The Glasshouse

The Glasshouse is one of those places where a wedding does not have to choose between the old and the new.

There is the glasshouse itself, bright and transparent, allowing the landscape and changing light to become part of everything happening inside.

Then there is the fieldstone house.

And the barn.

Three different pieces of one private Meaford property, each bringing its own feeling to a wedding that can stretch across more than a single room or even a single day.

Couples can shape the experience around the celebration they actually want, incorporating different spaces and customizing the days, nights and stay around their plans.

That means the wedding can unfold rather than simply begin and end.

Get ready in the house.

Gather everyone for the ceremony.

Let cocktails find their way outside.

Move toward dinner as the light begins changing through the glass.

Then watch the entire property take on a different feeling once darkness arrives.

There is something particularly romantic about a glass wedding space at night.

During the day, it almost disappears into the landscape.

After sunset, the opposite happens.

The building begins to glow.

Tables, candles and people become visible through the glass while the countryside beyond it falls into darkness.

And because this is a private property visited by appointment rather than a public attraction, the whole experience can feel wonderfully removed from ordinary life.

For one wedding, the house, barn and glasshouse stop being three separate spaces.

They become the beginning, middle and late-night chapters of the same story.
