The Ceremony
Four ceremony locations cascade in priority — you choose the primary, we align the rest. No tent scramble the morning of. No 6am weather calls. The plan is already beautiful at every tier.
Ideal weather — the reason couples drive from Toronto
Sunlight through ancient oaks, wild ferns underfoot, birdsong instead of music. An outdoor ceremony you can only get on forty private acres.
Light rain or shade needed
Open-sided and covered, strung with lights, built from timber milled on the property. Holds a ceremony and a reception. Looks better in overcast light.
Indoor — shoulder season or heavy weather
Floor-to-ceiling glass, forest views from inside. Intimate and luminous. Where Micro Wedding dinners move on cold or rainy evenings.
Full indoor fallback — rarely needed
High ceilings, warm light, and a fireplace. The original farmhouse has hosted ceremonies, dinners, and dances. A beautiful last resort.
Ontario weather is unpredictable. This cascade means you never have to choose between the forest setting you love and a plan that works.
Forty private acres. Ten minutes from London.

The Elopement is all-in for just the couple — $3,800 weekend, $3,200 weekday. Guests are welcome for the ceremony and a brief Timber Pavilion send-off, then they go home. Studio Loft, Manna dinner for two, overnight, and breakfast are all included. The Micro Wedding is for 11–25 guests — $5,500 weekend, $4,600 weekday. Farmhouse getting ready, forest ceremony, dinner under Timber Pavilion or Studio Loft, guests out by 8pm. Manna and overnight are add-ons or separate bookings.
The Elopement includes: Farmhouse getting ready, forest ceremony with white pine timber frame arch, Timber Pavilion send-off, Studio Loft for the evening, Manna dinner for two, overnight in the Studio Loft, and a farm breakfast basket. The Micro Wedding includes: Farmhouse getting ready, forest ceremony, dinner under Timber Pavilion (good weather) or Studio Loft (bad weather), guests leave by 8pm. Manna dinner is available by request as a custom quote. Not included in either: officiant, photographer, florals, alcohol (BYOB).
A 25% (minimum $400) retainer holds your date — applied toward your total. No full payment is due until closer to the event. We send a payment link and a simple planning agreement when you confirm.
Fernwood doesn't hold a liquor licence, so we don't serve or supply alcohol. Your guests are welcome to bring their own, or the couple can arrange a Special Event Permit through the LCBO — about $25. We can walk you through that during planning.
The Elopement includes overnight in the Studio Loft for the couple. For Micro Weddings, the couple books the Studio Loft separately through the normal booking flow. Guest cabins (Adler and Bracken) are available at regular rates — each sleeps two, book via the normal booking flow alongside your wedding date.
Manna by Fernwood Hills is in-house farm-style food — seasonal menus, family-style shared plates. Not formal plated service. Manna food options are available by request and quoted based on menu, guest count, timing, and service style. We also have preferred London-area caterers — food trucks and fine dining — that couples book direct. No vendor fee. BYO is always welcome.
Lee calls the weather by 10am. Ceremony moves to the Timber Pavilion (covered, open-air) for light rain, or Studio Loft indoors for heavy rain/cold/wind. Micro Wedding dinner moves to the Studio Loft if the evening turns. All backups are beautiful — no tent scramble the morning of.
Elopement: guests leave after the ceremony and Timber Pavilion send-off — the evening is always just the couple. Micro Wedding: 8pm hard stop for all guests. This is by design — the day ends cleanly, and the couple has a quiet private evening after guests depart.
A Micro Wedding for 20 guests on a Saturday starts with the $5,500 package. Manna dinner and Studio Loft overnight are optional add-ons quoted or booked separately, so the all-in number depends on menu, guest count, timing, and whether you add overnight. Weekday bookings save $900 on the package fee. Also available: Ceremony Only at $2,500 weekend / $2,000 weekday.
Yes. You arrange your own officiant, photographer, and florist — we don't mandate preferred vendors or charge a vendor fee. We keep a recommended list of people who know the property and work well here. Bring anyone you want.
