My brother's rehearsal dinner was here. I was incredibly impressed with everything! Nothing but good things to say about the food and service.
My husband and I had our wedding reception at The Spinning Wheel at the end of August and we have nothing but positive things to say. The venue met our expectations, the night went off without a hitch and Katlyn was awesome to work with. We had about 60 people at our reception and found it to be a nice amount of people for the space. The hors d'oeuvres and all food were very tasty and everyone had a blast. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
Wow! This is an amazing venue! My fiance and I had our baby shower here and we were blown away. The grounds are stunning, the service is top notch, food is awesome and the ambiance is incredible. A special thank you to Katlyn who helped orchestrate everything. If you are looking to host a special occasion, I would 110% recommend the Spinning Wheel!
We had our wedding here this past July.
Thanks to Katlyn and the rest of the staff, our day was amazing. From the planning stage, to the rehearsal the night before, to the actual wedding day, we could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding!
It is obviously stunning with the gardens, but the food and atmosphere are also noteworthy. The appetizers and dinner were outstanding and our guests kept saying they loved their meal as they left our wedding.
At the end of the night, Katlyn and the rest of the staff hustled to get everything cleaned up and put back into the boxes. It was truly wild how quickly they got the room packed away. Then they allowed us to pick up all of our decor the next day.
Thank you to Katlyn and all of the other hard working staff from our wedding. It felt like pure magic.
I had my daughter's baby shower Beautiful venue, Excellent food, very friendly & accommodating staff.. Would highly recommend the Spinning Wheel.
We had our wedding at The Spinning Wheel on 6.28.25. I couldn’t be happier with how the day went. Katelyn was wonderful! The venue was so perfect! Highly Recommend!!!
We had our daughters Sweet 16 here. Katlyn and her staff were absolutely amazing with all the attention to the details. The food was excellent! Thank you for a memorable evening.
Nice food and service.
We had our wedding at The Spinning Wheel this past December. When I tell you it was amazing, it was nothing short of the best day of our lives. All thanks to Katlyn and her wonderful staff. Katlyn did her absolute best to make sure this day was everything we wanted it to be, from start to finish. Including helping setup, and take apart all of our decorations that we brought in. Not only this, but when the Bartender called out the day of our wedding, she jumped back there and got drinks out like a pro. This day wouldn’t have been what it was, without her. Katlyn answered our questions honestly and respectfully at all stages of the process. When she had an unforeseen inconvenience, on top of an unexpected delayed start from us, she picked up the slack and delivered. This day was beautiful and turned out to be exactly what we hoped it would be all thanks to Katlyn and her amazing staff!

Don’t be fooled by the prior reviews left by a disgruntled family, who supposedly went home and had each family member press copy and paste.. To insinuate that their staff was underage after you are unsatisfied, is a new low. As Bride and Groom, it’s your job to vet the space and make sure it works for you. If it doesn’t for as many reasons as claimed.. it’s likely your fault.

I highly recommend brides to check google and yelp reviews before booking this venue. They are actively disputing negative reviews on Zola, wedding wire, and the knot. I had a terrible experience with them, and it makes me wonder how many negative reviews they get taken down . Feel free to reach out to me if you’d like to know my experience, I have unanswered emails from them outlining all my complaints, that again, they didn’t have the courtesy to answer. They’re cheap; they didn’t serve nearly enough food at my cocktail hour and started cutting off guests an hour into our wedding. We paid for open bar and transportation, totally unacceptable. One of the bar tenders threatened to kick the grooms father out, disgusting. Bar lines were half hour long, owner was rude to the groom and my sister. Just all around awful experience. They advertise up to 150 guest, they are not equipped for that. They hire teenage staff who are inexperienced, and it shows. 0 stars
I’m a recent bride (October 2024) just read my email to the spinning to see everywhere they went wrong. In addition to all the below, I was told by family that some plates only had 1 carrot on them, another friend didn’t even get a meal. They were running out of food. They were so underprepared for my wedding and didn’t offer anything to make it right, not even an apology. I sent this email a week ago, and no response. Do not recommend this venue. I wish I went with a different one.
HORRIBLE. I recently attended a wedding at The Spinning Wheel, and I must express my deep dissatisfaction with the entire experience.
The bride and groom had paid for an open bar for over 120 guests, yet the venue only provided a tiny makeshift bar outside with just two bartenders. This resulted in ridiculously long lines—over 30 minutes for a drink. To make matters worse, the young bartenders, who appeared to be barely out of their teens, began cutting guests off within the first hour, despite no one being overly intoxicated. It was absurd to see them turning away guests who were just trying to enjoy the celebration.
When I approached the owner to address this issue on behalf of the bride + groom, he lied and claimed that only one guest had been cut off. However, after speaking with the bartenders, it became clear that the count was currently at five guests that had been refused service. The atmosphere became tense, and it felt as if the staff were more interested in conserving alcohol for future events than ensuring that guests could enjoy the celebration. The owner asked to speak in a side room once he realized other guests could hear him. His attitude was even WORSE in private.
Overall, my experience at The Spinning Wheel was far from what one would expect from a wedding venue. I cannot recommend this place to anyone looking for a professional and enjoyable setting for their special day. The owner’s attitude and the poor bar service left a sour taste. Save yourself the hassle and choose a venue that values its guests and provides the service you deserve!
Save your money and book elsewhere.
DO NOT HAVE ANY EVENTS HERE. The spinning wheel was totally out of line at my sisters wedding. She had 125 guests, drink line was about 30 minutes long, they had a young boy making the drinks. Then after maybe 2 hours being there they started to cut people off (mind you, we were not drinking crazy because the line took forever and no one drove to the venue) the bartender ADMITTED to me that she was watering down drinks and not putting enough alcohol in each drink. We spoke to the owner and he was so unprofessional and outright RUDE. Once we questioned the age of the young bartender, they took him off service (suspicious ) to end the all, they put up at sign at 9pm to let us know the bar was closed. NO warning, NOTHING. Also, we went for cocktail hour, they played music off a iPad/ 1 speaker and locked everyone out of the room. I had left my purse and phone in there and was not allowed to get it for over a HOUR. This place is a DISGRACE. I feel so bad for any bride and groom
