Nestled on 10.2 acres, Steckle Heritage Farm is comprised of a beautiful 1840 bank barn, original buildings, and incredible surroundings. This heritage designated site is a wonderful place to celebrate the most important day of your life. With beautiful green grounds and an authentically rustic feel, this versatile venue is a perfect choice for your wedding.
Facilities and capacity
The old bank barn is an ideal space to host your wedding. The interior is beautifully furnished with hand hewn beams, rustic wood floors, and sunlight streaming in through the barnboard. New washrooms facilities have been added to the interior of the barn for the 2017 season! Because the barn is not able to be heated or cooled, wedding bookings are only available from mid-May through to the end of September. Capacity is 165 seated, and up to 190 for a cocktail style reception. A stage, updated electrical, and additional decorative options are available for use.
Services offered
Steckle Heritage Farm partners with outside vendors for wedding services. The farm works exclusivly with Bingemans and Little Mushroom Catering for catering and bar services. They offer a broad array of culinary options for your special day. Well-lit parking is available for guests, and the facility is wheelchair accessible. Steckle Heritage Farm also hosts various special events. Consider celebrating your engagement party and bridal shower at this vintage venue.
Location
Steckle Heritage Farm is close to Homer Watson Park and Stanley Park Conservation Area in the city of Kitchener. Hotels are an 8 minute drive away, and both Hwy 8 and the 401 are within a great proximity. For guests that are travelling a distance to celebrate with you, the Region of Waterloo International Airport is only 21 minutes from the venue.
My fiance and I were so excited to hold our wedding at Steckle. After seeing the beautiful barn, we were sold! We unfortunately had to postpone our May 2020 wedding to May 2021, and now unfortunately due to covid we have had to cancel. Steckle was amazing throughout the process, from helping with planning resources, recommended vendors, and when it came to rescheduling and having to cancel. We were fully refunded and their customer service team is top notch! Thanks to Linnea and Heather for all your help. We wish we could have gotten married at this gorgeous farm!

Linnea and her team were amazing! The venue is the perfect backdrop for any outdoor wedding, it's beautiful. Because this venue was so naturally stunning we didn't need to spend time on point decor, and were instead able to add very unique pieces that brought our dream to life!

When originally contacting Steckle we heard back fairly quickly and were able to book a tour of the facilities. It was a little difficult to coordinate as we were out of town and you cannot go on the weekends, but we understood this is due to the amount of events they have on the weekends. Linnea was very friendly, helpful and welcoming. She gave us a lot of helpful information, including that Steckle works with several preferred caterers, and has several policies due to it being a heritage site. We were happy with the price of the venue, and liked that a portion of the cost was a donation toward Steckle’s programs. The grounds were very clean and well kept. The orchard where we got married was beautiful and the barn was breathtaking with the string lights. In the summer it does get fairly hot in there, so I advise that you bring several fans with you. Though it is fairly close to a busy road, it still feels like a secluded farm and you almost forget how close you are to the road. We couldn’t have imagined our wedding day anywhere else except this gorgeous venue. Definitely recommended.
