It was an absolutely gorgeous afternoon for the much anticipated Open House at Fermanagh Farms. The sun was out, a slight breeze was blowing, and all the splendour of spring surrounded us – the perfect day to show off everything this rustic barn venue has to offer for couples in search of the idyllic wedding venue.
Located a mere 30 minutes from Vaughan, Fermanagh Farms is the perfect setting for any couple looking to host up to 120 guests (or 200 guests in the tented area). The original barn, built in 1893, received a renovation in 2014, upgrading the space to be able to provide everything a marrying couple could need for their dream day. The property is full of natural backdrops for that once in a lifetime wedding portrait, complete with forested trails, planted fields, and a tranquil pond to tie it all together. A big thanks to The Wedding Hive for capturing the entirety of the day.
Entering the space, I decided to drop by and meet with all the lovely vendors. Designs by Dina provided multiple décor set-ups throughout the space, including tablescapes, welcome signage, and the gorgeous hexagonal arch set-up, showcasing the one of many ceremony sites found on the property.
Some of the most beautiful artwork on display at a wedding is the wedding cake. Creative Atelier Cakery did not disappoint, showcasing intricately designed masterpieces.
Of course, the best way to ensure you don’t miss a thing during the wedding day: the photographer. Providing both photo and video for your most special day, The Wedding Hive has you covered, an all-in-one service.
Make sure all the guys are sharply dressed. 4MenUnited provides unique options for the whole groom’s party.
Mobile bars are all the rage these days. Bubbles & Co lets you spoil your guests with the ability to customize your drink options. This duo team will ensure your cocktail hour is one that will be the talk of the event.
Alessandra of Antipasti Artistry handcrafts beautiful charcuterie boards and walls, both for cocktail hour, or even for a late night snack – such a cute and memorable idea!
Partnering with Gervais Party & Tent Rentals ensured that every detail of the event was taken care of. From the harvest tables to the tent, chairs, and dishware, their expertise added an extra layer of elegance to the occasion.
Every wedding needs an officiant, and with over 50 to choose from, Enduring Promises easily guarantees a smooth ceremony for every couple.
After completing our tour and meeting all the fabulous vendors inside the barn, it was time to head out to check the always-popular tented space as well. On our way, it was great to meet some additional unique vendors.
