Entire resort for you and your guests? BOOK SEVERN!! :)

My husband and I got married at Severn Lodge on September 9th 2023. We had the most magical wedding weekend at Severn and it is something we will never forget. Our guests were absolutely blown away by the view, the service, the food and the overall experience. We are happy beyond words that we decided to go with Severn after a really poor experience at another resort. The staff at Severn made up for our terrible experience and were there every step of the way in helping make our dreams come to life. It was everything we wanted and more. The fact that our guests could come on the Friday and enjoy the resort all weekend long was such a treat. Seeing the resort filled with all of our family and friends was so special and we had the resort all to ourselves the entire weekend which made for such a magical vibe there!! If there was ever an issue, the staff were quick to resolve it and help in whatever way they could. Christina, the venue coordinator, was absolutely FANTASTIC from Day 1. She was so attentive, went above and beyond to meet our needs, and truly had our best interest at heart. We were so afraid to trust anyone after our previous experience at a different resort and Christina made us feel so comfortable and at ease every step of the way. I can't say enough good things about the lodge. The food was amazing and of high quality. Chef was happy to work with us to create a menu that worked for us and our guests. He was accommodating to all of the dietary needs and requests. Several of our guests said that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding! This made us so happy as the food was one of the most important things to us. We had several guests say it was the best wedding they had ever been to and we have been hearing praises about it still to this day, and I am sure we will continue to hear it for years to come!! The rooms were so great and the beds were very comfortable. They had recently been updated and I know they are working on further updates in their off season that sound very exciting. I would recommend using Severn Lodge to anyone looking for a resort-style wedding. We stayed here on another occasion when we did our food tasting/ selection and that was also an incredible stay and experience :)
Lastly, you really can't beat the view and how much there is to do on the grounds. It's the most magical place for us and we will forever hold it so close to our hearts. Thank you to everyone at Severn for their generosity, care and attentiveness. We are forever grateful and hope to visit again someday soon!! - Kara-Lee & Brad

Above and Beyond

There are no words to describe our time with Severn Lodge. From day we felt like family & the second we met Melissa we knew we wanted this resort to be apart of our wedding day.
The venue is loaded with exceptionally kind, helpful and cheerful staff. Each of the staff members always had a smile & was always so helpful.
Our wedding day was perfect thanks to this resort.
The rooms are large, there are countless rooms to choose from. They were clean & if we ever needed anything they were a phone call away.
Melissa, the ultimate day of coordinator. Just as you're stressed for the big day, she calms you down. She notes every detail you want & is always quick to respond to emails.
Chef, THE best food we've ever had. Our guests were blown away at the unique, fresh taste of our buffet dinner. We ate there about 5 separate occasions & were never let down.
The price, all fair! We paid less for our resort wedding than friends did for one night.
This is the place to be, pet friendly (which is a must for us), affordable, memorable and we've made friends for life. Our guests have mentioned they would be going back as well.
Thank you Severn Lodge for making our day perfect.

Perfect day

We had our wedding at Severn Lodge in Sept 2018. It couldn't have been more perfect a day. Melissa is the wedding coordinator and she was fantastic in every way. Responsive, professional, and very accommodating. She was there right up until the day when I walked down the aisle. All of the other staff were beyond helpful in everything that we requested. The dining room manager Ryan was also incredible and both him and Melissa worked together to pull everything off without a hitch. Even when we wanted things done differently than normal, the accommodated us. The setting couldn't be better, our guests had nothing but good to say about the resort, location and food. Planning on coming back to stay for our anniversaries. Would recommend them 100%, you will not be disappointed.

Incredible experience

My husband and I were married at the Severn Lodge Sept 22, 2018. The power was knocked out the night before and the entire team worked so hard to make the day go off without a hitch and our guests were so impressed. It's a beautiful place, great service, delicious food and perfect if you're looking for that Muskoka-wedding feel. We had the best day ever, and it was so much due to the incredible team at the Severn Lodge, led by Melissa. Can't thank them enough.
