In our contract it states we can do so as long as it is six months before the scheduled date. Danny told us we could not reschedule for 2021 because he was selling his farm, later on Facebook we saw a post advertising that people call to schedule for 2021 weddings. Danny told us If COVID prevented us from being allowed to have our wedding he would refund us some of our $4,000 deposit. As we thought, we were unable to have our wedding and Danny refused to pay back any of our deposit. Be very careful if you are planning to have your wedding or hold an event here.

Best experience ever while working with a vendor! I had booked their services for a banquet…read more Staff: Brian and Shariq were so amazing and friendly. They offered suggestions of poses to guests and were cheerful and upbeat. They were promptly on time. I was quite busy all night, so it was nice to be able to just rely on them to be able to do their own thing without much supervision. Communication was excellent throughout the whole process as well. Photo booth: Plenty of props to choose from. They offered different options in terms of layout and photos. They also help design a custom design for your photos so that was super cool. Also great that I was able to get a digital copy after the event of all the photos! Overall, the best experience with them and I would highly recommend them to anyone!

We had Take My Photo set up a photobooth at our Christmas party this year. This was SO MUCH fun!…read more Rather than your regular photobooth where everyone rams in, with Take My Photo they actually set up a black back-drop and had a larger area so you could squeeze way more people into the photos. There were two attendants manning the booths and they ensure everyone is seated properly and good to go. The lighting is set up nice too - everyone looks great in the photos! Take My Photo had the largest selection of props - a whole table of hats, masks, fake mustaches, blow up guitars, stuffed toys, etc etc. The possibilities were endless. Staff was very friendly. Photos get posted on facebook and they were up FAST (party was on a Saturday night and the photos were already up by noon on Sunday!)

My friends and I have been using these cottages/cabins as accommodation in Wasaga Beach for years…read more The perks: - biggest cottage sleeps up to 16 people - cheap - can rent it for just a weekend - not strict about noise - 2 minute walk to the beach/bars - full of people in their 20's - each cabin comes with a bbq - parking is included - bigger cottages come with a fully stocked kitchen (including a stove) - bathroom and shower in the bigger cottages, plus extra facilities on site The booking process is sketchy. After verbally confirming over the telephone with someone that they will reserve a cottage/cabin for you, you have to go to TD bank and put the deposit (in cash) into their account. You then write to their email address to confirm you put the deposit in their account. Once you get there and pay (cash), everyone is given a bracelet they have to wear for the duration of their stay. Extra people cost extra money. Check out is a bit early (10am I believe?) but you can often leave your car their for the day after you've checked out. If you're looking for somewhere to stay with a group of friends in Wasaga Beach, this is a great option.

I didn't do enough research myself and brought more stuff than required. The only real stuff u need would be food and drinks (booze) and also if u want cream in your coffee. Everything else u need to provided. My brother was super psyched because fire starters, kindling and tons of wood is available. U can start the fire outside or inside. They have 4 chairs provided outside but I brought my own as well. Everything else u can research. Such as the sauna or horseback riding. Would be 5 stars if there were more options on stuff to do or eat. But overall it's a wonderful experience and would recommend for sure.

Purple Hill Lavender Farm is about 1.5 hours from Toronto, and just 5 minutes outside the Village…read moreof Creemore. The lavender fields are beautiful, and the lavender scent greets you as soon as you step out of your car. Note that lavender picking is not allowed or available on this farm. You can book tickets online for field visits, professional photography sessions, or a 2-hour luxury picnic. Alternatively, if your visit was spontaneous like mine, you can pay for your field admission in person ($15 per person, free for children under 5). There is a sufficient field parking right by the farm entrance which is included with your admission. The farm also has a small gift shop offering homemade lavender-infused items and dried lavender products. I visited the farm around 3:30 PM on a Saturday in early August and found the fields uncrowded, which was great for taking photos. This farm is a pleasant stop if you're in the area. However, the drive may not be worth it if you're coming just for the farm alone, especially if the lavender season is nearing its end, as not all areas of the field are in full bloom. Other than take photos, and maybe sit for a picnic or read a book there's not much else to do here.

After that you are instructed to start on the easiest courses and work your way through. What is not disclosed is that you have to sign an additional waiver when your inside (aside from the one on arrival). The odd thing is that it is just a notebook and the student employees just ask you did you do all the other courses before attempt the most advanced course. It's pretty loosey goosey, instead of this system a stamp system should be used or a passport system because if they are using this for liability is a signature request under duress (is what I understand from my legal eagle knowledge). Considering the risk, I would say more needs to be done. The whole course are supervised and the summer hired students are trained to radio each other when a new person is going on the course. The two customer limit on platform are loosely reinforced. I did find that some of the platforms were short on the landing for the mini zipline sections. And on the course the student hires warned us it's slippery because it was wet. Perhaps add some slip grips just because you're flying in at high speed into the landing in some cases (especially when you're pretty large). Good things is that if you wanted the zipline experience you get it through the whole course. You can get away with just paying for the whole course. If you're a parent you may want to go in and just have a look how things are run before putting your kids through the track for the peace of mind. The other thing is that you also want to have a telephoto lens on your slr if you're watching from the ground or hookup your child with a go pro for the fun of watching later. Overall difficulty was intermediate. I think to level up try the course without holding on anything. This was my first time doing this. I would have preferred more physical challenges on the course. There are washrooms behind the sign in cabin. Two toilets in the female. But if you want cleaner go back to the resort. So I rated this four star for the following reason. 1. Price point is steep on a single visit, even with coupons. Season pass may be better; 2. The course liability on-site could be better, I just wonder what happened if there was an accident and if the location did enough to protect customers; 3. The course is full of student employees, surely trained well. But considering young kids on the course a few adult staff would make it feel safer. There were times when I know none if the staff we watching me because I was sloppy on the security straps-without realizing until my date warned me (thanks); 4. Washrooms are not clean on the premise of the trekking. Go to horseshoe resort.
