Awesome from start to finish

We held our school’s prom at The Wherehouse in May 2024. It was awesome from start to finish. The whole Wherehouse family was so inviting and accommodating to us. I had so many questions about things and they never made me feel like I was a bother at all. The whole day of prom went so smooth. We absolutely LOVED the appetizers. They were a hit! Please, if you are looking for a new place to have a prom or big function, please check out the Wherehouse, you won’t be disappointed!

Kim, Dave and their team went above and beyond to make our wedding plans became a reality. There were many catering food options, and all the food we had for rehearsal and wedding day were delicious. Our guests had wonderful things to say about the venue space and the food! The open layout of the venue provides an individualized approach to making your wedding dreams come true. The team helps guide the bride/groom on all the small details recommended for the wedding and are open to suggestions. We are beyond grateful and happy with our experience with this venue and catering business. We highly recommend hosting your next big event or wedding day at the Wherehouse of Hamburg!

Looking forward to having our wedding there!

My Fiancée and I just toured this venue and it was absolutely beautiful. We were very impressed with everything the venue offers and Dave who gave us a tour. When I first saw this venue online I thought there had to be a catch since the price was so affordable. However, we were completely impressed and are looking forward to having our wedding there!

We chose The WhereHouse to celebrate my daughter’s sweet 16, and it was an excellent choice. The venue itself is stunning, and the owners were incredibly accommodating throughout the planning process. They patiently guided us and provided valuable assistance every step of the way. Additionally, we opted for the Italian buffet they offered, and it was a hit with all our guests. Highly recommend!

Monika Hayward

Had my daughter’s HS Graduation here. Perfect place. Outdoor space with concrete patio to expand the party to as well as grass space to have yard games. Food was excellent, service was great. Lots of choices on the food packages to fit every type of function. Industrial space but well done to accommodate weddings or any type of gathering like family reunions, grad parties, anniversary etc.. Dave was very accommodating with our requests and gave us plenty of information – upon touring it we were hooked and immediately booked it without going anywhere else.

Monika Hayward

Great

AMAZING!!

I recently just had my wedding here and it was AMAZING!! All my guest said how beautiful and fun the night was. Working with the owners was great!! They are such good people, down to earth and really care for your needs. 10 out of 10 would 100% recommend booking an event here. I will miss working with them, it was a great time so easy to work with.

Paige Wenner

I would recommend this venue

The team at The Wherehouse of Hamburg were absolutely wonderful to work with from day one until the day of my wedding. They helped me organize some fine details I didn’t think about (because I didn’t have a coordinator it was super helpful for their feedback). It was nice to have the flexibility to arrange the wedding/reception how I’d like with the open space. I would recommend this venue to anyone for any type of event. I plan to host events here in the future. Thank you for all that you do and the hard work that goes behind ensuring the place is cleaned up for each wedding and arranging your schedules to accommodate your customers!

Wonderful way for our family to have Thanksgiving

What a wonderful way for our family to have Thanksgiving. The food was absolutely delicious. I especially love the sweet potatoes and filling. It was a nice atmosphere with country music playing. The owner and hostess Kim is so friendly and caring. My mother has difficulty walking, so Kim made sure the table was accessible. Thank you for a great day. We will be back every year.

Super good experience

Kim Smith

PERFECT!

PERFECT! I’m a 2026 bride & heard about this venue from being a part of my friend’s wedding in 2025. The space has so much to offer in such a unique setting. They have super AFFORDABLE catering, NO fees, and indoor & outdoor space. Kim is fantastic, I recently meet with her to discuss my wedding. Her & her husband go out of their way for you to feel comfortable. I felt like their family. For weddings you have the option of indoor or outdoor ceremony. They have chairs and tables included AMAZING!! They can customize what you are looking for!! They are really good quality chairs. They have a bar set up already and cocktail tables for cocktail hour. The restrooms are sooo clean. Can’t forget about the bridal suite. Such a nice place for you and the girls to get ready the morning of. The venue has multiple photo backdrops for any occasion inside! Their pricing is so affordable and transparent. If you thinking about bridal shower, retirement party, wedding (ceremony & reception) or a celebration THIS IS YOUR PLACE 10/10 give them a call!!
