The natural beauty of Muskoka and a love for spending time with family and friends drew Kirsten and Mike to a plan a weekend wedding at camp Muskoka. Guests spent the weekend gathering around campfires, playing classic camp games, sleeping in camp cabins, and of course attending the incredible wedding.

With the venue chosen, the next steps of planning began. Kirsten and Mike wanted to create a beautiful and elegant atmosphere and have an amazing party. Our designer Rachel worked with Kirsten to create a moodboard and bring it to life, while Olivia our planner, support the couple throughout the year of planning and took care of all the bar details from staffing to custom cocktails.

Guests arrived on Friday night and were welcomed with dinner and drinks and a fun plaid theme. Following dinner guests enjoyed a campfire where the couple was “roasted” by their closest friends. Saturday morning was filled with yoga, camp games, and other outdoor activities.

​In the afternoon guests gathered at the lakefront for a romantic ceremony where a beautiful beam of light peaked through the clouds right as the ceremony started. Kirsten, wore a breathtaking custom gown from Mikaella that was both modern and whimsical, the whole ceremony was absolute perfection. ​​

Cocktail hour followed the ceremony; guests enjoyed custom cocktails and a beer canoe on Pine Hall’s large wraparound balcony that overlooked the lake. When guests entered the reception space they were greeted with tables of flowers, wood, and gold details and candlelight. After touching speeches, the party kicked off with energetic music from the grooms family band (that included his two brothers and father). Guests enjoyed butter tarts for deserts, a classic Muskoka favorite and danced late into the night.

We are so happy to have played a part in bringing Kirsten and Mike's dream wedding to life! We provided this couple with our You’ve Got Style Package, a Custom Bar Package, Day-Of Coordination and Planning Support. A big congratulations to this beautiful and kind couple, we wish you all the best in the years to come and hope your wedding is remembered during all of your summers in Muskoka!
