Country Charm at its Best

Setting up for an outdoor ceremony at Evergreen Village Evergreen Village

Evergreen Village emanates country charm in every way. Located on a beautifully manicured country lot, it is prolific with well-established trees and gardens, transporting you out of the bustle and busyness of everyday life to a more relaxed and pastoral setting.

The eight-acre property has been transformed into a wedding venue with almost endless options for ceremonies, receptions, photoshoots, and places to chill. 

The main hall is an indoor structure designed to look like a white wedding tent, though it’s anchored with a solid wood framework to prevent the inclement weather hazards that regular tents are prone to. The sides of the tent can be opened, closed, or screened to keep the bugs out. Heating throughout is provided for cooler nights. A permanent hardwood dance floor and stage grace the front of the 5,000-square-foot hall. From ceremony to end of reception, all clean-up is looked after by the venue staff.

Your guests can enjoy a cobblestone patio with outdoor bar, cocktail tables, and brick fireplace.
Within a short walk sits the original homestead, dating back 100 years. The home is quaintly decorated with antiques of the era and still contains all of the original woodwork. The house is empty of residents and makes the perfect spot for bridal parties and groomsmen to take pictures. The house’s expansive front veranda faces into an outdoor courtyard, one of ten potential spots on the yard for your ceremony. 

Catering is provided by the owner, Pete Schellenberg, who has many years of catering experience. With a vast variety of entrees, salads, sides, and desserts, no one is ever short on options or food to feed a hungry crowd. He offers eight kinds of chicken, roast beef, beef, tenderloin and more, and everything is fresh and made from scratch. 

“We put a lot of care into the serving of the food,” says Schellenberg. “For example, if your meal’s at 6:30, at 6:25 the chicken is coming out of the oven. It’s hot and fresh, not sitting under a warmer.”

The desserts, he adds, are never frozen or out of a package.

The venue includes a full bar area with bartenders provided. Because you bring in the alcohol, clients control the prices.

“At a lot of venues you have to buy your alcohol and drinks, which might be set at $6 per drink or $32 for a carafe of wine,” says Schellenberg. “Essentially, after gratuities and taxes, [it could be] $40 for a bottle of wine. Here, you pay your corkage and maybe $12 for a bottle of wine and you’re good to go.”

The Evergreen Village is located just 15 minutes south of the Canadian Mint on Highway 59.
