Natural Surroundings
If you’re looking for nature to play a role in your celebration, the Virden Retreat Center makes it easy. We have a tented patio for outdoor dining and dancing, open grounds for ceremonies, lawn games, or just soaking up the sun, and nearby beaches for guests to enjoy during their stay.

Guest Lodging
Designed with the natural surroundings in mind, our recently renovated guest suites make it easy for your out-of-town guests to be comfortable and close to the festivities. For the wedding couple, we have an overnight room and a private hospitality room for their wedding party.

Receptions
Whether it’s 25 or 200 guests, our wedding planners can help get it just right. Rehearsal dinners, cocktail hours, champagne toast, centerpieces, traditional sit-down plated style or the casual bountiful buffet – whatever your style, it will definitely be perfect.
Let's start planning your perfect day.
