Super easy to work with, beautiful location!

This venue is definitely a hidden gem! My husband has lived in Toronto for ten years and we had no idea we were passing by on Lakeshore everyday!

Truly a beautiful location for your ceremony and a cosy, intimate atmosphere for your reception.

Robin is so easy to work with. We had a planner she collaborated with easily, but she also has lots of ideas if you don’t have a planner.

Great bar menu, great vibes, great experience!

Wonderful waterfront venue!

We had a wonderful experience hosting our wedding at the Henley Room in July 2022! Some of our favourite parts of the venue include:
-unbeatable location right on the waterfront (amazing photo spots on dock and in adjoining park)
-booking includes an amazing venue / day-of coordinator (Robin)... really cannot overstate enough how helpful it was to have a kind, experienced, responsive and efficient person guiding us through the planning process, lead the day-of set-up/decoration, and keep everything running smoothly on our wedding day
-great bar space separate from main reception room (nice to make cocktail hour feel distinct and also a quieter place for older guests to go mingle once the dance floor opened); bar was also really well-stocked, including lots of craft beer options
-beautiful patio overlooking the water (guests loved having a drink and taking photos out there)

There's about a million other reasons we liked the Henley Room at the Argonaut Rowing Club, but bottom line is that we'd highly recommend it as an event space!

Robin and Logan are the best people in the wedding business!

I had been planning my wedding at The Henley Room even before I met my husband! Robin and Logan made my wedding dreams come true! The Henley Room is hands down the most beautiful wedding venue in Toronto! We booked our original wedding date before the pandemic and we were knee deep in planning when the pandemic started. Obviously we never pictured our wedding and planning to be so unpredictable but it was totally worth it when we finally got married at the Henley Room! There were so many sleepless nights planning our wedding but Robin and Logan were so flexible, understandable and calming! They were responsive to all our questions and reassuring as we planned our wedding during a very unpredictable time. They also kept us safe at the wedding and followed all COVID protocols. Our wedding day was exactly what we dreamed of and I still can’t believe it really happened! I would highly recommend this venue!!!

The Henley Room

Everything from the Henley Room was perfection. Robin and the team were a treat to work with. They were attentive and accommodating throughout the entire process. I don't think there is a better team out there. The space itself is stunning, when we saw it for the first time we booked on the spot. We wanted a venue that would be beautiful but also match our casual vibe, and the Henley Room was the perfect fit. We were lucky enough to have our ceremony on the dock, which might just have the best uninterrupted view of the lake in the city. We were so impressed throughout the whole wedding planning process, and cannot recommend this space enough!

Beautiful venue, amazing staff!

We got married here in August 2019 and this review is long overdue!!! The venue is STUNNING, their bar package is amazing, very reasonably priced, and above all else Robin is a saint!!! She is so amazing. I had more than one "bridal breakdown" during the planning stages (at one point we thought the dock ceremony would have to be inside due to the water levels) and throughout it all Robin made the whole process seamless. She was so kind, understanding, PATIENT!! She even brought us drinks right to us on the wedding day. All of our guest a year later are still talking about the beautiful views. It was such an easy-going, fun, romantic vibe and I'm so happy we chose this venue. If you are thinking about it at all, I highly recommend you do!!! Also we went with their preferred vendors Blair's Catering and Evolved Entertainment - can't say enough positives about them either!!!! Our dream wedding was perfect! We were so so so happy. Thank you again Robin and the Henley Room!!!

I can't wait to get married at The Henley Room. We're having a smaller wedding and we wanted to stay in the city but not be in the middle of the city. Also we wanted to be on the water. The Henley Room is a great little find that fit all our needs. Did I mention they also have free parking which is so helpful.

Overall I've enjoyed the experience of booking with them and they seem super helpful compared to a lot of other venues. If I want a special beer they're happy to bring it in just for us which is great because my partner loves his craft beer. The view of the water is also unbelievable . Can't wait.

Our wedding was great, the venue was fantastic, they even redid the carpet right before our wedding which was a bonus! We loved the beautiful outdoor ceremony space and the bar list is awesome. I would say they really need to work on getting better at responding to emails and voicemail as it took a long time to get a response even when we were trying to book the place. All of our guests had a great time though and so did we! I do think it is a bit pricey considering there is no discount for a Friday wedding and the room itself definitely needs updating, but in all we had a great day and had no issues with the venue :)

This was a beautiful venue, the event management staff is friendly and once we got to know them - they were very helpful and insightful, and offered honest feedback about decor etc. The room booking price includes the tables, chairs, decor tables (small square tables to be used as photobooth, cake table, or to put guest book on. about 8 small tables) However, all table setting (dinnerware,flatware, drinking glasses, water jugs) have to be rented from their preferred vendor (Chairman Mills) which can hike up the price quite a bit. Also, have to bring your own servers (also adds to the cost). GREAT THING is that you can bring your own caterer (esp. if you need to serve non North American food e.g. Indian/Arabic/etc. - my wedding was Indian/Pakistani so we needed south asian food!). They let your caterer use their kitchen for a landmark fee (like any other venue). Soft bar is a little higher priced than other venues. Overall - given it was a summer wedding, this place is beautiful, gorgeous natural light in the room, great soft pot lights for night time, excellent view of the water. Sound system for music and speeches is great. Really nice rustic/lodge vibe due to the setting. If you are having an intimate wedding, this is a great place to do it!

We held our wedding at the Henley Room this past May and I was so thrilled with how everything went. Logan and Robin, our planners, were an absolute dream to work with. Ours was a tricky and complicated situation since neither of us currently live in Toronto; I was so, SO grateful for their flexibility and their willingness to communicate with me so often via email and to help liaise with our caterers. They met with us on numerous occasions to make sure our evening was beautiful and memorable - and they totally succeeded. If you're someone who wants a beautiful setting on the lake and wants a lot of opportunity to really make your event your own without blowing a lot of money - be it with your linens/ decor, your food... whatever... - this is the place for you. The liquor/ alcohol selection as well is ON POINT! (Also, an EXTREMELY affordable deposit!) Thank you guys

The most underrated / unknown magical venue in Toronto!

Robin was an absolute DREAM to deal with - she made sure our vision came to life and that it was flawlessly executed. Situated directly on the lake, you really get the best of both worlds - we had our ceremony on the docks overlooking the lake, which was stunning. Afterwards we moved indoors for our reception inside the Henley Room, which oozes class, charm and character. It is such a unique venue and you don’t expect it to be as stunning as it is. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting how breathtaking the venue was - the twinkle lights bringing warmth against the large windows overlooking the lake is hard to beat.

The venue comfortably fit 95 people for seated service with a dance floor in the middle. It was a great size for the Henley room as it still felt intimate but didn’t feel empty.

The bar package is also extensive with a significant amount of selections. We upgraded a cocktail and it was a guest favourite! There’s a lot of options with the Henley room to make your wedding truly you.

In short, if you are getting married in Toronto this is absolutely a venue to check out. Robin is the best coordinator and helps you significantly along the way. 200/10 recommend!
