Reviews on in Huron

Hessenland Outdoor Ceremony Photo

Huron County a hot spot for gorgeous outdoor weddings

In our search for the best of the best in Huron County, we talked to some of the wedding vendors we know and trust to find out more about what this vast and beautiful countryside has to offer. Here's what we found...

Luann Taylor, Owner of Luann's Flowers & Gifts in Goderich, says that Huron County is "Ontario's West Coast", an area likely known best for its scenery, hospitality, accommodations, charm and beaches.

Many couples set forth on their wedding days for outdoor photos, but sometimes finding the perfect location can be difficult. This doesn't seem to be the case for Huron County as Luann told us that some of the best locations for outdoor photographs are Goderich Train Station, Blyth Greenway Trail, Goderich Beach, Bayfield Pioneer Park and The Benmiller Inn's gardens – the last three of which can also be used for outdoor ceremonies.

Hessenland Bride under GazeboSome other fabulous outdoor wedding locations in Huron County, according to Luann:
- Harbour Park in Goderich
- Bayfield Town Hall
- Blue Water Shores
- And of course, everyone's favourite, Hessenland Country Inn

She adds that Huron Shores and many of the lovely old churches in Goderich and Bayfield are also gorgeous indoor locations for both ceremonies and receptions.

Nancy Snell, Owner of NJS Design & Party Rentals in Clinton, agreed with Luann's photography locations and added that on top of the Goderich train station, Blyth also has one that's great for outdoor photos. Nancy adds that some great indoor locations include St. Peter's Catholic Church or St. James in Seaforth, both of which have balconies for photos.

But the coolest thing that Nancy told us about is The Livery in Goderich, which is a stage theatre that can be rented out for wedding receptions. 
 
Nancy lives and works in Huron County. She explains, "Huron and Perth County has the best network of vendors… we offer everything that is available in the city with one great advantage – you will likely deal with the owner themselves when you book your services/products. As small businesses we have a vested interest is making every event a success."

  • Subject: Brand new, beautiful wedding dress for sale! - by: Natasha King
    Hi everyone! I have a brand new, never-worn wedding dress for sale. I bought it a while ago, but recently changed wedding ideas from formal to extremely informal, so now won't be needing it. It is a strapless ivory gown, with aloncon lace covering mikado silk. This romantic gown is pretty hard to find, so you can be sure that it will be very unique! It is a lovely gown for a wedding during any season, and goes with pretty much any theme you are envisioning. Size: 8, altered to a 6/7 Price: with alterations, the dress cost close to $1300. As it has never been worn, any reasonable offers will be considered... I'm all about negotiating:) Please see attached pictures, and let me know if you're interested! I look forward to hearing from you, and happy wedding-planning! P.S. I couldn't find any pictures online (like I said, hard to find!), so I only have ones of me in the sample store one. http://www.theweddingring.ca/images/fbfiles/images/wedding_dress_3.jpg http://www.theweddingring.ca/images/fbfiles/images/wedding_dress_1.jpg http://www.theweddingring.ca/images/fbfiles/images/wedding_dress_2.jpg
