“We Can Bearly Wait”…. Such a sweet shower for a sweet family. This baby is going to be adored. We are grateful to be a part of such a special moment once again. A couple months back they also had their Gender Reveal party at Whispering Pines. “We can bearly wait” to hear the birth announcement of this little one very soon! 💗🐻 💗

“Baby It’s Cold Outside” baby shower 💗❄️ 🎀 with all the GIRL-y things! This family went all out with their theme and the weather fully cooperated and we got to put the new venue heaters to the test. When I came back to do the lock-up and final cleanup details they had turned the heaters off because they got warmer than expected. Yay!

I love this photo from a past wedding setup. If you are needing inspiration for your upcoming event, I always suggest that clients look through past photos here on the page to see how other people arrange and design the space. I also have recently acquired quite a few new options at the venue. I think we have SIX colors in chair covers. We also have a variety of colors in tablecloths. As things are added to my supply, I am able to offer those to my clients which is included in your rental. My goal is to share the things we can to keep your event cost low, so before you run out and buy all the extras (vases, wood cuts, and other decor) be sure to check our venue stock. Our venue rental fees usually surprise people with how affordable it is. Please check the pinned document at the top of the venue page for pricing and other details. Get on our calendar for your next event!

This isn't the usual photography you see on my venue page; however, I want to show this bad boy off and address this issue. This time of year, is optimum time for events, but people worry that the weather will be too cold and it will be cold inside the venue. Because of the design of the barn and being that it is all tin it actually warms up quite nicely even when the temps drop low in the night. Heating the venue up is not really our biggest concern. The sun does that quite well for us. If it is cold outside on a sunny day, it is usually the perfect temp inside. Yes, even if temps drop into the 30s at night. It is only when we have extreme cold or no sun that we need to supplement with a heat source. For that reason, I made the decision to purchase two of these heaters that operate off propane. Each heater is said to warm 3,125 square feet. With two that would be 6,250 square feet. The building including closed off spaces is 4,000 square feet, but I wanted to consider the height of the roof space and allow extra heating. This venue is still considered a "rustic" elegance style venue, so I am not trying to achieve perfect temps. I am trying to provide a source of supplemental heat for peace of mind. Those that may get cold easily can be seated closer to the heat source. They do make noise, but it is not offensive... and is much appreciated when you are cold. If you are considering an event this winter season, just know I am making it a priority to accommodate and warm you up, but it is very unlikely these will even be needed much. Also, when not in use at the venue the heaters will be available for rent through my rental business. January dates are available for events bookings at the venue. This is the perfect time to host a party! Message me to secure a date.

We had the pleasure of hosting a fabulous gender reveal at Whispering Pines today for a special young lady. It’s a crazy thing when you watch all these children you know grow up and start families of their own. Mackenzie and my Savannah met in kindergarten. Many years before I was a kindergartener that was best buds with Mackenzie’s Aunt Mandy. I grew up riding the bus with her mother Michelle and Mandy. And many years before that, my mother was friend’s with Mandy and Michelle’s parents, Wayne and Betty. It was fun to see them all today. Thank you for choosing my venue. Congratulations! It’s a girl! 🩷💖🩷💖🩷💖

Our venue hosted a sweet baby shower this weekend 🍃 with a sweet little lion jungle theme. This family was so fun and so relaxed to work with. Congrats on your “little king”. The cake balls were delicious, too! (Perks of working in the party business!) I made the balloon setup for this event also.
