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 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!

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

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

I highly recommend having your next event at the Spinning Wheel! I had my daughter’s bridal shower there this past weekend, and it was a beautiful day from beginning to end. Katelyn and her staff were so professional and accommodating, and everything went without a hitch! I’m still getting calls and texts from guests at how amazing the food, atmosphere, the service was!

Recently I was invited to a graduation party at this place. The atmosphere was really pleasant to the entire group. The food serve was delicious. The entry was a cesar salad with ward breads. The meal were chicken, penne with vodka sauce, vegetable, Potatoes. Everything was good :). The dessert was a special ice cream with granola, in a ward apple pie. The bar was on point. The people were well prepared. The bartender was really nice and very attentive.

Recently celebrated our anniversary just a week ago. Everything about this venue was perfect. It was the perfect space for a beautiful dinner and dancing. Even though it was raining we were still able to have a very nice cocktail hour inside. Planning the event was seamless and the staff were very accommodating. Highly recommend if you're looking for a venue anything from a small gathering to a large family celebration.

A charming landmark in beautiful Redding. I had the chance to talk with one of the owners who gave me the history of the building. It was obvious to me that he puts his heart and soul into this place. I can't wait for the restaurant to reopen!

Google is insisting I went here but I never did and I don't know why they won't take it off my timeline

Disappointing to say the least! The grounds are beautiful as well as the venue itself. However, they fell very short on our 5.22.22 wedding. We felt as though we just got all the leftover staff that was not well trained and that reflected all throughout our reception from start to finish.We had 8 passed hor d’oeuvres where a lot if not more than half of our guests gave the feedback that they had not seen them. As the bride and groom a tray of each option was not set aside for us which the coordinator stated was an oversight on her end and also had the audacity to state she knew everything was served as she had some herself. My husband also asked one of the servers for a specific hor d’oeuvre and was ignored. So be okay with sharing what you paid for with the staff!Our bar selection was setup for the custom option instead of the premium which the event coordinator verbally owned up to when it was on a conference call with the owner but, then went back on their word when it was time for email correspondence and having things in writing. The drink server was not well trained and didn’t know the right portions for drinks or how to make basic drinks. We were told we would have had to pay extra for an actual “bartender” which was never mentioned ahead of time.The actual meals were delicious that’s the only positive I can really give this place and probably their only saving grace. Don’t expect doggy bags (they can’t give them out after 4 hours. Our meals were served at 1:30-2 and reception ended at 5:30 so if the food was packed it technically was not left out for 4 hours but that’s beside the point) and make sure your vendors actually eat or their meal will just be taken away untouched.For dessert we had a 3-tier cake for 63 guests and 5 vendors. Again, be prepared to share that as well as supposedly all of our cake was served. Don’t expect the tradition of the top tier being saved or any take home unless you ask. Also, not everyone was served coffee including the bride and groom yet again were forgotten about.There was also a list of other disappointments, but we wanted to touch the main points. Essentially, the ones that made us feel that we didn’t get what we paid for.So, we wouldn’t suggest this place if you want to be treated as people of importance as the bride and groom as well as your guests being attended to.
