The New Niagara Falls for
Intimate Weddings and Honeymoons

There is an oasis three and a half hours north of Toronto, in a place at Algonquin Park that has been gathering quite a fan base over the last few years. Couples Resort boasts as being the only lakeside 5 Star Resort in Ontario, as awarded by Canada Select. 48 Ultra Luxury Accommodations and an Organic spa, spread out on 15 acres caressing the shores of Galeairy Lake. ’ÄúThe resort has been transformed over the last 40 years. My parents bought it as a lodge and today our resort rivals the best in North America with Luxury and Service well suited for Honeymooners,’Äù owner John Sorensen described.

Amber Luckasavitch started with the resort nine years ago as a member of the wait team. She worked her way to becoming the Wedding Coordinator. One of her challenges in planning weddings was finding an Officiate to perform the ceremony. ’ÄúThe last thing you want is a bride and groom worrying about someone to marry them and if they are going to show up,’Äù she said. She took the reigns into her own hands and signed up for a Wedding Commissioner course in Sauble Beach. Upon course completion she brought her certificate to town council for approval. Amber is now a Clerk Designated Marriage Commissioner.

So here comes the bride at Couples Resort. All the arrangements can be made with Amber from flowers to cake and photographer and the location is out-standing ’Äì overlooking the lake.

Imagine an intimate ceremony of 10 and to follow, a four-course gourmet dinner and wedding cake for dessert. Then, after all the celebrations are done the newly married couple head off to their suite with their own private hot tub on their deck and a wood burning fireplace to set the mood. The next morning they can even enjoy breakfast in bed! ’ÄúCouples Resort really offers romance and it is serendipitous here,’Äù Amber said. ’ÄúIt is their day and people who come here don’Äôt want complicated, they don’Äôt want all the stress and worry and hassle ’Äì they want stress free, and that’Äôs exactly what they get!’Äù
