About

On WeddingWire since 2018

Last update: January 2025

The cornerstone of this Gothic-style church was laid in 1881. It was described as “one of the finest church buildings
east of Toronto” and is now where hundreds of couples have started thier next adventure together since being lovingly restored in 2017. Millbrook Cathedral, located in beautiful Peterborough county, no longer operates as a church, but strictly as a non-denominational venue for Couples Madly in Love. This unique event venue houses a combination of classic and modern features unlike anywhere else. Warm and welcoming, with a host of facilities and amenities, it is everything you can want for an unforgettable celebration.

Fall Pop-Up Wedding

Booking the Millbrook Cathedral was an easy decision to make - it is local to us so we drive by the beautiful venue daily, and it offered a service that appealed to us - a small, intimate pop-up wedding package. With two small little ones, I was looking for something that would help me plan all the details and Millbrook Cathedral and their events team did all of that and more - making it a stress free process for us! From the stained glass windows, the comfortable reception lounge downstairs, and the natural beauty outside, we were so happy with how everything looked day of. And the included vendors that provided our bouquets, cake, music, photography, grazing table and ceremony officiant were incredible. Highly recommend!

The perfect venue!

My husband and I got married here this summer in a 6 hour pop-up wedding. Millbrook Cathedral is absolutely beautiful and we were so happy with their staff. Liz is amazing, Sam, Chantal & our planner for the day Pamela really made this the best day of our lives. We could not have imagined getting married anywhere else. The pop up style wedding is the best package for anyone wanting their venue to take care of the majority of the planning, Millbrook Cathedral’s talented staff & vendors made this a stress-free, perfect day. Thank you so much 😊

Perfect for an anxious bride!

Millbrook Cathedral was recommended to me from my mother - and I'm so grateful we went with them to plan our perfect day. Liz and her team take the majority of stress off of the entire planning process. They are efficient, professional and oh so kind. My wife and I are so glad we chose to get married at the Millbrook Cathedral.

Millbrook Cathedral was Pure Magic

My husband and I married at the Millbrook Cathedral last week, which was absolutely beautiful!
The staff on-site, the location, and the pop-wedding package were more than I could have ever asked for! Every detail they put into our special day was beyond perfect. I highly recommend them for any event if you want to have the most magical day ever! The Millbrook Cathedral is a stunning venue with friendly and kind staff. Thank you for everything!

The wedding of our dreams

We fell in love with the Millbrook Cathedral for the high ceilings and stained glass windows. From the pictures alone we knew we wanted to get married here. Working with the venue only solidified that feeling. The venue was so accommodating throughout the entire process. From date changes to package modifications, we were able to customize our small pop-up wedding to fit our needs. We would absolutely recommend this gorgeous historic space to anyone looking for a flexible venue to tie the knot!

A perfect day!

I can’t say enough good things about this beautiful venue and wonderful staff. Liz was phenomenal to work with, always responded quickly and answered our many many questions. People say the day flies by, but both my husband and I didn’t feel that way, and I think that’s a testament to how well planned and organized everything was. We had time to actually take it all in and enjoy the day, without feeling overwhelmed and rushed. Everyone of our guests commented on how beautiful and inviting the space was. To see our vision fully come to life because of this beautiful venue and staff was absolutely incredible. We can’t thank you enough!

The Perfect Pop-Up Wedding

We had our wedding last month at Millbrook Cathedral and we're over the moon with how it all turned out. The venue itself is stunning with multiple picture perfect areas inside and out. We went with their pop-up wedding offer and added an extra hour to the ceremony and I definitely think we made the right decision - Liz and her team were so attentive and helpful from the very start and provided so many options to customize to make this truly feel like our special day. The vendors they use are fantastic and other than providing some direction on preferences when it came to things like florals and cake there was little that we needed to do in the lead up, and we were delighted to see it all come together on the big day.

I would whole-heartedly recommend booking Millbrook Cathedral for your wedding or event!
