There are wedding venues where greenery is part of the décor, and then there is Kortright Eventspace, where an entire forest surrounds the celebration.
Set within approximately 325 hectares of protected woodland in Woodbridge, Kortright gives couples the chance to exchange vows beneath a canopy of trees, wander forest paths for photographs and celebrate somewhere that feels remarkably peaceful despite being close to the city.
Six different event locations across the property allow weddings to range from wonderfully intimate gatherings to celebrations of approximately 200 guests.
Outdoor ceremonies are one of the defining experiences here. Couples can stand beneath towering trees with the forest itself creating the aisle, backdrop and atmosphere around them. The scenery changes with the seasons too, from fresh green woodland to the rich colours of autumn and the quiet beauty of winter.
After the ceremony, guests can gather for cocktails while the couple disappears along the trails and into the trees for photographs.
The indoor reception setting carries that connection to nature forward with warm wooden beams and large windows looking toward the surrounding landscape. It means the forest remains part of the wedding even once everyone has taken their seats for dinner.
Kortright operates as a full-service wedding venue through Peter & Paul's Hospitality Group, with catering, bar service, event coordination and many of the practical details of the reception handled in one place.
A private suite gives the wedding party somewhere to prepare and regroup, while year-round ceremony options and an indoor weather backup help protect the day when the forecast decides not to cooperate.
Perhaps the most romantic part is the feeling of being somewhere entirely different for a few hours. The city disappears, the trees close around the gathering and a wedding begins to feel like a little world of its own.
For couples who have always pictured vows beneath the trees, photographs along forest paths and dinner surrounded by the people they love, Kortright Eventspace offers one of the GTA's most naturally beautiful ways to celebrate.
