We had our wedding at The Hollows Camp in August amidst Covid-19. It was the best day of our lives and made up for the damper the pandemic had set on our lives. The wedding was magical and our guests told us they had never been to a wedding like this. The Hollows are so easy to work with and let you customize your wedding unlike most venues and banqut halls. They ensure you are compliant with different regulations. We signed the contract less than 30 days before the wedding. It felt like a marathon to re-plan our wedding in such short time but Veronica kept us on track with regular check-ins. Don't worry about not having all the answers, Veronica will guide you and help you plan the perfect day. We could not have done this without her! On the day of the event, Veronica, Logan, Janet and their team did a fantastic job. They made sure things went according to the plan. The family property itself is absolutely beautiful. There are so many areas guests were able to explore and enjoy. The apple orchard with the benches, the dock by the water, the horses, the games area, and a beautiful beach and forest on the other side of the water. This property is everything! Everything I envisioned for my outdoor wedding came true at The Hollows. We couldn't have asked for more. I'm so happy we found them!!

Fairytale Outdoor Wedding
My husband and I are thrilled with our decision to host our ceremony and reception at The Hollows Camp in large part because we got to partner with Veronica and Logan in the planning process. Our wedding was 100% outdoors, this created a lot of logistics, but nothing that Veronica and Logan weren't up for. We made the decision to not put up tents and the result was the romantic vision we had: dancing under the stars, dinner under apple trees, cocktails during sunset while looking out at a lake.
Veronica and Logan made us feel that they personally cared about our day, they were a dream to work with and added incredible value to our planning process: they kept us sane and on track...oh and they deliverable the most beautiful wedding day we could have hoped for.

A majestic experience, sharing our unique love, at a magical venue
Words cannot do justice to the magic that exudes from Hollows Camp. Being able to get married and then celebrate in an outdoor setting with the unique energetic vibe that Hollows Camp has to offer is truly spectacular. In all my years, I have not encountered a person as helpful and sweet as Veronica. She was there for our every need and more. With the help of her crew, and imaginative woodsman Fiancée Logan, our day is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

Great Venue, Better People
The Hollows Camp is a beautiful place to have an all outdoors wedding. Veronica and the team were super easy to work with, and very accommodating to our many requests. We couldn't recommend them more!
Veronica is a very hands on venue coordinator, who goes above and beyond to help the couple with the entire planning process. She gave us a lot of good recommendations for third-party vendors, and she was the liaison for the vendors we ended up going with.
Please note that the Hollows Camp does require rentals on dishware, linen, chairs, catering, etc. However, Veronica would gladly help out with the rental processes.

Best wedding venue ever!
The Hollows Camp is really a hidden gem. We fell in love on our very first visit, which was in the middle of the winter where the snow was up to our knees. Even then, we were able to picture our late-summer wedding immediately where we said our vows in the beautiful apple orchard on a greenest grass field, l and dance the night away by the quiet but charming lake. Veronica and Logan greeted us with the warmest hospitality, which sealed the deal for us right away after a few iffy experiences with other venues. They answered all of our questions and never pressured us into anything. Once we’ve committed, Veronica essentially became our wedding planner. She is the most organized, thoughtful, and efficient person. She helped us with everything from suggesting caterers and DJs to finding the best dress store. Whenever we felt confused or anxious about anything, she was there to help.
Our wedding day was perfect from start to finish. Even though we ran a bit behind schedule, our guests and us never felt like there was anything out of place. All safety measures for COVID were in place and everyone felt safe and happy. My husband and I cannot express enough how much we love The Hollows Camp for both its gorgeous location and its wonderful staff, especially Veronica and Logan who helped us plan every step of the way! We have to mention that our wedding took place in September 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, and despite all the chaos and anxiety that came with this, we had our most perfect dream wedding day thanks to The Hollows Camp!
I grew up at The Hollows and hold the property and business close to my heart. Over the years, I have taken my love of the outdoors and connected it to my passion for event planning. I am a former Event Operations Manager for The Ultimate Fighting Championship in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand & former Event Project Manager for large scale live events and music festivals such as Boots & Hearts, Comic-Con, Crossfit and Festival International. I bring a wealth of planning knowledge to Hollows weddings from my 10 years in professional event planning and am committed to creating a one of kind experience for every Hollows couple.
