TESTIMONIALS Planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic is not ideal but Heather and Debbie are incredible, not once did we doubt anything about our reception. Heather was very responsive, if you had any questions, big or small she had a quick answer. They were both so helpful in the process of wedding planning, our day went so smoothly because of them and we can't thank them enough. And the food was so good! We did a plated dinner and all the guests said it was delicious. We have nothing but good things to say. We would get married at White Deer Run all over again. Maxine J
Heather, the venue coordinator, and the rest of the staff at White Deer are all amazing, professional, and fun. Our reception was so beautiful and the venue looked even better than I had hoped and imagined. Heather was very responsive and helpful throughout the process and she made a stressful time much more calm and easy. White Deer was so easy to work with and I'm so happy we chose them for our wedding reception venue. If I had to go back I would make the same decision! Janna
Our ceremony and reception was absolutely perfect!! Heather and the entire White Deer staff were so helpful with planning and really made my vision a reality. Everyone who attended our wedding can’t stop talking about how beautiful it was and how good the food was. We cannot thank White Deer Run enough for making the best day ever perfect! Alyssa
Absolutely incredible. I can't imagine that you would possibly find a more thoughtful, detail-oriented, organized, kind, or supportive team than Heather and Debbie. I was married in the middle of the pandemic, and they spent so much time making sure that our day would still be special even with all of the precautions in place. So many phone calls with plans changing, and they were always happy to answer my questions or research options for us. This much smaller, more intimate event that we planned honestly ended up even more beautiful than what I had planned pre-pandemic - and if given the choice I'd do it the same way all over again! It was truly even more wonderful than I could have imagined. From a practical standpoint, the pricing was by far the most straightforward of any place I investigated on the north shore; no venue fee, and the total was as simple as cost per plate/person, no hidden charges for chibari chairs or special lighting or some of the complicated add-ons that other places surcharge. I give White Deer my highest possible recommendation. Natalie D
