Whispering Tree Ranch

Our wedding was perfect! Jenny and her staff went above and beyond in every way. The venue is beautiful and so different from anything else we had looked at, and so reasonably priced. Jenny also did my flowers and they were amazing! I was so lucky to find the whispering tree, I wouldn’t change a thing.

Jenny and her crew were AMAZING. Seriously, not only is the venue drop dead gorgeous, but the service is outstanding. She was so laidback, helpful, and open to the (many) whims and suggestions by my (often too excited and pinterest-​crazy) wife. We wanted a wedding that was both wholly unique but still relaxed and fun, and we got just that. Mostly all of our guests remarked how amazing they thought the venue was (with many of them mentioning how it looked like a set out of a movie.) But again, the best part was working with such great people. During our last meet-​up with Jenny before the big night, we spent 30 minutes talking plans, and the next 90 just BSing. She is that friendly and welcoming. Seriously, the price is ridiculously low and the value is ridiculously high. BOOK THE WTR!

From the moment we booked Whispering Tree Ranch, we were in love. It’s green, beautiful and incredibly charming. On our wedding day, it POURED down rain. Any bride would be devastated having a storm roll in on her outdoor venue, however, Jenny and her team got busy taking care of business. She was somehow able to comfort me, organize the bridal part, set up and protect the decorations from the rain and help us throw an incredible party. Communication was easy, meeting with her was like meeting an old friend for coffee and her team was all smiles the entire day. I felt like they were genuinely happy to be a part of our wedding day, which is very comforting! I’d throw 100 parties with Jenny and her team, and will remember our time at the beautiful Whispering Tree Ranch FOREVER.

This is the best decision you can make if you are planning a Whispering Tree Ranch get away. Ron is extremely hospitable and knows the very meaning of customer service. Cabins are cozy, antique yet modernly furnished. Locations are prime, value is unbeatable, and Ron pampers his guests with complimentary amenities such as firewood, DVDs, and kayaks, definitely coming back multiple times a year.

My husband and I got married January 3^rd, 2015 and absolutely loved Whispering Tree! Jenny was so helpful and accommodating. I love the venue, and still get compliments from people on our pictures. It is also crazy affordable, because venues in the East Valley are so expensive this place is all that I wanted and for a great price. My family and I did most of the decorating by choice, but I know Jenny has lots of really cute options! She and her employees worked so hard to make the day super special.

I can’t rave enough about Jenny and the team at Whispering Tree Ranch. They are the type of professionals that make everything look easy because they’re SO GOOD at what they do! I didn’t have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day — and anytime I may have exhibited a bit too much energy (trying to help with setting up), Jenny would kindly remind me that it was my job to be in the bridal suite enjoying the day. We had such an incredible experience from start to finish at this venue. Jenny is responsive, helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. She was there for us throughout the entire planning process and through our wedding day. We are so thankful we found such a beautiful venue with such beautiful staff!

Jenny is amazing. Very laid back yet professional. Whispering tree is a beautiful place and I heard rumors of it closing in the next year for a stupid road no one will use. Tell me it’s just a rumor. Do I have to chain myself to your beautiful tree?

Jenny and her staff are amazing! She was prompt in returning my many emails full of random questions. She worked well with my day of coordinator and made sure my day went off with out a hitch. They allowed us to use their decorations and had many suggestions on well priced vendors. The venue is beautiful. A little hidden oasis of plush green in the middle of the desert. I loved it.

Wedding date: 3÷15÷15
Jenny and her staff helped to make my wedding day everything I hoped it would be. I appreciated how flexible Jenny was with scheduling a rehearsal time and helping to set up and clean up when my designated person became unavailable on short notice. The venue itself is everything I was looking for, and it’s so beautiful by itself I didn’t really need to add much. My guests had nothing but great things to say about the venue. I know a few people who have expressed interest in having their wedding at WTR after attending my wedding and hearing about how affordable it is.
In terms of communication, Jenny always responded to my emails within a few days. I booked a year in advance and I remember thinking she didn’t really reach out to me much, but by the time of the final walk through, I realized that we didn’t need a whole lot of communication. She definitely covered everything in the final walkthrough, and was always open to answering any questions I had about décor and potential vendors.

I was a photographer for a wedding that took place here a few weekends ago. This venue is a little far from any highway. It is located out in the boonies. The area is a little sketchy. The signage for Whispering Tree Ranch isn’t very large and you can easily pass it up and may end up in an Indian Reservation. Aside from the interesting journey, this place is very beautiful and quaint. There are separate cabins for the bride and room to get ready in. The feel of the furniture and décor set through-​out the venue is very vintage. The ceremony area is set under a beautiful large tree. The reception area is open air with stringed lights above. I had a short interaction with the owners and they seemed very nice. I spotted them periodically throughout the event, so they are there if you need anything during your big day.

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Let me just begin by saying that when we found Whispering Tree Ranch, everything seemed to be so perfect. Jenny was very responsive to phone calls, emails and even texts. She seemed so happy that we booked with her and really was doing everything possible to make this wedding happen. Then things took a turn for the worst. She had a «family emergency» (seems to be a trend from down below in the previous comments) and went M.I.A. for a while because of it. Didn’t have time to return any form of communication we were trying to have with her. Finally, when she decided she was able to come back to work, she got back to us. From then on, she was very up and down with her emotions. We didn’t know if we were going to get good Jenny or bad Jenny. We literally were walking on egg shells with her. We were afraid to make her mad, or say something to set her off. It was very uncomfortable. She was horrible at getting back to my wedding planner. We were literally struggling to have ANY form of communication. She would just get back to us whenever she felt it convenient. With 14 day before my wedding (November 1^st), she literally stopped talking to us. We had to make final decisions with parking and she chose to not get back to us. Finally, 9 days before my wedding, she wrote my wedding planner an email stating that «we either give Jenny full control of the wedding– even down to the decorations, or we could get our money back and find another venue». I was literally in shock! Who does that to a bride 9 days before the wedding? That same day, my mother and wedding planner showed up at Whispering Tree Ranch and asked Jenny for a full refund, like she said we would get in the email. She was shocked that we were getting the refund, but did follow through with her word and gave us all of our money back. I really believe she used that as a threat, not thinking we would actually choose finding another venue in 9 days. Even though we were getting our money back and were done with The Whispering Tree Ranch and especially Jenny, she was so persistent and NEEDED to know where we were having the wedding. We never told her, since it was none of her business, but she sure did try to find out all the details of what we were doing now that we had chose the refund out of the 2 options she gave us. All in all, Whispering Tree Ranch seemed like the perfect package. It really IS the perfect package if you take Jenny out of the equation. We did nothing but struggle to communicate and have what was written and signed in our wedding contract with Whispering Tree Ranch held to what it was supposed to be. Jenny is a control freak and definitely doesn’t like when she can’t have her way, or if there is any form of a wedding planner involved. Never in my wildest nightmares would I have imagined planning a completely different wedding 9 days before my wedding date. If you want Jenny to do everything for you, then this is your venue. But if you have plans of your own, please do not waste your time and energy here. All it will bring you is sleepless nights due to anxiety caused by Jenny.

We had our wedding at Whispering Tree Ranch on November 28, 2014. I cannot properly explain how phenomenal Jenny and her team were. Everything was perfect. The venue was beautiful and ready to go, the service staff was attentive and not over-​bearing, and our attendees were amazed by the venue. Jenny met with us multiple times to review details and even though she was extremely busy, she always made time to return emails and phone calls.

I had my wedding here March 7^th, 2014 and used all the vendors that Jennny recommended, except the photographer because we had our own :) This place was so amazing, I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding! The ENTIRE process was completely stress free. Even the wedding day itself had no problems what so ever! She did all the decorations and set everything up along with the clean up. I had a million compliments from guests about how beautiful the venue was. It was perfect, a and so so so affordable!

I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo glad we found this place… because the experience has been wonderful! They have been very welcoming and helpful throughout our wedding planning. Every one there has not only helped us out with the venue but have also offered ideas that have been great! The place itself is amazing!!! I am so excited to be getting married in such a gorgeous rustic venue!!! Im not sure why the first reviewer would automatically go towards personal attacks on people that she doesn’t know… but I guess everyone is different in the way they express their frustrations.
Our wedding is coming up so I will follow up with a post wedding review… up to now, it has been nothing less than amazing!
*****UPDATE******* We had our wedding there a couple weeks ago and just as promised here is an update… NO CHANGE. Jenny and her staff continued to be their helpful, amazing, friendly, fun selves. Our wedding turned out to be everything we had imagined and hoped for thanks to these fine people and their exceptional establishment (of course we also give credit to our family, friends and other wonderful vendors, but it would have not be the same without WTR). Everything was perfect! The Whispering Tree Ranch staff is the best you can find. I think Im already having WTR withdrawls, I might have to go visit just to take in a little more of the absolute wonderfulness that is Whispering Tree Ranch and the staff. :)

I have to completely disagree with the last review, maybe you had an unfortunate run of bad luck. We had a very professional and amazing experience! We booked our rustic vintage wedding with Whispering Tree Ranch and we can’t wait to celebrate our big day with them. We met with the owner and she took us on a private tour on the grounds and we were giddy with excitement. It far exceeded our expectations for what we had envisioned and we recommend them to everyone!

this establishment is the most unprofessional venue I’ve ever encountered, we had an appointment and we tried calling an hour before just to make sure we had the correct directions but nobody answered, we ended up being exactly 10 minutes late because my fiancé took the wrong exit, we called multiple time but nobody answered the phones… when we got there a fire pit was going and the lights were on inside but nobody was answering the door so we figured nobody was there… we walked the place just to see what it was like and then we saw another light turn on inside so we knew someone was there, we went to the door and saw someone inside but they refused to answer the door, we called jenny many many many times but she wouldn’t answer the phone… I was very upset, the place was beautiful and the price was so affordable I really bummed out about it. The next day I received an email from Jenny saying she was sorry but she had a family emergency and had to have someone else show us around but left because he thought we weren’t coming– first of all I think its bullshit that she had time to find someone else to show me around but she didn’t have time to email/​call/​text me to tell me what was going on– second of all THERE WAS SOMEBODY INSIDE THE PLACE THE WHOLE TIME!!! Her neighbor drove past and asked me what we were doing and we were told him we were there to view the place for our wedding, he then said that the two vehicles parked next to ours are jennys and her husbands so they should be home!!! So freaking unprofessional, my parents (who were also with us at the time) said they were probably too intoxicated or drugged up to answer the door, I highly don’t recommend anybody use them, if they were this unprofessional before my wedding whose to say this wouldn’t happen on my wedding day! Try elsewhere!!!
