Glen Oro Farm Wedding Venue
Just outside of Orillia, Ontario there’s place that offers an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life called the Glen Oro Eco Retreat. I had the pleasure of shooting Lauren and Fred’s wedding there in the early summer of 2023.
Nestled amongst towering trees and breathtaking landscapes of Oro-Medonte, this eco-friendly haven is a gem for those seeking tranquility and connection with the environment.
Harmony with Nature
Glen Oro Eco Retreat is designed to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings. It’s nestled within a pristine forested area, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature. From the moment you arrive, you are greeted by towering trees, winding trails, and the soothing sounds of nearby creatures of the forest.

Off-the-Grid
One of the standout features of Glen Oro Eco Retreat is its off-the-grid living experience. This allows guests to disconnect from the outside world and experience a simpler, more sustainable way of living. There are many locations for ceremonies, Lauren and Fred chose a location deep in the woods under the canopy of the surrounding trees.
