Mediocre venue

we went through 3 planners. Bad response time. The wrong food selection was given out, we specifically requested a change for the food. The on-site coordinator asked the same question multiple times, and didn’t keep us on track. Not worth the price.

Perfect location for our garden ceremony

The Nottawasaga Inn was the perfect location for our wedding ceremony. We wanted a garden wedding and this place was gorgeous, we had an allotted time for uninterrupted photos which I loved and the place was packed with beautiful flowers. They also provided us with a backup room in case of inclement weather. Elizabeth, the events & wedding coordinator was incredible to work with. She was very responsive and easy to talk to on the phone, by email and in person. She thought of all the things I hadn’t considered for the ceremony which made our day extra special. When we booked the garden, we didn’t realize that she would also be there to guide us and coordinate the ceremony. She was there with us every step of the way; she called to our room to let us know when all the guests had arrived and cued us to walk down the aisle. The location is beautiful and the people are even more amazing.

Phenomenal. Made our wedding day perfect!

Sarah & team at the Nottawasaga were PHENOMENAL. The resort made sure that everything was perfect, and it truly was. The food, service, and and attention to detail went above and beyond what I expected. As the bride, they made me feel special :)! And they left us champagne in our suite for after the wedding reception!! We rented the presidential suite which was perfect for the bridal party to get ready in -it is WORTH the extra money!! It was also VERY convenient to have a restaurant and hotel on site. The groomsmen and groom went swimming and played mini golf before the ceremony :)

The Nottawasaga Resort worked tirelessly to make my vision come true on my wedding day. I was so happy with the turn out, we had amazing weather, and no bumps in the road. I worked with Stephanie, my coordinator, and no matter how many questions I had, even if they had already been asked many times, she always answered them in a timely manner and a friendly demeanor. The staff there was truly amazing. We loved the menu selections, though some guests had complaints about the entrees, that may be due to the length of time between courses, but otherwise it was honestly amazing. All of our guests complimented us on our choice of venue. The front lobby, and newer side of the Resort is stunning! I had a suite on the older side, but I was really impressed with the cleanliness, and the service they provided with house keeping.

Overall it is a day I won't ever forget, and everyone enjoyed themselves, I would recommend this venue time and time again, and we will be looking forward to visiting on our anniversaries!

A must visit venue!

We loved the Nottawasaga and so did our guests! Having everything in one place for your wedding is such a stress reliever and this place had it all! Ceremony and reception spaces, catering, bar, hotel rooms and lots of extra amenities for our guests to enjoy.
The gardens outside for our ceremony is really what sold us on the place and it really was beautiful, I didn't even need to add any decor to it! Everyone there was so helpful and friendly, we couldn't have asked for more.
A shout out to Elizabeth for helping in the lead up and on the day of to make everything go smoothly. We'll definitely visit here again :)

Above and Beyond

My husband, myself and our guests can't stop raving about the Nottawasaga Resort. The rooms were beautiful, the food was delicious and the service was unbelievable.

We worked with their coordinator Sarah and she was an absolute angel from the day we met her, up to and including on our wedding day. Her and Frankie (who we just met on our wedding day) made sure we had nothing to worry about. They were on top of everything and because of that we had a totally stress free day. Everyone tried to prepare me for something to go wrong but becasue of them, nothing did! I wouldn't have changed a thing. They ensured everything went as we had planned and stayed in touch through the whole process. Those two, and the rest of the staff at the Nottawasaga were a dream team.

We had a great experience here at the Nottawasaga for our wedding from start to finish. It is absolutely gorgeous. The garden is beautiful, the food is good, and since mostly everything is included we didn't have to worry about all the small things like tables, chairs, linens...

After searching out a few venues, our daughter decided that the Nottawasaga offered everything they were looking for in their May wedding. Stephanie, our planner, was exceptional - "patience" being her second name. Having a May date, we did not add add't floral to the Outdoor Garden, it was beautiful on its own and well maintained with add't hanging baskets. Stephanie was available for last minute problems and to start the procession off on the right foot - we couldn't have pulled it off without her.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Chef and his team. You guys are amazing. Our family knows food and the buffet meal was beyond excellent - beef was tender, Thai chicken to die for, pasta dish exceptional; Salads fresh, desserts melt-in-your mouth. The presentation was superb, staff exceedingly friendly, helpful; a great start to a wonderful evening - thank you for a memorable meal.
Many thanks to our sweet bartender and ticket takers, what a joy! Fantastic Wait staff - thank you! The General Manager was available for any problems and we thank you for this, you were very kind and patient with any inquiries.
The Nottawasaga does offer a list of recommended professionals if asked - I would encourage any bride to contact people on this list ... I have written separate reviews.
And last - thank you to the wonderful Reservation Staff - don't have the woman's name who I mostly dealt with but what patience she has. Helpful and eager to please are her goals and she surpassed them constantly - you were great!
To the Nottawasaga Team - thank you! The entire process was fairly easy with all of your input - it's a great place to hold any event, but especially a Wedding. Parents of the Bride (Margo & Peter J)
