On the shores of Lake Joseph since 1939, Sherwood Inn opens its entire 49-room property exclusively to one wedding group at a time — ceremonies unfold at 'The Point,' a dramatic lakefront peninsula at the foot of a 24-step staircase, and every guest room comes with a wood-burning fireplace.
Sherwood Inn is an intimate Muskoka resort beside Lake Joseph, in Port Carling, with old Muskoka charm and a canopy of century-old pines. It has 49 guest rooms and cottages, many with wood-burning fireplaces and private whirlpools, as well as a full-service spa and access to a nearby 18-hole championship golf course. The lakeside ceremony location is known as the Point, found at the base of a 24-step staircase that serves as the aisle.
Weddings are typically sold on an exclusive-use basis, so the couple have the resort to themselves, their family and friends, with no other guests on the property. The inn describes this as a setting for weddings of 100 to 120 guests, and it is open in all four seasons. There is 3,000 square feet of flexible, sun-filled event space, and the dining room has floor-to-ceiling windows for the reception. An experienced wedding coordinator plans each weekend. Activities can be organised for the wedding party, from group bonfires with chili and hot chocolate to garden wine and cheese receptions, shuffleboard tournaments and canoe races. All food and beverage is supplied and prepared by the inn, with the wedding cake the only exception.
