Wedding Location

Our wedding is being held at the beautiful Kortright Centre for Conservation in Woodbridge, ON. We chose this location not only for the beautiful views and proximity to the city and the majority of our guests, but because we strongly believe in what they do. There's also some sentimental value as Nikki and her family used to attend Kortright's Sugaring festival each year.

Kortright puts on "Green Weddings", which include local and organic food options, the use of local vendors, fair trade coffee and tea, no chemicals or pesticides used in the facility, eco-friendly and biodegradable cleaning products, an onsite recycling program, onsite wetland wastewater treatment system, onsite solar hot water heating system, and it is a Bullfrog powered facility. Our favourite part is that profits from the wedding will go towards environmental education programs.

Kortright Centre is about 1/2 hour north of downtown Toronto, but it's best to leave yourself extra time for traffic.

Parking on site is free for all guests.

Once inside Kortright, you'll follow the road to the Parking lot (marked on the map below with a green P). You'll follow the main path up to the visitor's centre where you'll be directed to the ceremony location. It is a short walk, so you may want to wear your flat shoes.

Guests who have difficulty walking can be driven up the service road to be dropped off. This road goes right up to where the Glass House is, which is right beside the ceremony location. If you look at the map, the service road begins at the top right corner of the parking lot (stay to the left) and ends just above the DD sign on the map.

The ceremony will be held outside in the Cathedral of Trees, overlooking a ravine. In case of heavy rain it will be held inside the visitor's centre. The reception will follow, on site, in the glass house.
