Ontario Wedding Venues

Caledon Woods is a scenic, inspiring walk in the pastoral hills and valleys of the Caledon countryside just north of Toronto. Opened in 2003, Caledon Woods replaced the 27-hole Bolton Golf Club, so it delivers modern features and top conditions in the mature surroundings of a grand old club. Architect Paul Takahashi kept the classic parkland character intact but introduced links-style elements with tight lies and crowns around engaging greens—among the region’s best—that have a wide range of slope and contour. Given the heaving Caledon landscape, uneven fairway lies are common and there are some challenging tee shots where moving the ball to fit the hole provides you with an advantage. Although not long at 6,415 yards, most holes let you grip it and rip it. The character of the clubhouse fits the rural setting. It sits atop the highest point on the property and invites you in for an after-round drink or for Sunday brunch. The large patio also beckons, offering scenic views of the lovely Caledon Hills. A secluded outdoor wedding area is perfect for that special day; its elevated location gives guests unparalleled panoramic views. A separate banquet area in the clubhouse accommodates up to 200 people. The combination of natural beauty and shot-making challenge provides Caledon Woods with the charm of a grand old club but everything you expect for 21st Century golf.

Grosvenor Lodge is a city owned, self sustaining historic estate. It is a co-operative community endeavour promoting heritage and environmental activities and organizations in the London area. "For over 120 years, Grosvenor Lodge, which has been described as an outstanding example of ""Tudor Gothic"", was home to one of London's pioneer families. Samuel and Anne Peters left their native Devon to come to Canada in 1835. His training as a civil engineer and land surveyor seemed to fit with the requirements of the new land. His first employment was with the Canada Land Company in Goderich. However, his wife and family preferred London and there was plenty of work for a surveyor in the rapidly growing community. They bought 500 acres of land from George Goodhue and had their nephew design the house. The result was a Victorian residence in the manner of a Tudor country home. There are paired gable finials and paired gable panels, one with the date stone and the other with Samuel Peters monogram. Emphasized quoins toped by corbels mark the corners. Work on the house began in 1853 and the family moved in a year later. The imposing entrance has Gothic heads to sidelights and door and recessed spandrels emphasize the Gothic heads with rectangular frames. Sidelights and transom have leaded glass with decorative treatment and monograms. The door and side panels are linen fold panels and the alignment of the paneling indicates much attention to detail. The stained glass window over the front door has the initials S and A, for Samuel and Anne, entwined in a Victorian love knot. Grosvenor Lodge remained in the Peters family for 3 generations. This extensive country estate was also a working farm, refined into a gentleman's farm under the stewardship of son John who inherited the property. John was a Justice of the Peace and raised thoroughbred horses and greyhounds on the farm. Leila Gertrude Peters, John's daughter, was only 25 years old when she inherited the home in 19115 and a gracious, yet industrious, family life continued through the twentieth century. She raised shorthorn cattle, made her own butter and ran the farm business from the kitchen. She married James Paul Dunn and had a son. William Lawrie Dunn. Leila Peters Dunn lived in the house until her death in 1974. Two years before she died, Leila sold the property to the University of Western Ontario under the condition that it be preserved as an historic site. The Lodge was designated as a Heritage property in 1972. The London Public Library Board took over and in 1981 the Lodge opened as the Lawson Museum and History Centre. Today the Lodge is the London Regional Resource Centre for HERITAGE and ENVIRONMENT. The Lodge is owned by the city of London and since 1992 has been managed by Heritage London Foundation. "

The history of the building precedes 1931. Around the turn of the century, the wood frame structure was bricked over and known as the Wildfang/Staebler Block. It housed a piano dealership, farm machinery sales office, and upstairs, the post office and the Tavistock Gazette newspaper office and a photo gallery. In later years the main floor was a car showroom operated by Andrew Baechler. The restaurant lineage begins in 1931, with the opening of “Joe`s Place” under the founder Old Joe Steinman. It began as a lunch counter, tobacco shop and barber shop. In 1946, Joe`s son Clarence “Hap” Steinman, joined his father. They incorporated the bowling lanes that were located at the rear of the restaurant, where the Quehl`s banquet facilities are now located. In 1959, a partnership between Hap and Les Rogers was formed and the name was changed to “Les & Haps”. Les retired in 1972 and in 1974, Hap sold the business to his nephew Joe Steinman and the name returned to “Joe`s Place” and remained until 1981. It was then purchased by Bill Quehl (The name Quehl, is pronounced like the bird Quail). Bill had acquired, what was then, the 40 year old catering business of his grandmother, Ruby. Bill closed down the bowling alley, and used the solid oak lanes to form many of the tables used today at Quehl`s. He renovated the original dinning area of the restaurant, to what you see today. In 1987, Ruth and Steve Cahill, purchased the restaurant and neighboring buildings (formerly Weicker`s butcher shop and the Weicker House. They maintained the Quehl`s name and Steve made extensive renovations to the neighboring buildings and joined them together with the original building. This was done by inclosing the alleyway that ran between the restaurant and the Weicker butcher shop, thus making one large building with a total seating capacity of 250. A partnership was formed in 1993 with the current owners, Cindy and Brian Larsen, until the Cahill`s retired from Quehl`s in 1996. All owners have maintained the small, home town quality of Quehl`s. Each of the several dining areas of the restaurant are named according to previous owners. The “Old Joe`s Room” the “Ruby Quehl Room” the “Weicker Room” and the “Les & Hap`s Room” each are unique and offer the flavor of a bygone era. The alley way that is now the main entrance to Quehl`s, once led to the rear barns for Weickers butcher shop, back at the turn of the century. As the horse drawn wagons would round the corner to the barn, the hub of the wheels would scrape the bricks, and the grooves are visible to this day. As well as a restaurant, Quehl`s has become somewhat of a museum, with artifacts from the Tavistock area, dating back more that a century. The catering side of Quehl`s is heading into it`s 60th year, with many of the original recipes still in use. Catering events range in size from 50 people to an event Quehl`s catered for 5,500 people. Within the past 10 years, Quehl`s has served on average 150,000 meals each year. Quehl`s has become the destination for many motor coach tours, prior to and returning from, the Stratford Festival, being only 20 minutes from the Theatre. We have abundant facilities to accommodate a tour. We are an Eat Smart restaurant, Smoke Free and Allergy conscious. Quehl`s uses traditionally raised meats and organic products, supplied by local producers. All the owners have meticulously recorded the changes made to the operations over the years. The walls of the restaurant are adorned with pictures of the restaurant and other buildings of Tavistock that make for interesting comparisons of the past and present. Other reminders of past eras, particularly in the railway motif, and now models of vintage cars, make a visit to the restaurant a worthwhile experience. Your Hosts, Cindy and Brian Larsen.
