About

On WeddingWire since 2015

Last update: September 2022

Century Barn is a wedding venue nestled among the rolling hills of Cavan, Ontario. The seven-generation estate run by the Stewart Family offers the perfect place to host weddings, corporate events, and community functions. With permanent fixtures and amenities, it is much more than a barn. Spectacular sunsets, hayfields, spring blossoms, summer breezes or fall foliage await to impress discerning visitors.

Facilities and capacity

Century Barn can hold a maximum of 140 guests and is available throughout the week for weddings and other special events. The venue has several spaces to host the nuptial celebrations. Outside, couples are welcome to the ceremony garden next to the barn for the ritual service. Afterward, the pair-of-honour and guests can enjoy a cocktail hour and hors d’oeuvres in the outdoor courtyard. Inside, a furnished loft and lounge area is an idyllic setting to enjoy a toast. The Grand Barn also serves as a reception area for a night of dinner and dancing or an alternative ceremony space should the weather turn. The venue is complete with a bar, including a fridge, a freezer, and taps. A wedding suite is open to the nearlyweds inside the barn, fitted with floor-to-ceiling mirrors, a flushable washroom, and electrical outlets. To facilitate outside caterers on the day, the venue has a preparation pad with lighting and water access for an exceptional gourmet experience.

Services offered

Century Barn only hosts one event per day, offering exclusive access for the celebrations. On the day, the venue attendants are available to orient vendors, greet guests and direct parking for seamless event execution. The DIY bar service gives couples the freedom to work within their budget and customize liquor selections for their guests. A booking with Century Barn also includes the use of their tables, banquet chairs and various décor pieces, so there is one less thing to worry about. If the barn's collection does not suit your fancy, several excellent local vendors will have what you are looking for at competitive prices. The service offerings available include but are not limited to:

Indoor and outdoor lighting
Assortment of tables
Padded banquet chairs
Vintage wine-barrels
Lawn games
Exclusive use of the property for wedding photos

Best Venue & Wedding Team - A Must Book!

My husband and I cannot put into words how amazing the wedding team was, and how beautiful and picturesque the venue is. The team was so accommodating, approachable and extremely well organized. No other venue in our opinion would have provided the same customer service/family-oriented experience.

We got married on the Friday, so there was a 'wedding package', which included everything including our amazing wedding planner, the DJ, officiant, photographer, bartenders, food, dessert, chairs, tables, place settings, decorations and more. Having the venue take care of everything, including the working timeline and making sure everything went smoothly was the best decision my husband and I could have ever made. We never felt stressed once knowing that the team was there to plan and coordinate pretty much everything. We supplied our own alcohol, which was a huge cost saving and another perk about using this venue!

Our friends the day after the wedding said to us "you know its a good wedding when people go back for seconds and the dancefloor is never empty", which it was. The food was incredible and many people sent us messages after to say how delicious it was.

Our photos (just sneak peaks so far) are absolutely stunning and a special thanks to our photographer, Alastair, included with the wedding package and highly recommend.

Kim, Brooke and the Century Barns team helped make our day perfect and unforgettable.

A must book!

Beautiful and charming venue with amazing team!

Our wedding at Century barn was absolutely amazing. From the very beginning of planning, everyone at Century Barn was so helpful and engaged in planning our special day with us. On the day of the wedding, Seanna and Brooke went above and beyond to make sure we had the best day. They were incredibly attentive, checked in frequently to make sure everything was going smoothly, and just so sweet. We couldn’t have asked for a better day or venue. The property and barn are truly beautiful.

Dream Venue and Team

My husband and I just got married at Century Barn and we are beyond thrilled that we chose this venue. Century Barn is absolutely stunning, rustic, clean, and offers so many beautiful spots to gather with friends and family and/or take pictures. Our photographer was in love with this venue! We got so many compliments on how beautiful our wedding was at this location! It easily fit our 75-person wedding. We chose the Sunday package that included all the vendors and it made the process so much easier! The best part though, is the unbelievably kind, organized, and helpful team at Century Barn. We were blown away by their service and will miss working with them! They hands down made our wedding day our dream day and we are forever grateful.

Outstanding venue!

Working with Brooke was like working with the Venue of our dreams! To say she went above and beyond is the understatement of the century! She continuously worked with us to help accomodate our requests. She followed up with us during the most important timelines and provided helpful suggestions to give us ideas of how to work with the space. We are beyond grateful and would highly recommend this venue. 10/10

Amazing venue and wonderful family

Where to start! The Century Barn team were nothing but amazing. When our wedding plans changed unexpectedly, they did everything they could to ensure the reception we later had was just perfect. Their kindness and flexibility were so very much appreciated by my husband and myself. Not to mention the property and barn itself is absolutely stunning and incredibly well-kept. We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather and held our reception out among the gardens. Thank you again for everything and hope to visit again someday!!

Gorgeous Barn Venue

We had our wedding at a century Barn in July 2022 and it was exactly the wedding I dreamed of. I walked into the barn and couldn’t believe they had brought all my Pinterest photos to life! I would highly recommend this venue if you are looking for a rustic but elegant venue. It is a family-run business who genuinely cares and went out of their way to ensure the day was perfect and they work with an incredible team of vendors who helped to make it a beautiful stress free day.
