Oakfield Park

Oakfield Park offers couples the freedom to build a wedding around the countryside rather than around a traditional ballroom.

Set outside Perth in Lanark County, the property combines broad green spaces with an indoor event setting, allowing the ceremony and celebration to move naturally between outdoors and in. Couples can exchange vows surrounded by the open landscape, gather outside for photographs and cocktails, then bring everyone together indoors as dinner begins.

A catering kitchen and bar help support the practical side of the reception, while couples can work with local catering options rather than being tied to the feeling of a conventional hotel package.

There is also something meaningful behind the celebration. Oakfield Park was developed as part of a wider community and youth-sport mission, with event bookings helping support leadership and grassroots rugby programs in Lanark County.

That gives the venue a wonderfully unpretentious warmth. The property can be dressed beautifully, but it still feels like a place meant for people to gather rather than simply a room built to look impressive.

For couples who picture open air, a relaxed country setting and a wedding with plenty of room to make the day their own, Oakfield Park offers a lovely escape less than an hour from Ottawa.
