At the Schoolhouse

Great place for a inimate wedding. Izabella and her staff are amazing.

There are not enough words to describe our experience but I will try to put it into a few "short" words. We got married on June 22. The venue is absolutely beautiful. There is a cute loft inside the schoolhouse for the bride's party to get ready which opens up to guests after the ceremony. We had our ceremony outside in the garden area. There is an old church across the street where you can go to take photos after the ceremony. Right after we said our "I do's" the church rang their bell. All evening, and the weeks following the wedding, my guests kept telling me how they could not get over how beautiful the wedding was. I was really stressed about costs and planning, as I'm sure most brides are. We could not have done this without Izabela. She took care of everything and made sure it was within our budget. She took care of our flowers (the most beautiful flowers I've ever seen - They were large white roses with eucalyptus), cup cakes, food, ALL the decorations, etc, etc. After signing the venue contract, I started to buy a few decorations but I stopped because as it turned out, Izabela already had all of the stuff I was purchasing! It saved us money, time, stress, all of it. We had our friend Kyle marry us but he was not ordained in Ontario. Having said that, Izabela also provided us with her minister named Barbara to do the legal portion at the signing table. Barbara was so nice, kind, and funny. She is exactly what you would want in a minister. Three weeks before the wedding day, we increased our guest count from 30 people to 65. I thought it might be a problem but Izabela and her handled it no problem. She was not stressed about it whatsoever. She made sure that there was more than enough seating for everyone and tones of food (the food is fantastic btw! I recommend the rice wraps as a canape). One thing I really liked about selecting this venue that you don't get with most other wedding venues is that you supply your own alcohol. Nowadays, having an open bar can add an additional $10,000 to the cost. We paid $40 for our liquor permit, $1,200 for alcohol (in retrospect, we could have cut that in half!) and Izabela supplied us with bartenders. Overall, I am so beyond pleased. Everything was perfect. More...
