Bird Sanctuary!

The Sanctuary’s Kennedy Woods (260 Road 3 W, Kingsville, ON) offers the perfect setting for a small outdoor wedding or a private wedding photoshoot. With stunning, scenic locations and affordable rental fees, we’re here to help bring your wedding vision to life. Let us be part of your special day!

Where nature’s beauty becomes a living, breathing part of your celebration.

Kennedy Woods

Nestled within lush, towering sugar maples and open fields and meadows, our wildlife and habitat Sanctuary offers a breathtaking backdrop that feels serene and untouched. Winding walking paths meander through dense trees, their leaves whispering with the wind, creating a peaceful, natural atmosphere for couples and guests alike. Shaded areas, dappled with sunlight, provide a tranquil retreat, perfect for moments of reflection or intimate conversation—where nature’s beauty becomes a living, breathing part of your celebration. At the Sanctuary’s Kennedy Woods Trailhead, the harmony of the environment surrounds you, creating a peaceful, timeless space that will make your special day truly unforgettable.

The Gazebo

Adding to this serene landscape is a newly constructed gazebo, its rustic charm blending effortlessly with the surrounding natural beauty. Standing tall with a corrugated metal roof and sturdy wooden beams, it offers a unique gathering space that enhances the sanctuary’s atmosphere. The gazebo’s open design invites guests to take in the view of the trees and meadows, while the solid wood floor provides a comfortable and elegant setting for vows, speeches, or quiet moments together. It’s a stunning focal point where the forest’s natural beauty and your special day converge into something magical.
