We do! We have a list of vendors who we feel reflect our same experience while also providing excellent services and products. You may, however, use any vendor you choose, whether or not it's on our list. Note: All vendors must have a vendor agreement on file prior to working with us at Whispieria Woods.

Your vendors can come in as early as 10:00 am to start setting up. The wedding party​​ may arrive by 10am.

We can accommodate up to 100 people, depending on your desired setup.

Yes, but you must use a vendor from our Preferred Vendors list for alcohol. The beverage service and bartenders must be insured and certified by the state to practice responsible serving. They have theresponsibility to refuse service to minors and to any person appearing to be intoxicated. By requesting service of alcoholic beverages, you agree to accept all responsibility for any and all claims arising from your guests' consumption of alcoholic beverages.

Note: We do not allow pitchers or shots to be served.

Yes! We understand that having your furbest friend there for your special day is extremely important to you, so we welcome pets of all varieties on the property so long as they are kept on a leash! And said human will ensure that any “accidents” will be cleaned up. Due to possible allergies of our guests, you furbaby will not be allowed inside any of the buildings. With lots of outdoor areas, your pup is allowed to be in the wedding and on the property (but not inside any building). However, your pooch does need to be moved off site after the ceremony and photos. A signed waiver will be required.

TIP: Find someone to be your furbaby's sitter for the day. We encourage finding someone who is close to your pet but also someone who will not be needed for photos, standing in the ceremony, etc. This way your precious little pet has someone caring for them while they are on property if needed and you can be less worried about how they are doing.

Yes. We have a designated caterer’s prep area with a refrigerator, stove and sink.
