Private Lakeside Wedding Weekends | An Entire Resort to Yourselves
Private destination wedding weekend... Exclusive lakeside wedding resort...
Your Wedding. Your Weekend. Your Own Private Resort.
Imagine celebrating your wedding surrounded by the people you love, with an entire lakeside resort reserved exclusively for you and your guests.
At Footprints Resort, your wedding is more than a single-day event. It’s a private destination wedding weekend where everyone can arrive, settle in, celebrate together, and enjoy the resort from beginning to end.
Nestled on a private lake in Ontario’s beautiful cottage country, Footprints is a boutique resort designed for couples looking for something more personal, relaxed, and memorable than a traditional banquet hall or hotel wedding.
An Entire Resort to Yourselves
When you book Footprints for your wedding, you can reserve the entire resort exclusively for your celebration. No other resort guests. No competing weddings. No outside distractions.
With 9 rooms, 7 villas, and 7 cozy cabins, we can accommodate up to 56 overnight guests right on the property. For larger weddings, additional accommodations are available nearby.
Your guests can spend the weekend together rather than saying goodbye when the reception ends. Enjoy morning coffee by the lake, afternoons on the beach, cocktails with friends, an evening around the fire, and plenty of time to reconnect before and after the big celebration.
Beautiful Lakeside Ceremony Locations
Choose the setting that feels right for you.
Exchange your vows on the deck overlooking the water, on the lawn with the lake as your backdrop, or create an intimate ceremony along our long dock stretching out over the lake.
Throughout the property, you'll also find beautiful natural settings and intimate spaces for wedding photography, quiet moments together and those spontaneous photos that often become favourites.
Celebrate Your Way
Our Pavilion provides a unique setting for your reception and evening celebration, while the Cabana and bar area are perfect for cocktails and socializing.
You'll also have access to our lounge and full kitchen, outdoor gathering areas, fire pits and the rest of the resort throughout your stay.
Because the property is exclusively yours, you have the freedom to create a wedding weekend that feels like you, whether that means elegant and intimate, casual and relaxed, or somewhere wonderfully in between.
A Destination Your Guests Can Enjoy
Between wedding festivities, your guests can enjoy everything Footprints has to offer.
Our private lake, beach and hiking trails are complemented by complimentary recreational amenities including canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, paddle boats, a water trampoline, a diving platform and more.
There are no additional resort fees for your guests to enjoy these amenities.
It means your wedding isn't simply somewhere your guests come to attend a ceremony. It's somewhere they can spend an unforgettable weekend together.
Ontario Cottage Country, Within Reach
Footprints Resort is conveniently located near Bancroft, Ontario, approximately 2½ hours from both Toronto and Ottawa.
The Bancroft area offers additional hotels and accommodations for larger guest lists, along with florists, spas, beauty and aesthetic services and other wedding vendors.
Make a Weekend of It
Some of the best wedding memories happen outside the ceremony and reception: the night before with your closest friends, breakfast together the next morning, afternoons by the lake and stories around the fire.
That's what makes a wedding at Footprints different.
One couple. One celebration. One private lakeside resort, all to yourselves.
We invite you to discover Footprints Resort and see if it feels like the place you've been imagining for your wedding.
Children are welcome when Footprints Resort is booked for an exclusive wedding celebration.
