What It Actually Feels Like To Get Married At Quayle's Brewery
It feels wild. Beautiful. Like you stumbled onto 87 acres of rolling Oro-Medonte countryside and decided right then and there that this was the one.
Not in a "we found a nice tent in someone's backyard" kind of way. More like a "we found a working farm brewery nestled in the hills between Barrie and Orillia, surrounded by hop yards and flower gardens, and somehow it's only 20 minutes from either city" kind of way. Which, if you've ever tried to find a venue that's both genuinely stunning and actually accessible, you understand is basically a miracle.
You pull up the long farm laneway and the whole property opens up in front of you. Rolling hills. Twelve acres of hop yards. Flower gardens everywhere. The kind of setting that makes your photographer quietly lose their mind with excitement before the ceremony even starts.
The ceremony happens on a picturesque hillside surrounded by mature trees, with a handcrafted arbor, white chairs, and the whole farm stretched out behind you. Your guests sit there in the fresh air thinking this is the most beautiful thing they've ever attended. They're right.
Then everyone moves into the Hop Yard Nursery tent — a stunning white peaked tent with decorative lights, a private bar, and a fire pit waiting outside for after dinner. Up to 150 of your favourite people, eating, drinking, and celebrating in one of the most unique event spaces in all of Simcoe County.
And when the night winds down and the fire is still going and someone's found a lawn game they refuse to put down, everyone agrees that this was not just a wedding. This was an experience. The kind people text about for weeks.
Just 20 minutes from Orillia. About 30 minutes from Barrie. And a million miles from ordinary.

How Much Does a Quayle's Brewery Wedding Cost?
(A Clear, Honest Look — Without Killing the Romance)
Quayle's Brewery offers a uniquely flexible pricing model compared to most wedding venues in the Orillia and Barrie area. Rather than one all-inclusive package, couples choose from distinct venue spaces with their own pricing and inclusions. The Hop Yard Nursery accommodates up to 150 guests with 10 hours of exclusive access from 2:30pm to 12:30am, a stunning white peaked tent with decorative lights, executive washrooms, a private fire pit, and yard games included. The Wedding Ceremony Package adds a private hillside ceremony with a handcrafted arbor, white chairs, signing table, and end of aisle flowers for 2.5 hours of exclusive use.
For smaller gatherings, The Garden accommodates 25 to 100 guests for 5 hours in a charming converted hop yard overlooking a one-acre flower garden, complete with a private bar, oak barrels, and live edge wood tables starting at a more accessible price point. The Loft offers an intimate indoor option for up to 55 guests for 5 hours, with a rustic elegant atmosphere, natural light flooding through an 80-foot cupola, and picturesque views overlooking the hop yards and surrounding valley.
The most important thing to budget for at Quayle's is your external vendors, as catering, photography, DJ, and florals are all arranged independently by the couple. This gives you complete creative control over your wedding experience but does require more planning coordination than an all-inclusive venue. For current venue rental pricing and availability, contacting the Quayle's Brewery team directly is always the best first step.
