Whispering Hearts Event Center was an amazing venue for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Lauren and her family were laid-back, helpful and incredibly friendly. They made everything feel so easy and anticipated needs that we didn't think of, and even provided us with a sweet customized gift that was completely unexpected. The property is absolutely beautiful, with lots of great spots outside for guests and photos, so we were able to keep the decor simple and let the natural setting shine. The venue is truly relatively affordable considering the size of the building (we had 130 guests and plenty of space without it feeling too empty), the scheduling (we had the venue from 9am to midnight!), and amenities (an amazing kitchen with plenty of fridge and oven space, ice on site, a bar with ample fridge space, plenty of parking, etc.). We couldn't be happier with our decision to have our special day at Whispering Hearts and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an stress-free, beautiful wedding experience. We also utilized the on-site rental house and were SO happy with our decision!

I don’t even know where to begin. Before the wedding day, Grace, Klara, and Tina went above and beyond on every single detail to make this day truly special. They were there every step of the way and responded so quickly. I know they were working with so many other weddings, but made me feel special like I was the only wedding they were focusing on. I knew the wedding day was going to be beautiful through the planning process but I couldn’t imagine it being as beautiful as it was. From the morning of getting ready, to riding away at night I was in awe the entire time. I felt like the luckiest girl/bride in the world getting married there and having the support from all the staff and support.
