Last reviewed: August 11, 2026. Northbrook Farm Weddings & Events is a Severn Ontario outdoor wedding venue at 3952 Fairgrounds Road, just outside Orillia. Its official website presents the property as a 10-acre setting with gardens, mature trees, lawns, water features and woodland, alongside a framed white reception tent.

The venue is intended for couples planning both ceremony and reception in one place during its stated June-to-mid-October wedding season. Northbrook also advertises non-wedding gatherings, but this profile focuses on the documented wedding offering and the practical questions couples should ask before reserving a date.

Services and specialization

Northbrook Farm Weddings & Events is a venue for wedding ceremonies and receptions. The official site also says it hosts corporate outings and team-building events, anniversary parties and celebrations of life. For weddings, the venue’s own history notes that the site was developed to make it possible for couples to hold their ceremony and reception in one location.

The setting is principally outdoors. The official homepage describes a 10-acre farm with perennial gardens, mature trees, water features, lawns, walled gardens and woodland. A century farmhouse is part of the property’s character, although the site does not say that the house itself is a guest accommodation or reception room. Couples should treat it as a feature of the grounds rather than assume indoor use is included.

Service area and who it may suit

The venue is at 3952 Fairgrounds Road in the Township of Severn, just outside Orillia. Its official FAQ estimates the location at about one hour from the north side of Toronto. That makes it a consideration for couples seeking a rural Simcoe County venue rather than a downtown Orillia event space.

It may suit couples who want the ceremony and reception at the same property and who prefer an outdoor setting with a tented option if weather changes. The maximum capacity stated in the official FAQ is 160 guests. The homepage separately describes the tent as accommodating up to 150 guests, so parties near either threshold should obtain written confirmation of the permitted guest count for their chosen layout and event plan.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A confirmed feature is the venue’s weather contingency: its FAQ states that a 40-by-75-foot tent serves as the backup when it rains. The official site also documents on-site parking, with Northbrook staff assisting guest parking. These are operational features, not endorsements.

The published season is a practical limitation for planning. One official section says weddings run from the first of June through the second weekend in October, while another describes the period as June to mid-October. This supports a seasonal outdoor offering, but couples should ask for the exact dates applicable to the year they want. The official information also does not publish a detailed inclusions list, accessibility specification, catering policy, bar policy or accommodation details.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. The official website does not provide a wedding package rate, minimum spend, deposit amount, tax treatment or an itemized list of included rentals.

Ask Northbrook for a written quote that identifies the date, guest count, hours of access, tent and furniture inclusions, staffing, setup and teardown responsibilities, insurance requirements, payment milestones and cancellation or weather terms. This is particularly important for an outdoor venue, where the tent and contingency plan may affect the final scope.

Contact and booking

The official contact page invites prospective clients to submit its contact form or call to discuss event ideas and arrange a venue tour. The verified phone number is 705-330-5600, and the official address is 3952 Fairgrounds Road, Severn, ON L3V 0Y2.

A site visit is the most useful next step for couples considering Northbrook. It allows them to review the ceremony locations, walk between outdoor spaces and the tent, assess parking and guest flow, and discuss how the backup plan works for their guest count and wedding date.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, confirm the current wedding-season dates, whether the venue is available on the preferred date and the maximum number of guests permitted under the proposed tent layout. Because the official site gives both a 150-person tent figure and a 160-person maximum capacity figure, written clarification is sensible for larger celebrations.

Also confirm what is supplied with the venue rental, the ceremony and reception layout options, rain-plan timing, access for setup and teardown, parking arrangements, washroom access, vendor rules, catering and alcohol arrangements, sound limits, décor restrictions, accessibility needs and the complete payment and cancellation terms. The official FAQ mentions access to a family washroom with lockable cupboards for getting ready; couples needing a larger dedicated preparation suite should ask whether another option is available.

Venue background

Northbrook’s official site describes the present house as dating to 1852 and says the wedding business was founded in 2015. It also states that Northbrook has operated as a venue since 2013, which is an apparent difference in how the business history is framed. This profile does not attempt to reconcile those dates; they are not necessary to assessing a current booking.

What is clear from the official pages is the current identity: Northbrook Farm Weddings & Events operates a Severn property for weddings and other events, provides a direct booking contact, and promotes site tours. Couples can use those direct channels to verify current availability and the specific event terms before making commitments.
