Weddings & Event Venue Rentals

Nationally renowned cultural sites provide distinctive settings for your special event. The revitalization of heritage buildings at some of the city’s finest historic sites has resulted in the creation of indoor and outdoor gathering places like no other. Presented in varying styles from the early 1800s to modern day, each venue exudes its own charm and appeal. Locations include:

• a Coach House on the estate of Canada’s pre-confederation ‘Prime Minister’
• a former Stable converted to a cottage-style retreat in the very heart of the city
• a modern Cellar beneath a Gage family homestead built in 1818
• an 1859 Woodshed with old-growth wooden beams and gracefully arching trusses
• one of the finest pieces of stone architecture in Ancaster built in 1871
• a classical pavilion crowned by a cupola
• Expansive green spaces, tended gardens and captivating landscapes
