Design & Food
Our couples who get married at The Drake Devonshire love the design aesthetic and incredible food. 
Ceremony & Reception Locations

Host your Wedding at The Drake Devonshire - Ceremony & Reception Sites

The Owner's Suite Elopement Cermony

A-frame luxury suite with lake-view balcony
‍Capacity | ~ 10 ceremony
View | Lake front
Perfect for an intimate elopement with the option of being indoors or outdoors based on the weather. Have a sunrise ceremony with a prosecco brunch and The Drake Commissary scones, or a sunset ceremony with dinner in the restaurant to follow.

The Glass Box Wedding Ceremony & Reception

Floor to ceiling glass and views of Lane Creek
Capacity | 30 plated meal with set menu
View | Creekside
Perfect for an intimate wedding ceremony and reception. With the Glass Box you have the option to have your ceremony outdoors, or indoors, and you have exclusive use of the Creekside outdoor space (so beautiful for cocktail hour candids and sunset portraits).

The Pavillion Wedding Ceremony & Reception

A-frame barn space, fully heated and available year round
‍Capacity | 45 plated meal with set menu
View | Lake front
Perfect for intimate weddings, a bit larger and more secluded than the Glass Box. Exclusive use of the Pavillion patio and outdoor space for your wedding.

Dining Room Wedding Reception

A-frame space cantilevered over the creek
‍Capacity | 50 plated meal with set menu
View | Lake front
Perfect for small weddings. Bright, beautiful space with stunning panoramic views of the lake. Arguably the iconic space of The Drake Devonshire (well, other than the Owner's Suite).

Lake Front Wedding Ceremony

Outdoor, right on Lake Ontario
‍Capacity | 60 for seated ceremony on the bleachers
Perfect for a lakefront ceremony with bar on-site. Your guests will watch from the bleachers as you marry your person, with the waves crashing in the background.

Why The Drake Devonshire is a unique venue for your wedding:

1. Not your average wedding meal. The Drake prides itself on delivering the best that The County has to offer in terms of seasonal ingredients and Drake favourites.
2. You can dress it up or dress it down - however you prefer. Go all out and bring in a wedding planner, florist, tablescapes to make your vision come to life OR keep it simple and embrace the bold architecture and vibrant colors of the Drake itself.
3. Get ready, and stay on-site. This is such a dream for weddings of all sizes. You can have the all-inclusive practicality of a typical hotel wedding, with none of the typical hotel wedding feels.
