Amazing venue

The venue was stunning.
The large pavilion is a perfect spot to get hold the ceremony with the second one a convenient and perfect place to hold the cocktail hour.
The reception area is very nice with the vineyard as a beautiful backdrop.

Heritage Estate Wedding

We just had our wedding here on July 2, 2023 and I can't even begin to explain how amazing this venue is and the people who work there. From the very beginning they were so fun to work with and really don't limit you at all in your wedding dreams, anything you want they will make happen. They made the process so fun and answered every question I had (which was a lot). The day itself was flawless, the amenities are amazing, the food is phenomenal, the space/grounds are gorgeous and the staff are beyond wonderful!! If you're looking for the most perfect venue, look not further!

We're so glad we picked this venue!

We had our wedding at the Heritage Estate in September 2022 and it was absolutely perfect! The grounds are beautiful, and the glass venue is very unique with the winery view. The food was perfect, and the wine was delicious. Aside from the fast that the day was perfect we wanted to thank the staff who worked that night. The customer service is excellent, very organized and met all our requests. They also packed everything up at the end of the night for us and the late-night food was also soo delicious. We're so glad we picked this venue!

A fantastic outdoor wedding venue

A fantastic outdoor wedding venue. A great find, about 55min North of Toronto. They actually grow their own grapes there. Had a wine tasting with charcuterie board. All reasonably priced. Worth the drive and a nice change from Niagara region.

Horrible experience

I wanted this venue even though it was way out of our budget, the add ons was insane, you have to pay extra for sound, the Mic was bad , they don’t give access to the venue till 11am, we got there at 11am and guess what the venue was not set up, after they promised that the reason access is given at 11am is because they want us to have the venue when it was already set up, we had to help them set up because we were running behind schedule. You have to pay additional fee to get a floor wrap installed by an outside vendor or you use theirs which was 4x the price, the initial agreement was to have the venue till 1am I mean the reception glass tenth, @ 11:48pm they kicked us out, and we had our wedding on a Monday, they took our cake plate and cutleries, the honeymoon suite upstairs had no curtains, it was full of mosquitoes, took some of the table center pieces, I had to pay the decor lady for her missing center pieces, we called them to ask for our cake plate and cake knifes and cutleries, they said they couldn’t find it, one month later they called that they found the plate, but didn’t find the cutleries which is weird funny because the cutleries was on the plate when they kicked us out, the cutleries meant a lot to us as it was custom made with our initials and last name on it. Till this day they have not replied us or given us our missing items, the customer service is horrible, overpriced and it isn’t worth it.

Best Wedding Venue!

We had our wedding recently at HEW and we could not have asked for a more perfect venue. The staff at HEW truly made our day so special! The venue it self is FANTASTIC, with so many different areas for guests to mingle, it was awesome. Our guests loved going to the top of the hill and taking sunset photos. The glass tent is perfect for reception as it comes with A/C but you don't lose the view. Samir our event manager made the entire process a breeze, we couldn't have asked for anything more! Some of the special things to note: after our ceremony, they had a special plate of the cocktail food and a bottle of wine waiting for us at the air b and b (soooo sweet and thoughtful). The air b and b on site is really clean and spacious! We loved being able to stay on site. We also got a complimentary wine tour prior to the wedding which was so fun!

The food was delicious (we got the chicken and egg plant parmesan). The eggplant parmesan was insanely delicious!! We cannot begin to recommend this venue enough, we couldn't have asked for a better day!

There is only one negative feedback: the sound system is booked through a third party (SolePower)........ We had to deal with Matt Roy, who was absolutely a nightmare. He kept going back and forth on our contract, up to 20 DAYS before our wedding. The biggest stress from the whole process came from dealing with Matt. We had to constantly get HEW involved when dealing with him. HEW came through and solved all of our problems and we are forever grateful.

Again, we cannot recommend this venue enough, the cocktail hour (10/10, food and drinks), the reception area (10/10 clean, great food) and the grounds are just so beautiful. Thank you for making our day so special :)

Great venue for weddings & vendors!

I had the opportunity to work at a wedding here in the past few months and I have to say, even I was impressed as the DJ. Full high-quality Sound system and lighting package, excellent catering and a beautiful venue all around. Looking forward to coming back here.

A Beautiful Venue with Outstanding Service

We booked our wedding at Heritage Estate, before the event space was even built - but we felt very confident in the team and their vision for the property, so we went ahead and put our trust in them to deliver what they said they would. They ended up surpassing our expectations - creating a breathtaking space which was accompanied by incredibly delicious food and a wonderful staff. A BIG shoutout to Wally from Heritage Estate! He was there bright and early getting things ready for the day and stayed all day and most of the night, available to help out however he could - anticipating the needs of the bridal party and accommodating us and our guests at every opportunity. We really appreciated his dedication to helping us have the best day ever. We can't say enough great things about Wally and about Heritage Estate - we highly recommend you book your wedding or next event at this amazing place. We wish we could go back and live it all again!!

This winery is truly fantastic!

This winery is truly fantastic! We had our wedding August 2022 at this venue. They offered a beautiful view of the Vineyard for the ceremony, a large glass venue with gorgeous view. Phenomenal wines served at our wedding became a truly magical day for us! Thanks again!
