A dream come true!
My husband and I are so happy that we choose Whistle Bear to be our wedding venue. We fell in love with the beauty of it, from the moment we stepped into the lobby we were in awe! Each room is gorgeous and so are the grounds. We choose to have a winter wedding (January 25th 2020) and from the moment we started planning with Nikki we knew we were in good hands! Even though they see so many other couples, Nikki always made us feel important, didn't rush any of our meetings and we were truly excited to see her each time we met. She really listened to what we wanted and made sure that our vision came to life! She is beyond patient and would respond quickly to my emails. She felt like a friend by the end of it. Melinda was with us the day of the wedding and she made sure that there wasn't any hiccups and that things were smooth sailing! Her and Katie were a great team which we can't thank them enough.

Our guests continuously raved about the beauty of the venue, the food and the hospitality and service! I would without a doubt recommend any future bride to look at Whistle Bear as venue. I'm hoping down the road that we get to come back as a guest for a friends wedding so that we can experience Whistle Bear all over again.

Dream Venue
Our wedding at Whistle Bear in the outdoor chapel and Rose Room was a great experience beginning to end. They are a professional, experienced team that will help you each step of the way. Our consultations with Raylene and Leah were fabulous, and they are able to answer every question we had. Additionally, they also asked us questions about our day we hadn’t even considered.

There is a huge benefit to their all-in-one approach, with ceremony venue, officiant, reception venue, photo location, day-of coordinator, and catering (among other options we didn’t opt into such as DJ services) all included. This took a huge stress off of planning overall, as we knew we were in good hands with all these aspects of the wedding covered by Whistle Bear. Every detail has been thought of - they even have personalized signs by the lobby front door to let your guests know when the shuttle bus will be arriving, if you are choosing to hire one.
While there are 3 weddings that can be hosted at the venue simultaneously, we never felt that we were sharing the space, or intruding on/being intrusive to another wedding. They have everything down to a fine art, and their long list of experience is evident.
Our day-of coordinator Mikayla was also wonderful. She helped us through our rehearsal 2 days before, and saw to everything we had mentioned and more on our wedding day. Things were taken care of without so much as a reminder. She was friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout everything. Signage and flowers were moved from the ceremony to reception seamlessly, and she even helped us fix the groom’s broken boutonniere right before we were set to walk down the aisle.
The grounds and facilities are beautifully kept, making for great pictures. The food and the menu tasting were both perfect, and if there are any unique requests or dietary restrictions, they are flexible in accommodating those specifications. With the amazing foundation they have set, you are able to add as little or as much additional touches and personalized aspects, and have your wedding be just as beautiful either way.
I would recommend booking Whistle Bear for your wedding a million times over. We had a truly amazing experience there, and are so happy we booked with them.

Wedding of our dreams
I came across Whistle Bear while I was looking at pearle weddings venues! When i saw the pictures i was in awe, surprisingly the pictures doesn't do this beautiful venue justice. As soon was i drove int the golf course i knew this was the one! It is the most incredible golf course we've ever been to. Trust me I scoured many golf courses in the GTA! This is the best one we've encountered! this place is modern yet has a rustic vibe! Perfect wedding venue! It's away from the city, which makes you feel like you are in another world.

This was 4 months to my wedding and I still hadn't secured a wedding venue! You can only imagine how stressed I was! One day I just decided to visit Whistle Bear on my day off and met with Nikki Northern, I didn't have an appointment, I literally walked in and she was so warm and so kind to show me around! While going over our wedding date with her, she mentioned that they may not be able to book us the room I want for my reception is the back up ceremony space and that there is already a wedding booked for that day! I emailed her right away saying that this is my dream wedding venue and I don't see myself getting married anywhere else! She made it happen for us! From that day I knew we were in good hands! Nikki and the team are so friendly and so welcoming, their professionalism, promptness and flexibility is unparallel! We knew this from our initial meeting! The team is so understanding! i wanted an Indian influence in the food being served to my guests and the chef was amazing and he came up with a custom menu for us. The food was just incredible from the appetizer to dessert!!! OMG it was delicioussss!!
Prior to our wedding we had two meetings with Nikki and Leah to iron out our details which was awesome! On the day of my wedding, I arrived at the venue 1/2 hour late, yet there were no issues. My priest arrived 1 hour late which delayed all our events by an hour yet there were no hesitation from the staff! they accommodated us! made sure everything went seamlessly, They even let us take pictures at the chapel even though we were passed our time and the next wedding was going to start soon after! We ended up staying 1 hour later than expected yet we had no one complaining!We really wanted our dogs to be a part of our wedding as they play such an important role in ur lives! And they made it happen, they had absolutely no issues with them being their! It made our day that much more special, knowing EVERYONE we loved was there! Thats the type of service you can expect from whistle bear, excellence.
If you are looking for the most incredible wedding venue, with the most amazing staff and a stress free wedding, then look no further! Whistle Bear Golf Course is it! It's truly a GEM!
I want to thank Nikki and the team from the bottom of our heart for making our dream wedding come true!! we couldn't have done it without you!

Best Venue for a summer wedding
The Whistlebear venue was the first venue that my wife and I looked at. We immediately fell in love with the venue. We did out due diligence and looked at about 15 venues afterwards. However, nothing compared to Whistlebear and we booked the Rose Room at the venue. Leah was our sales consultant and we worked with her to plan everything out. She was super professional, very responsive, and helped to ensure that everything was ready before the big day. Hailey was our coordinator on the big day and she made sure to ensure that everything ran smoothly. There were no hiccups on the day because of all of the work completed by Hailey, Leah, and the rest of the Whistlebear staff. All of our guests loved the Whistlebear venue. We had a great wedding at the outdoor venue. Everyone loved looking out over the rolling golf hills while enjoying the delicious appetizers. The property was gorgeous and we captured a lot of great photos. The salad, dinner, dessert and the mid night buffet were delicious! The bar service and dance were spectacular and everyone loved hanging out on the outdoor patio. My wife, our guests, and myself were so happy with the Whistlebear venue and all of the staff there.

Best wedding experience
We cannot say enough good things about our wedding at Whistle Bear. It was absolutely amazing!

Right from the planning process everyone at Whistle Bear, especially Nikki Northern, was so helpful. She was so patient and was quick to respond to the million e-mails I sent her. She made the planning experience so enjoyable and not at all stressful. Whistle Bear truly has this down to an art and there is nothing that they don't think of! Nikki was so helpful in managing a few special requests that we had, we can't thank her enough.
The venue is absolutely gorgeous. We had our ceremony in the Garden Chapel - everyone could not get over how beautiful it was! It was a very hot day out so unfortunately we couldn't have the roof retracted, but it was perfect none the less. The water for guests was much appreciated!
Our wedding was in the Forestview Room. It is such a beautiful room that you definitely don't need much for decor to make it stunning. The outdoor terrace was awesome for our cocktail hour and many people hung out there throughout the night.
Our maitre d' and concierge Melinda & Katie were absolutely fantastic. I can't imagine our day without them. They were so on top of everything and kept the day absolutely stress free for me. They accommodated any request we had and were so fun to be with throughout the whole day. I worried about not hiring a wedding planner but you definitely do not need one if you get married here.
The food was absolutely amazing. Everyone could not stop raving about how awesome it was, especially the compressed watermelon salad and the prime rib.
The bartenders were fantastic and were quick to get me and my groom our drinks as soon as we started walking over.
Overall me, my husband, and all our guests were extremely pleased with the service that Whistle Bear provided and we would highly recommend to any future couples!
