Sharon D. Married on 09/01/2019The PERFECT Venue for our Wedding Day!
I am so glad we came across the Whetstone Center for our wedding venue. The land around the venue is gorgeous with so many options to choose from for your wedding ceremony spot. They have a lovely designated ceremony spot on the top of the hill with the lake backdrop and an amazing pergola. We however loved the backdrop near the green and growing vineyard, we were so lucky they had a portable pergola option which we chose and Hannah worked with us greatly to figure all of those logistic out. For us, the vineyard was the absolute best backdrop for our wedding ceremony. Of course it was a bonus that they had the indoor ceremony chapel area in case of rain which we just nearly beat! There’s also plenty of gorgeous outdoor photo backdrops to choose from - from the vineyard, lots of greenery and "nature" around, a driveway encompassed with trees, corn crops on the side of their land, and of course the gorgeous lake on their newly constructed deck! (Lake background was our favorite!)
The inside of the reception venue was AMAZING. We were sold as soon as we walked in to see beautiful red brick and wooden beams, turned the corner and saw the wall of bay windows looking over the lake. We couldn’t have found a more perfect spot. It held all 110 of our guests just fine and still had a great dance floor. We enjoyed having the bar room separate as well. Then having the cornhole boards during cocktail hour was a cool perk too!
Working with Hannah was amazing! I can't say enough good things about her. She was always happy, and helpful. Anytime I would text or email her she responded quickly and with great advice and ideas. I would and DO recommend the Whetstone Center to EVERYONE. So thankful we had the perfect venue for our special day.-

Savanna R. Married on 12/11/2021We LOVED the Whetstone Center for our winter wedding!!
The Whetstone Center was the perfect fit for our winter wedding! The moment I walked into the venue, I knew it was exactly what I was looking for; The beautiful wall of windows with the water view was breathtaking! The venue is a blank slate to make it your absolute dream wedding! You can also get in the day before to decorate if you book the whole weekend which was a must for me! We also held our rehearsal dinner here as well. Hannah was a breath of fresh air in all of the wedding planning, she was so prompt and professional! I highly recommend the Whetstone Center for your wedding or parties!
Whetstone Center's reply:

Whetstone Center is a beautiful venue with an intimate feel - perfect for a romantic wedding outdoors or in the chapel. The reception hall is updated throughout and sits right over the Lake for a gorgeous view while celebrating with family and friends. Whetstone is a family-owned business in a quiet area... I highly recommend this charming venue for your next event.
Excellent facility to cater out of. Great people to work with.
