South Pond Farms is beautiful property located in the rolling hills of Bethany, Ontario. Restoring the century old barn took many years and was truly a labour of love. Projects around the farm are ongoing, but a point of pride is our traditional outdoor stone oven built by a local craftsman, which is a nod to the silo that once stood in the same location. Here at South Pond, we believe that local food is the best food. Much of what we serve is from our own gardens and neighbouring farms, prepared with creativity and respect., We embrace a calm connectedness in our little corner of the world, and this is what we strive to share with all our guests.

A classic wedding at South Pond is the quintessential fairytale in the countryside. Walk down the winding aisle through the field to the ceremony site overlooking the pond. Create unforgettable photos on our seventy-five acre property while guests mingle outside by the gardens and take in the scenery during the reception. Then make a grand entrance in our 150 year old restored barn before sitting down and enjoying a farm- fresh intimate dinner. Continue the night of celebration with dancing in the barn.

The South Pond Classic is typically a Saturday night dinner and dance.

Flowers

Our magnificent English cutting garden at South Pond provides the starting point for all our arrangements. Grown with love right on the property our flowers are not only hand selected to represent messages and attributes pertinent to love and marriage, they are also organic, local and eco-friendly.

Flowers can compliment your colour palate, decor, and can also be utilized to help build the overall feeling you want to create on your special day. All flowers have symbolic meaning and, in former times, they were offered as expressions of feelings and emotions - a way to communicate when language failed. When you receive a quote from us, you will also receive a summary of the deeper meaning behind your florals.

Contact danielle@southpondfarms.ca to arrange your complimentary consultation and quote.
