The Guild Inn Estate

We went to look at this venue for my daughters wedding. What a beautiful place! Ended up staying for lunch at the Bickford Bistro which was very tasty. The sales staff were extremely helpful and answered all of our questions. The venue and grounds are spectacular - like nothing I have seen in the city before! Really Looking forward to my daughters big day next summer

Such a wonderful venue for a wedding. The staff is extremely accommodating and willing to help in any way they can. Our wedding coordinator, Francesca, was an absolute dream! She was a huge help, super organized and always on top of everything. We highly recommend The Guild Inn Estate if you are looking for a beautiful, open space with great service. Cheers!

We had tremendous difficulty getting timely responses from the representatives of this venue. We received no confirmation of our scheduled appointment, even after several phone calls and emails. After travelling nearly 450 km to attend our appointment to view the venue, the sales representative had booked a conflicting appointment. In regard to the lack of replies to our many phone calls and emails, we were told that "the phones were down". To the credit of the sales representative, we were still shown the venue, which is modern and beautiful. We decided to request a formal quote, which was provided. Our follow-up questions again went unanswered.I would strongly caution anyone from booking this venue. While it is beautiful and reasonably priced, they appear severely ill-equipped to execute a well-organized event. It is incredibly frustrating to engage with an business that seems to have no respect for the time of the consumer. Hopefully, with more experience, they can improve on some of these shortcomings.

I would not advise anyone to host an event here PERIOD! To start, the days leading to the event the staff were almost impossible to get a hold of to finalize details, which left us in the dark as to what is going on. They were not even able to tell us how many chairs the event space can hold. The DAY before the wedding I was told that we must clear the venue MUCH earlier than what was discussed in meetings. Seems like they booked a last minute event after ours. They did NOT have a bridal suite accessible for us the morning of. You would think that would be KEY when the event is a wedding!!! We were told that the bridal suite has stuff stored in it. The day of we were rushed out of the ceremony space before we were done, and to add insult to injury the staff was VERY rude to our family members throughout the WHOLE day, even at some points PUSHING people. During lunch they did not have enough plates to accommodate, which led to further delays and many guests left hungry, the food in buffet trays was not being replenished until family took it on their own to go into the kitchen and ask kitchen staff to bring food out. I had guests tell me the staff advised there was no water when people asked for it. They did not provide water stations in the outdoor ceremony space (you would think they would seeing it was a HOT July morning). For a company who owns and operates many social function venues you would think they would be able to organize and coordinate an event they claim to be professionals at! Besides all of that, by far I am disappointed in the way the staff treated our families. They showed us ZERO respect, for a paying customer who was promised a fairy tale wedding at their prestige event venue I am very VERY disappointed in the way they operate. Sad thing is after our event, I was talking with others who had very similar experience. I would highly discourage anyone thinking about using Guild Inn Estate as their wedding venue.
