Event Frequently Asked Questions

For an indoor wedding or event, our common public space can accommodate up to 20 people.

For an outdoor wedding or event, our 6 acres provide ample space for many.  Get creative with the space and the capacity is capped only by your desired number of guests.

Our pricing varies based on the season, the number of guests, and your chosen package.  Contact us via the inquiry form with your date and guest count estimate, and we’d be happy to provide you with more information on our packages and rates.

Whispering Pines B&B has five themed guest rooms with full private baths. Max capacity for the 5 rooms is 17 overnight guests.

Renting the lodging rooms is not required if you’re hosting a wedding ceremony only, without a reception. Setup times and access to the property will need to be discussed with the innkeeper and realize there may be bed and breakfast guests watching from afar.

If you’re hosting a reception with us, most often, rental of all 5 rooms is required.  We believe it takes away the peaceful experience we offer to B&B guests not involved in an event if there is a big party going on.  But we feel it won’t be hard for you to entice a few of your guests to enjoy lodging on site allowing them to get ready for the event here and then slip away from the festivities to their rooms when they are ready to retire for the evening.  They’ll also enjoy our tasty breakfast the next morning.

Room rental is not included in the wedding packages. Room rates vary seasonally. Rental options include our full bed and breakfast services for overnight guests or renting the facility as a vacation rental.

Event hosts may choose to cover lodging expenses for all overnight guests or they can block the rooms and have guests call to reserve and pay individually. See our Group Rental page for more details on vacation rental.

Yes, we allow tents to be erected.

For our outdoor weddings and events, we always pray for good weather.  But, we do live in Nebraska where we all know the weather can change in a matter of minutes.  If you're nervous about weather or just want your guests to be able to be shielded from the elements no matter the weather, you are welcome to put up a tent.  There are many areas available with plenty of space for tents and we're happy to show you locations during our tour and mention where previous guests have placed them.  We do require knowing when the tent will arrive and also be removed.

Whispering Pines B&B has the ability to cater to up to 50 guests buffet or family style dining.  You can browse sample menus on our group dining page. Inquire about our latest menu creations or special requests.

You may also choose to bring your own food onsite.  Our kitchen can be available to licensed caterers for a fee, or should you choose the vacation rental option, our kitchen use is included. Food trucks are allowed with discussion and approval on location and electric requirements.

Whispering Pines B&B does not maintain an Alcoholic Beverage License; however, alcohol is allowed on property.  You are allowed to serve to guests with the signing of a liability waiver/Alcohol addendum releasing liability from Whispering Pines.  For large groups, you may want to consider a bartender .

Inquire for local recommendations on caterers or bartenders.
