A restored 1888 Victorian teahouse where your closest ten to twenty people gather for a ceremony, tea, and everything after — all under one roof, with nothing left for you to set up or figure out.
Intimate weddings for your closest circle · 10–20 guests
Built in 1888 for James Ross — once Reeve of Oro and later Warden of Simcoe County — this Victorian home has been welcoming people through its doors for well over a century, and nobody’s quite sure who painted the six hand-painted angels circling the parlour ceiling. What we do know: you’ll get married in one room, walk through pocket doors into the next for tea and dinner, and never once have to think about setup, teardown, or where anyone’s supposed to stand. It’s a heritage home built for exactly the kind of wedding a lot of couples are quietly wishing someone would offer them — small, unhurried, and done.
The word “teahouse” probably brings a specific picture to mind — maybe something small and quaint tucked into a strip mall storefront. This isn’t that.
This is a restored 1888 Victorian home, the kind with a wraparound porch, tall peaked gables, and a hand-painted ceiling nobody can quite explain. Pocket doors separate your ceremony room from your dinner room, so your twenty closest people never have to go anywhere else. No cookie-cutter banquet hall energy, no “make it work” folding chairs — just a genuinely beautiful, lived-in heritage house that happens to serve a very good afternoon tea.
Come for the wedding. Stay because you’ll wonder why more people don’t get married in houses like this.
