Why host your Meeting at Bellamere Winery and Event Centre
Reason 1: Because special offsite group events work
Over 80% of those surveyed at a form for people performance management and measurements at a major university indicated they preferred a planned special event as opposed to cash as their top ranked motivational tool. Findings show non cash award programs work better than cash to reinforce organisational values and culture. They improve teamwork and encourage specific work behaviours. Bellamere has an array of classes that will appeal to a full spectrum of interest groups-wine education classes, cooking demonstration workshops, wine tastings etc
Reason 2: Because Bellamere isn�t your normal generic hall or meeting room
Location! Location! Location! With lush landscaping on our acreage of rolling land, 2 unique timber-framed buildings, a natural system of waterfalls , private outside patios and free parking, you can be sure that Bellamere�s unique facilities are just right for you. Our historic grounds and expansive property is the antidote to that clinical feeling that goes with being stuck in a generic down town meeting room. These features and the ambiance of our Winery make Bellamere a truly unique experience and it doesn�t hurt that we�re never going to run out of wine.
Reason 3: Because food is an important part of any event
If you are looking for something beyond standard banquet food fare, choose Bellamere for the culinary artistry provided by Custom Cuisine at the Winery. Custom ensures our commitment to quality, presentation, freshness of food and a calibre of service which meets the importance of your occasion, all while creating an unforgettable impression for you and your guests.
Reason 4: Because price is important
Price is not the only factor to be considered, but it is important. While our overall price is surprisingly competitive when compared on an apples to apples basis, our food and venue stand alone when compared with all alternatives.
Last reason: Do you really need another reason?
OK Bellamere provides all the amenities for an unforgettable Event like a unique location, great food, service oriented staff and competitive pricing but let's not forget our experience and comprehensive event services as well which can simplify the planning process and hopefully reduce any undue stress.
Now if thats not enough check out what people are saying...

I wanted to write to thank you all so much for everything you did to make our day such a success. I know we had lots of last minute needs on Sunday and I really appreciated your patience and helpfulness. Although we don't have our final numbers in yet, we do know that we grossed more than we ever have in the past.
I had so many compliments about your buildings - everyone agreed that it was a perfect venue for our event. I hope that our event helps increase recognition about Bellamere.
Thanks again guys - you made my job much easier and much more fun. I look forward to doing it again next year!
Tammy and Dane August 22, 2009
We are well, still on our high from our perfect wedding! We can't thank you and everyone at Bellamere enough, it was such a wonderful day. We've had many people tell us our wedding was the BEST wedding they have ever been too, with the food, the ambience, the building, the scenery, everything was top notch...
Lindsay and James September 5, 2009
I just wanted to let you know what a splendid job you did on Saturday for my neice, Lindsay's wedding (and her sweet hubby James)! Your hospitality and caring shone throughout the whole day. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Bellamere is a remarkable setting for afairy tale wedding. I had so much fun snapping the hundreds of pictures that documented the day.
thank you also for the incredible weather. That was part of the package, wasn't it?
Just to give you an example of how your staff cares for your clients and guests, I'll share this little story with you. It was very close to the end of the evening (around 12:30am) when my son, Wally and I decided we really did need to sample the wedding cake. There weren't any forks left at the wedding cake buffet table (because it was so late). Since most people had left that were seated next to us we also decided that fingers were invented first. Rude as it may seem. But it was only a few minutes into our indulgence when a handsome young gentleman from your staff appeared at our table to provide us with forks. We hadn't requested them, he just anticipated our needs. It seems insignificant but it will always stick in my mind, regarding the level of service that you provided, even that late into the event.
Thank you again Karen and your staff for creating memories for our family on that very special day.
Tony and Laura September 18, 2009
As discussed on the phone last week, I like to pass along a quick thank you to the staff of Bellamere who helped put our wedding together. With every wedding there are all types of stress and pressure involved, however in the end both Laura and I can honestly say it was well worth it :) We both woke up Saturday (day after the wedding) and couldn't believe how well everything went. Since the wedding, we have received comments from almost everyone who attended, praising the service & food of Bellamere and the decor work by Russell. Even the music selection by the DJ was flawless!
We knew the wedding would be fun and amazing at your winery, however we didn't picture it to be as amazing! Everyone from the chef, bartender, food service, etc.. should be very proud of their work and Bellamere itself. I will recommend the winery to anyone seeking an event centre for both personal and business events.
BTW, you should really sell your wine, everyone asked if they could purchase wine the following day...
Maria and Bernie September 26, 2009
Thank you! I hope you enjoy your planter. You also are a very special person who has a wonderful gift of making other people feel like they are so very important.
We had such a great time on Saturday! Your staff had a great deal to do with the success of our reception ... they were so accommodating, friendly, professional & courteous ... we could not be happier!
The pear wine was a huge success and everyone that we talked to raved about the sensational food!
You all deserve so much credit! You are very good and what you do & it was an absolute pleasure to deal with people and an organization that is so centered on customer service.
Thank you for helping to make our wedding absolutely perfect!,
Words cannot express how happy we are with the service we received from the entire staff of the Bellamere Winery. Every request was accommodated without reservation. We were made to feel as if our wedding was the most important event for your winery during the planning process. During the reception, we as well as all our guests were made to feel equally important. Our guests also enjoyed the wine tremendously and the food exceeded our expectations! Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding so special! You are amazing at what you do!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

What a perfect day we had on Nov. 7th. All the very important people in Robyn & Tim’s life were there to celebrate and the sun was shining. Who could ask for more?
We would like to thank you and the staff at Bellamere for a job well done. You gave us a feeling of confidence that our needs would be met. We were able to enjoy the party and our guests without concerns. Wayne was great and set the tone for a warm, relaxed and very special gathering. Please let everyone know how happy we are.
Thank you for your help, especially with pinning of corsages and boutonnières. The rose petals down the isle looked beautiful.
