Temple's Country Weddings is located just west of Ottawa, in Lanark County. The unique and stately timber-frame reception/dining hall, dazzling flower gardens, with two stunning outdoor ceremony sites nestled in the 77-acres of beautiful, mature sugar bush makes Temple Sugar Bush the perfect setting for the country wedding of your dreams. Temple's captures the rustic natural history of the area and combines it with exquisitely prepared menus and expertly orchestrated events. Whether it’s a summer wedding in the gardens with the butterflies and zinnias or an outdoor winter ceremony with Taffy on snow, Temple Sugar Bush has something to offer every couple.

We currently have several great dates in the Fall of 2025.
