Amazing venue, stress free planning

We booked A Bear and Bison Inn without having been there before and we weren’t able to visit ahead of time. Everything went so smoothly and we couldn’t have hoped for a better day! Communication was easy and they were very responsive. The list of recommended vendors they provided was super helpful and we ended up using photographers, bakery, and hair and make up artist they recommended and were very happy with all of the services. We loved that we could rent the entire venue for our friends and family, it made the weekend so special. From arrival to check out the service was exceptional. We appreciated all of the staff so much- they were friendly, helpful, checked in regularly and made sure that everything was on track. The food was amazing and our guests kept saying it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. I highly recommend A Bear and Bison, we had an excellent experience!
