    Great food & grounds, but very disappointing service!

    The scenery/grounds are beautiful, and Chef Raj's food is absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, everything else was a bust. Original coordinators Alessia and Grace suddenly disappeared at the end of July, leaving the new coordinator May with an empty file and none of our details a month before our wedding. The new coordinator May had good intentions but ultimately did not deliver on the quality of service we expected. On the day of, service of waitstaff was awful - inexperienced waitstaff misled our guests to think we had a mini bar instead of the open bar, didn't know how to serve basic drinks, and then butchered our wedding cake into tiny squares of frosting or cake. Tried addressing our concerns and asked for some sort of compensation, at least for the open bar, but they refused to take any responsibility and blamed it on our planners. Disrespectful and unprofessional! I would not recommend until a complete staff update.

    Wonderful service from start to end

    We really enjoyed hosting our wedding at Oakview Terrace. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous in the summer and many of our guests had lots of compliments about the grounds. We mainly picked OT for the adorable chapel where we got married. It's so picturesque and beautiful! We did appreciate the affordability of the catering as well. Definitely better priced than some other venues which gouge you for all of your cash. They were flexible in making sure we were able to afford our package. Sylvia was wonderful from start to end. She was attentive to every detail and made us feel secure that we weren't going to get scammed into paying surprise fees either. Overall, we loved having our wedding at this venue. Thank you, Oakview Terrace!

    Beautiful Ceremony and Reception Venue

    Set in a remote part of Richmond Hill, overlooking a big pond. This place is not very well known to many. There's a beautiful well maintained garden and the Chapel is right next to the reception hall. Food was not mindblowing but it was quite good, especially the Hors d'Oeuvres. Dining hall was not very big but easily accommodated 125 guests. Our contact, Sylvia, also coordinated many of the items during wedding day to make sure things went smoothly. They recently had a make-over and also includes Chiavari Chairs. Overall, a great venue and offers the option to have both Ceremony and Reception at the same place. Would definitely recommend!

    A Lovely Memory

    Oakview terrace was absolutely amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better team to help me with my wedding and make my dream come true. They always responded within in a reasonable time and were very attentive to detail. The space is so beautiful and classy and elevated my wedding. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you so very much for everything!

    Oakview Terrace Reception Centre's reply:

    Best,
    Oakview Terrace Team

    TreeBark Cinematography was a real pleasure to work with. Eric as a lead videographer for our big day, is very eager to set up meeting and provide ideas to us. Also he responded email very promptly. I am very impressed by his attention to details and artistic sense. He is able to capture all the romantic and special moment on our big day. His wonderful personality makes us very comfortable in front of the camera and be ourself. I am a perfectionist, feeling very thankful to Eric's hard work. The highlight video is like a movie, romantic and natural. We are grateful to have Eric on our special big day. Definitely will recommend his services to others! Thank you very much Eric and your team!

    I did recommend this venue, NEVER again!

    New owners need to step up their game. The grounds were left to grow over with weeds, not ideal for photos! Dinner service, very slow, unorganized - if you order a vegetarian meal, be prepared to eat alone. This meal was served first at the table and was a good 15-20 minutes before the rest of the table was served - this was for all courses! Service is unprofessional - plates were removed from the table before guest were finished. They didn’t even ask if you were done. Served coffee by picking up your cup with their hand over the cup and all fingers around the brim. I don’t want to drink where your fingers have been! Very unorganized while serving dinner - at times there were 8 serve staff buzzing around the table and an average of 3 people handled your plate in front of your before it was placed. If felt like “dinner and a show” - a comedy horror!

    Everything we could have hoped for! Perfect ceremony!

    We just had our wedding ceremony last week. Before we planned to have our ceremony and reception on the same day. However, due to covid restrictions, we decided to only have the ceremony this year and have the reception next year to accommodate more guests. Our venue coordinators, Grace and Alessia, were very accommodating and allowed us to make the final decision only two weeks before our wedding date. Then, 5 days before the wedding, the government opened up the restrictions so we could have 50ppl for the ceremony instead of 10ppl. Oakview allowed us to make last minute changes to our guest list and ceremony setup to accommodate 50ppl so we could have the ceremony that we wanted.

    Throughout the planning process, they made sure to constantly update us on government restrictions and provided us with alternative options from what they were allowed to provide. Both of them were very quick to respond to our emails and many questions that we had during our wedding planning process. On the day of the wedding, both Grace and Alessia were there to help out and make sure everything we asked for was setup according to plan. The ceremony couldn’t have been more perfect we really look forward to having the reception there next year!

    Beautiful venue for intimate wedding ceremony

    Beautiful location and wedding chapel -- we loved it and our guests loved it too! Sylvia responded quickly to our emails and was very kind and helpful in guiding us through our wedding ceremony. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a venue that can host 100-150 people, is sheltered but feels almost like outdoors, and has that rustic feel.
