*Update!* As announced on the Nestleton Waters Inn Instagram page on August 29, 2022, the 2022 wedding season was the last for the venue, as they will no longer be offering weddings in 2023.
Nestleton Waters Inn is a wedding venue in Durham Region, located about 1 hour east of Toronto in Nestleton Station, Ontario, a community in the township of Scugog. This elegant estate oversees a scenic pond and offers future newlyweds a Durham wedding venue to host both their wedding ceremony and reception. Nestleton Waters Inn has been recognized with awards including The Knot’s Best Weddings Hall of Fame, Port Perry Reader’s Choice 2020 Diamond winner for Best Banquet Facility, and has been featured on prestigious wedding publications including Style Me Pretty and Wedding Bells.
Situated on a 96-acre farm, this estate wedding venue is a family-designed, hand-built estate that encompasses 7200 square-ft after having taken 4.5 years to complete with the help of community volunteers! There were unexpected twist and turns, as the original plan was to complete construction within 1 year. The Kiezebrink family live and work at the Inn in a private family area and oversee the inn operations to this day. Their charitable endeavours have given them the opportunity to serve in Asia, Africa, South America, and Nunavut, which is why their themed rooms in the Inn reflect their passion for investing in people of all cultures. Their aim is to reciprocate and share their estate’s hospitality with others.
