From the moment we got to the venue for the ceremony, to cocktail hour, reception and the FOOD!! AMAZING. It was honestly the perfect day.. still in aw. We didn't have one complaint, and everyone is still talking about our wedding to this day. Thank you so much for everything your staff did for us!

The hack angels recovery expert

CONTACT THE HACK ANGELS RECOVERY EXPERT TO RECOVER ALL YOUR LOST CRYPTO // BTC // USDT ASSETS

The crypto market is very volatile and a lot of individuals have lost some of their crypto coins and crypto assets to these online scams. I just want the whole world to know about this expert hacker called THE HACK ANGELS RECOVERY EXPERT. I was going through online searching for help to recover my stolen funds. That's when I meant this wonderful man’s testimony online on how THE HACK ANGELS RECOVERY EXPERT helped him to recover his stolen funds back. I lost $637,000 worth of USDT. I thought all hope was lost from the experience of losing my hard-earned money to scammers. I was devastated and believed there was no way to recover my funds. I’m so glad I came across them early because I thought I was never going to get my funds back from those scammers. This company is legitimate, and I am a living testimony. When I was about to lose everything they fought for me, and I am forever grateful. I highly recommend their recovery services, they are reliable and a trusted company to any individuals looking to recover lost funds. Contact

Dream Wedding!

My new husband and I, along with our family and friends, were blown away by the quality of service the WB staff provided. I was surprised to see how many people on the WB team were helping out the day of, which made everything run so smoothly from start to finish. There were no hiccups, and everyone was amazed by the beauty of the venue as well as the food served! So many options, even for the guests with dietary restrictions. There were special touches too, like a bottle of champagne in the bridal suite and a gorgeous set of engraved steak knives. They even got us "to-go" cocktails and appetizers during the transition from ceremony to couple photos on the property. We have to give a special shout-out to Genevieve, our maitre D - she hustled hard all day long and all while wearing a big smile on her face. Thank you so much, Gen!!! We also liked how we were able to set up our decor the day before, since there was no event that day, which saved us a lot of time. Our package came with an officiant, Ian, which was very convenient for us - he was lovely. The staff helped us pack everything up in the last half hour, around 1:00 am, which was so kind and helpful. I ultimately chose this place (without ever visiting, since I was in another province!) for the garden chapel and it exceeded my expectations... It truly is such a beautiful space to get married. Also a big thank you to Sabrina who coordinated and planned our big day for us. Many of our guests said it was the best wedding they've been to, and I'd have to agree!! I HIGHLY recommend brides and grooms to choose this venue - you'll be so glad you did! Thank you so much, Whistle Bear!

Amazing place for weddings


I recently had my wedding at Whistle Bear, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, everything was handled with the utmost professionalism and care.

The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful decor and a wonderful ambiance that made our special day even more magical. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, and their attention to detail did not go unnoticed.

A special thanks to Melinda and Riley, who were absolutely fantastic. Melinda was incredibly organized and attentive, making sure all our needs were met and that the day ran smoothly. Riley's expertise and calm demeanor helped put us at ease and truly made the day stress-free.

Whistle Bear truly blew us away!!!

We just wanted to take the time to thank everyone who took part in orchestrating what is undoubtedly the very best day of our lives so far. I had very high expectations for this celebration and could not be happier with how everything turned out. The Whistle Bear experience truly blew us away. My every expectation was exceeded, and the day could not have been more perfect. Our guests are still raving about our venue and planning, the incredible food and signature drinks, and all the hard work Whistle Bear staff did to make this day a picture-perfect one.

I particularly want to thank all the serving staff who served tables professionally, in a timely manner and paying particular attention to food restrictions, as well as the personable bar staff, and anyone else who was there on our wedding day helping everything unfold so seamlessly. A huge thank you to Riley, our assigned wedding day concierge, who made sure our every request was answered, and for her extremely professional approach. As a bride, she made me feel so comfortable and heard, she was absolutely lovely towards us and our families.

Massive thank you to Leanne for taking us through the planning process, taking my every vision and request in stride, and making my beautiful cocktail wall dreams come true. Leanne took my many phone calls and always knew how to ease my mind when things seemed stressful! She is excellent at what she does, and any upcoming couple would be luck to work with her.

We give Whistle Bear 5 stars for the stunning setting they offer, the incredible quality of their food and drinks, the wonderful staff they provide, and the personalized approach they took to ensuring our wedding day felt unique, picture perfect and a reflection of us as a couple. THANK YOU!

The most stunning venue!

Where do we even start! Whistle Bear completely blew us away. From our first experience to our last the staff continually went above and beyond for us and we can’t thank them enough. Our special events consultant Leanne was absolutely amazing she was always willing to answer our questions and made sure everything we wanted was included in our day! The menu tasting was absolutely amazing we brought our parents with us and they were blown away by everything. On the day of our rehearsal we met Riley and Ryan and these two ladies completely blew us away. They both went above and beyond to make sure our day went off without a hitch and catered to our every need. We can’t thank both girls enough you were truly amazing we love you both so much! Our guests had such an amazing time and raved about the grounds, the venue and the food and drinks! Whistle Bear is a top notch venue and you will never be disappoint having your wedding here. Thank you all for making our day so amazing it was a dream!

Amazing venue

We had our wedding last week at Whistle Bear and it was beyond perfection! Honestly couldn’t have asked for more. The staff went above and beyond our expectations to helping package cupcakes for our guests to accommodating each of our dietary restrictions even if it was a last minute addition. Based on our guests review the food was so delicious and there were so many options for appetizers and drinks during cocktail hour. If you weren’t careful you may not have had room for your entree which was huge in comparison to other weddings I have been to. Such a fun night and everyone was well fed! Thank you so much for the team at Whistle Bear for making our day so memorable for many years to come!

Outstanding!

Our entire experience at Whistle Bear and with the Pearle team was nothing short or exceptional. From our first tour at the venue to the day after our wedding, we were very well taken care of by extremely attentive staff. Not a single thing was missed and the staff was on top of each aspect of the day. Every question or concern we had was easily and promptly answered leading up to and on our wedding day.

Whistle Bear itself is also such a beautiful venue and our event flowed perfectly from the Garden Chapel into the Rose Room. It was also lovely to be able to use the golf course grounds for our photos.

I would very highly recommend the Pearle team and Whistle Bear venue for your wedding!
