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!
