Perched on the shores of Lake Rosseau since the late 19th century, Windermere House offers multiple ceremony and reception spaces — from a grand lakefront lawn to the 2,000-square-foot Islandview Hall — with the entire resort's hospitality team at the couple's service. The venue can accommodate up to 120 guests for your wedding celebration.
Windermere House is a historic Victorian-style hotel on the shores of Lake Rosseau in Muskoka, and a landmark there since 1870. It has 56 guest rooms and a four-bedroom private cottage,. The hotel describes its character as nostalgia, romance and classic Muskoka charm, with lake views from the verandah and the grand lobby, where cocktail hours are staged.
Weddings begin on the sprawling front lawn, where an outdoor ceremony takes place with Lake Rosseau as the backdrop. Guests then move to the private, covered verandah for cocktails. The reception is held in the Islandview Room, which has a view of the lake and Victorian detail and accommodates up to 120 guests for a banquet, or 170 when set for a ceremony. The Tobin room seats 32 for a banquet and the Windermere Pub seats 60, for smaller gatherings around the wedding. Each wedding package includes tables, Silver Chiavari chairs, white-on-white linens and votive candles, along with a portable dance floor and room set-up and teardown. An assigned Event Coordinator works with couples from the first planning stages to the farewell, and couples and their guests receive preferred room rates.
