From the reviews
Unfortunately Mitzi and Whippoorwill Acres was given a 1 star review by a guest invited to my daughter’s wedding this past weekend. The best that I can do to clear this up is to make my own review in response to that.
My husband and I were married at Whippoorwill Acres on May 31, 2025, and our day was absolutely perfect thanks to Mitzi and her team. They are very attentive, kind, and go above and beyond to make sure your day is exactly what you want it to be. Mitzi was very responsive to my emails, texts, and any questions I had.

I’m a wedding DJ based on Kirksville. Whippoorwill Acres is a first-class wedding venue. Mitzi and the whole team at Whippoorwill are so great to work with and I’ve seen them go above and beyond to accommodate their clients and guests.
Getting married at Whippoorwill Acres Wedding and Event Venue
Whippoorwill Acres Wedding and Event Venue comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
