Our wedding at Whispering Palms Barn was nothing short of magical. The venue itself is incredibly beautiful, with every detail from the natural surroundings to the charming rustic touches creating the perfect atmosphere for our special day. It truly felt like a dream setting. What made the experience even more exceptional was the owners.

Awarded Best of Zola
My hubby and I got engaged June of 2022 and had our dream venue booked not too long after. Our wedding day was 11/11/23. We had looked at a couple other venues in the area but wanted to use some place that our friends hadn’t used yet. I stumbled upon The Worthington while we were out to eat at AMOB with family, I booked a tour the next day. Once my husband and I were shown around the property, we immediately both knew we had found our dream venue. The entire team is super helpful. Our ceremony took place outside in front of the giant oak tree as a beautiful focal point AND the pond in the background. We were lucky enough to be the first couple to use the outdoor wall to separate our guests from seeing me before I walked down the aisle! Catlyn exceeded what we were thinking it was going to look like! Talk about being blown away. Our cocktail and reception area also looked amazing. Seeing every detail we had planned come to life because of these ladies and their hard work made us feel so taken care of. Whether you’re dealing with Angella, Catlyn or Lisa you’ll be in the absolute BEST hands! They're all so communicative, quick to reply and triple check everything is just as you want it. I would come back over and over again for the venue itself and the ladies in charge. You all made our night so perfect. Our guests all kept saying it was the best wedding they had been to.

We were so lucky with weather and the sunset, the night was absolutely amazing! Our wedding date was November 12. We had the ceremony on the beach and then the reception was under the pavilion. We decorated mainly with string lights and the vibe was everything I wanted for an island beach wedding. Molly helped us plan and Jess was our day of coordinator, both did an excellent job. Nothing major went wrong and Jess helped keep everything on track. The only real downside was the guests have to use the bathrooms that are inside the restaurant.
