Ponderosa Ranch: A Venue as Unique as You Are

Cornwall is a great city to get married in. There are tons of great vendors who charge very reasonable prices, and there are several beautiful venues that offer everything you need all rolled up into a neat little package. But let’s face it – if you’re looking for a really unique wedding venue in the city you’re going to have to get creative; because while there are some really fantastic venues in the city we’ve all been to at least a couple of weddings at each of them.

So where do you even begin to look? Do you have family or friends who own a cottage on the lake? Maybe you want to consider Upper Canada Village for a beautiful 18th Century themed wedding. Recently, I visited one of the newest and most unique wedding venues the Seaway has to offer – Ponderosa Ranch.



Just East of Cornwall this beautifully landscaped area is a magical place to hold a wedding. There’s a charming (and huge) chalet made entirely of real pine logs. Inside is a fantastic open-concept kitchen and living area with a loft-style master bedroom overlooking the picturesque landscape banking the Raisin River - imagine waking up here the morning after your first night as husband and wife! Awesome, right?! (Not to mention that the en-suite bathroom is a great place for a candle-lit bubble bath)

Imagine your outdoor ceremony set on the water with all the beauty of nature as your backdrop followed by a fantastic tent reception on an elevated plateau with a breathtaking view of the property.

But don’t act too fast; a wedding at Ponderosa is not for the faint at heart. There will be lots of extras that you will have to take care of yourself, such as portable toilets (unless you want your guests running in and out of your honeymoon suite), tent rental, tables, chairs, caterer, linens – all the things that would normally be taken care of at the “typical” venues. No, this venue is for the couple who really want to really “wow” their guests and leave them talking about the event for years to come.

So if you’re looking for a wedding location that is as unique as you are – this one is for you!
