The most AMAZING Venue in NEO!

The Whetstone is the most beautiful, elegant and fairly priced wedding venue my husband and I came across, not only did we receive the most amazing service from the Coordinator Makenzie, who is by far the most down to Earth, kind hearted person I have ever met! We utilized all three buildings that The Whetstone offers, 1 to get ready in, 1 to get married in and of course one to have our reception in! All three were so beautifully kept and the perfect amount of space! The Reception area is so accommodating with the huge kitchen space for our vendor and a separate bar area, allowing our guests to not feel stuck in one room! The scenery outside is breathtaking, so many opportunities to get pictures that you will cherish for a lifetime! If I did one thing right is was using The Whetstone to host one of the most special days of my life!

The perfect venue!

I first came across this venue 4 years ago when we first got engaged and fell instantly in love. Hannah was so easy to get along with and answered all of our questions(so sad she is leaving!) from the very start of our start to the day of wedding we had butterflies in our stomachs about this venue. The beauty that you get from the venue it’s self to the different spots for photos or having a moment with your spouse after i do, they offer it! A billion and one times I would choose this venue again! If you want to find a venue that allows you to do that. Pick this venue. We can’t wait to have many celebrations here in the future ♥️

The Perfect Venue for your Special Day!!!

My husband and I got married at the Whetstone Center on 9.23.2022!!! This venue was the first and only venue we looked at, we fell in love instantly with the beautiful scenery!! Hannah, the event coordinator that we worked with was so professional and helpful throughout our entire planning process. I feel like I had a handful of questions every other week, and they were answered almost immediately. was able to tour the venue a few times after booking to get a feel for how and where I wanted decorations. The venue itself was so gorgeous that I didn't have to do too much!
The kitchen was so spacious, PERFECT for our buffet style dinner! loved the fact that we had planning freedom, such as choosing our own vendors, providing our own alcohol and different options on where to hold our ceremony! The reception hall fit our 115ish guests very comfortably. I have had many of our guests reach out to me about how spacious and beautiful the venue was!! I loved that there were a handful of outdoor spots for our guests to mingle as well!

We were/are so blown away with how perfect our ceremony and reception went, and that is thanks to Hannah, Mackenzie and the staff at the Whetstone Center! I will keep this venue in mind for any and all life events due to our amazing experience.

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.
