Charlotte Sent on 12/03/2021Beautiful, family-owned venue
We were so lucky to find Whistling Wren Farm for our wedding! Kelly was immensely helpful with planning the ceremony and reception, and periodically checked in throughout the whole year leading up to our big day. The venue comes with a lot of optional decor that saved us some money. The property is big enough that we were able to have a bar trailer, patio lounge furniture, and a cigar bar, without guests being squished or having to walk far for anything. Truly the perfect sized venue for a wedding of about 100 people. The day of the wedding we had some hiccups that the Drosdak family was incredibly helpful in fixing! It heavily rained for much of the day, but they kept EVERYTHING clean and dry so our guests were comfortable and able to safely walk around. We also hired a shuttle service to bring our guests in from Frederick that didn't show up, which was a nightmare. Kelly quickly coordinated with all vendors to push the ceremony back half an hour, and we later heard from family that she contacted every shuttle service she knew of to try and find us a replacement on the spot. What could have been a disaster (our guests couldn't get to our wedding!), ended up being fine, thanks to the Drosdaks. I can't recommend this beautiful venue enough! -

If you are looking for a beautiful venue, an amazingly kind owner, and support every step of the way, look no further.
Me and my now husband got married here in the fall of 2023 and it was the experience of my dreams. I was never a person who thought about weddings growing up and honestly the whole idea at first when I got engaged overwhelmed me.
Thanks to Kelly and everyone at Whistling Wren Farm, they made the experience as easy, painless, and fun as it could be. Weddings of course come with so much stress, but they were there every step of the way. Me, my now husband, and our families were supported through the entire process and Kelly was on top of everything! I couldn't have asked for a better wedding. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Lots of love,
Sam and Josh -

Taylor Sent on 11/09/2023Whistling Wren will Forever be a Part of our Family
Whistling Wren will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Kelly and her crew went above and beyond for my husband and I. Whatever we needed and whatever we wanted we got. They wanted the focus to be on the couple and to make sure to capture the idea and dream for the couple. They also took the time to get to know us on a personal level and made it clear how much they care about their couples.
Kelly also provides a bunch of neat and gorgeous decor like finished whiskey barrels that guest used to hold drinks and just looked stunning. Whistling Wren Farm was rustic, intimate and just overall perfect for our wedding. We would pick this venue all over again if we had to.
The venue itself is gorgeous and we got so many compliments on the venue from our guest and the so many people wanted to take photos inside the barn and by the fireplace.
If there were any suggestions or any recommendations; the bridal suite is a tad small, so if you have a large bridal party like I did, the earliest you can arrive the venue is 11am so I highly recommend renting a spa for hair and makeup to be done.
But besides that, Kelly and her crew our a part of story and will forever be a part of our family. -

Kelly was so great to work with! Her heart and soul are in her venue and you can really see that. The venue was amazing and our guests were all blown away with how beautiful everything was. Bonus was the amazing sunset we had wedding night! So glad we went with this venue and my wedding day was above and beyond. ❤️ -

Whistling Wren is perfect for your special day! We have a beautiful June wedding and we couldn’t be more thankful that we got to have it out in their Court Yard! Kelly was amazing and took such good care of us. -

Alyssa Sent on 12/31/2021Our wedding was perfect: rustic sophistication in a beautiful natural setting
Greg and I could not be more happy with our wedding at Whistling Wren Farm. Our bridal party so enjoyed the bridal and groom’s suites for getting ready. The men even got to enjoy a full-length antique shuffleboard while the women had ample room to relax with mimosas. Our beautiful, overcast fall day was the perfect backdrop for our ceremony in front of the absolutely gorgeous fireplace (which had a beautiful fire for cocktail hour!). When the weather turned to rain in the evening, we had the warm shelter of the elegant barn for our reception and dancing. The venue was the perfect size for our 100-person wedding.
There is something truly special about this venue. It’s true, there are many barn venues in the area, but the unique family touches infused by the owner, Kelly Drosdak, really made the venue stand out to us, and made all of the difference on our day. We have an absolutely stunning wedding album to prove it! As many brides would agree, there are more than a few things I wish I could do-over for our wedding, but choosing Whistling Wren is a decision I would make again and again.

Kelly was an absolute blessing to work with! Whistling Wren is family-owned, and because of this, Kelly and her family are much more inclined to work closely with their couples to make sure that everyone is as happy as can be! Her couples (mostly her brides ☺️) are her top priority. She takes every precaution, and thinks of every little detail, to make sure your wedding day goes off without a hitch!
We found Whistling Wren 11 months before our wedding, and Kelly was always available if I had any questions. She kept us in the loop with renovations she was planning to make, allowed us to come to the venue whenever we wanted (within reason), and made sure we were feeling good about everything along the way.
My only drawback would have to be the guest limit of 98 if you want to use the barn (100 people including the bride and groom), but that’s out of Kelly’s control, and the barn is the focal point of the venue - how could you pass it up?
Our experience with Kelly and her family at Whistling Wren was nothing short of exceptional. She’s knowledgeable, respectful, and truly wants her couples to have the most magical day of their lives, and that’s exactly what she did for us ❤️ -

Cheyenne Sent on 11/06/2021Amazing Venue!
Whistling Wren was absolutely the most perfect venue my husband and I could’ve chosen. Not only is it beautiful but the owners are the best too! Kelly was so kind and extremely helpful with each and every planning detail. Each time we visited the venue beforehand just helped us fall more in love with the place. The bridal suite was so comfortable and I was able to get some amazing pictures in there as well. I can not express how much Whistling Wren means to me and my husband now and I’m glad we were able to walk away from this venue with new friends as well. -

Beautiful family barn
Getting married at Whistling Wren Farm was everything I dreamed of for my wedding day. First, Kelly is the most organized and loving person. I couldn't have asked for a better venue owner. She is always willing to answer your questions and welcomes everyone with open arms Second, the property is just GORGEOUS. From the fire place and outdoor area, to the amazing chandelier inside, you have to go visit to truly understand the beauty. This family owned barn has a wonderful background story and it was such a fun/special place to start our own story. Highly recommend working with Kelly and getting married at Whistling Wren Farm. -
