    The Whetstone Center is an absolutely stunning and versatile wedding venue! From the breathtaking scenery—complete with water views, vineyards, open fields, and a charming pergola—to the elegant indoor spaces with a wall of windows, it offers the perfect backdrop for any celebration. The staff, especially Hannah, are incredible to work with. They were highly professional, responsive, and accommodating, making the planning process so much easier. The venue also allows for amazing customization, and the unique amenities, like boat rides, fire pits, and even the option to bring pets, made the day extra special for us and our guests. If you're looking for a venue that combines natural beauty, flexibility, and exceptional service, I highly recommend The Whetstone Center!

    Whetstone was an amazing venue for our early fall wedding, and the staff was so helpful. Hannah always answered my calls and helped me every question. Even with all the craziness with COVID, the even went perfectly. Could not recommend more!!

    I had my wedding at Whetstone and it was beautiful! Hannah was amazing to work with and helped make the planning process a breeze. It rained for our ceremony so having the indoor chapel space was super nice.
