Shelly is AMAZING! Really made our wedding weekend stress free. She was on top of everything. Our guests loved the venue and couldn’t say enough how beautiful it was. The venue comes with options of DJ, food vendors, and photographers but you can use your own. We took advantage of their DJ, photographer and food vendor and they were all amazing! We would definitely recommend having your wedding here. You won’t regret it! They even have a nice lodge for you to stay at on your wedding night. Our bridal party had a great time staying there with us.

Thank you, Rachel, for taking time to give us such a kind positive review. We apprciate that very much! It was an honor to host your wedding at WhipPoorWill and a pleasure to get to know you and Sam. Many blessings for a lifetime of happiness t...
ogether!
Shelly was the most kind, helpful, & loving host, & the venue was absolutely perfect! From big to small details, we couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. Lots of care, intentionality, and time went in behind the scenes to make sure our day ran smoothly, and Whippoorwill greatly exceeded our expectations. Highly HIGHLY recommend booking Whippoorwill for your special day:)
Shelly made my weddings the easiest and most perfect day! I wasn’t stressed at all because I knew any little hiccups that were inevitable Shelly would solve, whether it be with me or for me. All of her staff were extremely professional and helpful. She is the easiest person to get along with and takes pride in what she does. I tell everyone that they should get married here because my experience was so amazing. My husband and I will always be so thankful to Shelly for making our day so easy and so special!
Any questions?
Gorgeous venue, and amazing staff to work with. Loved getting assistance from the owner which made the planning less stressful. They have so much decor to rent from which was so nice because I didn’t have to go out and find and buy my own decor. Also love how they do one wedding a weekend, and getting to have the bridal party stay at the lodge for the whole weekend.

Such a joy, Megan, to host your wedding at WhipPoorWill and have the opportunity to take part in your special day! Thank you for taking time to give us feedback. I so enjoyed getting to know you and Jacob and your families!
I cannot recommend this venue enough. They make the entire experience something special and so easy. The barn and property are absolutely beautiful and well maintained by the owners. The house to get ready in and stay in after the wedding was beautiful and spacious. The whole thing is like something out of a movie. I am so happy my now husband and I chose this venue. They truly made sure our day was perfect

Amanda, thank you so very much for the kind and positive review. We truly appreciate you taking time to share your experience and thoughts regarding your wedding weekend. It was a beautiful wedding and we were delighted to serve you and your gu...
ests!
Shelly and her husband took the headache out of planning our wedding. After working with them, it is evident they really took the time to sit down and curate the most positive experience for their couples when they began their business. One of the biggest advantages of choosing WhipPoorWill is their decision to only have one wedding per weekend. By doing so it allows the couple to set up and break down the day before/after their wedding, therefore eliminating any fears or stress about only getting a two-hour window to rush around on the day of your wedding. Their property and venue beautifully reflect all the hours they spend meticulously maintaining their grounds. The barn is very clean and decorated elegantly with floral chandeliers and greenery. It is so beautiful that we only had to spend time decorating our tables. Shelly is willing and able to help you plan your big day and will do her best to accommodate you anyway she can. There truly are so many options and she spends the time figuring out which package is suited best for each couple’s wants and needs. She has a large selection of décor she allows you to rent from her and allows visits to choose what will compliment your day. The secluded lodge on the same property is spacious enough comfortably house 15 people and they even have a dedicated bride and groom suite. This was such a huge selling point to us because our family could stay the night and not have to worry about driving to a hotel on the night of our wedding. We spent our wedding night on their wrap around deck and enjoyed their hot tub with our friends and family that stayed the night. All in all, our wedding day was truly a fairytale. The venue and lodge are breathtaking, but it is Shelly and her husband that really made our wedding day such a dream. You won’t find more kind or thoughtful people to help you create your perfect wedding.

nd we were so delighted to take part in your special day. Again, thank you for such encouraging words and for choosing WhipPoorWill!
Shelly & Harry were magnificent throughout our entire wedding planning. We booked before they had their first wedding season & they had many updates that were planned to be completed before our big day...and oh boy, did they deliver! The venue is beautiful and exactly what we had imagined. We cannot recommend a better place! Shelly was very patient with us and did a wonderful job communicating and answering all of our questions. You cannot beat the price with all of the amazing features any package comes with! WhipPoorWill Wedding Venue is the perfect rustic venue & such a hidden gem! I couldn't have imagined our special day being anywhere else. Thank you again, Shelly & Harry!!

o enjoyed getting to know you all and it was our pleasure to host your special day at WhipPoorWill. Thank you for the positive review and for taking time to give us feedback. We appreciate you!
Where do I begin. This place is absolutely amazing. From the moment we saw it we fell in love with the venue. Not only did we fall in the with the venue we fell in love with the whole process and the people who run it. The barn is breathtaking and Michelle and her husband do such a good job at taking care and maintaining the property. Michelle helped us through the entire process. Decorations, vendors, everything. It made the process so stress free and enjoyable. From planning, renting decor, and inspiration. We love that we also weren’t rushed. We got to genuinely enjoy the entire weekend. Everything was absolutely perfect. my husband and I always say that we literally wouldn’t have changed one thing about that weekend or the venue. Amazing place. Highly recommend.

your special day!
The owners are excellent, very helpful and always accommodating and quick to respond. The venue is gorgeous and they continue to do upgrades and do whatever they can to create the perfect day! They have onsite lodging for the bride and groom with enough extra space for a few extras as well.

Thank you Tiffani for taking time to give us feedback! We truly appreciate your positive review and want to thank you again for chossing WhipPoorWill for your special day!
Whippoorwill will always hold a special place in mine and my husbands hearts! Not only because of the special day the gave us but because how amazing Shelly and her husband were towards us! We had found them before they were even doing weddings and before the venue was even finished, but with every word Shelly was describing what they were planning on doing it just made us fall in love with the place more and more! Fast forward 2 years later to our wedding day and the place looked AMAZING!! They did so much for us, answered all questions day and night, and made us feel so calm! I couldn’t have asked for a more easy going day for my wedding! I recommend everyone i know here and will forever! Stop looking every else and come check out this amazing piece of heaven!
