Whispering Hollow Estate

bience which was perfect for the rehearsal dinner! The day of the wedding went perfect! Kevin and his team took care of every single detail and made sure us and our guests were well cared for. The skeet shooting for the groomsman was unique and they had a blast! One of the things I appreciate the most is how amazing Kevin was with the kids at our event - they had so much fun exploring the property and interacting with Kevin every chance they could get. Kevin was patient, understanding and caring towards them and it made all of us feel relaxed and at home for our weekend spent there!

ed, but Kevin is also a truly generous and detail-oriented professional. His passion for making his venue the perfect place to get married is the main reason we booked Whispering Hollow for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with that choice! - We chose to postpone our wedding from 2020 to 2021 due to Covid , and Kevin was happy to oblige at no cost to us! - The grounds are beautiful and Kevin is constantly working to improve them. Every time we went back, it somehow looked nicer than before! Multiple guests mentioned to us they were in awe of how beautiful the ceremony space, trees and flowers, and reception hall were. The reception hall particularly looked amazing with up lighting we purchased through our DJ. - The spaces to get ready for the bridal party are fantastic. The guys had plenty to do while the girls took their time getting ready. - Kevin's team took special care to attend to a disabled family member, making sure he never struggled to get where he needed to be by providing a golf cart service for him. - We highly recommend booking shuttles to and from the venue for guests to make sure they get there and back safely. We did this through McIlwain Charters and it turned out to be a fun part of the day for our guests!

n more. He is an absolutely pleasure to work with. Kevin is extremely professional and knows this industry well.

nd there is a huge outdoor area for guests to hang out as well as a brick oven pizza and bar! When we arrived at the venue with our wedding party my husband and I wanted to get sunset pictures so Kevin drove us up in his side by side along with our photographer and videographer to ensure we got our amazing sunset pictures on top of a beautiful hillside! Again Kevin and his staff went above and beyond to ensure our day we perfect and I would HIGHLY recommend whispering hollow!

he is doing, but is not stuffy or unapproachable. We took advantage of all of the beautiful options he has from using the lodge for the rehearsal dinner, the bridal and groomsmen suites, the ceremony space, the reception lodge, photography, and the honeymoon suite. The day of the wedding Kevin and his amazing staff made us feel welcome and special. If something went wrong that day, I dont have any idea and that goes to show how quickly Kevin fixes the unexpected that can happen. He continuously works to perfection and I cant say enough about Kevin, his staff and the simple beauty of Whispering Hollow Estates. If you want a perfect, stress-free day have your wedding at the Hollow. We also hired Mona to help decorate and her skills added just the right amount of pizazz. She took my vision and ran with it! She was able to take what I said, what decorations I had done, and her decorations to combine it 100% cohesively. Its been a month and I am still getting compliments on how beautiful everything was. Whispering Hollow Estate + Mona’s Unique Boutique = Beautiful Perfection

, making sure our experience with Whispering Hollow Estate was the best it could be. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking and the owner/his staff running it were nothing short of amazing from start to finish. We truly could not be happier with their hospitality and the way our day went. If you’re looking for the PERFECT place to get married, WHE is the place to do it. Thanks again for everything!

y. Our guests have been talking about WHE for days and want to visit again! From start to finish, everything was beyond our wildest dreams. We would get married here a million times over again if we could. We are over the moon excited that we chose Whispering Hollow Estate for our special day! We HIGHLY recommend Whispering Hollow Estate to anyone! Give Kevin a call, and ask to tour his beautiful venue! You won’t regret it!

nstrated by Kevin Leonardis and the rest of the folks at Whispering Hollow Estates in Alum Bank. We selected this venue for our wedding in November 2018 after evaluating no less than two dozen venues at varying price points and settings from the Washington DC metro area to State College PA and couldn't be more happy with our decision. The venue itself is stunningly beautiful; purpose-built by Kevin from the ground up. Every detail from the beautiful fireplace and the massive solid walnut mantle to the vaulted wooden ceilings and tasteful stacked stone columns is well executed. Our wedding was held indoors but the outdoor ceremony site is stunning as well with every detail thought out including a raised pavilion to ensure all in the audience have a good view and a paved walkway to avoid any complications for ladies walking in heels on soft grass. While the venue is beautiful, the real highlight here is the service. Kevin effortlessly ranks among the most amiable people we have ever met. He makes it clear from the very first meeting, in both word and deed, that the satisfaction of his brides and grooms is of paramount importance. He truly went above and beyond, exceeding our expectations at every turn. He and his staff were quick to respond to calls and emails, took care of coordinating vendors on the day of, patiently answered every question we had and leveraged his considerable experience to provide guidance and recommendations whenever we asked. We would highly recommend Whispering Hollow to anyone. If you're looking for a venue in the area, give Kevin a call and make an appointment to go tour the venue. We think you'll be very glad you did.

We felt like we were royalty and they truly made it the best experience it could be for us and our guests!! Could not recommend this venue and the staff more highly!

t, dedication, and how beautiful his place was. He truly strives to make sure every second of your day is perfect and that you have nothing to worry about on your wedding day. Kevin and his staff are great to work with and there was nothing me or my husband or family had to worry about the day of the wedding, because Kevin had everything covered! Our family and friends still are saying how beautiful and one of a kind the venue is! I would highly recommend Whispering Hollow Estates and I'm looking forward to getting back there for future new events that Kevin is doing there!

HE. Kevin has utilized his experience as a wedding photographer to take note of the things that brides are looking for, and to ensure that he accommodates all of those aspects. For the bridal party, having dedicated getting ready space, including space specifically for the bridal party to have their hair done, made getting ready the day of a breeze. Similarly, the door-to-aisle golf cart service eliminates concerns related to getting to the ceremony site. My bridesmaids and I were very happy to be able to casually hang out and get ready on our own timeline, as were my husband and his groomsmen. For guests, the venue is absolutely beautiful and comfortable, with accommodations provided for guests of all ages. All of my guests have commented on the amount of green space, the fixtures in the reception lodge, and beauty of the ceremony courtyard. Overall, we truly love this venue, and would get married here all over again!

all together. We could feel his passion for this place and the reception hall he was in the process of building. We knew on the first visit that our search for the perfect place was over and we found "The One". He was the easiest person out of all of our vendors to work with! He has a golf cart that he carts your guests from the parking lot straight to the door (!) so the elderly don't have to walk. He will help you set up the day before. He will let you customize and decorate any way you like (within reason, no holes). He truly caters to his Brides and Grooms and does anything (within reason) that they request to make their one special day truly special. We did not have our Ceremony there, only the reception but you can have both here and it will be magical. I made many phone calls to Kevin late at night worrying about this or having a question about that. He really helped me and was VERY patient with us. We had a few hiccups but Kevin helped us through it. Clean up the day after. Now, normally when you see a clean up fee you think trash removal, vacuuming and general cleaning, etc. No. Completely wrong. Kevin gave us a time to be at the reception hall for clean up the day after. When we got there. EVERYTHING was already tore down/packed up and out on the covered patio waiting for us to just load it into our vehicles. We were stunned. We have never encountered such generosity like this. Everything was packed thoughtfully since we had a long trip home (3 hours) He even stored our left over food in his freezer for us since the Bed and Breakfast could not accommodate such left overs. The reception hall is a DIY place, you bring all the vendors. It can get a little pricey if you are on a budget like we were. But we would have our reception here again in a heart beat. Kevin truly makes you feel welcome and makes you feel you are his only Bride/Groom he is working with. All of our guests were wowed and can't stop talking about how beautiful our venue was (what we were aiming for) If you truly want one day that no one can talk non stop about and one day that you want to be the most special and magical and really get EVERYTHING that you want. Have your Ceremony and reception here. You will not regret it. Kevin does stay all night with you and he handles anything that goes wrong so you don't have to worry about a thing! We had an issue with our caterer and he took care of it. When I asked what happened, he told me it was taken care of and to enjoy ourselves. He is Outstanding! Oh! And I forgot to mention (even though we didn't use this) Kevin built a secret hide-a-way for the night of your wedding! It's a beautiful little cabin built up on the Mountain above and behind the reception hall. He took us up there when we toured the place. Talk about waking up to a breath taking view the morning after!

r, your beverages, and snacks, the works (don't let that scare you, Kevin is really knowledgeable and can help). He has a wonderful list of recommended vendors you can pick from for these services. We went with everyone he recommended and we were not disappointed. Our food (Flair of Country) was absolutely delicious. Our DJ (Mint DJ) was amazing. Overall it really benefited us to be able to bring in a lot of our own things, especially in regards to alcohol since our guests were not huge drinkers paying for an open bar was pointless. Kevin made our day so special. I know he has weddings pretty much every weekend, but he made me feel like I was the only bride he was working with, he truly made me feel special pretty much catering to every need I had on that day. A little bit about the grounds of the venue - the property is gorgeous!! We got married in the fall and it was stunning. He has some many bridal perks. There is a bridal suite which is where my bridesmaids and I got ready and hung out the morning of the wedding. The suite has a set up that will allow you to get your hair and makeup done at the venue, which was really great pro for me. There is also a grooms suite which had a pool table and couches for the guys to hang out in. My husband and his buddies really enjoyed themselves. Overall, this was the best decision we made. Kevin was amazing to work with. I would recommend his services to any bride/groom to be.
