George and his staff made all of my dreams come true! He made the process of planning a wedding stress free and memorable. Our wedding was beautiful and I highly recommend getting married here! Thank you George for everything!

Georg is an absolutely lovely and incredible wedding visionary. You can tell his business is his baby because the passion and attention to detail he puts in to make everything perfect for you is just amazing. He really takes the time to listen to what you envision and if you’re unsure about anything he has so many ideas, recommendations from all his years of experience to help guide you. Honestly, he is like having a wedding planner (but works with you to produce what you envision) to take all the stress off. His family business really encompasses everything and his world class cooking meant the food was this incredible including the stunning cake. Decor and details, including menu are all done by his daughter. A custom ice sculpture, and all the flowers are also all provided!

Really Georg himself is enough for me to highly recommend Guisachan as a wedding venue, but it was actually the location itself which originally caught our eye. It’s truly a hidden gem in Kelowna, with stunning gardens, and a classic vintage heritage building. The whole site is stunning, the gardens beautifully maintained. In addition to all of this, the package is super affordable. If it wasn’t already obvious, I could not recommend Georg and Guisachan enough.

Georg and his team went above and beyond anything we could have ever imagined. The ease of planning and his organization is the best in the business. Venue is stunning and would recommend to anyone wanting to get married with as little hasle as possible while also making your day feel luxurious and 0 stress. All inclusive package for up to 100 guests is so budget friendly and a perfect wedding.

We unfortunately had a very frustrating and disappointing process with the Guisachan house. It all sounded like a stress-free dream, but there were many frustrations we encountered. There were so many details that were not executed well, or were far from what was promised. The greatest frustration was trying to communicate clearly with George, and to try and figure out the mixed messages we were receiving. He was very quick to say yes to everything, but when it came down to delivering, he simply did not, or it was different from what was asked or promised. The Guisachan house does things a very specific way, they don’t necessarily work with you if you’re wanting something more unique and personalized. If you want the details, please find them below:
- The cake did not look like the pictures I submitted and looked very ‘amateur’, my maid of honour had to advocate to take off all the lavender and foliage that was sticking out randomly that did not go with the simplistic modern aesthetic we were wanting. The colour was also completely off and the whole cake looked messy and unprofessional.
- One of the main entree items that we chose during the tasting was replaced with a different entree, which is not what we chose. If there was an issue with the entree chosen and promised, we would have appreciated it being told to us ahead of time, instead of having it come as a surprise, and having it already printed on the menu.
- The vegetables were very undercooked, and the rice and potatoes were not seasoned. Other guests mentioned this as well and said they couldn’t eat it. The salad was swimming in the dressing.
- The flowers also did not align with the colour scheme or even close to the photos and colour swatches that were asked of us and that I took great care in providing. When I saw the bouquet the day before, I told George that I didn’t want any pink flowers and he was able to change my bouquet, but kept the pink flowers for the bridesmaids. The flowers were not fresh, and were discoloured even early in the day.
- We were promised 2 corsages for our mothers, but there were none on the day. It was mentioned we could just pin a boutonniere on their dresses, but pinning a very heavy boutonniere (Which were much too big) on a delicate material dress does not work well.
- They ran out of punch at ‘cocktail hour’, and switched to water. Guests were denied any other kind of drink/beverage during that time, even when offered to pay for it.
- They took down the chairs immediately after the ceremony, but there was no alternative seating for guests before dinner. Many of our guests cannot stand for an extended amount of time.
- During the reception, the dinner music volume was not well managed. It was at times way too loud, and blasting over the speeches. The microphone and sound system was very poor, and most of the guests (especially on the veranda) could not hear the speeches at all. We had around 65 guests.
- My dad prepared a photo slide show, and went to the venue to test it on the house system 2 weeks before the wedding. George did not know how to work the system and his daughter was not available. My dad and groomsmen had to troubleshoot the system, the day before and even on the day of the wedding with little to no help from staff.
- We were promised a power extension cable and an aux cable for the dance music to connect to the house speaker system, but neither were there on the day of and had to be requested again.
- My mom had asked for the empty glass jars in the main corridor (not being used for our wedding) to be removed. She had to ask multiple times for the staff to finally remove them.
- My questions about timelines during the tasting were brushed off and I was told that I didn't have to worry about that, and we couldn’t continue that conversation.

- At the rehearsal, George mentioned that he was glad that he’ll never get an email from my husband again. He wrote only 2 emails, the second one was only sent to follow up, since we didn’t receive a response from the first. The impression we got from George was that he was going to be happy to get our wedding over with and never have to hear from us again.
-We were trying to work with George to provide our guests drink options other than Molson Canadian type beer (I don’t have the space to go into detail about the whole saga here). But we did our research and offered some alternatives that we thought would fit in his pricing model. He ordered them, without informing us, and when we called to follow up on the progress of the request, he then told us that they were already ordered but they will charged at a higher price. We had requested (months earlier) that he inform us of any price changes before ordering.
- I will say that the garden is very well maintained and beautiful and it is a beautiful venue for pictures.

We had our 100 person wedding at this venue (not suitable for more than 150 people). It was all around amazing venue. The beautiful garden, fantastic staff, and delicious food. We were guided throughout the planning process by the amazing Georg. If you're not much of a planner, this place is definitely for you as most of what you need for the wedding is included at this venue. Brilliant!

Full meal deal. Georg takes care of every detail and makes sure the wedding day runs smoothly with no issues for the couple. Accommodates and makes dreams come to life. The planning process was fun and stress free. Food was phenomenal. Can't praise the bread and pies enough. Gorgeous gardens as a background to an amazing day. Highly recommend Georg and his Guisachan House team!
