4 Seasons Country Club

At 4 Seasons Country Club, couples exchange vows in the open air above a golf course valley, with ponds, tall trees and Duffins Creek running through the view below.

The club sits in the countryside of Durham Region, about 10 minutes north of Pickering and Ajax. It feels truly rural, yet downtown Toronto is less than an hour away.

The ceremony site looks out across a wide, sweeping panorama of greenery, flowers and water, a natural setting that needs little decoration on a summer day.

Receptions can be held under the Marquis Event Tent for up to 200 guests, or indoors in a banquet room with country character that seats up to 120.

The club hosts only one wedding on any given day, so the staff can give their full attention to the couple, the wedding party and every guest.

Venue rental now allows outside catering. Couples bring in the caterer of their choice, and the club looks after the beverage service.

Guests travelling in will find plenty of hotels in Pickering and Ajax, with more in Whitby and Oshawa, and the club is easy to reach from both Highway 401 and Highway 407.

For couples who picture saying I do above a green valley with a creek winding past, 4 Seasons Country Club offers a country wedding that stays close to the city.
