As every wedding planner will tell you, if you’re hosting an outdoor ceremony, you should always have a back-up plan in case of rain. Luckily, Ancaster Mill located in Ancaster, Ontario boasts two chapels, one outdoors and one indoors, that are equally beautiful.
The outdoor chapel is surrounded by greenery, with the calming sound of the nearby waterfalls and trickling stream wafting through the air. If rain is an unexpected wedding guest (don’t worry, they say its good luck!), you’ll have no problem moving indoors at this flour mill-turned-venue. The historical setting boasts a cozy stone fireplace topped with wrought iron candelabras.
For the cocktail hour or reception, you can choose amongst Ancaster Mill‘s five incredible spaces.
