Beautiful - Perfect

We had checked out sooo many locations prior to landing on the Nottawasaga as our venue choice. We compared spaces, teams, expense of the venue, expense of the wedding as a whole as with less inclusive spaces came additional expenses of bar and catering etc. In fact, once we checked out the Nottawasaga we knew from that moment that we had found our location. It offered amazing meal options, bar, it's a resort so had rooms for visiting guests on-site, ceremony and reception space, a beautiful balcony and on-site makeup and hair (which we didn't end up using because of availability but it was our first choice for consideration!)...though the list could truly go on and on. The venue offered space for our rehearsal dinner too with various options. We worked with Samantha and she was absolutely phenomenal to work with: incredibly accommodating, quick to respond, eager to assist in any way and allowed us to come back and view the space and switch decisions as many times as we'd like. We truly could not recommend the Nottawasaga and there space and team more. Yes, they're a one-stop-shop and while that drew us to them, their team and efforts is what made the day incredible. You will not be disappointed in the execution, in the preparation and the options. Highly recommend.

A Dream Wedding Come True: Exceptional Service at The Nottawasaga Resort

We recently had our wedding at The Nottawasaga Resort in Alliston, and it was an absolute dream come true! From the moment we arrived at the venue, we were greeted by the breathtaking scenery and elegant atmosphere that set the perfect tone for our special day.

However, what truly made our wedding unforgettable was our exceptional wedding coordinator, Samantha Gaston. From our very first meeting, Samantha impressed us with her professionalism, warmth, and incredible attention to detail. She took the time to understand our vision and preferences, offering invaluable suggestions that helped us refine our ideas and create the perfect day.

Throughout the planning process, Samantha was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and ensure that every detail was meticulously organized. Her experience and expertise shone through as she coordinated all aspects of our wedding, from the ceremony setup to the reception. She worked seamlessly with our vendors, ensuring everything ran smoothly and on time, allowing us to fully enjoy our day without any worries.

On the day of the wedding, Samantha's calm demeanor and presence made all the difference. She managed everything flawlessly, allowing us and our families to relax and savor each moment. She ensured that our timeline was followed, the décor was set up beautifully, and every detail was just as we had envisioned. Her dedication to making our day special was evident, and we felt truly cared for every step of the way.

The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces that provide a perfect backdrop for photos. The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable, contributing to the overall wonderful experience.

If you're considering The Nottawasaga Resort for your wedding, I cannot recommend it enough, and be sure to ask for Samantha Gaston as your wedding coordinator. Her expertise, passion, and commitment to excellence will ensure your wedding is everything you've dreamed of and more. Thank you, Samantha, and the entire Nottawasaga team, for making our special day so magical!

Over all ok

Honestly the planning and arranging everything with Samantha was amazing. She was open to our view of what we wanted and was very responsive. The only issue I really had was with the wait staff and bartender. The whole thing felt very rushed and the dinner was not nearly as good as the taste testing was really disappointed in that because I raced to our guests about how good the dinner was going to beand our late night snack was supposed to go out at 11 but was put out at 9 pm pretty much when we just finished the dessert. So we didn’t get to try it. It was put out and then was gone within an hour I don’t know if any guests got to try it.Our bartender also was cutting off some of our guests that were in their 50’s -60’s which I also thought was ridiculous we ran out of several beers, alcohols and mixes. My wedding was only 65 people.One of the wait staff also asked me the bride if I was “smoking the good stuff” meaning weed and then constantly started to harass my father in law. The whole thing wasn’t a bad price but I feel like the staff just really made the whole thing unpleasant.

Garden Ceremony Incredible

We had the most beautiful wedding at The Nottawasaga. The gazebo setting and mature gardens were beautiful for the ceremony and pictures. We highly recommend this venue. Food, service and value 5 stars from these happy newlyweds!!

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.

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're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
