Wedding Ceremony

My husband and I got married at At the Schoolhouse on May 24 2025, and Isabela and the rest of the staff delivered a magical and unforgettable evening. As the bride, I felt overwhelmed at the prospect of organizing a whole wedding, and this venue relieved most of that pressure! They handled the ceremony, the reception, the food, the bar, the decorations, and even sourced flowers for my bouquet! They got us in touch with a wonderful officiant, and they asked us questions about our preferences that we hadn’t even considered!
I am so grateful to have had Isabela’s help in bringing everything together – I can’t imagine doing it all by myself! The website was a bit clunky at times, but it was so helpful to have a system for the RSVPs and the seating chart.
Our wedding day was amazing. The staff was incredible, from the beginning of the day when my bridesmaids and I gathered upstairs to do our hair and makeup, to the attentive serving of dinner and drinks, and making sure my husband and I had what we needed.
Our friends and family all had such a wonderful time – we’ve been consistently complimented for how nice our small wedding was.
I highly recommend getting married at At the Schoolhouse, especially if you’re planning to have a small wedding and you’d like to have some of the details sorted by a professional! The staff at At the Schoolhouse will take care of the logistics and allow you to focus on enjoying your special day.

If you want a stress free wedding planning experience followed by a beautiful wedding, look no further.

We had an amazing experience working with the At The Schoolhouse team. My husband and I live in the UK and wanted to travel back home for a small wedding with our closest friends and family. We were recommended to At The Schoolhouse and it was exactly what we were looking for. They really take care of everything, the only thing we had to do was sort out a photographer and send wedding invitations. They do literally everything else! Living abroad and not having to think about decor, flowers, food, or cake was a dream.

They have great packages to choose from and we opted for the "Angel of the Morning" brunch package. Once that was all set, we got access to an online planning portal where we could share ideas and select items for our wedding. I could rattle on and on about how easy the planning process was.

Overall, everything was absolutely perfect. The officiant is lovely, the food and drink was delicious, the setting was perfect. Everything felt so personal and the team took care of us so well.

I cannot recommend this place enough!

My fiance (now wife!) and I live out West, but wanted to get married near Ottawa as much of our family live near here and it would be easier for our older family members to have our big day near them rather than making them travel.

As we would be so far away, we wanted to find a venue that could handle the planning and the setup for us, and At the Schoolhouse delivered exactly what we were hoping for. Izabella was very helpful in getting everything ready and helping to make sure we were ready for our wedding.

On the day we couldn't have been happier. The venue looked amazing, they were very helpful and accommodating for all of our needs, the ceremony went great, the food was delicious, everyone had a wonderful time. The place is small and intimate but with more than enough space to not feel crowded. The event was perfect from start to finish and the staff did a great job of making sure everyone was well tended to.

A wonderful experience and I highly recommend them!

My wife and I celebrated our 24th Anniversary at the Schoolhouse in Munster. I contacted them a few days prior to confirm reservations and asked if they had could have some Champagne for us. They pulled through with shining colors. Delicious Champagne, amazing food. Incredible service. Very cozy, we were seated on the balcony. My wife gets cold easily, and she was very thankful how warm and cozy it was. A wonderful evening. I highly recommend you take your loved one out for a special evening. Thank you so much to the hosts, you gave us a special anniversary night that is at the very top of our list.

Izabela and Tony hosted an absolutely magnificent wedding for myself and my wife. It exceed all of our expectations.

If you're looking for a small, fairly priced wedding venue in the Ottawa area that will work with you to make your special day feel even more special, I cannot recommend At the Schoolhouse enough.

Au Vieux Moulin feels like walking into a fairy tale. Its charming grounds filled with nature created the perfect atmosphere for such a wonderful wedding day. Caroline and her family's kindness and attentiveness is unmatched and makes the whole process much easier. Au Vieux Moulin is highly recommended to any couple dreaming of having a perfect wedding.

We had the privilege of using this beautiful one of a kind venue this past Saturday for our wedding. Even if you aren't from the Montreal area, I'd still recommend this place to you. It looks unreal, a real life painting. This place is the perfect place for anyone looking for a romantic styled wedding. All our guests were blown away. We also used their recommended caterer, and we still have guests telling us it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. To top off what is already so uniquely beautiful, the couple who runs this venue is unmatched. Wholesome, kind, attentive to the bride and groom, organized, respectful, and I could go on. Caroline and Doug love what they do, and it shines through Au Vieux Moulin. When planning a wedding, it's important to love your venue. And if you go visit, I guarantee just the venue itself will make you fall in love enough. But the people behind it, it really became a no brainer for me. Caroline, I appreciate you so much! I hope to be back someday soon! ❤️

My husband and I had our wedding here in August 2019. I don't have enough amazing things to say about this venue. Caroline and Doug did such an amazing job. The venue is gorgeous and level of service that Caroline provided was out of this world. We had the Miller's Love package which included catering by Mackoli Catering (some of the best food I've had!). Caroline thought of everything from priority parking for reduced mobility guests to special cocktails served immediately following the ceremony. She ensured that our wedding day went off without a hitch. The vendors she works with and recommends are excellent and affordable. Our expectations were exceeded every step of the way!

This is a beautiful setting for a wedding. I've worked here many times and the staff is very kind and accommodating. They even gave me some nice suggestions for locations for the wedding pictures - little corners of the property that I might not have discovered on my own. Rain or shine, this is a great wedding venue not far from Montreal.

Great place. Friendly hosts. A beautiful place to celebrate a marriage.

Kin experience offered a seamless experience by assisting with our event. Met every need and demand, answered in a timely manner and made sure everything was running smooth. Even after the event they made sure we had a good time and everything was up to stabdard

Really cool spot for hosting event shoutout intro to expo on ig

Danced my way into the New Year from dusk till dawn. My feet are questioning my life choices, but hey, who needs sleep when you can dance under the stars until they turn into sunrise coffee cups? 🌃💃☕

Hosted a conference at Kin Experience last November and my organization team and I really appreciated the timely responses from Max. The venue itself is charming and holds every amenity needed for snack bars as well as chairs and tables for guests. They were really flexible in terms of letting us set us and cleaning out too which helped the event go smoothly. This is a venue we will definitely keep in mind for next time! Thank you again!

Amazing venue! The staff very helpful and kind. They catered to my needs and there was no such thing as a bad question. I def will rent again. Thanks Collectif MTL 👏🏾

We chose Cornerstone for our wedding because we really wanted to get married outside in front of the mountains. Not only was it perfect in that regard, they also have everything you could ever need for your big day!! So many different options to make it exactly what you want! So many of our guests have told us, our wedding was very much us!! We could not have imagined our day any better! Jade was absolutely fantastic! We never thought of what was happening next once throughout the day/evening because Jade had everything under control! Honestly, the smoothest wedding planning experience and could not recommend Cornerstone enough! Definitely worth every penny!!

Beautiful venue. It is expensive, but Cornerstone takes care of virtually everything, so most of the stress of planning and organizing is taken care of for you. The outdoor ceremony location is the reason why we booked this place, and it was absolutely beautiful, there was a little drama from the rain, but wouldn't change it for anything. The indoor reception area was beautiful as well, and worked perfectly for us. Our coordinator, Becky, was amazing, and really went above and beyond to make sure everything was customized to our liking and everything went smoothly on the day. Couldn't have had a better experience!

Jade and the cornerstone staff made our wedding a spectacular event. From our guests, we haven't heard anything short of it being like a fairy tale wedding. Ours was hosted at the ranch and the cornerstone theater, thankfully with the cooperation of weather we were able to see our plans through - but it gave us the peace of mind to know cornerstone offers a backup plan of using the theater for the reception. Highly recommend every couple consider Cornerstone weddings for a wedding in the mountains!

Our Wedding Coordinator Courtney went above and beyond through our entire wedding planning process! Our guests raved about the food and the views from the rooftop ceremony and reception area. The in-house DJ played the perfect set for our group, and communicated well with us throughout the night. Courtney made sure to finalize every little detail with us prior to the day of and the planning process was a breeze. The entire staff were amazing to deal with and the chef even made our little guy his own special meal which was such a nice touch. Courtney was waiting with champagne for us after the ceremony and made sure myself and my husband were happy and taken care of. The venue is new and absolutely stunning. I can’t say enough good things about the team and venue at the Vista!

Location is great. Wedding Coordinator was lovely and really tried but…….makes sure you have what they promise you in writing. The venue was not completed as promised and unfortunately Cornerstone didn’t really seem to care how this impacted our wedding. Their response was “sorry out of our control”. No effort to rectify things like excavators - yes plural sitting where the promised lawn was to be! Orange cones and broken paver stones at the entrance surrounded by temporary fencing. Each of these elements visible in almost all outside and inside photos! Again there was ZERO communication before the wedding like “we just want to let you know the venue is not completed as promised”. Nothing. When we showed up the day before the wedding we were offered a meeting with the general manager but then after waiting she didn’t bother to come meet with us even tho she was in the building. They just didn’t care. They just kept saying that everything was out of their control. Hardly satisfying. Maybe things will get better and yes the location is beautiful but my recommendation would be to go with a venue like The Gem that take the visual asthetics of your wedding day seriously. Not just the outside, inside the venue there was a hole in the ceiling where a light fixture was meant to be and the bar is glasses on rolling racks 🤦‍♀️. Unbelievably ugly and super disappointing.

Used Fork + Farm for a recent corporate Grand Opening and they are nothing short of amazing. I've used many caterers in Calgary....Jen actually took the time to meet with me first to view our massive spaces that were to be catered that evening, she understood the challenges and she was proactive in creating a plan.
She came up with a menu that everyone gave the most impressive feedback on, and helped me to plan our dealerships with food stations to keep people touring the spaces. Their charcuterie cart was a HUGE hit, the pizza forno was unbelievable, and their beef sliders and duck dumplings - mouth watering! She worked with my other vendors (beer trucks, wine providers, etc.) to execute the most seamless event for over 425 guests.
They even accommodated, fully ordered, and served a last minute switch out of hi-balls to canned cocktails, sourced locally, (which is important to our business).
Their service staff is unbeatable and go above and beyond. I will definitely use Fork + Farm again in the future and recommend them for any event. Jen will take the care to develop the best menu to impress your guests and her and her staff are unbeatable.
100% recommend.

Outstanding. We’ve had the pleasure of working with Madison to curate our perfect wedding menu. My fiancé and I just had our tasting, vibes were immaculate. Madison and the entire fork + farm team are so on point! We can’t wait for our wedding.

I honestly cannot believe the gall of this company.

TL;DR - Ruined a wedding, Fork + Farm blamed the groom.

We hired Fork and Farm for a wedding last month, heard nothing but good things, guests were so excited for the food. We double and triple checked with the company making sure there was enough for 80 people, we did not have a budget, and we just gave them a credit card to bill.

Day of the wedding, all the food was still wrapped in plastic, and then everyone from fork and farm left, long before the reception started. That was interesting, but we thought nothing of it. As we unwrap everything and tables start lining up, we quickly realize there is not enough food for everyone. (Keep in mind, we only had 70 people at the wedding, we ordered for 80.)

We tried to call them. Multiple times, no answer, no help day of. So we had to order pizza for everyone. Some people had to leave early not getting ANY FOOD! If you're an immigrant, like my family is, that's a huge deal. Not good.

We called fork and farm multiple times, hearing different stories about how they mixed up the order, with 0 accountability, 0 remorse, and tons of throwing it back in our faces.

Here's what the groom had to say:

"There was no accountability from them. They claimed we had said early on that the order was for a lawn bowling event and a standing affair, which was never the case. From the start, I told the coordinator it was for our wedding reception, and she even congratulated us, so it was very clear. They also kept saying that because we didn’t have it in writing that it was a reception, there was no proof. The entire order was placed over the phone, and every time I spoke with her it was by phone. Before placing the order, I specifically asked if the amount would be enough for multiple rounds of food for 80–90 people. She reassured me that it would be. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case, and we ran out of food. In hindsight, it was my mistake to put full trust in her assurances without written confirmation, but I was relying on her professional guidance."

Disgusting behavior, yes I'm talking to you now Fork and Farm. You absolutely should be ashamed of yourselves. If you're reading this. Stay away!!!

Fork and Farm catered our wedding in Golden, BC and nothing could have been better. From the get go, the planning was fun, custom, and the communication was always quick and clear. Because our wedding venue didn't have an onsite kitchen, we needed a company with a mobile kitchen and we are so grateful we found F+F. The staff were kind, professional, and weeks later all of our guests are talking about how it was the best wedding food they have ever had! We did a plated dinner and were able to offer our guests three options that were all raved about. They also did 4 passed canapés during our cocktail hour and made sure that we had some packaged up for us during our photos so we didn't go hungry (so important on your wedding day)!! Thank you to Laura and team for everything, you made our day so special.

Fork + Farm catered our wedding on July 10, 2021, and they were AMAZING!! Nicole and the team were awesome to work with from the first day we met. From the initial meeting, the team created an experience we’ll never forget. The team is professional, accommodating, helpful, and go above and beyond to create a wonderful and unforgettable experience. 😊

The food, service and presentation were outstanding and exceeded our expectations. Our guests are still raving about the food and even said it was the BEST food they've ever had at a wedding. Fork + Farm also made our wedding cake, and not only did it taste delicious, but it looked beautiful. The bartenders and catering staff were also so much fun and really added to the atmosphere.

We are so happy with how everything turned out and would highly recommend Fork + Farm. Thank you so much to Nicole and the Fork + Farm team for the top-notch service, being part of our special day, and going above and beyond to make it amazing! 😊

We had our wedding at Harding Waterfront Estate and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue. The estate itself is absolutely stunning, from the waterfront views to the beautiful architecture, it felt elegant, timeless, and intimate all at once.

What truly made our experience exceptional, though, was the incredible service. Joan, our main contact for the venue, was a dream to work with. She was so kind, responsive, and on top of every little detail. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Joan made the whole process smooth and stress-free, we always felt like we were in good hands.

Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful everything was, and we’re so happy we chose this venue for such a special day. I can’t recommend this property enough. Everything from the setting to the staff was beyond amazing.

Harding Waterfront Estate is one of those places that feels like magic the moment you arrive. As a photographer, I absolutely adore shooting here, the soft lakeside light, the grand, inviting estate, and the peaceful, romantic setting make it a dream. There’s something about the way the sun glows through the trees in the late afternoon that just makes every photo feel extra special. The mix of natural beauty and timeless architecture gives so much variety without ever needing to leave the grounds. I leave each time feeling like I’ve captured something really special, this venue has a quiet magic that shows up in every frame.

We had this place booked a year and a half out without even visiting it in person! Over the last five months or so, we've been going back and forth with our coordinator Joan, over a few phone calls, a single in-person meeting at our tasting and a giant email thread. Joan was integral to our big day and to everything running smoothly. We opted for the buffet and thoroughly enjoyed it both on the night of and at our tasting. The food is all anyone could talk about in the following days so shoutout to the chefs who did an amazihng job! The venue and its grounds are truly beautiful and I could not have asked for better service from Joan, Taylor and the entire team!

Harding Waterfront Estate in Burlington is a spectacular venue for wedding photography! With its stunning waterfront views, elegant gardens, and beautiful indoor spaces, it offers endless opportunities for breathtaking photos. The atmosphere is both sophisticated and intimate, providing the perfect setting for capturing those special moments. The staff is always professional and ensures everything runs smoothly, making the day stress-free for couples and photographers alike. Whether shooting by the water or within the beautifully landscaped grounds, Harding Waterfront Estate is an exceptional location for couples looking for a timeless and picturesque venue.

Nice location close by the Park and lakefront with a view. You can enjoy a nice quiet nature walk around this area in the morning. Overall the green space and estate is stunning.

We had the pleasure of attending a seminar at the Lodge of Queen Place, located on Queen Street West, and it was a truly memorable experience. The venue is a beautiful mix of artistic charm and contemporary design, making it perfect for both professional events and special celebrations.

The atmosphere is rich with character – blending a sense of nostalgia with creative, modern touches. Each space within the lodge is thoughtfully designed, offering a unique visual experience that sparks inspiration. The environment feels warm and welcoming, encouraging both focus and creativity.

One thing to note is that the venue features some sharp and narrow stairs, which may require extra attention, especially for guests with mobility concerns. It’s something to consider when planning events with a diverse group of attendees.

Despite that, the overall experience was excellent. The staff were kind, professional, and ensured everything went smoothly. The Lodge of Queen Place stands out not just as a location, but as an experience in itself. For anyone looking to host a seminar, celebration, or artistic event in a distinctive and memorable setting, this place on Queen Street West is a fantastic choice.

We had our wedding here in May and had an unforgettable time! We fell in love with this place at once. The quirky, eclectic decor really spoke to us and we knew instantly that this would be the venue. The most important factor for us was the ease and simplicity of planning.

Fortunately, the venue came with the best day-of event coordinator ever, Anna! From the very beginning, she made the whole process very simple. We just made the big choices (timeline, food options, DJ, extra decorations, and guest list) and she handled the rest. She shared in our excitement and we felt supported right up until the end of our night; everything that we needed, she took care of!

We ended up choosing the vegan dim sum station for our dinner station and it was phenomenal! Everything was made in-house and we wish that we ate more! All of the staff were professional and enthusiastic. We highly recommend this venue and Anna to anyone looking for an intimate and stress-free wedding!

We loved the venue as soon as we walked in – it has a great vibe – comfortable, and yet very elegant. We were tasked with finding a “cool venue” to host a high school prom, and after a long search – Lodge on Queen was the perfect fit.

We were even more impressed by the venue after meeting and chatting with Anna, the Event Planner there. She is so friendly and easy to work with – and had SO many great ideas that we incorporated into our event.

On the night of, we then got to meet the rest of Anna’s team and they were incredible! Super professional and helpful - we just showed up with bags of event gear and food – and they all immediately got to work right away knowing what to do! We did not have to do or explain a thing- they instinctively knew what to do. We felt like everything was completely well in hand the whole time.

Anna, her team, and the Chef were so organized, having everything timed down to the minute – which I was super impressed with and grateful for. The event went perfectly from beginning to end.

Anna even sewed one of our guests’ dresses back together right in the middle of the event – super impressive!!

The students are still talking about how great the venue was, and how amazing the whole evening was – and that is high praise from teenagers!

A big thank you to Anna and her team for a truly memorable night – we will not hesitate to book an event again here in the future.

I've got nothing but good things to say about Lodge on Queen after photographing an anniversary party there last fall.

Anna and her staff were on top of things from the moment I arrived until I left 4 hours later - between fulfilling my requests, as well as my clients and their guests. They also never seemed to slow down on the super tasty hors d'oeuvres being brought out for the guests.

What really captured my attention at Lodge on Queen was the look of the space. This venue has it all for the beautiful rustic loft look. Wooden floors, exposed brick, stained glass and walls covered in stunning art work. Even the furniture selection was very tastefully done.

All in all, I highly recommend this venue for anyone to looking for a place to host their event or wedding. You really can't go wrong.

Thanks for everything, Anna! Hoping to see you again the near future.

Amazing!! The space was as beautiful as expected and was the exact right vibe for the wedding we were looking for.
Anna and Shandra were on top of everything and made sure that all of our guests (and us!) had the best night and that everything went as planned.
On top of that, the food and service from the staff was top notch. Our guests were raving the whole night about how great the food was. Great experience all around and I am looking forward to an excuse to have another event at the Lodge on Queen again.

Had our wedding with Mainspace this past Thursday & have nothing but positives to share:

Sophie (main point of contact 2023 to 2024) & Kaili (main point of contact 2025) were excellent! Both were very welcoming, accommodating & compassionate. Clear & frequent communication from both throughout the past couple of years.

The space itself is stunning; views of the rockies in every room, modern & simple interior with minimal decor needed. Taking a bit of the stress off wedding planning

Highly recommend having Mountain Fire Foods & Wild grazing for dinner, dessert & late night snacks.

This place is wonderful!!
I got to photograph a beautiful wedding at Mainspace and would highly recommend it over and over again!
Not only is the venue very photogenic and very modern, the staff was also fantastic, very friendly and professional.
Communication was top!
My couple was also very happy with their choice.

11/10!

Megan beautifully captured M+J's special day at Mainspace Canmore. The venue perfectly matched the couple's aesthetic and offered such a versatile, welcoming space—it was incredibly easy to personalize with their unique touches. Highly recommend the venue for anyone planning a stylish and meaningful celebration!

We had our wedding with Mainspace and couldn’t be happier with our experience. We used their ceremony package at Rundleview Parkette, and the team handled all of the setup and take down so efficiently, it made the day completely stress-free. Our reception at Mainspace was absolutely stunning, with the most beautiful mountain views and decor that exceeded our expectations. Planning from out of province was made so easy thanks to their amazing staff, who were always friendly, helpful, and attentive. Everything came together seamlessly, and it truly was the perfect day. We are so grateful to Mainspace for giving us such a beautiful and unforgettable wedding!

We recently had our wedding here and I would say that if you’re looking for your day to be absolutely perfect, look no further, this is your team to do it!! We had the best experience with Mainspace and the venue is beautiful! We live in Ontario and planned our wedding completely virtual with Sophie, Lindsay and the team. They brought our plans and Pinterest boards to life to make it our dream wedding!! This team works so hard, communication was always prompt and professional, and they eased all our wedding anxieties with their kindness and love for weddings. Thanks so much to the Mainspace team for giving us the best memories for life!!

UPDATE. I did receive the information needed in order to find my way to the onsite parking once I had spoken to someone by phone. The venue did update their website following my intervention. Good and effective response. I did not appreciate the undertones of managements response here, which left me feeling like I had a role to play in my inability to find the missing information regarding the parking access. Not to mention that there was no signage indicating where to go once out of the elevators, considering the direct access to the venue was closed. New rating 3 Stars.

I have not found any information regarding where to access your ON-SITE PARKING. What address is your parking lot? The person who answered your phone didn't even realize the information wasn't indicated on your website. I suggested letting the people who are responsible for the missing information know about this. One star.

Great spot for special events!!

Nice place for an event.

Beautiful modern venue for beautiful celebration

Very nice space

I had my wedding here this past August and it was truly the most quaint and perfect venue.
We worked closely with Myra and Alyssa with meetings to figure out all the details for the day of, and they were so helpful throughout the whole process and communicative.

The venue itself is stunning, from the ceremony spot, to the lovely cocktail patio, and stunning tented reception spot.
The property is a large size, allowing guests to roam about and enjoy all the greenery and gardens. It was the perfect backdrop for our wedding photos!
We are so happy that we did our wedding at Miller Lash house, it turned out beautiful!

The minute I toured Miller Lash, I knew right away it would be the perfect place for the size of wedding ceremony I had in mind. Super convenient and accessible location, beautiful natural backdrops in the middle of the city, lovely house to get dressed in with old school charm, very reasonably priced, and at my alma mater - UofT. Could only hope the weather would be perfect and the place available for the day we had in mind.
We had a fantastic experience with Alyssa and Myra from planning through to execution on the day of. They were far more prepared and organized than me (the bride lol), but super patient and understanding as well. All of our guests, especially those from out of town or visiting Toronto for the first time, could not stop talking about the day and the location! Thank you so much Miller Lash team, for allowing us to have our dream wedding ceremony and being so accommodating. Would not have changed a thing!!

The venue has a real rustic look and interesting bricks and beautiful scenery. We came here for a wedding and while the venue was beautiful and the staff was tentative and nice, there's a few things that fell short. The ceremony was outdoors in a big open space but the steep hill wasn't the friendliest to walk down especially for the elderlies with walking canes, and even guests who were wearing high heels. It's quite slanty. During the cocktail hour, the venue ran out of food within the hour, half the guests didn't even get any appetizers and a lot of people were hungry. Some parents even went out to bring food back for their children. There was no shortage of alcohol for the guests during cocktail but they ran out of non-alcoholic drinks really fast and had no juices for the children. The reception was outside in a big white tent, and that was fun. Note they don't have a kitchen at the venue so all the dinner food had to be catered and it is reheated for the guests. They had 2 female stalls for in the main washroom and 3 stalls outside at the reception area, which 1 was broken. For the males, there's only 1 stall and 1 urinal in the main building, but sure about the outdoors. It kind of felt there wasn't washrooms for the size of guests. Long wait times to go to the washroom. Otherwise, beautiful location for pictures, and the staff was delightful.

I would highly recommend Miller Lash House. This venue is absolutely breathtaking! The lush evergreens, as the backdrop of our outdoor ceremony, was gorgeous. There is plenty of outdoor space to capture the most beautiful photos. Inside the tent was like a blank canvas that allowed us to bring our wedding vision to life. I had a wonderful experience working with Jennifer. She made the planning process easy and enjoyable! It was a perfect day :)

The Miller Lash Estate is nestled in the picturesque valley of Highland Creek. The area is surrounded by nature and the venue is home to unique functions and popular with wedding receptions. Well kept with gardens and an arts and craft style estate this is a unique place.

Beautiful cathedral on the inside, double tiered with great stained glass. Didn't get a full look as a baptism was in progress. They ring the bells nice and loud so you can hear it blocks away. RFID tap at entrance to offer a donation.

Beautiful building. Hard to get good pictures inside without disturbing everyone even though it wasn't a mass time. Loved hearing the bells ring at noon and 6 pm. They do ask all visitors to pay some money even if you don't do the tour.

I had a wonderful experience visiting this church. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the community made me feel comfortable right away. The service was meaningful, and the message was inspiring. It’s a peaceful place for reflection and worship.

The Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica is absolutely breathtaking. From the outside, its twin spires rise above the city and make it one of Ottawa’s most iconic landmarks. Inside, the beauty is even more striking—vaulted blue ceilings painted with golden stars, ornate wooden sculptures, and stunning stained-glass windows that bring incredible light and colour into the space. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are remarkable, especially in the sanctuary with its intricate carvings and statues.

It’s not just a place of worship, but also a work of art and a piece of Canadian history. Whether you’re visiting for quiet reflection, to admire the architecture, or to experience one of the concerts or services, it leaves a lasting impression. A must-see when in Ottawa.

Amazing - peaceful place with lots of arts. The art on wall and cowering is amazing . There was a read with lots of candles which offered peace. You can come to this church , and meditate for hours in peace and silence .

We had our wedding at Orchard View Wedding Centre and couldn’t be happier with our experience! The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, with such a beautiful setting that made for stunning photos and a magical atmosphere. From the very beginning, Julia was incredibly helpful—she answered all our questions, guided us through the planning process, and made everything feel easy and stress-free. On the day of our wedding, the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They were attentive, professional, and truly cared about making our day special.
We are so grateful to Orchard View for giving us such a wonderful experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding venue that combines elegance, excellent service, and genuine care for their couples!

We couldn’t have picked a better venue for our wedding!! Not only is the site absolutely gorgeous in the summer, but Adam, Julia, and their whole team were phenomenal from start to finish. The planning process was smooth and stress-free, with flexibility that made everything feel easy. On the wedding day itself, we felt like guests and were able to be in the moment knowing that Julia and Lydia were there to guide us every step of the way. The food was absolutely incredible, the service outstanding, and every member of the staff was kind, professional, and helpful. Orchard View made our day feel like a dream. The team went above and beyond, and our guests haven’t stopped raving about it.

We had our wedding at Orchard View Wedding & Event Centre on June 3rd, 2025, and it was truly the most magical experience we could have asked for. The venue itself is breathtaking — from the scenic outdoor ceremony space to the elegant reception hall, everything was picture-perfect. But what truly made our day unforgettable was the incredible support we received from Julia, the venue manager.

From day one, Julia treated us like family. She was warm, approachable, and completely invested in making our vision come to life. She tailored every detail to our needs, always listened to what we wanted, and gave thoughtful suggestions that elevated everything. On the big day, she was constantly checking in on us — making sure we were comfortable, hydrated, calm, and smiling. When we felt nervous or overwhelmed, Julia was right there to lift us up with her positive energy and encouragement. She truly became more than just a coordinator — she felt like a part of our wedding party.

Thanks to Julia’s dedication and the amazing Orchard View team, our wedding day was not just smooth and organized, but filled with joy, warmth, and love. We’re beyond grateful and would recommend this venue — and especially Julia — to anyone who wants their special day to be as memorable and meaningful as ours.

We recently had our wedding at Orchard View and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The venue is absolutely beautiful, from the stunning grounds to the elegant reception spaces, it’s the perfect backdrop for such an important day. The staff have been professional, responsive, and very accommodating, making the planning process smooth and stress-free.

What I really appreciate is how detail-oriented and organized Julia was. Every question had been answered promptly, and she goes the extra mile to make sure everything aligned with our vision. It felt like she truly cared about creating a memorable experience for me and my guests.

I would highly recommend Orchard View to anyone looking for a wedding or event space in Ottawa. The combination of the scenic setting, excellent service, and warm hospitality makes it stand out as one of the best venues in the city.

A Beautiful Venue with Exceptional Service!

We got married at Waterfront Park in Calgary on July 5th, and the entire experience was truly amazing. The venue itself is gorgeous — the peaceful views of the water added a special touch to our ceremony and photos, creating a perfect atmosphere for our big day.

What really stood out, though, was the incredible service and coordination. The staff was professional, organized, and genuinely caring. From the planning stages to the final moments of our wedding, they made everything feel effortless and stress-free, allowing us to just enjoy the day.

We would absolutely recommend Waterfront Park to other couples — not only for the stunning scenery, but especially for the top-notch service that made our wedding feel so seamless and special.

Thank you to the whole team at Waterfront Park for helping bring our dream day to life!

We had a wonderful experience working with Simply Elegant for a special family event. From start to finish, the communication was clear, prompt, and thoughtful—something we truly appreciated throughout the planning process. Even though our group was small, the team made everything feel incredibly meaningful and memorable.

Jenn was absolutely amazing to work with. She transformed our parents’ home into a warm, elegant space with simple yet beautiful touches that captured the spirit of the evening perfectly. The food was superb—thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. The chef clearly put care into every dish.

A special thank you to Raymond, who went above and beyond. He was so attentive, taking time to connect with each of us and ensuring every detail was taken care of. His presence added a personal touch that meant so much to our family.

The evening flowed beautifully, and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. I highly recommend Simply Elegant for any event, big or small. I’ll definitely be reaching out to them again in the future!

We just had our wedding catered by Simply Elegant on August 16th. The company is amazing to work with. Right from the beginning, communication was quick and efficient. The chef was accommodating of our, slightly odd, request. We had a christmas themed wedding, and Simply Elegant recreated their Holiday menu for us for it! We did a tasting prior to signing, and it was as amazing as the food was on the day of the wedding! We had so many left overs too so the quantities were great! We had so many compliments from our friends and family about the food! Could not have asked for a better wedding day meal! Will highly recommend in the future!

We ordered catering from this company and everything was amazing! The food was fresh and very delicious, all our guests were satisfied. I would also like to highlight the delivery person, Danil – he was extremely polite and friendly. It’s a pleasure to deal with such great service. Highly recommend! 🌟

We use Simply Elegant catering for our breakfast board meetings and they never disappoint! The food is always tasty and they show up on time and come back to pick up the equipment afterwards. They are our GO TO catering company and we highly recommend them.

Magnificent building. Intricate architecture and really nice to relax around on a nice day. The area is peaceful and the adjacent park sometimes has interesting events

Stunning building! Was very cool to go inside for a look

This cathedral is the oldest in Toronto. Its interior can only be described in one word , "Breathtaking ." From its ceiling high stained glass windows to It's impeccably clean clear windows. My only concern is that although it is wheelchair accessible, there are no clear signs posted that state so. Unfortunately, this is my only concern regarding the church. I had to wait over 30 minutes for a staff member to notice me and direct me to the wheelchair accessible entrance. I tried calling the church for assistance several times but was only answered by a recorded message. That didn't taint my experience there once I managed to gain access to the church. I highly recommend that if you're in the downtown Toronto area of Church and Queen Sts. If you find yourself with a little time to spare, please drop in for a visit. You'll find yourself unexpectedly in awe of your surroundings as you immerse yourself in its glory and beauty. I was so enthralled by its magnificence that I forgot to take photos. I apologize in advance to all who read my review.

I attended the Sunday session at 10am. Angelic! Perfect for newcomers. Smiling faces. You'll get coffee after the service too. Finished around 11:30am.

I am very emotional about churches, especially these gothic cathedrals. It's so well maintained and beautiful. I had years in my eyes during the Holy Communion (Lord's Supper/Bread/Wine).

The Holy Communion welcomes all.

Christians with stringent beliefs, the church won't necessarily match you beliefs. It has a pride flag hanging and you'll get uncomfortable.

It's located in the heart of Toronto. It's a beautiful church with nice architecture.
The Cathedral has been designated as an Ontario Heritage Property by the Ministry of Culture and has also been designated as a heritage site by Heritage Toronto. I had a peaceful experience here.Exterior of the church is beautiful too and I went on a Sunny day so it added to the beauty. Quite accessible with private sndy punvkivy transport.

I live in BC. I needed to order flowers for my cousin. This process was simple and friendly. A local owned shop I would happily support again. They did up exactly as I asked! The price was great for what I ordered. The flowers were fresh and arranged beautiful. Thank you!! Highly recommend.

Have used Strathmore flowers for a few years now. They are always professional, and their bouquets are absolutely beautiful. They go out of their way to make everything right. I would highly recommend them.

There are not words to express our pleasure at the incredibly awesome flowers done by the ladies at Strathmore Florist . They fulfilled my granddaughter 's vision and then some. They absolutely made her wedding day. These are just two pictures of the bouquets I am trying to preserve for her. Please enlarge for your pleasure.

Very nice arrangements they have fresh flowers very good rate. I own a taxi company here and I deliver so many flowers for them. They are Every Time fresh and beautiful. The ladies work there they are awesome like flowers.

I could not have been more pleased with the arrangements that were put together for my Aunties Celebration of life. Highly recommend.

As a wedding planner, I had the pleasure of planning Vanessa and Taylor’s wedding at the beautiful Arlington Estate, and the experience was nothing short of incredible. The grounds were stunning and immaculately kept, providing the perfect backdrop for the celebration.

On the wedding day, Mariam was a true gem to work with—warm, professional, and always ready to help. Her attentiveness and calm support ensured everything ran seamlessly, which made such a difference for our couple and their families.

The food and drinks were abundant and delicious, and the service staff were attentive and courteous throughout the entire event. Arlington Estate is not only a gorgeous venue but also a place with a dedicated team that truly cares. I would highly recommend it to any couple looking for an unforgettable wedding day.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As a wedding photography team, Arlington Estate is truly one of our top venues in the city.

The space is bright, white, and elegant an absolute dream to photograph. The outdoor ceremony area is stunning and incredibly romantic, perfect for capturing timeless moments.

The staff are always professional and kind, and the food is consistently amazing. Every event we've worked here runs smoothly and beautifully.

If you're looking for a venue that's visually breathtaking and flawlessly managed, Arlington Estate never disappoints.

The Arlington Estate is, without exaggeration, among the finest event spaces one could encounter—arguably the best of the best. The property is a masterclass in elegance and versatility, with sweeping greenery, a serene pond, a charming gazebo, and the stately estate itself providing countless picturesque backdrops. It's a dream setting for any celebration, particularly weddings.

From the moment we arrived, we were deeply impressed by both the ambience and the calibre of service. The staff demonstrated professionalism, hospitality, and foresight at the highest level. No detail was overlooked—truly, not a single leaf was left unturned.

During the cocktail hour, servers were in constant motion with a delightful selection of hors d’oeuvres, while the drinks were simply superb. Dinner was impeccably timed and beautifully presented, and the live band brought incredible energy, keeping guests on their feet with vibrant, punchy music.

The cuisine was nothing short of exquisite—flavours that matched the elegance of the venue in every way. It’s clear that everything here is driven by experienced management and a passion for excellence.

The Arlington Estate doesn’t just host events—it elevates them. A shining example of what world-class hospitality looks like.

I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at The Arlington Estate recently, and I was thoroughly impressed by both the service and the atmosphere of the venue. The property is stunning and incredibly versatile, featuring greenery, a gazebo, a pond, and the estate itself—offering a wide range of beautiful backdrops for photography.

The staff went above and beyond in their hospitality. One server in particular regularly checked in on me, asked about dietary restrictions, and even brought drinks and appetizers directly to my table—a rare and thoughtful gesture that was greatly appreciated as a vendor. The venue coordinator was also kind and communicative, making sure the reception space was clear and ready for me to capture the detail shots.

Overall, my experience at The Arlington Estate was exceptional, and I would love to work here again in the future!

If you want a high end, luxurious, and exquisite experience for you occasion, this is your go to. No cap. Check it out yourself.

I attended my friends wedding here and it was spectacular! Jaw dropping and purely amazing vibe. 👏

We got married here in July 2025 and could not be happier with our experience. From the very beginning, the team was fantastic to work with — it was easy to set up viewings, and their communication was always clear and timely. The online portal made planning so much easier, helping us stay organized and on track.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning and perfect for anyone wanting to minimize moving parts on their wedding day. They truly have everything you could want on-site — a beautiful bridal suite for getting ready, a well-appointed groom’s room, and a gorgeous setting for both the ceremony and reception. The bar team was also incredible to work with, adding to the seamless flow of the day.

We were so, so happy with our choice and will be recommending this venue to anyone looking for an exceptional event space.

We got married last weekend at The Brownstone and we are truly blown away by every aspect of this venue and their staff. From the initial viewing, the preparation, to the day of, working with them was nothing short of incredible. The staff are professional, knowledgable, efficient, kind, and such a pleasure to work with. Communication was INCREDIBLY timely! The team does it all and the pricing is extremely reasonable. And it goes without saying that the venue itself is absolutely beautiful! We couldn't have picked a better place to host the best day of our lives. I cannot recommend The Brownstone enough. Thank you to them, and their team for the best day ever!

Our experience at the Brownstone was fantastic! They were so accommodating from start to finish, making us feel welcomed and excited in every step throughout the process. Bretton and the team made sure they were in constant communication with us throughout the planning and we really felt looked after.

10/10 would recommend the Wedding Coordinator service. Bretton took all of the details we wanted and made it a reality. She really took the weight off of figuring out vendors, pick-ups/drop-offs while still making sure the overall esthetic of the wedding was how we envisioned it. She stayed in touch days up to the wedding to really put us at ease.

Thank you again to The Brownstone Team, we really enjoyed having our wedding here and will recommend this venue in future!

We had a great experience with Brownstone after our wedding venue flooded and we had to look for an alternative. The team was super considerate and professional laying out all the details and setting very clear expectations.

We loved the look of the new “Offsite” venue as well. I think either offsite or brownstone would serve as an excellent wedding or corporate venue with a very competent crew.

Our experience at the Brownstone has been absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, the Brownstone team welcomed us with warmth, kindness, and an accommodating spirit that made the entire process so much easier and more enjoyable and fun. No matter what we needed or how many questions we had, they were always there with a smile and reassuring words; handling everything with ease and going above and beyond to ensure we felt cared for. It’s so clear they truly love what they do. Their passion and dedication shined in every detail, and their excitement and energy made the whole journey so smooth and enjoyable! The venue itself is absolutely stunning! It’s a perfect blend of elegance and versatility—like a blank canvas with endless possibilities; you can run wild with your creativity or embrace the venue's simplicity and beauty.

We can't thank the Brownstone team enough for being so accommodating, so thoughtful, and so much fun! Thanks for making everything seamless and special. We’ll always be grateful for the unforgettable role that the Brownstone- Loren, Chris, Andrew, Jody, and Alina played in our day! Thanks for hosting us at your beautiful venue and your also very stunning studio at Vic Park! :)

I got married in the courtyard. The team at the Global Centre for Pluralism was exceptional to work with, and the day turned out beautifully.

I've had the pleasure of attending several events at the Global Centre for Pluralism, and each experience has been exceptional. The venue is elegant and well-equipped, offering all the necessary facilities—including catering space, washrooms, and a welcoming lobby. The support from the event coordinator is outstanding, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend this space for anyone looking to host a professional and memorable event.

The Global Centre for Pluralism has been an invaluable partner in the successful organization of several events led by the Embassy of Colombia in Canada in the city of Ottawa. Their generous support, particularly through the use of their facilities, has greatly contributed to high-level meetings and events focused on human rights, peacebuilding, and other key topics.

As a staff member of the Embassy of Colombia in Canada, I deeply appreciate this ongoing collaboration. The synergy between our institutions has been exceptional. I highly recommend working with the Centre and making use of its facilities, which are spacious, modern, and versatile, ideal for a wide range of activities.

I highly recommend the Global Centre for Pluralism for their venue rental. I used them for a corporate meeting and event. The Dialogue Centre and lobby are clean, beautiful and modern with a lot of natural light - our guests really enjoyed it. All staff and Hicham in particular were very professional and accommodating. Coordination between the venue, AV services and catering went super smoothly.

We've used this space for corporate meetings several times. It's a beautiful environment, with excellent equipment and the staff are consistently professional and helpful. Always a pleasure to be here.

Went here for a corporate event. Beautiful space. Convenient parking (at a cost). Views for days 😍

We've done a few events at Globe & Mail and always had such an amazing experience from a planner side of things and for our clients. The staff at this venue are so caring and always go above and beyond to ensure the celebration is absolutely perfect. Last September we worked closely with Natasha and can't say enough great things about her. She was responsive, flexible, and on wedding day made sure we had everything we needed.

Thank you from all of us at Claudia and Co. Hoping we work together again soon!

Absolutely love the smell of this lobby. The ambiance the've created is wonderful, so peaceful, welcoming and relaxing! I look forward to my visits here. Would love to know if they use a custom or commercial diffuser or scents.

This is a building with an amazing view to Toronto downtown. It's probably the best view. I believe 17th floor is where they organize different events and it's where I was when I visited this place last time. Also a large balcony all around the building. Really great

I had the privilege of attending the Spring for Peace event in Toronto yesterday, hosted by Peacebuilders Canada at the stunning Globe and Mail Centre. It was an honor to be part of such an impactful gathering aimed at fostering peace and unity in our community.

Huge thanks to Eva Marszewski for the invitation and for her incredible work as the founder of Peace Builders International, as well as being a fellow member of Catalyst 2030.

The keynote address by the Honorable Minister for Women, Gender Equality and Youth, Merci Ien, was truly inspiring. Her emphasis on the importance of empowerment and educative programs in shaping the lives of youths across Canada resonated deeply.

Events like these remind us of the importance of creating a world where every voice matters. Kudos to the Peacebuilders team for their dedication and hard work in making this event a success.

A very top notch romantic restaurant. I recently went for a Sunday Dinner to celebrate an anniversary and this is easily in the top restaurants I've been to. The staff are exceptionally personable, helpful and so nice, the views are obviously amazing and it's a treat to have a location like this overseeing a lake yet be inner city. The food was absolutely amazing and the staff was knowledgeable to help recommend the best meat cooked level and provide great drink and menu choices. We started with Crab and Potatoe Croquettes that were actually amazing and had very little crab smell and the texture with plating a treat for sure! After the appetizer our main dishes were plated with care and tasted amazing. The bison was delicious with the vegetable side and the stuffed pastry was actually an 11/10 and blew us away. The Ribeye was classic and cooked to perfection with the Potatoes and Broccoli and it definitely was a steakhouse quality dish. The desert being the lime creme brule was good and I would rate it visually a 10 but for taste it sat around an 8. It was not bad at all but having a meal where every item hits a solid 10 really holds a high bar that is both exciting and yummy to see. I give this place a 10/10 and highly recomme d everyone visit to enjoy a romantic dinner.

The Lake House in Calgary is a stunning spot with incredible views and equally impressive food. The atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, perfect for a special night out or a cozy dinner. The menu showcases local ingredients with real care, and every dish feels thoughtfully prepared. A must-visit for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience by the water.

Wonderful outdoor patio experience, got there before it became too crowded and loved the view of Bonaventure lake beach, great sounds, music was perfect, atmosphere was amazing, and servers were very passionate 😁 would recommend to a friend, 9.8/10, indoor dining area was straight from the set of a culinary movie!!! Love the chandeliers

Had our wedding here couple years ago & also dine yearly for our anniversary. It’s always a hit with the food and service! The ambience is romantic and perfect for a wedding!

We dined here for the first time for their new years eve menu. The ambience was great and it was beautifully decorated for Christmas. The staff gave us a choice of where to sit which was a nice touch. We did get a couple of the wine pairings with the meal, and they were expertly paired! The meal itself was delicious and offered a nice variety of flavors with each course. Very well done. The service was fantastic and all the staff were very attentive. We will definitely be back in the summer to check out the view once the lake is thawed, and to enjoy another meal.
