“My partner and I wanted an all inclusive venue in the neighbourhood, with a beautiful garden, some retro charm, an outdoor patio, and personalized tasty food & drink options, all within our budget. We weren’t sure it was possible but the Momiji Garden and Hastings Room were the PERFECT venues for our ceremony and reception. The PNE team was incredible to work with; very professional, detail oriented, responsive, and kind!  We wish we could do it all over again!” – Olivia & Kyle

 

“What a fabulous venue the PNE Hastings Room is for a wedding. So perfect for the ceremony & reception as well as the beautiful grounds for pictures. Because it is an all-in-one venue, the day flows perfectly without ever having to leave the grounds. The PNE Coordinator was amazing organizing and taking care of every detail from the initial planning to the final clean up. Her suggestions and attention to detail was invaluable to making the day come off without a hitch. Thank you all who made this day memorable for family, friends and most of all the Bride and Groom!” —Mother of the Bride, Virginia Robinson

 

“We had our daughter’s wedding in the Hastings Room at the PNE. Our daughter wanted a wedding on Friday the 13th with her wedding pictures taken during Fright Nights. The photos couldn’t have turned out any better than they did. And the experience was amazing. The dinner they served was outstanding. We are still hearing from family and friends that the food was sooo good! From the caterers to the staff in the park, the whole PNE team was exceptional. It was so nice to not have to worry about anything and to just be able to enjoy the wedding, as we were in very capable hands. A big Thank you to the PNE team.” – Mother of the Bride, Michelle
