If you love the rustic look, with big, wooden beams, fireplaces and more than a hint of history, this heritage site would be fabulous for your wedding. Treat it with the right decor and you'll definitely achieve a wow-factor. The property offers a real wedding chapel, 6 banquet rooms to choose from, and baroque gardens. A flagstone path leads to the white chapel, which is such a romantic element. I've seen some amazing wedding photos taken there. The Doctor's House would also be spectacular for a fall or winter wedding, thanks to the picturesque landscaping.

According to web site: Chapel rental from $600 - $950 for weddings & catering from $65 to $140

Chapel: 120 seated + 20 standing.

 

Banquet Rooms: 22-140. Can use multiple rooms for more guests.

If you're hosting a small, intimate wedding, Southbrook Winery has two really unique spaces for a wedding ceremony or reception. For 30 people or under (possibly for a rehearsal dinner, engagement party, small wedding, etc), the Wine Tasting Room has unique wood and stone decor, which is very nice. If you have 60 guests or less, you could actually dine at one long table amidst authentic wine barrels. Very unique. Could be even more extraordinary with the right decor.   Up to 60 guests.

In my opinion, The Windsor Arms is unquestionably, absolutely gorgeous. This is where you get total luxury without the 'ballroom look'. It's that upscale, celebrity-CD-launch-party style of ambiance mixed with the architecture and history of the building itself, that makes this location one of my all time favourites. More to love: luxury suites, on-site spa services, a fireside pool, 24 hour butler service, on-site gym, Add to this the luxury suites for your honeymoon or guests... Whatever it costs to say 'I Do' here, it's worth it.
