Venue Spotlight - Miller Lash House
Hello my Lovelies! Today's blog is all about the Miller Lash House, a gorgeous venue in Scarborough that has everything needed for an outdoor wedding! COVID has really made us miss working at our favourite venues, and Miller Lash House is definitely on the top of that list! Here is our interview with Jennifer, one of the fabulous onsite coordinators.
Let’s start with an easy one: Who are you and what do you do (other than being awesome of course)?
I’m Jennifer, one of the onsite coordinators at the Miller Lash House.
Tell us a little, or a lot, about your space.
Miller Lash was built in 1913, founded by wealthy lawyer, Miller Lash. The house was built to the design of the Arts and Crafts movement which crafted homes with simplicity, durability, suitability. This was often the lifestyle lived in that time period. As we are located in the Rouge National Park, Miller Lash House lives in harmony with its natural surroundings.
Why should clients choose your gorgeous venue?
Miller Lash House offers our clients exclusivity for their events no matter how big or small. We are nestled as mentioned in the Rouge National Park, which offers a retreat in city but you’re still in the city. We offer a variety of package options for every budget, complimentary parking, and wireless internet service. We also offer detailed planning, and personalized service from the Manager or Event Coordinator on the day of your event.
How many guests can your venue accommodate?
The indoor space can accommodate up to 60 guests seated, plus dining room and three breakout rooms of smaller size. Reception style setup, we can accommodate 110 guests indoors. For outdoor, which is from May to October, we can accommodate 220 seated in our outdoor tented space. With reception-style setup, we can accommodate 300 guests. In the Field Space, we can accommodate up to 1,000+guests, but additional rentals would be required.
What makes your venue different from all the others?
Definitely the exclusivity.
What is your favourite part of the wedding day or planning process?
We enjoy all parts of planning events for our clients. In particular, our favourite part is seeing our couples ceremonies and traditions. Also being announced as “husband and wife.”
What questions do you wish all couples would ask you?
We wish that all couples would ask us about our referrals for Wedding Planners / Coordinators such as yourself. *Jessica blushes*
What question do you wish couples would stop asking you?
No question to us is a bad question when it comes to our couple’s special day.
What’s the one wedding trend you currently love?
Our favourite trend is when couples do a first look. Our venue is beautiful for these pictures and our couples get to enjoy more time with their guests.
What’s the one wedding trend you could do without?
An old trend that we could do without is confetti. This is because we are in beautiful green space and it is harmful to the wildlife and environment around our beautiful venue.
What’s the one piece of advice you give all your couples?
Get a wedding planner! Also, enjoy your day, because it goes so quickly. Take five minutes to enjoy with each other away from the crowd.
Thank you so much to Jennifer for sitting with us and telling us so much about your amazing venue! You can connect to Miller Lash House here or us here.
