We encourage you to make Whispering Winds your own and bring your vision to life. Please keep the following guidelines in mind:
Candles: Real candles are permitted as part of your décor, but they may not be lit at any time inside the venue. LED and flameless candles are preferred.
Sparklers: Sparklers are permitted outdoors only. For safety, sparklers must be used outside and away from the building, guests, landscaping and other flammable materials. Please have a designated person supervise their use and ensure all sparklers are completely extinguished and disposed of properly.
Hanging décor: Please check with us before attaching anything to walls, ceilings, doors or other surfaces so we can make sure it won't cause damage.
Our goal is to give you plenty of freedom to decorate while helping keep our beautiful venue safe and protected.
