Weddings
If you are looking for an affordable, yet special venue for your wedding, The Kawartha Centre offers you a unique experience. We offer your group exclusive use of the facilities so you can enjoy the privacy of being the only group onsite for the whole weekend. You will find our site to be the perfect setting for a personal, intimate wedding for up to 125 people. Our facility is available for weekend bookings from September to mid-June.
Beautiful Setting
Enjoy the splendor of autumn colors, magnificent sunsets, the warmth of a wood stove on a beautiful winter's day, or the smell of spring coming alive after a gentle rain shower.
Located on the south shores of Clear Lake, only half an hour from Peterborough, we have 750 ’ of waterfront, a large dining hall with a stone fireplace, a cozy meeting space with a wood stove, and winterized cabins.
Benefits of an all-in-one facility
- host a welcome party, or rehearsal dinner on friday night
- two sites in one - use of facility for both wedding ceremony & reception
- enjoy an outdoor setting for your ceremony, with the reassurance of an indoor space as a backup
- we provide in-house catering, or if you prefer you may also bring your own caterer (please ensure your caterer is aware of our no-nut policy)
- cabin accommodations available - enjoy the whole weekend together with family and friends who may be coming from far and wide
- spend more time with your guests, instead of feeling like everything went by in blur as you rushed from one location to another
- your weekend-long wedding celebration can be part family reunion, part mini-vacation, and loads of fun for everyone who attends
Suitable for informal or semi-formal weddings
- have a family barbeque luncheon on Saturday
- spend time with your guests with activities such as cross-country skiing, nature walks, canoeing, or a game of basketball, volleyball, soccer or hockey
- keep children and youth busy with cooperative games, wall climbing, arts & crafts or a host of camp related activities
