5 STAR EXPERIENCE IN A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY SETTING
The Best Wedding Venue for unforgettable celebrations
Tucked in the heart of Trent Hills, sits a post and beam barnominium style wedding venue surrounded by greenery and country roads. We carefully crafted the space to embrace a ‘distillery district’ vibe with stunning epoxy floors, warm crystal chandeliers and premium harvest tables, all while maintaining its small town charm. This space will humbly give you butterflies the moment you walk in.

-
TIMES
Your guests will begin to arrive at 4:00pm and the ceremony will begin at 4:30pm
CEREMONY SCRIPT
An exciting part of having your wedding at Humble Beginnings is that you’re involved in the building and personalization process of what is said at your wedding ceremony. We will provide you with a document that has structured guidelines to help, then finalize it together, prior to the wedding.
LOCATION
Your wedding ceremony will likely take place at the gazebo. In the event of poor weather, we may move it into the main room. Alternatively, it could take place in front of our stunning feature wall in the Fireplace Lounge (package pending).
MUSIC
You will be provided with a login credentials to your own online wedding planner where you’ll be able to sample and select the music for your ceremony (The majority of our packages include a professional DJ for your ceremony and reception but to be sure, check the packages above.)
REHERSAL
We’re happy to do a wedding rehearsal with you, which would take place the day prior to your wedding at 6:00pm. We do encourage doing this as it allows everyone involved to know their role in the wedding, where they will be standing, the their path and rate of walking speed and practice, practice practice.
-
Your dinner will start around the 6:00pm hour. We generally serve dinner buffet style but can customize the process to accommodate your vision.
-
We offer two types of wedding dates: On-Peak and Off-Peak. Each comes with its own advantages.
On-Peak Dates
These are our most in-demand dates, all Saturdays from May 1 to October 31.
This is prime wedding season, with warm weather, longer days, and the highest availability of outdoor photo opportunities and décor options.
Off-Peak Dates
This includes every other day of the year.
Off-Peak dates offer more flexibility, more availability, and are typically more cost-effective, making them a great choice for couples working within a tight budget or planning a more intimate celebration.
