I stayed at this Holiday Inn on Tuesday night…read more My room had a mini refrigerator and microwave and coffee station. A continental breakfast was complimentary (from 6:30am to 9:30am) as was parking and WIFI (WIFI was REALLY slow, though). I found my room was cold (it was freezing when I went in the first time) and I couldn't get it warm ... the highest the thermostat went to was 23.5C and it didn't seem that warm. The walls are thin ... I can hear the conversation and laughter from the room next door. There isn't a restaurant in the hotel. There are restaurants nearby but none are close enough (other than the Tim Horton's) that you can walk to them.

I've been to a couple of weddings where the sun was blazing in my eyes and diminished the nuptials just a tad. The main floor of the mansion was open after the wedding ceremony for guests to mingle and wander from room to room. Dinner was held on the second floor with the buffet set up on the landing. The tables were spaced out well so that there was room to move between them.

I may have borrowed this idea from Kelly O., or I may have been strongly encouraged to borrow this…read moreidea from Kelly O, but this review is partially about Country Heritage Park and partially about the wedding I attended there. Country Heritage Park is "an interactive park depicting agriculture and life over the last 150 years." according to their website. It's kind of like Black Creek Pioneer Village only I didn't see anyone around dressed in period clothing. The wedding service and reception were held in what was once a huge barn. Not surprisingly, everything inside is made from either reclaimed wood or local lumber and is gorgeous. There was no insulation so the place was pretty cold during the service. This was quickly solved after ward with arena class space heaters and fans everywhere. We were actually sweating about ten minutes after the heat came on. Now having an open bar may have clouded my judgement but I would easily place the dinner in the top three wedding dinners I've ever had and I've been to a lot of weddings. They served a fairly simple spread but it was delicious and cooked perfectly. Steak, chicken breast, baked potato and skewer of grilled vegetables followed by a banana flan topped with vanilla ice cream. Holy crap there was a lot of food. For the people that didn't get enough dinner a hot dog vendor was hired to show up later that evening. All and all this was a really great wedding and the hall/barn they held it in was a really nice, casual place to hold it. Everyone had a good time as they danced, drank and ate and really I think that's all you can hope for at a wedding. I would be interested in heading back to this place at some point because they have a train museum and some other stuff that I only caught vague mention of. Something about an abandoned gas station and the bridal party playing with someone's dirty hose in the woods. Hmmmm...maybe I'll pass on that part.

As both a bride that 3 years ago almost signed a contract and delivered our deposit to this place…read morefor our own wedding, and as a wedding planner who is currently planning a wedding of another bride who saw this place and fell in love with it for her wedding as well, I am supremely disappointed and unimpressed with the service offered to potential customers. Back 3 years ago, I had similar issues as my current bride does. The events co-ordinator, Darlene I believe, was very bad at returning calls and messages, often waiting more than a week before returning a message of any kind. Also, when I asked if we were permitted to cater the event ourselves instead of being forced to use their list of caterers, I was told I could, only to arrange a deposit and be about to sign the contract when low and behold in their contract it states that we are required to use one of their approved caterers only. When I called Darlene back to ask why we were not told about this, she simply stated that's the way it had always been and that's the way it was going to stay. When I addressed the fact that she had specifically told me otherwise, she accused me of remembering our conversation wrong, and refused to take any responsibility for any part that she played in the major miscommunication. Subsequently, I was so distressed by this that my husband and I decided to completely revamp our wedding plans and stayed away from this venue for fear or further on-the-day miscommunications that would most likely occur. Fast forward 3 years later and the bride that hired me as a wedding planner for her wanted to look at venues that would be cost effective and would give the country/vintage feel to the wedding vision she and her fiance had. They came across this venue and asked me about it, which I agreed to set up a showing for them to see. I had hoped that in 3 years a lot had changed and I didn't tell my bride of my own personal experience with them so as to hopefully avoid her having a bad impression of the place in case things had changed for the better. Turns out it hasn't. While we were lucky enough to catch Darlene on the phone and go out and view the barn once, it was on a day that my bride's fiance was unable to join us and so we made a follow up appointment to come the next Sunday with Darlene in person to see it once more and get all of the needed information packages at that time. When we showed up, after battling toronto traffic to get out there, there was no one to be seen. After calling several times the office number and trying multiple extensions, no one answered. The barn was locked and we had just driven for an hour to get out there for nothing. I left a voice mail for Darlene asking that she call me back and reschedule our viewing. But even an entire week later, and another voice mail, I still have not heard back from her. My bride is crushed and angry that we got stood up and treated this way, and while I wish I could say that this is surprising to me, sadly it is not. BRIDES BEWARE. IF YOU PLAN ON BOOKING THIS PLACE, DON'T EXPECT THAT YOUR BUSINESS IS IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO THEM THAT THEY WILL BE ALWAYS STRIVING TO TREAT THEIR POTENTIAL CLIENTS PROPERLY. You might get lucky and catch them on good days, but then again your risk of being shoved to the side or treated as unimportant is very real. And since two separate experiences have shown me this, I will now be actively steering all future clients of mine and anyone else that I hear of who is considering this place, absolutely clear of it.
