Stanley's Olde Maple Lane Farm

Great experience. Beautiful landscape during all seasons. The food is amazing. The staffs are friendly. Great at addressing your questions or concerns. Will make sure you relax and enjoy your wedding day.

We had our wedding at Stanley's on Sept 17. It was very beautiful, excellent decorations, the grounds were beautiful, everything was on time, the food was excellent, the coordinator was polite,

The only things we found that were sort of off par were, sometimes in our communications with the staff before the wedding, we would ask a question such as, can we come a bit later for a meeting, and the answer was yes but then later no. Also during the rehearsal, some of our wedding party were a little late by 30 mins, we got a couple of dirty looks from some staff, we felt a bit rushed out of there and a bit uncomfortable. It would have been nice if they were a bit more friendly towards us that day.

Other than that, maybe providing more buns and sufficient bread for the evening snack could be beneficial in the future.

All in all, we really loved it, the horse and carriage was perfect, the ceremony, the dinner and all the extras. Thank you Stanley's, we had a beautiful day, one to remember!

My husband and I were so excited to get married at Stanley’s. In fact, as soon as we got there we said send us the contract. Unfortunately , we didn’t experience this excitement the rest of the journey. We had trouble contacting them and getting a response was difficult (I had to call and ask them to reply).

Food tasting: the food was dry and bland I ended up leaving really worried what our food would be like.

Day of :

We got married in the tornado of 2022. What a wild and unfortunate circumstance. When we arrived my father and I were about to walk down the aisle and the power cut off. They told me to go to the bathroom (which was fine as they brought guests inside). Once I went into the bathroom, I saw it was flooded and the bath
Toilets weren’t working (before the power was off).

As we were trying to arrange an indoor ceremony I saw Stanley’s staff putting water into toilet which flooded it further ruining my dress .

Stanley’s told us they did not have a generator , and just as I was explaining that is no excuse as they were calling for A storm for the entire week (and we paid 24k just for food), they suddenly “showed up” with one. They knew a storm was coming and couldn’t go buy a 300 dollar generator ? after I paid 24k?

The generator only powered lights . The womens washroom was flooded and didn’t work the entire night, it was actually disgusting as all the toilets were overflowing. 90 % of my guests left at 10 as their were no working washrooms and they cousins wash their hands , it’s covid times still !

I completely understand that the weather was bad , but this weather was being called for all week and the amount we paid them, they should have been prepared.

We are ultimately happy we’re married but regret getting married here.

When my husband and I were looking for a wedding venue, we both knew we wanted a place that gave us a serene outdoor option without the hassle of being near any busy city setting. We couldn’t find anything near our town of Petawawa and a quick Google search showed us Stanley’s Olde Maple Lane Farm.

From day one of visiting Stanley’s, we knew it was special. The matured maple trees, the charming stone house and the calmness of the grounds gave us a sense of comfort and peace. It felt like you were at home and you wanted to share the experience with everyone you love. So that’s what we did! We have to give a huge thank you to Jenna and Earl for helping us feel secure as we booked our wedding date. When your partner is in the military, you never truly know what the next few months or years of your life looks like. Earl provided us with so much support and ensured us that no matter what happened military wise, they would help us create our dream wedding no matter the date.

Only a few months after we booked, an unexpected hurdle popped up that no one was expecting… the COVID-19 pandemic. Not only was our wedding at stake, but there was also uncertainty surrounding our venue and vendors businesses. As every business and individual made their way through the pandemic and new guidelines, precautions and protocols were put in place, Stanley’s was in contact with us every step of the way. With each new announcement, there was an email from them to cover how we can proceed safely or how to postpone if needed. Thankfully we had a small guest list that worked in our favour, and we decided not to postpone and to continue with all safety precautions in place.

Stanley’s exceeded our expectations in more ways than one. From their dedication and diligence in compliance with the provincial pandemic restrictions and guidelines, to creating what I can only describe as a DREAM wedding… We were left speechless along with our guests. With our wedding wish list of ideas, the staff at Stanley’s took it and ran. My husband can attest that I am not always the most easy going person and am very picky, but I can honestly say that everything they created in regards to decor, food and safety was exactly what we had pictured, but better! It was our very own fairy tale.

Our ceremony site at The Maple Grove was the perfect mixture of romantic and cozy. Our reception site was moved to The Maples Hall from the Old Stonehouse Hall to accommodate for social distancing guidelines. They managed to create the larger space for a smaller group into an intimate and warm setting where each guest/social bubble had their designated safe place, yet could still safely interact with other guests from the distance. We had a Thanksgiving Turkey dinner that tasted homemade and not mass produced. It warmed and filled you up, yet no matter how full you still wanted to eat more and more because of how good the food was! Our wedding apple pie that we cut melted in your mouth and we could not get enough.

Stanley’s has all of the beauty and serenity of being in the country, all while having the conveniences and perks of being near the city. We may be two hours away, but whenever we make a trip to Ottawa we plan on continuing to support this great local business. We will forever pass along good words of your venue and service. You gave us the most amazing gift and we are forever thankful. We sincerely hope you continue to succeed and thrive, and make it through this pandemic unharmed.

We got married at Stanley's in the Fall. The venue was absolutely beautiful. The staff were very nice and professional. They went above and beyond to make this day perfect. We decided to do our own decor and they were very easy to work with when it came to who set up what. The room looked exactly like our vision. It was raining at the time of our ceremony, they quickly relocated the ceremony to an area that was of our liking, without much delay. The food was delicious. The timing of dinner/speeches etc was perfect! All the guests (200) were served every course within 10 minutes. Erin, the day of coordinator made sure my husband and I were happy and fed the whole night. Kathy and Jenna are very easy to work with during the planning phase as well. All in all, I would recommend this venue to anyone.

Stanley’s was my dream come true. The beauty of the farm has been everything I wanted. We couldn’t thank the staff enough for all their services. They really made us feel comfortable and always made sure we had what we needed. They were professional and super pleasant individuals.

The staff at Stanley's are incredibly helpful in every aspect of your wedding. From the preparation to the decorating to the day of! We just had our wedding there 2 weekends ago and it was simply amazing! They helped with every detail. If I had a worry, they would fix it for me right away. They made our day truly amazingly beautiful!

Susan and her team did a fantastic job. They have us the flexibility to customize all the areas that are important to us and had wonderful solutions for the rest. The food was delicious and all local and the transition from ceremony to reception was complimented on by all our guests. Absolutely recommend!

Stanley's made our wedding dreams come true. The venue is absolutely beautiful, our guests loved being able to visit the animals and explore the gardens. It was an incredibly warm day, but the AC in the Maples Hall was an absolute life saver. Katie, Colin, and Kathy were all diligent in ensuring we had everything we asked for, and incredibly patient with all of our questions and needs. The hall was decorated beautifully, the food was fantastic, and we all had the most amazing time. We'd recommend this venue to anyone, and will be returning every year during maple season. Not only we're Stanley's absolutely excellent to us, but it felt good knowing that we were supporting a local family and local Ottawa farms. Thank you Stanley's!
