We held our daughter's wedding reception at the Wilds in September 2023 and we loved the venue. We hosted 220 guests with passed appetizers, a plated meal and dance. We originally selected it for the large beautiful patio so we could have an outdoor cocktail hour. We also liked the layout of the banquet room and the pricing was very reasonable. We couldn't have been happier with our decision. Ricardo was great to work with, consistently communicating with us in planning and making sure that our vision was carried out. His customer service attitude really made it so enjoyable to plan the details and he was very open to special requests. Chef Tony was also great to work with and we got so many compliments on how good the food was. Even when there were a couple of glitches, Ricardo, Tony and the staff fixed it right away. We are so happy with how everything turned out and now have wonderful memories of celebrating with family and friends. Reviewed on 26-09-2023
James Finch(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-06-2022 The Wilds in Prior Lake is the BEST location for your wedding!! We hosted a wedding with over 200 guests this spring. The Wild’s location, facility, and staff were amazing. The location was perfectly suited to an outdoor ceremony, with a beautiful room inside for dinner and dancing. (Even for a group our size, the facility can move the ceremony inside if Minnesota weather doesn’t cooperate.) They accommodated our special requests (e.g. a soft serve ice cream machine). The staff took care of us and our guests, going out of their way to make everyone feel special, especially the wedding party. They had tables set up when they said they would and helped pack up everything at the end of the night. We had a menu tasting to help us select the food. (Something that wasn’t offered by many of the other venues and caterers we talked to). We received many compliments on how good the food was. It’s not easy to service 200 plus plated dinners and have them all come out correctly. But from our guests comments, The Wilds nailed it. It’s clear that Mike has a lot of experience in hosting large events. He gave us solid advice on how much food and beverage to order, to reduce waste and stay within budget. His friendliness is unmatched. Throughout the process Mike was very accessible and kept us involved in all decisions. He is professional and experienced and is excellent at both planning and execution! Working with Mike and The Wilds relieved us of much anxiety as we were always confident that the entire wedding and reception would be handled perfectly. In retrospect we believe choosing to host our daughter’s wedding and reception at The Wilds was one of the best decisions we made and will immediately look to them for other events.

Hannah Hoffman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-08-2020 Shannon and the Wilds were AMAZING hosts for our wedding. During such a crazy and uncertain time, planning a wedding was definitely stressful. But Shannon and all of the staff at the Wilds made things so much less stressful. They were committed to giving us the wedding we imagined while also keeping guests and staff safe. I can't imagine that any other venue would have been so helpful during this crazy time! The patio and dining room were absolutely beautiful, and the staff did all of the set up which was super helpful for us. The food was DELICIOUS and reasonably priced too. We were so grateful that we chose the Wilds for our ceremony and reception and would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for somewhere to get married! Reviewed on 26-10-2020
Megan Schouvieller(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-10-2020 The Wilds was everything I could have asked for! The event coordinator, Shannon, was AMAZING to work with! I cannot say enough great things about Shannon and her team. Shannon made everything come together and was incredibly responsive. When we had some surprise snow, she quickly made hot chocolate for all of our guests. Shannon took care of all of our decorations (centerpieces, guestbook table, gift table) and made it look perfect. Our guests gave us so many compliments about the food and the timing of the meal was flawless. The outdoor spaces were beautiful for pictures and provided so many different natural backgrounds. I would absolutely recommend The Wilds to other brides! Reviewed on 25-10-2020
Raechel Waletich(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-10-2020 Due to recent restrictions, I had to change my reception venue two weeks before my wedding. Luckily, The Wild’s had an opening because of a recent cancellation. Shannon and her team were nothing short of amazing! Within those two weeks she helped us plan food/drink menu, decorations and everything else we needed on our wedding day. She was very responsive to any questions or requests we had. The food was fantastic, we are still getting compliments from our guests two weeks after. The entire staff was safe and did everything they could to ensure myself and my guests were as well.

Julie Gosz(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-03-2020 My husband and I chose The Wilds for a few reasons, size of the venue, cost, location and guidance and help from their wedding coordinator, Shannon. Due to COVID, we did not end up getting married at The Wilds, but we wanted to give feedback on the reasons we originally chose this venue. Shannon was very helpful with any and all details and planning. If you go in with ideas that's great, but if you go in with nothing, Shannon will help you figure out it all. Anything from colors and decor to layout, timeline and desserts. We ended up using her recommendation for DJ, floral and desserts. All three of those were very accommodating with our last minute changes due to COVID, as was The Wilds. If anyone is looking for a fairly priced and extremely accommodating and helpful wedding venue, I would highly suggest The Wilds. Reviewed on 20-10-2020
Becky Koepp(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-09-2020 We LOVED The Wilds!! Shannon was the reason we decided to continue with getting married during a pandemic and we are so glad we did! She made the process so smooth even with all of the changes we had to make. She allowed us to change our ceremony to The Wilds due to our church restrictions 4 weeks before our wedding date, we were able to change our final guest count the day before the wedding, and she decorated the reception area for us the day before the wedding. Shannon had great communication with us and was open about the changes with their facility due to COVID-19.

She is literally the main reason we chose the Wild's and the fact it's on a beautiful golf course makes the venue perfect. Even as I was booking my other vendors and told them we were getting married at the Wild's they would immediately say Shannon is the best and everyone would know her name. Due to Covid we ended up cancelling our wedding and she had our back the entire time and was great to work with.

Hanna Jakobek(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-06-2020 We were the first wedding of 2020 due to COVID. I cannot say enough good things about The Wilds, but more specifically Shannon Trout. We booked the venue last fall, and Shannon was a dream to work with. She has been with The Wilds for 18 years, and is seriously one of the hardest workers we have ever met. We were in constant contact with all of the changes that had to be made due to the virus. I could reach her any day of the week. Our wedding turned out perfect, even during a pandemic! Shannon is so flexible, works with your budget, and is an expert at weddings. People raved about our food. The outdoor patio is great, especially during these times where a lot of people want to socially distance. We could not be more happy with how our wedding turned out. Reviewed on 07-07-2020

The communication was amazing and you can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and wants your day to be absolutely perfect -- which is so comforting. We were supposed to have our ceremony outdoors, but had to move it inside due to the cold, rainy weather. I was pretty bummed at first, but Shannon quickly put me at ease with her confidence and positive energy. She assured me they would make it the most beautiful day for us -- rain or shine! And that they did. The end result was absolutely stunning. We were so impressed by how quickly they turned the room for the reception.

Danielle Metcalf(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-08-2019 Unprofessional staff. My wedding ended up being beautiful but there were sooo many hiccups along the way I wish I went elsewhere. The bar manager had enough nerve to not only yell at the entire wedding party for taking pictures at a tree (which the first manager said was OK just to watch for golfers) then continued to complain about my mother to the entire staff. Unfortunately the managers terrible attitude and disrespectful comments about my mother ruined all that Shannon and Cheryl did. Reviewed on 05-11-2019

The food was delicious and the chef was willing to work with us to combine things that they normally did not. The decorating was amazing. We did not really have to purchase anything because they had so many options through them that didn't cost extra. The staff was incredible and was there asking if I needed anything while we were doing a walk through even prior to booking, and they were there taking care of me day of as well. I wish I could go on and on and on about the incredible service we received but space is limited! Call Shannon, at least visit and I promise you will want to book. Reviewed on 17-12-2017

Our overall experience with The Wilds was pretty good. In regards to our wedding day, things went well. I felt as though I didn't have to worry about anything. They were on top of all set-up with our family setting up the tables, as well as with all of our vendors. They also took control of the social hour, dinner, cake, etc. Also, they were on top of who were the contacts for the alcohol throughout the night so they were not bugging my husband and I throughout the night for unnecessary reasons. We got many compliments about the presentation of the venue, food, and overall experience. The only hiccup we had was at the end of the night - the remaining workers, not Shannon -our main contact, thought they had cut into the top of our wedding cake because they thought they could have because it wasn't written down on our \"contract\ Reviewed on 31-10-2017
Erin Brownell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-10-2017 I was AMAZED by how great the Wilds was for my wedding. Shannon was a pleasure to work with and was available for me whenever I needed and responded to countless emails of questions I had. She also helped me have the most stress free day for my wedding. I had about 380 people attend my wedding and I am still receiving compliments on how amazing of a venue I had and how that was the BEST FOOD they ever had at a wedding. Everything was perfection and I could not have asked for a more perfect day. It was raining almost all day for my wedding and not one person complained or even mentioned the rain. That is how you know everybody was pleased. :) I highly recommend the Wilds and Shannon for anybody who wants an amazing wedding! Reviewed on 27-10-2017

Shannon and her staff did most all of the setup for our reception which was so helpful and really took the stress off of us. Our cake was delivered without the flowers we had specified and the team at the Wilds stepped up and added some of our extra flowers to the cake to make it look more complete.

We toured the venue with Shannon, the event coordinator, and immediately fell in love with her and the venue. We visited two more places after that, and we compared everything we saw to The Wilds. Shannon is so easy to work with, she is completely dedicated to her job, and she is phenomenal at what she does. We chose The Wilds because of what they had to offer and because we knew we'd be working with Shannon for the majority of the process. They offer an outdoor ceremony option on their back patio that is absolutely GORGEOUS. They also have a bride's room and rooms in the basement for both the males and females to get ready. There are so many perfect photo opportunities all around the building, including opportunities with views of the golf course. The Wilds offered everything we needed and then some, even for a guest list of 300! Their prices are reasonable, they don't charge a \"room rental\" (aka: throwing money away solely to use the room), and they have so many connections with vendors that it was a no-brainer for us!

She is so good at what she does I cant say enough about her. A few things that stood out that you wont find other places is the quick response time ( which is so nice when planning your big day, you will get a response within hours), if your not sure on something just ask her- she has so many ideas and recommendations that are so helpful and lastly her caring and cheerful personality, she really cares about you and wants this to be the best day ever and she will make sure on her behalf that it is!

Shannon was one of the biggest selling points for us - her courteous, cheerful attitude and her willingness to provide for us whatever we needed was so important to us and made our day special. The venue itself was wonderful, with the outdoor patio, ceiling tulle, and room to accommodate our large wedding - we had a wedding reception of 350 that seated everyone comfortably, and we also had a smaller reception for our church of 100 one week later that was also comfortable, and the room never felt too big or too snug.

Amy Kjorlien(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-07-2016 We wandered into The Wilds without an appointment and were welcomed by Shannon and escorted to her office so that we could chat...even tho she had a wedding starting very soon! It was evident from the beginning that Shannon was efficient and professional and we were impressed with what The Wilds had to offer. We loved the setting and were excited by all that Shannon told us about. We liked that the Wilds had somewhat of a one-stop-shop feel....we were planning from out of state and it was nice knowing so many things were included if we chose The Wilds!! We settled on the Wilds for our June 22 wedding and were very pleased. Though we didn't necessarily want to get married on a golf course the views are fantastic and offer great photography options. We had hoped to get married on their beautiful patio but the weather turned out to be much too hot. This wasn't a problem for Shannon and her staff! They turned their banquet room into a lovely spot for our ceremony and then with ease changed it over for our dinner and reception. We were impressed with all of the food choices. Our guests said that the food was good, served in a timely manner, and was an adequate temperature! I am a vegetarian but I don't like onions....the dish was covered in them...but that was no problem for Shannon's efficient team...the brought me a fresh plate without a problem which was wonderful! We took some photographs off site before dinner and were a little late returning...Shannon and her staff had no problem adjusting for us!! Our guests loved the sundae bar and the late night pizza and our bartender was fantastic! We only had one issue which is the reason for our 4 star review...Our rehearsal was a bit chaotic and unorganized as there was no one from the staff who stayed with us to help guide us...it was too hot to go outside so we had to wing it a bit and ended up rehearsing in the main entrance! We made it but it would of been nice to have some more direction from the staff. There was a large golf tournament going on so things were very busy...which we understood...but we felt a bit forgotten. Also, after giving instructions to a staff member at rehearsal it was our understanding that several items would be in place well before our ceremony began (our guestbook, several photographs in frames, some signage, and mainly our escort cards). This was not carried out and our florist and our wedding coordinator had to do everything at the last minute. Other than that everything went very smoothly and we were very pleased! Thanks, Shannon, to you and your staff for all of your hard work to help make our day so special! Reviewed on 29-08-2016
Christie Aase(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-07-2016 We were torn between choosing The Wilds and a new facility in a nearby city. The coordinator agreed to hold our date without a deposit while we reviewed the costs (unless someone else expressed interest in our date - in which case we would need to decide in 24 hours). I'm so happy we went with The Wilds. They had the experience of doing weddings that I greatly appreciated. The outdoor space was lovely, the food was AMAZING. They did all of the set up and I felt like I had no reason to be worried. It looked beautiful and we received a lot of compliments. We also could have our dogs as part of our ceremony, they were welcomed outside (and would have been welcomed indoors too for rainy weather). Big plus for us! Reviewed on 19-07-2016
Cindy Posner(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-12-2015 Shannon, the event coordinator, was simply AMAZING! She offered all of her wisdom and experience and made the wedding more special. Every time we had a decision to make (table center pieces, cake stand, archway) she offered what she had on hand and everything was beautiful. She did an unbelievable job with the small last minute changes that occurred. The decor was simply amazing. We couldn't have ask for more. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Reviewed on 22-06-2016
Megan Wichmann(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-12-2015 This place was absolutely perfect! We got married in December and had both our ceremony and reception at The Wilds. Everything came together perfectly and Shannon was such a big help! She took care of more than I ever would have imagined which took away a lot of the stress. Since the ceremony and reception took place in the same room they had to flip the room in-between and they did it extremely quick! We got the most compliments on how delicious the food was. I would definitely recommend this venue for a wedding! Reviewed on 10-04-2016
