Reviews of 100 Acre Wood (Event Planner)

Giuliana Alfano

I can't say enough about the kindness, care and thoughtfulness that is Mary & Kevin. These magical humans pour their heart and soul into their business, taking every care along the way to ensure the planning process is easy-going, grounded and enjoyable while every detail is covered. We knew that we wanted our wedding day to be less traditional and we resonated with Mary & Kevin's wedding philosophy immediately upon stepping foot on 100 Acre Wood. The simplicity, authenticity, and connectedness to the natural elements, local food community and to our gracious hosts make this venue much more than a space for weddings to take place - it's a community fueled by the magic of love. We never imagined experiencing the connection or joy that has come from planning our wedding with 100 Acre Wood. As we wait another year for our special day due to the pandemic, our gratitude for this space and, more importantly, for Mary & Kevin grows bigger with each friendly check-in and heartfelt conversation. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that does it all AND feels like home, please consider 100 Acre Wood. Your experience from start to finish will feel nothing short of magical!

Had the honor of attending a very special wedding at 100 Acre Wood in 2017, and I think back to it often. Mary and Kevin have built a literal dream on a very special piece of land in Prince Edward County. They pour their hearts & souls into their vision, and it absolutely comes across to guests. To sweeten the deal, they serve the best food you will ever have at a wedding (or anywhere really). Cannot recommend this venue enough. It's a magical place <3

This is the most magical venue in the County. The owners are incredibly kind, thoughtful, patient, and super thorough in their organizing. Such attention to detail in both aesthetic and process. Don’t think twice about hosting your event here!

Emily Jackson

We got married at 100 Acre Wood in June 2019. It was pure magic and we'd do it again in a heartbeat. Mary and Kevin have poured their hearts into the place, and their hard work shines in all the details. Before the event, Mary recommended vendors throughout the county, helped us save money and responded to every question. On our wedding weekend, the entire team went above and beyond. Plus, the food is next level. Cheers to all those lucky enough to experience the magic of the place!

I've been luck to photograph a couple weddings at 100 Acre Wood, and I can't say enough good things about the venue. It's gorgeous, the food is outstanding, and the spaces are functional and well laid out. Most importantly, the owners Mary and Kevin are unbelievably caring, considerate, and focused on delivering the best possible experience for their clients. Truly a world-class venue.

My husband and I were one of the many couples that had to postpone due to COVID. Mary and Kevin were so flexible and easy to work with. We had no issues with changing the date, and when the wedding day arrived everything was perfect. Mary was so helpful ensuring all decor was the way we wanted it, the music, the drinks/cocktails, and Kevin did an incredible job with the menu. To this day, we still have family members and friends telling us how incredible the food was. It was fresh, creative and very delicious! The space is stunning, and the recent upgrades the barn and tent were so well done. It’s such a magical space! I would highly recommend 100 Acre Wood!

Halliday Reynolds

Mary and Kevin have created a truly magical space at 100 acre wood. Apart from their incredible food and seamless curation, what sets them apart is how well they listen, making each wedding reflect the specific couple in beautiful ways. You can also be sure when you choose them that they are treating their 90% female staff incredibly well, and sourcing as much of their ingredients and products as possible locally and sustainably. I couldn't recommend this venue more highly!

Ashley Inglis

Delicate and beautful environment.Excellent food, atmosphere and service. The property and hospitality are wonderful. I absolutely loved my experience and hope to be invited back soon. Such a magical place

Shannon Kohlmeier

Mary is one of the most creative and thoughtful business people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her property is gorgeous, and her food, well... it is just prepared with so much love how could it be anything but amazing. Overall, you will never forget your 100 acre wood experience.

Katrina-Marguerita Castro

The most magical spot. Words cannot describe how perfect this location is for a wedding! <3 So much love for Mary & Kevin.

Jeff Conlin

Easily the most beautiful wedding venue in Canada. Perfectly situated, amazing buildings, and incredible potential for any type of ceremony, but that's all secondary. The reason to book this place is that you have some of the top and most amazing chefs and bakers you've ever met as your hosts. It's the best of everything. We look often at the pictures of the wedding we attended there, memories we will never forget.

Megan Lumgair

100 Acre Wood is the most magical place! Mary and Kevin have poured their hearts, body and every ounce of energy into making the space a total dream. As a wedding curator, their approach to weddings is utterly refreshing.They offer couples an easeful, easy-going planning process, encouraging authenticity and simplicity. Mary and Kevin remain grounded as they work endlessly for their couples. They approach the work they do with complete care, and continue to support local craftsmanship, their community along with connection. They have carefully considered what a wedding day should embody and their space and the team behind it all reflect exactly that - loving company, nourishing food and a relaxed setting.

I have been fortunate enough to attend two weddings at 100 Acre Wood. Mary and Kevin have created an amazing venue that speaks to the heart and soul of everyone who visits. The grounds are visually stunning, the food is truly outstanding, the music and ambience are breathtaking. But above it is their attention to detail in everything that Kevin and Mary do. They have a magical touch and it is something that you have to experience. If you are looking for an experience that only comes once in a lifetime.........look no further that 100 Acre Wood.........it is perfection and you will not be disappointed.........

Emma Woodman

This is one of the most gorgeous event venues I have ever laid my eyes upon. From the moment you walk into 100 Acre Wood it feels like a dream. Mary and Kevin are exceptional hosts, having thought of every detail. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces are stunning, and then blend seamlessly as you travel throughout the property...just wait until you find the secret row of hammocks! Their staff are always lovely, Kevin's cooking is insanely delicious, and Mary is one of the most kind and creative people I've ever met. Anyone would be lucky to to have their wedding or party here....just please invite me!

Sarah Sklash

Recently attended a wedding here and it was fabulous. Dinner was really delicious. Ceremony location was beautiful.

Hilary Allan

If I could rate 100 Acre Wood 10 stars I would! I got married here last summer, and I truly feel like one of the lucky ones to have had my wedding at such a perfect place. 100 Acre Wood is so much more than just a wedding venue, it’s a community that welcomes you in from day one and stops at nothing to make sure your big day ( and every day leading up to it) is perfect and STRESS FREE. The owners, Mary + Kevin, pour their heart and soul into this place and into each and every wedding here, and you can feel it. Mary was there for me whenever I needed her throughout the entire process—she helped me decorate, she made sure all of the music was queued up just right, she was just a great, calming, presence to have around and made sure everything ran smoothly. Kevin + the kitchen staff created a wedding menu to END ALL wedding menus. Seriously, my friends still talk about how amazing our wedding food was. And there was A LOT of it! If you’re looking for a gorgeous wedding venue that does it all, then do yourself a favour and book at 100 Acre Wood. I can promise you it will be one of the best decisions of your life! (second only to marrying the love of your life).

100 Acre Wood is a truly magical place. The food is absolutely next level and working with Mary and Kevin is a dream. We love the beautiful simplicity of the ceremony sites and chapel venue, and the whimsical fields of long grass and wildflowers that surround the manicured spaces. Highly recommend this dreamy wedding venue!

Paul Bastiaanssen

Amazing people, Fantastic venue, food was delish!!

There She Glows

100 Acre Wood is purely magical. I have been lucky enough to see the process of 100 Acre Wood & watch it grow. From the very first time I went to the venue I felt a huge sense of relaxation. The grounds are beautiful, well organized and make you feel like you are in your own little world. Mary & Kevin are fantastic as well - both professional and REAL. They are both very easy to talk to & extremely accommodating.. what is even better is that they truly have passion for their space. This is reflected by their subtle but beautifully executed updates & additions that happen in their down time. They are consistently looking for ways to improve their space to give their couples a dream wedding space. I love this venue and I LOVE the owners.

Yesterday, we participated in our son's wedding reception at the 100 Acre Wood. Everything was excellent, including even minor details. The only wish is related to the cake: it was good but not outstanding. The other people could have a different opinion, though.

Mary and her team at 100 Acre Wood ensured a perfect day for our wedding. Right from the initial stages, working with Mary was seamless. She was thoughtful about incorporating details that were important to us and did so in a natural way that fit within the venue. On the day of, she ensured everything was set up and ready for our arrival. The food was absolutely incredible! Kevin and the rest of the team offered the perfect meal, which included tender beef ribs and late night roadside burgers. A small and intimate setting on a perfect property just outside of Picton with the most incredible staff. What more could we have asked for. (photo by @twocheeksstudio)

This venue checks all the boxes! We were married at 100 Acre Wood in September 2019 just as the leaves were changing colour, the fields were golden and the air was so fresh. Kevin and Mary have really thought of everything. They pay attention to every detail and are so graciously accommodating. The food and dinner service were major highlights - our guests could not stop raving about the dinner! Thank you 100 Acre Wood for making our wedding a dream come true!

Sarah Stothart

My husband and I got married at 100 Acre Wood in October 2019 and have only the most amazing things to say about the venue and our experience with Mary and Kevin. From the first moment we visited in a cold icy January, we knew something about the place felt like “home”. There is a magical atmosphere with the endless fields as your backdrop, and a kind, relaxed, and no-pressure attitude from the hosts. If you are looking for a combination of modern clean style and county charm, this is the perfect spot. Plus, it seems to keep getting better every year - Mary and Kevin have a touch for adding small meaningful details (can we get married again?!). Mary is super responsive and helpful, but also does a good job of encouraging you to relax and trust that everything will work out. The food is delicious and unique, as others have said. Something about the family style dinner and the setting makes for an intimate feeling wedding, even at 150 guests. And overall, the hosts are just good people - I’ll always remember them loading up their truck to help us return leftover alcohol to the LCBO the morning after our wedding. Our pictures are beautiful and I get a warm fuzzy feeling thinking back on this day. All the best to you Mary and Kevin!! Xo

Mary and Kevin have created a truly stunning venue with so much care and love behind every detail. If you are looking to have any stye of event in Prince Edward County, 100 Acre Wood is the place to have it ...an absolute gem.

Shannon Warr-Hunter

I can’t say enough about Mary and Kevin and their amazing team. They just pour their hearts and souls into everything they do and they make literal magic for happy couples on their most special day. The food is incomparable, the venue is so comfortable and beautiful and just immersed in nature. I can’t recommend them enough, they are just the best people and they are obviously working/living their passions - it’s awesome.

Kat Nyman

Such a magical spot with incredible owners + staff! Mary + Kevin run 100 Acre wood with incredible intention and ingenuity.

Jessica Cooney

Mary and Kevin offer one of the most wonderful venues in all of Ontario. Their thoughtful approach and keen sense of beauty and sophistication combined with just the right amount of County charm resonates in every detail throughout their property and at every event they host. In two words, our wedding was effortless and stunning. Mary helped guide our planning and day with the lightest of touches and everything we dreamed up came to life - but better then we had imagined. Kevin also created one of the most unique menus we had ever seen. Featuring local produce and seasonal flavours, we were treated to a middle-eastern inspired fall menu which surprised our guests in the most impressive way. Mary and Kevin also hold deep connections with the local community and endeavor to buy local wherever possible. We appreciated the thoughtful inclusion of local bakers, producers, and had the most fun exploring the local wine and beer industry to create our bar. When everything came together, it truly felt like we were part of The County family. For whatever celebration you have planned, consider 100 Acre Wood - you'll have the most magical time!

My husband and I got married at 100 Acre Wood last July and it was literally the most magical experience a couple could ever want. Mary and Kevin are total gems!!!! Every detail was curated perfectly and the food was absolutely beyond. Mary made planning a wedding easy and genuine. Everything about the venue, including their incredible staff, allowed us to stay true to how we envisioned our wedding day. It’s a perfect country setting (rain or shine) and you can really make it whatever you want to suit your personal dreams for that day. We LOVED our wedding day and none of it would have been possible without Mary, Kevin, their staff, and the magnificent PEC vendors we were introduced to early on in the planning days. We love you 100 Acre Wood!!!! Katye and Matt (married July 27, 2019).

If you want to get married in PEC - this is THE ONLY spot to consider! Honestly. There are many beautiful locations in the County and other wedding venue options but I promise you, the 100 Acre Wood will EXCEED all of your expectations. You want Mary and Kevin on your wedding-planning team! Mary is your built-in, magical wedding planner and Kevin is your rock-star chef! Their expertise, work ethic and the overall standard they set is very hard to match. The thing I loved the most about this venue was that everything was in one spot - the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dance. Our wedding felt like a fancy (but laid-back) back-yard party and I loved it! Planning with Mary was a dream! She has thought of everything and the whole day went incredibly smooth. My top wedding highlights would be: the ceremony set-up with the old church pews overlooking their acreage, the twinkle lights in the tent and the barn, the restored barn and exposed wood, all of the natural greenery (which also means that ALL of our wedding photos turned out amazing), the bonfire at night, THE FOOD, the on-site and outdoor kitchen, and not having to set-up or tear down before or after the wedding. Thank you Mary, Kevin and the 100 Acre Wood team for making our day so special. We love you guys!

Becky Madsen

We had our wedding here last summer and it was the most magical day. Even after a year we still have guests tell us how amazing the food was and that it was the best wedding they'd been to. Working with One Hundred Acre Wood was seamless and very simple! They went above and beyond with the details and made every little thing that much better. It's perfect.

Emily Carvell Helm

We really cannot speak highly enough about Mary, Kevin and the entire 100 Acre Wood team who made us feel so welcome and loved throughout our experience. We knew we wanted our wedding day to be a little less traditional and only include aspects of tradition that we could truly stand behind. Mary and Kevin's philosophy on weddings really resonated with us and we knew almost immediately that their beautiful venue was perfect for us, so sight unseen - we booked it. Mary gracefully led us through the planning process, with friendly check-ins to make sure we were on track and had everything we needed in order to make our day the best it could be. The best part, in our eyes, was that the weekend was so organized yet relaxed and how Mary made sure that everything happened when and where it needed to so we didn't have to worry about any of the hassles of the weekend. It allowed us to take the time to slow down and focus on enjoying our time together and with our guests, which we were so grateful for. Our friends and family all felt so well taken care of, and although we were a a group filled with allergies and dietary restrictions, everyone had full bellies and hearts by the end of the night. We really could not have asked for a better day, better food, or better hospitality from all the amazing folks at 100 Acre Wood. Our only complaint is that we can't do it all over again next year because it was so much fun!

Spencer Hoyt

When we were looking for a venue to launch our first business, we found 100 Acre Wood and instantly fell in love with Kevin and Mary’s confident and calm demeanor and the magical space they have created. Through all the chaos of our deadlines and the eventual launch, their support was invaluable and allowed us to relax and actually enjoy it. We now consider them good friends and you would be hard pressed to find a better team to provide you with a magical experience tailored specifically to you.

Lia McDonald
