Gardens: Use the same ceremony site but flip the chairs to use our lush outdoor aisle for your ceremony backdrop and exit the chapel for a picture perfect start to your aisle walk.
Inside the Chapel: The white washed interior of our 1881 Chapel is available for indoor ceremonies year round, and acts as your weather backup plan when choosing the Chapel Steps or Gardens for your ceremony location.

Timber Frame Pavilion: For intimate events, our Pavilion is also an option for your meal location.

If weather doesn’t cooperate you’re able to setup yourself inside of the chapel for a completely weather proof plan using the tables and chairs that are included for the al fresco dining option.
Inside the Chapel: During our Winter Season your meal occurs inside of our historic 1881 Chapel, and during our main wedding season you can opt to use the inside of the chapel for your meal as long as your ceremony is not also indoors. Your group will setup our folding tables and white garden folding chairs with your linens or you can opt to bring in your own specialty rentals for a truly unique event.

After your meal, our Pavilion Bar re-opens at 8pm, moving guests back to where your day began with convenient access to our chapel washrooms and parking. Guests can enjoy both indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the evening:
Inside the Chapel: This is where your DJ will be located to get the party started! Our white washed chapel transforms at night into a colour washed dance hall to create the perfect celebratory atmosphere to dance the night away.
Pavilion Patio: This is where your bar service will occur and where guests will mingle with their cocktails.
Chapel Gardens: West of our chapel we have a beautiful outdoor fire place for a cozy night of fireside chats.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Pricing does not include HST, however we do not have any mandatory additional charges or service fees on our packages. We pride ourselves in being very transparent with pricing, and want anyone booking with us to be certain of their wedding budget before reserving a date.
Our packages do not include gratuity, however it is completely optional and at your discretion if you choose to provide this to staff.
-
The couple, children, vendors onsite for longer than 5 hours, and all other people attending the event count towards the total event attendees included in the package. The only exception is our Ceremony only packages which do not include vendors in the count due to their short duration.
-
None of our packages include a day of coordinator, officiant, photographer, florist or any other service not expressly outlined in the description. Couples generally have specific preferences for these kinds of services (and rightly so!) so to make sure you find the perfect fit for you we don’t include this in our pricing. We do have a large recommended vendor list of people we have worked with many times and know you’ll love. Click here for more information.

We are 15 minutes from Simcoe, Ontario which has a number of hotels (Little River Inn / Best Western, Travelodge, Comfort Inn), and local to many vacation home rentals on Airbnb/VRBO.
-
With our rural location we don’t have transit options locally, however with our evening weddings we include a school bus shuttle to and from a Simcoe hotel (less than 15 minutes away) before the ceremony and at bar close for up to 40 guests. If you’re interested in a different hotel such as the Elmhurst in Ingersoll, Marriott or Hyatt in Brantford (approx 40 minutes away) you can book your own guest transportation with a local limousine/party bus company and remove the included shuttle from the package.
For on demand transportation there are a number of local taxi companies however due to our rural nature it’s not likely to be able to get quick service so we highly recommend pre-booking any additional transportation.
