Whisper Hollow Homestead is not a typical barn venue - our size and beauty are unmatched!
We are a one-of-a-kind facility located less than an hour north of Pittsburgh in the quaint country setting of Enon Valley, Pa.
Constructed in 2017 by a small group of local Amish builders, the rustic barn offers a very spacious 6,000 square feet of entertaining space that can comfortably seat 300 people.
The breathtaking views of the sprawling, scenic countryside offer endless photo opportunities for couples to capture the magic of their special day.

Cannot say enough good things about this venue in the limited words i can post. Shirley & Rich truly will make your dreams come true, they will have your back from day one. I was able to text them from the moment we booked & always had an immediate answer to every question we asked! Our day was supposed to be clear skies & right before we went down the aisle it started to downpour. Shirley and Rich consistently watched the radar & helped us make a decision! They were more than happy to let us delay our ceremony an hour to keep it outdoors! We ended up having the most beautiful ceremony with a gorgeous sunset! i cannot thank them enough for everything they did for us. They even let us come back to the ceremony for more wedding pictures considering our time the day of was very limited due to the rain. I would recommended them over and over again. They truly want the best for their brides and grooms and you can tell that the moment you talk to them! They are truly a unique venue in that aspect that distinguishes them from the rest! Not to mention the gorgeous venues inside and out of the barn! Every time we have been to the barn the sky has always portrayed a beautiful sunset surrounding the barn & the lake-truly picture perfect! The barn inside is very spacious and upkept even with their busy season! I truly cannot say enough good things about Shirley, Rich & Whisper Hollow Homestead. They exceeded my expectations and then some!

We didn’t need to look at any other venues because Whisper Hollow Homestead was absolutely perfect, largely due to Rich and Shirley being fantastic hosts. Not only is the venue space breathtaking, it’s also super affordable. Rich and Shirley help you every step of the way, from having pre-selected caterers, exclusive bartenders, and a whole list of recommended vendors! Shirley also helps coordinate with vendors the day of, making your wedding day as a bride completely stress free. All of our guests were from out of state and were impressed with the venue and decorations, making the day truly special.

We had our wedding on May 26, 2024 at Whisper Hollow, and without a doubt, it was the best decision we could have made for the biggest day of our lives! Shirley and Rich are above and beyond the BEST people to have in your corner preparing for and on your wedding day. They take great pride in their gorgeous venue, and take an incredible amount of time and planning to make sure it is immaculate for your day, and they are such a well-oiled machine. They were so helpful through the process, Shirley is very responsive with any questions, and they were an absolute dream to have as part of our “team” day-of, keeping everything in order and organized. It truly felt like they became a part of our family during all that is wedding chaos. They definitely have preferred caterers and DJs, among other vendors - LISTEN TO THEM, lol. We got SO many complements on our wedding and we give a lot of credit to Rich and Shirley. We wish we could do it all over again we loved it so much!! Thank you Whisper Hollow for helping us have the wedding of our dreams!

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Whisper Hollow Homestead! Shirley and Rich were so kind and helpful through the whole process of planning and getting everything ready before the wedding day, as well as helping to make sure the wedding day went smoothly. The venue was beautiful and a perfect location for pictures all around the barn with lots of scenery, especially with the sun setting over the pond. We would highly recommend getting married here if you are looking for a very nice rustic wedding.

Our experience with Rich and Shirley and their stunning barn venue was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we stepped foot on the property, we were met with warmth and kindness that instantly put us at ease during the stressful wedding planning process.
The owners were not only incredibly kind, but also reassuring throughout the entire journey. They took the time to listen to our vision for the big day and offered valuable insights and suggestions that showed their deep expertise and preparation. Throughout the planning process, Shirley promptly answered our questions and offered solutions to any concerns that arose. It was clear they had thought about every detail, which was incredibly reassuring for us.
The venue itself was absolutely beautiful! The barn exudes rustic charm while also being incredibly well-maintained and versatile. The attention to detail in the decor and layout made it clear that Rich and Shirley truly cared about creating a magical atmosphere for weddings.
On our wedding day, there were naturally some hiccups due to weather but Shirley and Richard were extremely flexible. The owners and their team ensured that every aspect was executed perfectly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the celebration with our loved ones. It was truly a magical day, and we owe a huge part of that to the wonderful venue owners.
If you're looking for a wedding venue with owners who genuinely care, who are prepared down to the last detail, and who will make you feel reassured throughout the entire process, this is the place to go. Our heartfelt thanks go out to them for making our special day an unforgettable experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Whisper Hollow Homestead!

Absolutely the best! Rich and Shirley are just great people they are very accommodating and Kind treated everyone with the utmost respect helping with anything from our first tour to end of night wedding reception. Not to often you meet great people like this and the venue is truly one of a kind beautiful. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about it. We toured several venues and never got any response back maybe because we didn’t look like them. But not Rich and Shirley they welcomed us with open arms! Thanks again guys a the best wedding ever!

We just had our wedding here on May 6th and it was nothing but perfection! I ended up tearing my Achilles’ tendon 3 weeks before my wedding day and Shirley and Rich were so accommodating and helpful! I wasn’t sure how it was going to work or what it was going to look like, but they helped to figure out a way to get down the aisle, take pictures, and have a sparkler send off- despite my injury and lots of rain the day of! They also had a brand new dance floor installed a few weeks before that was absolutely perfect for all the dancing festivities! Their support and help throughout the wedding planning process was unmatched. They were there to help the whole night and we are so glad we chose Whisper Hollow Homestead!
I would highly suggest having your wedding at Whisper Hollow Homestead! It was all we could have asked for and more!
