Best Wedding Experience!!

We can't speak highly enough about Eganridge - best decision to choose this venue! Jason, Melissa and the entire crew went above and beyond for our wedding in June 2019 with 85 guests to make it the most memorable day. We are getting bombarded with compliments from family and friends endlessly. Picture perfect venue on the water, no matter what weather comes your way. Always open to new and creative ideas with phenomenal fireworks, jewish traditions, rehearsal bbq and late night bonfire/pub for a wind down. Everything from the accommodations, food, and guest activities exceeded all expectations, and they were high! Go take a look at this venue and you won't be disappointed!

An Incredible Picture Perfect Wedding Reception

Having a 2021 wedding is not easy with navigating covid but Eganridge made our dream possible! My husband and I made the tough decision to keep our ceremony as our original wedding date in June and have it at a friend’s property while moving our reception event to September at the Dunsford House. Jason was right on this tough decision getting on the phone with us and helping us find a perfect alternative date so that we had better chances of having everything we wanted out of the reception! Over the next couple months Jason and I planned and organized everything. I’m an extremely type A person so he graciously put up with my long emails that included things like a minute by minute schedule of the entire evening, a guest seating and floor plan, meal choices with corresponding seats, tracking the budget, and in the end everything detail was absolutely perfect! I have a background in event planning so I was happy to work out my details independently but I would recommend that you hire an event planner to work with Eganridge directly if you aren’t organized on all your details and vision. :) Day of, the reception was an absolute dream come true. We chose to do an outdoor wedding under the stars and twinkle lights with our DJ on the roof and dinner and dancing on the Dunsford lawn below and it was straight out of a movie. The serving, set up and bar staff were all soooo polite with all of our guests. Overall just being so warm, sweet and professional. Loved those girls! Jason was right there for us to ask questions to throughout and continually went above and beyond to accommodate anything we needed. He even so thoughtfully kept my husband and I’s meals warm while we took sunset pictures and even took the time to accommodate a special request after the evening concluded! We felt extremely well taken care of and would recommend this venue to anyone! Thank you Eganridge for my favourite night of my life :).

P.S. Haven’t received my picture quite yet from my photographer so these are the only ones I have on my camera roll :).

Dream Wedding

My husband and I got married at Eganridge on September 29, 2018. It was absolutely the wedding of our dreams. The venue and grounds are breathtaking and the staff worked with us to plan the perfect wedding. The events manager Tamara is fabulous and deserves a special thank you. She kept me stress free and made sure our day went off without a hitch.... she even made sure the geese stayed away from our outdoor ceremony space!! Thank you so much Eganridge for making our dreams become a reality!

Worth Every Penny

When Eric and I first visited Eganridge, it was the scenery and location that sold us on the venue; but after almost 2 years of working with the staff at Eganridge I can say that it is much more than just a picturesque venue.

From the very begining, the event coordinator was professional and made sure that I had all my ducks in a row leading up to the wedding day. A few months before my wedding, I started corresponding with the Property director Jason, he was what made my wedding run so smoothly. I can't describe how helpful he was. Jason always answered my emails right away (even at 3am days before the wedding as I was panicking about silly things), he was so professional and he really took charge on my wedding day. He made sure every detail was timed perfectly and done with as much thought as possible.

Jason went above and beyond what I would have expected, because of him I was completely stress free on my wedding day! WHAT BRIDE CAN SAY THAT!? For example - I had screwed up the accomodations for my wedding party and he came right in and solved it in 30 seconds and everyone was happy wth their arrangments. I forgot a basket for my flower girls to throw petals from and he found one in his office for me. There was a part of the processional song I wanted to walk down the aisle to but my weding party couldnt get the timing right so Jason literally stood out-of-sight during the cermony and told my wedding party when to start walking just so the timing was right for me and my dad at the end. There was probably way more he did that I didnt even notice but overally I can't thank him enough for everything he did to make our day special.

Aside from Jason, the staff at Eganridge were phenomenal! they were so professional and friendly. There was even an overnight front-desk staff that came out to where my bridesmaids were staying to catch a bat that got into their room at 2am!

I had the perfect wedding day, nothing went wrong and that was 100% because of how attentive Jason and the staff at Eganridge were to me and my guests. If anyone is looking for a beautiful venue, with the greatest staff and most reliable and friendly coordinators go with Eganridge, you wont be disapointed.

Outstanding experience

There are truly no words to express the gratitude we have for you and your team. From the planning stages to the execution on the day of, you and your team were absolutely exemplary in customer service.
I have no words to express our gratitude to you all. Your team made us feel like family, with the warmth of your hospitality and your willingness to go above and beyond to ensure our wedding was a day we will never forget. We chose Eganridge to host our wedding as it is a beautiful venue, what we didn't realize at the start was how beautiful the people are who make Eganridge such a special place. Please be sure to pass along our highest regards to everyone but to especially Hillary, Linda T , Julie, Christina, and Chris.
It is a fine team you have and this can only be accomplished with solid leadership. Jason, we have the highest regard for you! It is quickly evident that you work very hard to make Eganridge the amazing place that it is! As business owners, we understand the diligence and dedication required to lead a team that is this effective. We have the utmost of respect for you and your work ethic it is above reproach.
We can not thank you enough for everything you did to make a day a memorable one. I would never hesitate to recommend Eganridge to anyone, as you know I have stayed at the Inn several times in the past and will continue to do so. Our hearts are full and we really can not thank you enough. We are customers for life :)

With the Highest of Regards

My husband and I got married at Eganridge in the summer of 2016 and it was everything we had hoped for and more. We couldn't have been happier with the service and amenities - the food and rooms were wonderful. The staff were very accommodating and it was a perfect venue to celebrate with our family and friends. Our favourite part was getting married under their big beautiful tree overlooking the water - it also made for beautiful photos! A bonus was only having a short walk the the Dunsford House for cocktail hour and then onto the main building for the reception. It was so convenient and unique to have various places on site to enjoy the different parts of our day. Eganridge is a perfect place for a wedding!

Don’t book here

We had our wedding reception at Eganridge on October 10, 2020. The grounds are beautiful and the staff were fantastic, but save yourself the stress and book elsewhere. Even pre-COVID the manager Jason was the most difficult, unorganized person to work with. He does absolutely anything he can to get an extra buck from couples, and in the end you end up grossly overpaying for what you get. I had a years worth of anger built up just waiting to write this review with all the infuriating details, but our day was perfect (due to ours and Eganridge’s staff efforts, no thanks to Jason)... so I’m keeping this short and putting it behind us. Book elsewhere.

Eganridge Resort, Country Club & Spa's reply:

Hi Laurie,

We are glad to hear that despite the challenges you & I had around expectations and communication, that were able to put together a perfect wedding day for you.

With respect to your assertion that "we will do anything to get an extra buck from couples" -- this is 100% completely untrue. All of wedding packages are all-inclusive with upfront and clear pricing. While some couples will add items onto packages based on their preferences, the packages are designed to give you a beautiful and complete wedding experience without any add-ons. Most of the available add-ons are listed right in the package; there will be occasional instances where there's an add-on that's never been, or extremely infrequently requested, that doesn't necessarily have a listed price in the package.

Throughout the planning process, there were 2 instances where you were informed that something was an additional charge. The first, was to book off our private dining room roughly 10 months in advance of the wedding for you to have a photobooth that would be away from our typical "photobooth location". We informed you that this space was not included in the wedding package, and provided you with 2 flexible options -- either to commit to a nominal room rental rate for the space, or leave it unbooked, and we would look at revisiting the room rental at a lower rate if it was still available closer in. While the way our resort is configured leads to a feeling of exclusivity for the couples on the wedding weekend, there are other diners, golfers, etc. that are welcome to the resort as well. This has several benefits in giving our couples additional amenities, and a greater depth of staff experience. The concept of there being an additional fee for additional space is standard practice in the event industry.

The second instance was early in the planning process, when you requested us to do a complete mock setup (despite already being provided electronic floorplans). I advised you that there would be a fee associated if you wanted it physically setup, as we'd have to bring in a setup crew to do it, and then a setup crew to undo it. Again, mock setups are basically an additional event, and require work that goes well beyond the normal scope of the "venue representative"; or something that would ever be included in a wedding package.

Overall, with all due respect, much of our communication challenges came from unrealistic expectations. We are here to help make yours (and every one of our brides) wedding of their dreams. Our packages are designed and priced to cover everything that the vast majority of our brides would want and/or need -- but they do not cover every possible unique request. We operate with a philosophy of never saying "no" to something within our control; but there are things that fall well outside of a normal wedding package that there are applicable fees for. There isn't a venue on the planet where signing up for a wedding package gives you cart blanche to do anything anytime.

Furthermore, once COVID hit, we provided you with an incredible amount of flexibility; and potential substitutions within the package, and your contract for things that were part of a pre-covid wedding, but didn't necessarily make a ton of sense in the context of a post-COVID-wedding.

Perfect Getaway Wedding – Even With COVID!

We held our wedding at Eganridge on October 18th 2020. Having booked roughly a year earlier – our original plan called for 120 guests.
When COVID hit, we reached out to Jason (our venue manager) who put us at ease in planning with so much uncertainty over what we would be allowed to do. He explained to us all the flexibility that Eganridge had to be able to accommodate the wedding using different areas of the resort (both inside and outside), different ways to layout the ballroom so that it wouldn’t feel empty if we had a lot fewer people. We were also assured that if as we got closer, we wanted to postpone, we would have the option of an October 2021 date if it came down to that.
About 2 months before the wedding, we made the decision to go ahead with our original 2020 date – and we could not have been happier with how it turned out.
We ended up with a beautiful fall day – exactly what we had hoped and dreamed for a year earlier. The grounds & property at Eganridge are absolutely amazing – especially with the fall colours! We got ready in the Dunsford House, had our ceremony down by the lake, and reception in their ballroom -- I will cherish these photos forever.
When it came to planning, the most difficult decision we had to make was who to cut from the guest list with the 50 limit – everything else was easy. Jason & Rose were incredibly helpful in helping put together our itineraries, and giving us suggestions on things to do to help keep people safe. On the day of, everything ran super-smoothly! Our originally planned 3-course meal turned into a 5-course menu – helping keep everyone safely at their tables in their bubbles -- and was absolutely delicious! I still have guests commenting on how good the meal was! Instead of dancing, we had the patio to ourselves for a post-wedding bonfire. Many of our guests stayed at Eganridge for the weekend – and this was a great way to cap it off!
Thank you again to Kim, Rose, Jason, and the entire Eganridge staff for making our day so special – especially in such stressful times
