White Bear Country Inn

Sharina was somewhat difficult to reach prior to my wedding, which worried me a little bit, but I have to say that when my wedding day arrived, she made any reservations I had completely disappear, and she totally blew me away. We had our ceremony elsewhere, but when we arrived at White Bear Country Inn, everything was perfect. The site was stunning, the setup was awesome, and we received compliments from our guests on absolutely everything, including the food. If you feel the need to micromanage your coordinators, you might be anxious about the level of communication; however, I feel completely confident in saying that Sharina really has her sh*t together and will put together a gorgeous reception with minimal direction. Just sit back and let her do her thing! She truly is a professional, and I would highly recommend both her and White Bear Country Inn to anyone.The only thing I had a slight issue with was that a 20% gratuity was automatically added in to the total from the start. I would have tipped at 20% anyway after my experience, but adding it in from the get-go seems a bit presumptuous since the gratuity should be based on your level of satisfaction with the service received. That's the way it is with nearly every wedding vendor though, so I think you'd be hard pressed to find a venue that didn't do that. Overall, I have no complaints - my wedding reception was amazing!

This place is wonderful to work with, beautiful, and they will treat you like a princess. They are not super expensive but not cheap either. You definitely get what you pay for and more!

I thought the process of taste testing was a little unreliable because you had to wait for someone to actual choose that menu item as their meal and then you can go in and taste it, but if someone is not choosing the item you will not be able to taste it.Also, simple questions from the bride/groom should not go weeks unanswered and take multiple more calls/emails to pry out an answer.

White Bear Country Inn was wonderful! Sharina prodvided with so much great help and assurance that everything would be taken care of, and it was! They were very flexible with our wants, needs and concerns. If I could redo my wedding, I would DEFINITELY be going back!

Food was excellent! Served hot, with many positive comments from guests especiall for the Walleye. Very easy to work with, provided ideas and feedback when asked. We had approx 130 guests, no surprizes, excellent service. This venue worked well for us!!!

Having our wedding at White Bear Country Inn was the best decision we made for our wedding. It was incredibly beautiful, and it was the best wedding food I have ever had. We got endless compliments, and heard from many that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Sharina did an awesome job of utilizing my decorations, it was 10 times more beautiful than I imagined! If we were to do it all over again we would pick white bear country inn!

The White Bear Country Inn was the perfect fit and venue for our wedding reception. The ballroom is large enough to accommodate a big wedding. We saw it as a bonus that there is just the one large ballroom, lending to just one reception a night. This guarantees your event will have the staff's full attention for the entire evening, and no danger of competing against or "spillover" from other events going on at the same time as your event. The hotel rooms and amenities are great - clean and quality furnishings. We thought all the services were competitively priced based on our search and shopping for vendors. We received many compliments on the food. The catering director and hotel manager are very easy to work with - organized and on top of everything, and very willing to work with the bride and groom requests. I would recommend the White Bear Country Inn to anyone looking to book a reception/party/celebration.

The day went very well. We all stayed at the hotel the night before the wedding as well and it was very convenient. When I asked any questions they were answered right away and usually it was already taken care of. Everything went exactly the way I wanted it to go!

Sharina was amazing, everything went smoothly and beautifully. The food was FANTASTIC, the staff was great, and I couldn't have asked for a better reception!

They were very helpful, organized and the food was great

Everyone did A great Job with our reception. The staff was so nice and curtious to us and all of our guests. The food was unbelievable. There were so many good compliments on the food. Also the way everything was all set up was just perfect and so convient. Such good memories from our wedding. Thank you all so very very much!!!!!!

We enjoyed working with the staff at Rudy's Redeye Grill and White Bear Country Inn. We would highly recommend their services to others. They were very easy to work with, timely, and they genuinely care. I am so thankful I had such responsible staff to work with on one of the most important days of my life.

White Bear Country Inn is a wonderful place to have a wedding. They worked to create a wedding that suited our needs/wants.We had attended other weddings at this venue, but they make each one special and unique. Mine was my dream and I was so thankful for all of the hardwork and thoughtfulness provided by the staff. Even when we had to clear out the head table in record time to get our first dance in before the photographer left us, they jumped right to it and helped us to get those special pictures done on time! They rocked!

I thought Sharina did a very good job at answering all of our questions. We waited around all night the night before to put the chair covers on the chairs but the people that booked there on Friday never left till way later then we were told so me and my husband did not get much sleep and had to go there at 4am to do so. Also the room that we got for the night was horrible. The bed was full of urine and was still soaked so we did not feel comfortable staying there and went home at 2am.

Teriffic place to have any type of event! I would do it again through White Bear Country Inn, no question at all!

Sharina was great! Very patient and flexible! Recommend her to anyone!
