Whispertree Retreat 

5.0

Boonville, CA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $6,500

Whispertree (formerly Bell Valley Retreat) is a Boonville, California venue for weddings that welcomes you to the beauty and simplicity of a less-is-more celebration embraced by a pristine, 600+ acre retreat in Anderson Valley, California. At Whispertree you can celebrate without the pressure of fitting into the conventional wedding box. We invite couples with a love of nature (including LGBTQ couples) to craft a unique wedding experience to honor their union and enjoy intimate and nourishing connection with family and friends.

I found Whispertree (formerly Bell Valley Retreat) when I was looking for a retreat/camping wedding setting for our Spring wedding. It was that and so much more! The accommodations exceeded all expectations-- beautiful, modern, eco-friendly, luxurious, and colorful! Our guests raved about the design and the comfort. Frida was so personable and helpful throughout the whole process; she made us feel like family. We got the best photographs because she showed us the secret spots up on the hill at golden hour! We arrived a day early to settle in and didn't want to leave on Sunday. The nature was magical-- especially our late-night bonfire under the stars after hours of dancing in the Barn. Oh yeah, and there's a hot tub! We cannot wait to return and re-visit the memories of our favorite weekend in our new favorite place. Highly recommend the venue, the staff, the vendor recommendations (especially Pilon Catering and Boontberry Farm). Zero complaints.
