Whispering Springs Wilderness Retreat

I feel so incredibly lucky to have stumbled upon Whispering Springs. It was an absolute dream come true to hold our wedding ceremony and reception here. Our guests were gushing over the tents and pavilion, not to mention the forest chapel, which is truly magical. The staff are all incredible and so accommodating. I would not have changed a thing.

I don't even know where to begin in explaining how happy we are that we chose Whispering Springs to host our wedding. We actually stayed there 2 nights, the night before the wedding (with many of our guests coming from out of town) and then also for the night of the wedding. Nina was amazing and helped us with all of the arrangements to ensure all of our guests were happy for their stay, and to ensure that everything went smoothly. Whispering Springs was professional and efficient in working with all of our vendors, and there was VERY little on the day of the wedding that we actually had to be involved in setting up, which was a huge deal to both of us. Aside from a few homemade favours and signs that we had to set up, the venue worked with our vendors to organize everything else and nobody bothered me (the bride) throughout the day, so I got to enjoy every moment of getting ready and soaking it all in. Everything from the accommodation, to the amenities, to the organization ahead of time leading up to our big day and the execution of everything we requested on the day of... our wedding was absolutely perfect. Our videographer made a video which is viewable to the public below if you'd like a peek:

We cannot recommend Whispering Springs enough, and our guests still can't stop talking about how it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and maybe ever will (seriously... we've had this said to us, unprompted, by MANY of our guests at this point). It's a magical place and the perfect getaway for an unforgettable wedding.
Thank you again Nina and to the whole team at Whispering Springs for being a part of our perfect day. It wouldn't have been the same anywhere else.
XO love always, Krista & Dave (Sep 10, 2021)

Whispering springs was our absolute dream wedding venue, we cannot thank whispering springs and all of their staff enough for helping pull off our dream wedding and all of the help they provided for us, as my husband (The Groom) had broken his ankle the week before our date and they catered to all of our needs without question! Everything was absolutely perfect, the forest chapel was everything we had been hoping for, for our wedding day, it was just so us! The venue is so large and accommodating, the tents are a gorgeous and dreamy place to stay, and we cannot wait to book another overnight stay sometime in the future for an anniversary getaway!

Whispering Springs was the venue of our dreams! We had a Lord of the Rings inspired Wedding and the forest chapel was the perfect setting. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional. Everyone working made us feel so special on our big day. I highly recommended Whispering Springs for your wedding!

The most unique and beautiful wedding venue I’ve ever seen. They were so accommodating the staff is amazing. Highly recommend.

This is absolutely the most beautiful place to get married! Words do not do Whispering Springs justice. The forest chapel is absolutely magical! I highly recommend Whispering Springs for anyone looking to get married in a forest. We tried looking around in Toronto for a venue but nothing came close to this place. The owner was very helpful and very quick with responses to the million questions I had!

This place is like a fairytale. Such a beautiful property, from the gorgeous forest chapel, charming pavilion, cute campfires, and nicely decorated tents, with golf carts to get you around! The staff were so friendly and professional. We got so many compliments from guests about the venue.
Only thing to note is that we had a guest in a wheelchair who was not able to attend because there is not a wheelchair-accessible washroom at the pavilion.
Overall, Whispering Springs was exactly what we were looking for. It felt just like a fancy night at the cottage :)

Whispering Springs was the first venue we toured in autumn of 2018 and the last venue. It was love at first sight. My husband and I love walks in the forest and I’ve always dreamt of getting married in the forest! We got engaged at Orono crown lands. When we booked, we decided on a 2020 date so we didn’t feel rushed in our planning and had more options for dates, and very oblivious to the fact that there would be a worldwide pandemic haha. When we made the call to postpone in April 2020, Nina was incredibly understanding and accommodating. This was huge in our minds, because we kept hearing horror stories from other brides about the runaround that they were getting from their venues. Whispering Springs were gracious and fair in all their interactions with us. They are truly good and just people.

We could not have dreamt of a better wedding date and we know it is because of everything the staff do behind the scenes at whispering springs, from having the venue spotless for our day, helping the vendors during set up, shuttling around our guests in golf carts, shuttling me to our tent to briefly soak my achy feet, bribing the horses in the field to get beautiful photos to delivering delicious breakfast baskets to our guests the next morning (we added this on last minute and it was a must!!). We are eternally grateful to Nina, Nancy and the team at Whispering Springs for providing us with the venue of our dreams and for being such fabulous people to work with. It is no wonder they have become so booked for the next few years. Thank you! We cannot wait to come back and celebrate our anniversary (if we can manage to find an opening!) hehe.

Whispering Springs Wilderness Retreat is an amazing place to get away for a honeymoon or any time you need a relaxing getaway. Glamping is a great way to relax. This place added many personal touches that made our week one to remember forever
