Notes from the Bride on what she would done differently:If I could go back and do it again, I think the only thing I would change would be to have everything done for me the morning of the wedding. I left a lot up to myself to do, for example, I picked up the flowers, I drove myself and the bridesmaids to do our hair, I did my own make-up.. Stuff like that. I found that to be quite stressful!
About this Ontario wedding venue: Timber Run Golf Course is a full service Banquet Hall ideal for weddings, receptions, conferences and of course golfing. They can accommodate 230 plus people for dinner with additional space upstairs.
From the Bride:I picked this venue because me and Daniel wanted something rustic, and I fell in love with the timber frame, and huge fireplace! It was so beautiful, and the golf course was so nice to take pictures on. We loved the people there as well! The wedding coordinator was amazing, and she helped us out so much finding the cheapest way to do things and she was very accommodating to our needs.
With a handmade giant die, Daniel and Chelsea played The Rye-Die game at their wedding. Someone would toss the giant die and the bride and groom would kiss, sing or do something silly. A great way to entertain your guests and have fun at the wedding.
