Fantasy Wedding

We are so glad that we chose the Black Creek Pioneer Village as our wedding venue, the location is absolutely beautiful and expansive. The staff were really friendly, and flexible (they were willing to accommodate most of our requests). We received explicit comments from our guests about how friendly the waitstaff and bar staff were. And the food was absolutely delicious!

Fantastic Experience

Very professional - they were willing to accommodate virtually all of our requests, given that this was a Covid wedding. The venue was wonderful the food was excellent. The staff is very knowledgeable and supper friendly . Given all the restrictions during Covid all the plans came together and the wedding was spectacular.

Rocky start - beautiful day of

We had our ceremony at the Town Hall outside and the reception in the pavilion. We really loved the outdoor vibe that the venue had to offer and my husbands family has family ties to some of buildings in the village so it was a no brainer when selecting our venue. When we first reached out to have a tour of the space we were told to visit during the visiting hours and buy an admission tickets... we did and the next day told them we wanted to book it as a venue. It started off really great with the co-ordinator (who was new). About 4 months before the wedding we were informed that she was leaving for another job and got connected to another person from Black Creek who didn't specialize in wedding events, she was on the sales side. This is when it started going downhill. All of a sudden things that had been agreed upon with the first women weren't true or they cost WAY more (the price went from $150 to $800 for something). They missed the scheduled meeting 28 days before the wedding to finalize all the details. I started feeling very un-easy at this point because they still didn't have a day of contact for all of my vendors - and they never did - the day before the wedding I was still asking and they still couldn't tell me.
I will say that in the end the day of the wedding was perfect and things ran smoothly. There was just an unnecessary amount of stress before the wedding and we really felt like we weren't valued clients.

The location is beautiful, the staff is friendly and helpful, the food is delicious!
The package includes everything you need, and so many add-on options. Guests automatically get free access to the Village on your wedding day - a lovely bonus!
So wonderful!

The Perfect Night!

My husband and I were SO happy with our decision to go with Black Creek Pioneer Village for our November wedding. The planning process was very thorough, and the day went through without a hitch! I was beyond impressed by the team and their attentiveness. From start to finish, they day went perfectly. Pankit, our event coordinator, helped us every step of the way. Although there were sometimes issues with getting emails back early in the planning process, once the day arrived, the whole team really stepped up.

We had our ceremony in the pavillion, which was a little risky in November, but the space was beautiful, and they provided space heaters to keep our guests comfortable. The Victoria Room for the cocktail hour was perfect, and they Canada West Room was more beautiful than we could have imagined. The cherry on top was the outdoor space, complete with a fire pit, heaters, string lights and tables. Our guests absolutely loved it. I could go on and on about how great the experience was, and I cannot recommend them enough!

One of a kind venue

The venue is beautiful and very accessible. It offers a little taste of country in the city. Our guests remarked on how they would have never known they were in the city. The historic buildings and surrounding foliage allowed for stunning photos. The food was amazing and the service staff were very friendly and attentive setting up and during. It was a windy day and they made sure things were secured in place.

We had to postpone our wedding because of COVID and the company was extremely flexible. However, halfway through the planning, our very attentive and experienced coordinator was replaced with someone who answered our questions but had much less experience as her predecessor. There were a handful of dropped threads including mistaking the day our wedding drapes were to arrive (so we didn’t have them day of). She was really not a clear communicator and was not answering texts the night of. As a result we didn’t feel 100% confident what we had agreed on would become a reality. However, she was very helpful when it came to our last minute addition of 2 guests, which we had forgotten about. Beautiful venue. Kind staff. But make sure to check out the coordinator you are assigned. Overall our day was better than we could have hoped for, with the difficulties melting away in the background for the most part as the night came to a close.

Beautiful venue, less than beautiful service

While our wedding this past August was a success thanks so a sunny day and a beautiful venue, I was disappointed overall with my experience with the vendor. Communication was extremely frustrating leading up to the date, we were routinely misinformed on what they could make happen for us. For instance, we learned 48 hours before the wedding that a system we'd agreed on for using our own plates would not work (we eventually came to a compromise), and that guests would need to be masked if they wanted to dance. While I completely appreciate things were challenging with COVID, I'd have to wait as long as 2 weeks for a response from them in the weeks leading up to our day which I feel shouldn't be their service standard. On the day itself, on staff member was quite rude with my parents when we were faced with some logistical problems (the microphone did not reach the podium). I was told myself and my bridal party would be set up in a suite in the minutes before the ceremony, instead we were forgotten and left to stand dehydrated in the heat behind a shed while guests arrived. I would definitely say the food was disappointing overall. The 'sparkling toast' is less than an ounce of the cheapest sparkling wine on the market poured 30 minutes before anyone sits down so it's warm and disgusting. Further, they mixed up our order on appetizers (which ended up being covered in insects and quite unappetizing since they were left out on the tables for awhile), and served salad without any dressing or cheese (and gave nuts to some guests with allergies). Dinner service ended up being an hour behind schedule meaning our band had to play longer and no one ended up eating their dessert. Guests were also told not to stand on the gravel walkway with their drinks resulting in crowding under the pavillion, we were told folks would be free to walk around the green. The fire we paid for was supposed to be set up with benches, but those didn't come either and as a result no one visited it. Finally, we were never warned that if we did not mic up our ceremony nobody would hear our vows, so nobody heard our vows. I have been trying to contact the venue for almost a month now share these perspectives and have not had my call returned, so have decided to share them here.
