- AAshlyn C29/12/2025A stunning venue with the sweetest ownersA stunning venue with the sweetest ownersA stunning venue with the sweetest owners. We were looking for an outdoor venue with the safety of a rain plan. Lucky for us, they completed building a greenhouse the week before we got married so we didn’t even have to worry about flipping the reception to accommodate the ceremony. Everything was gorgeous! The bridal cottage was perfect for both the gals and guys to get ready, and having the kitchen on site was awesome. We adored this venue and the booking process was stress free. 10/10 recommeA stunning venue with the sweetest owners. We were looking for an outdoor venue with the safety of a rain plan.

- AAJ's Mystic Mirror and Custom Creations29/12/2025absolutely beautiful absolutely beautifulWe have done a few events here in the past few years. Usually with our vintage camper booth. June 2025 we were asked to bring our other mirror and set-up for a Glam Photo Booth. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and you can see the amount of care that goes into it. We didn’t have much interaction with the owners - only during set-up and he was friendly and helpful. There is plenty of parking, bathrooms are super clean and I love that they have two pavilions.

- JJennifer F29/12/2025Dream VenueDream VenueThe White Poplar was truly a dream venue for us, and AJ and Dillon were also a dream to work with. They were kind and accommodating and you can tell they truly care so much about each of their couples having the perfect day. From hanging disco balls to making aperol spritzes the perfect colour, our wedding day was exactly what we pictured because of them and their beautiful space. I could go on and on about how gorgeous the venue is, but it really speaks for itself.The White Poplar was truly a dream venue for us, and AJ and Dillon were also a dream to work with.

Yes, you actually have to. You apply for a social occasion permit through the LGCA, and supply us with all the receipts for your alcohol. We provide the bartenders.

We suggest supporting local, and buying your alcohol from Lockport Grocery or another community liquor store. We also suggest that you pick up your canned beer from a vendor (as it will come cold).

We have you covered! Rain ceremonies will take place in our greenhouse. Rain calls must be made at least one hour prior to the ceremony time so we have time to set up chairs.

We do! We include all tables & chairs with your rental. We will have the tables set up for 10 AM, and will add the chairs later in the day (in case you want to move your tables around).

You do not need to put table cloths on our harvest tables.
We also set up and take down the ceremony chairs.
Do you provide high chairs?
Yes, we have two high chairs.
Can I decorate the fireplace?
We would love it if you did! For more info on our fireplace, see our website - resources.
Are candles allowed?
Yes, but all candle flames must be covered by 1” of glass.
Fireworks? Sparklers? Petals? Confetti?
Fireworks must be set off by a professional pyrotechnic company. A cleanup fee may be charged if they do not clean up properly. Please note if there is a municipal burn ban, fireworks will not be permitted.
Sparklers are always allowed. Please let us know if you will be using sparklers, and we will provide you with a sand bucket for sparklers to be discarded into.
Real flower petals are permitted, however an effort must be made to retrieve them up after use. Fake flower petals are NOT permitted.
