Whistling Wren will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Kelly and her crew went above and beyond for my husband and I. Whatever we needed and whatever we wanted we got. They wanted the focus to be on the couple and to make sure to capture the idea and dream for the couple. They also took the time to get to know us on a personal level and made it clear how much they care about their couples.Kelly also provides a bunch of neat and gorgeous decor like finished whiskey barrels that guest used to hold drinks and just looked stunning. Whistling Wren Farm was rustic, intimate and just overall perfect for our wedding. We would pick this venue all over again if we had to.The venue itself is gorgeous and we got so many compliments on the venue from our guest and the so many people wanted to take photos inside the barn and by the fireplace.If there were any suggestions or any recommendations; the bridal suite is a tad small, so if you have a large bridal party like I did, the earliest you can arrive the venue is 11am so I highly recommend renting a spa for hair and makeup to be done.But besides that, Kelly and her crew our a part of story and will forever be a part of our family.

Me and my now husband got married here in the fall of 2023 and it was the experience of my dreams. I was never a person who thought about weddings growing up and honestly the whole idea at first when I got engaged overwhelmed me.Thanks to Kelly and everyone at Whistling Wren Farm, they made the experience as easy, painless, and fun as it could be. Weddings of course come with so much stress, but they were there every step of the way. Me, my now husband, and our families were supported through the entire process and Kelly was on top of everything! I couldn't have asked for a better wedding. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!Lots of love,Sam and Josh

Get your dance on under this crystal chandelier with it’s majestic 2 tiers of 24 brilliant lights that literally take center stage in this elegant but rustic wedding/event venue. We kicked off our shoes and got down on the large finely finished hard wood dance floor. I attended an event at Whistling Wren and was overwhelmed by the tranquil setting this enchanting venue offers. Looking out from the dance floor through the double barn doors the enchantment continued. The exquisite courtyard with the string lights illuminating a massive pond and dazzling 14 foot water fountain warmed my heart as much as the warm glow of the fire, the experience was like no other. The 1857 Keedysville barn was restored to perfection in 2019 making this an unforgettable venue. Can’t see your wedding on a farm…in a barn? You haven’t seen the Whistling Wren Farm venue. The grand outdoor fireplace and courtyard, the bridal suite and groom’s game room are but a few of the unbelievable amenities this venue offers. I felt privileged to be a guest at this venue. I encourage anyone planning a special occasion to reach out to the charming venue owner Kelly Drosdak.

The venue was lovely, the bride and groom suites created from stalls were unique and cozy. The outdoor fireplace was gorgeous and made the ceremony so special. It was unfortunate that the couple was prevented from having their last dance due to a disagreement that got heated between the DJ and the venue owners who then abruptly turned on the lights and ended the reception, very bewildering to us all. No apology or explanation was issued that may have decreased our dissatisfaction. We also would recommend installing permanent bathrooms (the luxury portable toilets were better than expected) and providing heat in some way. We also had feedback from guests that the venue owners felt a bit overbearing and intrusive at times.

I was a guest at a wedding in 2022. The space is beautiful for an outdoor wedding. The venue does NOT have air conditioning. My issue came towards the beginning of the wedding when a marked police car and officer arrived and stood near the main access to the reception. I found it odd and other guests were wondering what was wrong. I decided to say hello to the officer and asked what was going on. He said he was hired by the facility to be there. I found out that this was never disclosed to the family having the wedding. I found the owner of the facility unfriendly towards the guests including interaction with myself. It’s a beautiful place but I wouldn’t have my own event there. By the way, after I spoke with the officer he moved out of site after that. The owner claimed she did this because of problems at other weddings. I get that but it needs to be disclosed before hand.

My husband and I got married at Whistling Wren Farm in June of 2022. From the moment we stepped foot on the property at Whistling Wren we knew we wanted to get married there. Kelly made us feel so welcomed and just like family. The venue is on the smaller side so we were sad when we had to cut our guest list in half, but we couldn’t think of a more beautiful place to have our special day. The court yard with the outdoor fireplace is the perfect place to have a beautiful outdoor wedding. We are so thankful we found Whistling Wren Farm and can’t wait to revisit in the future!

My Husband and I are both thankful and blessed to have found Whistling Wren Farm for our wedding this past May 22nd. I’ve always wanted a southern/ rustic themed barn wedding and started my journey well over a year ago. We went to many barn venues in Maryland and even one in Virginia but sadly we were met with very unfriendly owners who acted as if they didn’t care to welcome us or they were just super unfriendly. When we met Kelly it was a completely different story, Kelly was an absolute delight, she was friendly, kind and super welcoming! Whistling Wren Farm is such a beautiful venue from the bridal/ groom suites to the outside chimney we were married in front of and of course the beautiful chandelier on the ceiling of the top floor of the barn. Whistling Wren Farm isn’t just a venue but it’s a beautiful family farm with heart warming history. Kelly treats her brides and grooms just like family and even checked on us throughout the 9 months of planning leading up to our wedding. Kelly was/has been there for us and we truly appreciate all that she and her amazing family have done for us. On our wedding day we had a few hiccups(not because of whistling wren farm at all) but my Family along with Kelly, Lee, and Adam went above and beyond to help in anyway they could and even after it was over they helped us out so much and for that we are forever grateful and will never forget how wonderful they were. Our wedding day was a dream come true thanks to all the amazing work everyone put in. My husband Chris and I feel like we have definitely become apart of the Whistling Wren Farm Family! ???♥️??♀️?

Getting married at Whistling Wren Farm was everything I dreamed of for my wedding day. First, Kelly is the most organized and loving person. I couldn't have asked for a better venue owner. She is always willing to answer your questions and welcomes everyone with open arms Second, the property is just GORGEOUS. From the fire place and outdoor area, to the amazing chandelier inside, you have to go visit to truly understand the beauty. This family owned barn has a wonderful background story and it was such a fun/special place to start our own story. Highly recommend working with Kelly and getting married at Whistling Wren Farm.

My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams at Whistling Wren Farm. The barn on the property is absolutely breath taking, and the farm’s grounds are beautiful and a perfect size for guests to mingle together, as well as spread out if desired. Kelly, the venue owner, was immensely helpful, friendly, proactive, and detail oriented. She worked well with our vendors and helped to coordinate everything and ensure our day was nothing short of magical. Kelly and her husband went out of their way to build a relationship with us and our family; they are extremely genuine people. Kelly can be a bit protective of the barn and farm grounds, and rightfully so because it is gorgeous and special to her- though that meant no open flames (sparkles or real candles), certain décor elements, drinks on the dance floor, or liquor in the groom’s suite, which I know may be standard at many other venues. In the grand scheme of everything, those things were very miniscule. Whistling Wren Farm is a lovely venue for an intimate wedding, and we highly recommend it!
