“Me and my wife got married in Jacksonville and came here for our wedding dinner. The venue was very well priced, not far from our wedding chapel, and private. I had about 100 people come and everyone fit well. The location was beautiful! I have kept up with Whispering Pines after my wedding and they have continually improved the site! they now have many trees planted in the area, created a cute bridge to take photos on, and cleared out parts of the forest to make room for even more improvements. The owners are hard workers and great people. The price was great, you wont find any place that offers the same size venue for the amount of time they offer for cheaper. I hear that people try to haggle which is insane to me. It is worth full price and everyone who comes here loves it. One other thing, the owner runs a catering service too! It's fully licensed and she can cater to your wedding in almost any style you like (Janna's Kitchen)! We went with her and she made us Italian and Slavic cuisines. She makes the best Slavic food I have ever tried in my life. I highly recommend. I would give 10 stars if I could. Absolutely recommend. Please visit them and see what is available for you!”
