Ben and Cassie's wedding in Huntsville, Ontario

The story of our wedding

Our wedding day was the perfect day we could have asked for. We held our wedding at Hillside Farm in Huntsville, ON and it was the perfect venue for our country rustic wedding that we were looking for. We had our ceremony outside and reception inside the barn. We had the whole property for 3 days to set up the wedding and tear down on the 3rd day. That is a luxury that a lot of venues don’t offer! The farm had lots of space for our guests to move around and play games outside, have a campfire with s’mores (our party favours) and just enjoy the beautiful grounds. Our officiant was Evelyn Cocker from ‘i do ceremonies’ and she was fabulous! Our photographer was Kyle Harriss from Harriss Photography and he was fun, friendly and great to work with- he had lots of ideas for pictures which was super helpful! The Hillside Farm owners, Joan and John, were also great to work with being super accommodating and super friendly! My hair, makeup and food vendors came from Guelph, ON and they are close friends of mine from previous work. It was nice to have personal touches and it makes the day all that more special. The farm held 100-110 people at a sit down dinner setting which was exactly what we needed. All of our guests loved the venue and how everything was set up! We wouldn’t change a thing :). We decided on beer, wine and coolers for an open bar with offerings of pop, water and juice for the non-alcoholic drinkers in the room. We also offered a bus shuttle service from the farm to the hotel by Campbell bus lines so our guests didn’t have to worry about driving 🍷and could let loose and have fun! Our late-night snack was a popcorn bar with all kinds of candy toppings and popcorn flavour toppings. It was so fun! We decorated popcorn bags and said things like “thanks for poppin by” etc. We also ordered popcorn from Kernals so we had a variety of popcorn. I do need to thank WeddingWire for this app because, without it, I would have probably missed a lot of things being my first wedding I have ever planned. The timeline, checklist, guest RSVP’s were so helpful!! I will definitely recommend WeddingWire to all of my friends and family in the near future getting married! 🙂
