tell that they have done this before! All of our questions were answered very clearly. On the day of the event we truely felt special, and they made every effort to make us feel that way. Many little touches that I wouldn't have even though of that were truely excellent (like food in the bridal suite before the ceremony to drinks and cocktails set up where family photos would be done after the ceremony, and a little snack box for the bridal party photobrouteWhistle Bear Golf Club's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Laura!
It was such a pleasure working with you and Brian and we are so happy that the team made you feel special on your big day.

We had our fairtytale wedding at Whistle Bear
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 ours and 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!Whistle Bear Golf Club's reply:

Simply Magical
Excellent service, I couldn't choose a better place to do my wedding.
The ceremony and the reception were stunning. The food was exquisite! The ceremony was fabulous; our pianist and violinist (Strings & Ivory) AWESOME! their job was with an exceptional professional standard. The cocktail and live music were so romantic. Our DJ, Owen (eardrum), put on a good atmosphere. Our photographer was terrific, running everywhere to get the perfect shot. So kind and professional at all times. Thank you (SARAH STUCKLESS PHOTOGRAPHY). To be honest, some details didn't go as planned, but that's part of every "perfect" planning... Overall, I'm so happy that I made my wedding at Whistler Bear.
Lauren, my event coordinator, was PERFECT. I say it with bias! She was attentive to every detail and was excellent in predisposition;
she accompanied us and helped us with everything. We are delighted with everything. The party turned out amazing! Thanks for everything!Whistle Bear Golf Club's reply:
Hi Alle, Thank you so much for the lovely review!!! I had so much fun planning your wedding with you and Markson!! You two have such an amazing relationship and story!!
Wishing you both all the love and happiness :) xxx

Best Dat Ever
I can’t say more great things about Whistle Bear and the Pearle team! They went above and beyond to make our day perfect! We worked with Leah throughout the planning process and she was amazing to work with, and answered any questions we had throughout. Natalie was our day of coordinator and she was so sweet and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed during our rehearsal and our wedding day! All the staff were so friendly and helpful, I would also like to thank immensely the staff that helped pack up all our table decor at the end of the night! We also got so many compliments on the food and how gorgeous venue was! It was such an incredible day and evening I can’t recommend Whistle Bear enough! Thank you again to everyone at Whistle Bear who helped make our day perfect!-

Outstanding Staff & Experience
Lauren and her team at Whistle Bear were amazing to work with and made our day so special! They made it their priority to make our wedding perfect. Lauren was so easy to work with, and did an incredible job helping us navigate through COVID-19. She was very supportive, patient and responsive throughout the planning process. The day of the wedding Melinda was our maître d'. She did such an incredible job ensuring everything went to plan and making sure we had everything we needed. She provided so many personal touches, and you could tell she really cared about making our day special. The grounds and the Forestview room are also so beautiful and exactly what we pictured for our wedding! Thank you Lauren, Melinda and the rest of the Whistle Bear team for making our day perfect! We would highly recommend this venue!Whistle Bear Golf Club's reply:
