The Drake Devonshire is perfect for couples dreaming of a wedding that blends lakeside romance, elevated cuisine, and relaxed luxury, The Drake Devonshire offers a unique setting in the heart of Prince Edward County. Perched on Lake Ontario’s shores in the charming village of Wellington, this boutique waterfront resort pairs historic character with modern design, creating a celebration space that is both refined and refreshingly down-to-earth.

Housed in a restored 19th-century foundry, Drake Devonshire reflects the County’s creative spirit through bold architecture, curated art, and thoughtful details. The stunning backdrop—lake views, wild shoreline, and vibrant small-town charm—makes every moment feel cinematic, from vows by the water to golden-hour portraits.

Whether planning a breezy summer weekend or a winter wonderland wedding, Drake Devonshire offers magic year-round. In warmer months, couples can exchange vows lakeside and enjoy cocktails on the beach. Autumn brings vineyard hues, while winter’s frozen lake and intimate interiors create a cozy atmosphere for fireside ceremonies and candlelit dinners. The venue beautifully transforms with the seasons, offering flexibility for every celebration style.

With 13 guest rooms and suites, the property is ideal for full buyouts or weekend-long weddings with family and friends. Each room is uniquely designed, blending art-forward touches with luxury linens, serene views, and modern amenities.

The Devonshire’s award-winning Owner’s Suite is a luxurious retreat for those who seek both style and comfort. Featuring what many consider the best view of Lake Ontario in the County from its private, expansive balcony, this grand A-frame suite boasts soaring wood-paneled ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and a lavish bathroom designed for relaxation. Grasscloth wallcovering, sculptural lounge chairs, custom furniture, and original artwork add refined, artistic touches. The impeccable craftsmanship of the gabled ceiling and sweeping lake views make this suite the ultimate escape for couples to prepare and unwind.

Drake Devonshire’s dedicated events team is known for attentive, personalized service. From early planning to final send-off, they ensure every detail is seamless and meaningful—so you can focus on enjoying your celebration.

More than just a venue, Drake Devonshire is a destination where good food, great design, and genuine hospitality come together in every season.
