We had our wedding and stayed overnight at the hotel and had an amazing experience. White Oaks was professional, respectful, organized and put guests first. We felt valued and had an amazing wedding and hotel experience. Our expectations were met (during covid too) over and beyond what we expected. We had the most beautiful and prefect day. Jennica was great to work with and everything went so smoothly! Thank you!!!

Couldn't have chosen a better venue!
I am Chinese-Canadian and my husband is Tanzanian-Gujarati-Canadian. Needless to say, there was a diverse set of needs for our wedding! We met with Alicia, our venue coordinator, over a year ago and settled on White Oaks purely because of her sincerity, meticulousness and overall awesome personality; she was the #1 selling point. She was very helpful and accommodating throughout our planning process despite our varied needs. I actually cannot express in this post how amazing Alicia is - she really made my dream wedding come true!!! We hosted four events at White Oaks over the weekend: our rehearsal dinner, an Indian sangeet, a secular wedding ceremony and a wedding reception (with a Chinese tea ceremony!) Alicia guided us throughout every event, making sure everything was done just right and we stayed on time. I do also have to point out another spectacular human who also added an extra +++ to every party: Achille. Achille is honestly the best wait staff / bar tender I have ever met. He began his time with us right from the start at the rehearsal dinner all the way through to the wedding reception. His drinks are delicious but above all he just has the most amazing energy. By the end of the night everyone was on a first name basis with Achille. We stayed over at White Oaks for four nights and the overall customer service is unparalleled - every single person working in this facility is extremely friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, with all the wedding festivities I did not have a chance to really enjoy the amenities! I guess I'll just have to come back :) Thank you so much to the White Oaks team especially Alicia, Jennica and Achille for making our wedding the best wedding I've ever been to!

White Oaks Resort has something unique and special to offer brides and grooms: a forum to host a spectacular and flawless multi-cultural wedding. Our May 2017 wedding included 200+ guests for a Hindu ceremony in the morning, lunch, Christian ceremony in the evening followed by a cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. Ambitious to say the least! The facilities and staff at White Oaks Resort came together to embrace this challenge which allowed our guests to fully experience both of our cultures.
The venue has so many banquet rooms and options for ceremony space. We were able to use the gardens, upstairs banquet room, downstairs grand event space and foyer to meet all of our needs. White Oaks acted as a “one-stop-shop” for our whole day which significantly reduced our stress and allowed us to truly enjoy our wedding. We had a lot of out of town guests so having the hotel available was great for them and also allowed guests to change easily between ceremonies (including the bride and groom!). White Oaks also permits outside catering of Indian food (for a service fee) and we were able to use Moksha in Niagara Falls to make a delicious lunch buffet enjoyed by all.
HUGE thank you to the staff at White Oaks for not only what they did to make our wedding flawless but how they did it. All weddings require diligent coordination of décor, flowers, catering etc. but this is doubled for a multi-cultural wedding where we had two florists, two decorators etc. Special shout-out to Jennica for staying 100% on top of all these little details to make sure everything went according to plan. Thank you to Jennica, Claire and Tina for being responsive, attentive and compassionate while managing such a complex and constantly changing event. If you are looking for a site to host a large, multi-cultural wedding, you have the “A” team at White Oaks Resort!

Wedding during a pandemic and keeping everyone safe
My husband and I have nothing but amazing things to say about White Oaks. It has always been one of my favourite places, and after having my bridal shower and our wedding reception here during the pandemic... they still don't disappoint. With the constant changes of rules during the pandemic, and our goal to keep everyone safe, we changed our wedding venue to White Oaks 3 days before the reception. They pulled everything together seamlessly and so many guest said it was the best wedding they had ever attended. With their covid rules in place, our guests were kept happily and safely outside. We can't thank White Oaks enough!
