Location, Location, Venue!

We have chosen our location for our ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and dance!
The Craigleith Ski Club Lodge, in Craigleith, Ontario, just outside of the Village at Blue Mountain, Collingwood.
The spectacular cathedral wooden ceilings, vast room was magnificent! (will post photos soon)
This is the description taken from their webpage:
Rustic Charm
Our climate controlled Base Lodge boasts more than 26,000 square feet of space featuring soaring cathedral ceilings, stunning handcrafted woodwork and awe-inspiring stone fireplaces. The flagstone patio situated outdoors at the base of the hill is an ideal place to host your party, or you can decorate the inside of the lodge for the wedding reception of your dreams. Your guests can relax on the balcony of the Georgian Bay Lounge while enjoying the panoramic views of Georgian Bay. The Lodge has the capacity to host parties with up to 400 people. We welcome you to hold your ceremony on the property, and our indoor and outdoor venues provide endless possibilities for your special day.
We went and chatted with Jake Hibbs their Caterer and event organizer. He was magnificent.
For the dinner option we choose to do a served specialty salad, a buffet dinner with shaved beef and chicken, then a plated specialty dessert. We choose a very specific menu for the cocktail hour, and for the late evening snack. We can't wait to go back and do taste testing!
Here is what they said about their catering:

Shirwood Food Services is the exclusive caterer to Craigleith Ski Club. They offer a wide variety of menu options including buffet style meals, gourmet specialties, delectable desserts, classic hors d’oeuvres and much, much more. Shirwood Foods proprietor Jake Hibbs promises incomparable service with a personal touch. Jake and his friendly staff will make your event something special. Shirwood Foods Executive Chef Richard Crevier has been preparing culinary delights for 20 years, working for the likes of Cranberry Resort, Delta Toronto Airport Hotels and the Toronto Congress Centre.

We are very excited and thrilled at this extravegant venue!
