Wedding Photographers & Videographers at The Whispering Trees Manor, Edinboro

A wedding at The Whispering Trees Manor in Edinboro is an outdoor celebration from start to finish, held June through October on four acres of gardens and trees beside a creek. The owners call it a photographer's paradise, and with thousands of outdoor lights switching on at dusk, your photographer and wedding videographer will find new backgrounds for your wedding photos around every corner.

You have two places for your wedding ceremony, Creekside or the Victorian Garden, both with bench seating. If the weather doesn't cooperate, the ceremony moves into the pavilion. Before the ceremony, you and your wedding party get ready in the carriage house: upstairs is a private dressing room with a bathroom, a salon chair and plenty of mirrors, and the first floor is set up for the groom and groomsmen. Outdoors, ask your videographer about a small microphone so your vows come through clearly.

Your wedding reception is in a 40 by 60 foot covered pavilion with big barn-style sliding doors on the ends and a covered veranda alongside, with seating for up to 200 (about 175 is most comfortable). A custom covered bar, fire pits with bench seating and firewood are included. It's a venue-only rental, so you bring your own caterer, who can use the kitchen in the carriage house. Music ends at 9:30 p.m. and guests leave by 10:30, since the family lives on the property, so plan the timeline of your wedding day around those times.

• Tours are by appointment.
• Walk both ceremony spots and the evening lights with your photographer.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and whether you can come back for engagement photos.

A little about The Whispering Trees Manor

The land was farmland, then the Apple Tree Farm Bed and Breakfast, then a wedding venue called Isabell's Painted Gardens. New owners took over in November 2023 and have been adding improvements since.
