Cottonwood Mansion

A Timeless Mansion Dream for Your Wedding Day

Tucked away in the rolling countryside of southwestern Ontario, Cottonwood Mansion is more than a stunning Italianate-Georgian–style home from the 1870s—it’s a place where history, romance, and celebration intertwine. Imagine exchanging vows beneath the graceful white gazebo, wandering the sunlit lawns for portraits that feel like oil paintings, and dining under the stars with the mansion’s warm glow behind you.

Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a grand outdoor celebration, Cottonwood offers a range of spaces to suit your vision:

Indoor Weddings (up to 40 guests per room for a seated reception)

Our grand Victorian interiors are ideal for cozy, elegant celebrations:

• Music Room – Newly restored with delicate blush-pink walls and natural light, perfect for ceremonies of up to 50 or seated receptions for 40.
• Dining Room – A warm, dramatic space across from the Music Room, accommodating up to 30 guests seated.
• Bridal Suite – A romantic upstairs retreat with mirrors, refreshments, and a staircase perfect for a dramatic entrance.

(For indoor dinners, our maximum is 40 per room. For larger groups, consider an indoor cocktail hour with outdoor reception.)

Outdoor Weddings (up to 200 guests on the property)

When the gardens are in bloom, the outdoors becomes your canvas:

• Gazebo – The heart of our ceremonies, with seating for up to 120, electric outlets, and wheelchair access. It also makes a stunning dance floor!
• Mansion Grounds – Three acres of sweeping lawns and heritage trees create a magical backdrop for tented receptions, al fresco dining, or dancing beneath the stars, with space for up to 200 guests.
