IVY RIDGE
Tucked into the rural hamlet of Ivy, Ontario—just 40 minutes north of the GTA and 5 minutes south of Barrie—Ivy Ridge Weddings & Events is a lovingly restored century‑old bank barn brought back to life by the Langford family. Meticulously reconstructed using traditional hand‑hewn beams and mortise & tenon joints, the barn now serves as a rustic‑elegant venue rich in history and modern comforts.
