The Norland Historic Estate: A Dream Wedding Venue

If you’ve ever dreamed of a wedding that feels straight out of a storybook, let me introduce you to The Norland Historic Estate. This Southern-style mansion, with its grand architecture, manicured gardens, and towering trees, is easily one of the most breathtaking wedding venues in Canada. Whether you’re envisioning an elegant ballroom reception or an intimate ceremony under the garden gazebo, Norland is the kind of venue that makes wedding magic happen.

A Photographer’s Love Affair with the Norland Historic Estate

Since I started my business, I have wanted to photograph a wedding at the Norland Historic Estate. Seriously, it’s one of those venues that’s so naturally beautiful that it practically photographs itself. The mansion, the gardens, the timeless charm—it’s the perfect backdrop for stunning wedding photos. And the best part? Each couple brings their unique style, which means Norland somehow manages to be both iconic and one-of-a-kind at the same time.

So, when Lacie Paige Photo asked me to second shoot a wedding here, I couldn’t have said yes fast enough! I was SO excited to finally get the chance to capture a wedding at this stunning venue, and let me tell you—it did not disappoint.

Kacie & Jon’s “Til Death Do Us Part” & Disco Ball Dream Wedding

Kacie and Jon’s wedding was the perfect blend of edgy and elegant. They went with a “Til Death Do Us Part” meets disco ball theme, and the result? Pure magic. The black-and-white decor was incredibly classy, giving the day a timeless feel, while the disco elements added that fun, celebratory vibe.

One of the most stunning details was the disco balls outside, which refracted the light in the most mesmerizing way, casting reflections over their handmade signage and even shimmering off Kacie’s dress. They also had two neon signs that tied everything together beautifully—one custom sign reading The McIntoshes behind their head table and another Til Death Do Us Part sign on a floral wall, which made the perfect backdrop for guest photos.

Picture-Perfect Spots for Wedding Photos

One of my favourite things about Norland Historic Estate is that you don’t have to go anywhere else for incredible wedding photos (unless you want to!). With 7,500 square feet of historic charm and a lot of outdoor beauty, there are endless options for jaw-dropping shots.

  • The Front of the Mansion – That classic Southern-style architecture? Absolute perfection for romantic and timeless wedding portraits.
  • The Gardens and Gazebo – If you want that soft, enchanted garden vibe, this is the spot. Plus, the gazebo makes for the dreamiest ceremony location.
  • The Ballroom – Elegant, grand, and filled with gorgeous light—this is where you’ll want to capture the first dance, heartfelt speeches, and all those fun reception moments.
  • The Tree-Lined Pathways – There’s something extra magical about sneaking away for a quiet moment among the estate’s towering trees. Trust me, it’s the kind of setting that turns simple moments into breathtaking memories.

With so many incredible options, your wedding gallery is guaranteed to be filled with variety, elegance, and personality.

More Than Just a Pretty Place

Norland Historic Estate isn’t just about good looks—it’s a full-service wedding venue that takes care of all the little details so you can focus on celebrating. Their on-site catering team is incredible, ensuring your guests enjoy delicious food without you having to lift a finger. And if you have out-of-town guests, the venue’s location near hotels makes travel and accommodations a breeze.

From the moment you step onto the estate to the last song on the dance floor, Norland Historic Estate is the kind of place that makes wedding dreams come true. If you’re looking for a venue that blends historic charm, luxury, and convenience, this might be your perfect match.

So, if you’re planning your wedding and want a venue that feels like a dream come to life, Norland is waiting for you. And if you need a photographer who’s just as obsessed with this place as you are, well, you know where to find me!
