    A Wedding Dream Come True

    There are not enough words to express how beautiful our wedding was at Temple's Sugar Bush. The day went off without a hitch from start to finish.

    Sherry gave us a very detailed tour of the venue before booking, making it easy for us to imagine exactly how the day would go. We could easily see their attentiveness to all the little details from the get go.

    The venue itself is so beautiful with several options for ceremony spaces. We did our ceremony in the woods, with the trees offering a beautiful backdrop. They also offer so much decor to choose from that we did not have to bring very much of our own, saving us a lot of work and stress. What we did bring, they set up and tore down for us. Their wedding details form made it easy for us to describe our vision for the day and they really took what we described and elevated it to a level I did not think possible.

    We had a wonderful rehearsal with the bridal party a few days before with Jenna, who thoroughly entertained us and made sure we were all prepared and knew what to do on the day of!

    Our wedding coordinator Alexandra was amazing to work with throughout and communication was so easy so there was really no need to hire a wedding planner. She was very amenable to all of the last minute changes, making it a stress free process. On the day, she frequently checked in on us, making sure we had everything we needed and every detail was perfect.

    To top it all off, the food was absolutely delicious, with guests raving about all the appetizers, courses, and dessert. They also made us a cake for cutting, which not only looked so cute, but was tasty too!

    Every member of the staff we interacted with brought such good energy and banter. You can easily see how much they love and pride themselves in making your wedding dreams come true. I would highly recommend Temple's for your wedding! Thank you again!

    Hi Michelle,
    Honestly, Temple's has the very best bride's and groom's. We do all love our work and the venue is the perfect backdrop for weddings. Your family and friends were lovely people.
    Thank you for your kind words. I'll be sure to pass along your comments to our staff. It is always a little sad for me after a wedding, as I don't get to work with that couple again, but next day I meet with another wonderful couple and the joy continues.
    Thank you Michelle, and we wish you and your wonderful husband all the best in the next chapter of your lives. See you in maple season, Sherry

    Our BEST Choice!!!

    I cannot say enough great things about Temple’s Sugar Bush!! We made the best possible choice selecting Temple’s as our wedding venue and entrusting them with such a monumental day!! From day one to after the ceremony has passed, Temple’s staff has been so easy to work with. They are prompt, responsive, and thorough in all communications. They are very well organized and have every detail thought of, which helps build a precise vision for the event. They are transparent in doing business – there were never any extra charges (no ‘service fee’ that isn’t a gratuity) or hidden costs. They have a nice inventory of décor items that they allow you to use for free. Everything was so well-coordinated and worked out exactly as we wanted!

    Venue: The venue itself is gorgeous! We were able to have our ceremony, pictures, and reception all on site, which really simplifies a lot of the logistics. The indoor space is so warm and charming and is very well-suited for 100-120 guests. But it’s the outdoor space that we really fell in love with! It’s beautifully landscaped, and there are two outdoor ceremony sites to choose from. We absolutely loved the forest option, which gave our ceremony a unique, nature-based vibe that our guests seemed to also really enjoy. (Plus it was great to have shade in the middle of August!)

    Food: The food was absolutely amazing!! We had heard about the fantastic food during our planning process, and Chef Connor totally lived up to the hype! We offered our guests meal options of salmon, steak, chicken, or a vegetarian main course, and all were top notch! We also asked to add a pasta course, and Temple’s and the chef were very accommodating to the customization of our menu. We also really appreciate the menu tasting that Temple’s organized for wedding couples, which helped us be confident in our menu selection.

    Staff: Every member of the Temple’s Sugar Bush staff was a delight to work with! They are professional, friendly, and accommodating. Sherry made us feel so well-attended to, and laid things in a very organized manner. She made us feel comfortable with the planning process and that we were in good hands. Alexandra really made every detail our day become a reality! She is so lovely and easy to work with and really had everything thought of and taken care of. On the day of our event, she really saw to my every need throughout the day and made sure that I was able to enjoy and be present for my own event. She alleviated so much of the stress that comes with planning and execution of the actual day. Jenna was so helpful with our wedding rehearsal and was with us all day on the ceremony, ensuring everything ran smoothly. We really appreciate her vibrant energy and event coordination.

    Thank you again to Temple’s Sugar Bush for facilitating an amazing day that we will always cherish and that we and our guests are sure to remember forever!!

    Temple's Sugar Bush's reply:

    Hi Jessica,
    Thank you for your thoughtful comments. We truly love planning and celebrating each couple's very special day. It fills our hearts with joy to know that you and your guests had an amazing day that you will cherish forever.

    Literally perfect

    If you want a stress free wedding day, this is 100% the venue for you. The staff made me feel so taken care of, and thought of every small detail ahead of time to make sure I only had to focus on getting married. Food is incredible, atmosphere is unmatched, gardens are beautiful, wouldn't change a thing!

    Temple's Sugar Bush's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words Jessica. We love our couples. Supporting the two of you on your wedding day is a very special honour that we take to heart. We wish the two of you all the best in the next chapter of your new lives together.

    Perfect Wedding Day!

    I cannot begin to sing enough praises of working with Temples. The venue is gorgeous, the staff are extremely knowledgeable and helpful, the food was amazing and several of the guests told me it was the best and more beautiful wedding venue they had ever been to. It made our wedding absolutely perfect!

    A dream come true

    Choosing temples as our wedding venue was an absolute dream come true! I can not say enough about temples. Not only is their venue naturally breath taking, but temples has created a space that pays attention to the small details. From their grooms room, to baskets of whatever you might need in the restrooms, temples has thought of everything ahead of time! Their selection of decor for us made decorating easy, and inexpensive. They truly are an all-inclusive wedding venue. The fact that their food is one of the best parts, is the cherry on top! Every single one of our guest raves about the food! And sooo much of it!
    Lastly I have to speak about the staff! From the very behind, Sherry and Moira were incredibly warm and welcoming. By the time our wedding was over we truly felt like part of the Temples family! We can not wait to come back in the spring for pancake breakfast and get to be in this special place once again!

    Temple's Sugar Bush's reply:

    Kristen, it was our absolute pleasure! Thank you for being a great couple! We enjoyed working with you and helping create the perfect day for your wedding. See you in the Spring.

    Amazing Rustic Venue

    Very happy with our big day at Temples. Thank you to everyone in the Temple’s team for making our day special.

    Temples is a beautiful rustic venue with a massive stone fireplace and beautiful wood beam interior! Couldn’t have asked for a better place to hold our wedding

    Temple's Sugar Bush's reply:

    Thank you for celebrating your love at Temple's. We enjoyed working with you and wish you much happiness.

    Exceptional Service and Gorgeous Grounds

    My fiance and I got married on Oct 29th, 2021 at Temple's after delaying and then cancelling our destination wedding in Mexico due to Covid. I have to say I was pretty devastated as I really didn't want to get married in Canada; I wanted to be on a beach!! We decided to go with Temple's as they had such good reviews and we just got such a good vibe from them from the very first communication.
    Now that our wedding day has come and gone I can honestly say I am so happy we ended up getting married at Temple's, our day was perfect. The staff there are absolutely impeccable. Sherry, Moira and Michael will go above and beyond to make sure your day is perfect. We cancelled our Mexico wedding in August and planned with Temple's our October wedding in less than 90 days. We did 99% of the planning virtually due to Covid and although not ideal, the planning process was smooth. We did do a site visit before booking and they even sent us home with some left overs from the event the night before so we could try the food (thanks Moira!). Temple's is all about the little details!
    The grounds at Temple's are gorgeous and although the property is small there is a lot of areas for different, beautiful backdrops. The main building is adorable from the outside and warm and inviting on the inside. They set out fleece blankets to our guests during the ceremony and had umbrellas in case of rain. They had a firepit going for after the ceremoney for guests to warm up around. They have many different decorations, candle holders, and signs for you to use all at no additional charge. Our guests raved about the food and there was a lot of variety to choose from! Sherry even offered to walk down the aisle behind me and hold my train up so it wouldn't get too wet/dirty. It ended up being quite dry luckily but being October you never know! Sherry also took down our arch swag and rearranged it on the mantle to save us from buying two different flower arrangements. They have beautiful gardens in the front and back, I almost wish we would have gotten married in the spring!
    All in all I have nothing bad to say about Temple's and the amazing crew that works there. They are kind and caring and want your day to be as special as you do. Thank you so much to everyone at Temple's, especially Sherry, Michael and Moira. We have nothing but perfect, special memories from our wedding day there! You guys rock! We will definitely be back for maple syrup in the spring.
