Aubrey Acres gives Northern Ontario couples something especially lovely: a wedding that does not have to be squeezed into a handful of hours. In Astorville, just outside North Bay, this family-owned property brings together a rustic barn, peaceful pond and open countryside in a setting where the celebration can stretch across an entire weekend.
Wedding packages include access to the barn and property from Friday afternoon through Sunday, giving couples time to arrive, settle in and make the space feel like their own before the first guest takes their seat. Tables and benches are available for up to 100 guests, along with a bar area, fire pit and outdoor ceremony arbor. Around the property, the pond and countryside offer plenty of beautiful places to slip away for photographs.
Couples can exchange vows beside the water, then wander only a few steps to the barn to begin celebrating. There is something wonderfully romantic about that simplicity. No racing from one place to another. No feeling as though the day is disappearing faster than you can take it in. Instead, the barn can be prepared the day before, familiar faces begin arriving and the excitement has time to slowly build.

By the time the sun begins to fall across the property, the wedding has already become more than a single day. Lights glow from the barn, guests gather around the fire and the countryside grows quiet around the celebration. What began as an ordinary weekend in Astorville becomes one of those weekends everyone wishes could last just a little longer.
