Heritage and history come alive at Fanshawe Pioneer Village with its tree-lined streets, historic gardens and friendly ambiance, the village, provides an exquisite setting for any wedding, large or small.
Whether you choose an 1800’s church for the wedding, or a 1920’s Gazebo or celebrate your vows in a unique setting like the Cedar Maze or by the Heritage Rose Garden, your wedding will be as distinctive as it is memorable.
Built in 1887 Trinity Church is a beautiful example of ‘carpenter gothic” architecture and one of only 3 in Ontario. Featuring wonderfully carved oak beams and true stained glass windows, the Church also houses an original pump organ and choir area. The Church seats approximately 95 with some standing room and yes the bells can be rung.
Lochaber Free Presbyterian Church was built around 1884 by Scottish immigrants who were opposed to joining the Presbyterian Church of Canada. This very simple and plain building was host to services in both Gaelic and English. Due to the dictates of the Free Presbyterian Faith, no instrumental music is allowed. This church can seat approximately 110 with some standing room.
Perfect for an outdoor wedding the Lawson Gazebo centered in Victoria Park is a very pretty treed square in the middle of the Fanshawe Pioneer Village with a sweet Gazebo perfect for an outdoor ceremony. The Gazebo was built in 1923 by Colonel Tom Lawson for his new bride Miggsie. The Park can accommodate up to 400 people for an outdoor ceremony.
Come to the Village for your wedding photos. There is a minimal charge of $50 for wedding photos in the Fanshawe Pioneer Village and these must be arranged in advance. This cost includes free entry into Fanshawe Park and the Village for the full wedding party and photographer. We would strongly advise that your photographer visit the Village prior to the day to gain an understanding of the best spots for pictures. There are so many locations to choose from including log houses, Victorian Rose Gardens, the Cedar Maze and much more.
