Incredible Venue!

We had our 200 person wedding at the Waterside Inn a couple of weeks ago and are so happy we did. Marlene was so incredible to work with and was very accommodating leading up to the wedding day. She helped us feel sure that everything would be as we hoped and on the wedding day we were so happy to find that it was. We received a lot of feedback from our guests saying that the food was amazing, the staff was attentive, and that the venue was great. A special thank you to Kristina for dealing with all the guests at the bar. We can't express how thankful we are to have worked with such a great team to make our wedding day special. Thank you! Sofija and Ashwin

A wonderful experience

It was great working with Marlene and the Waterside Inn staff. Everyone was accommodating and lovely. Marlene was always prompt in responding to emails regarding various matters and gave wonderful suggestions. The food we had for the cocktail reception and lunch reception was delicious. I especially appreciated how we were served some of the hors d'oeuvres during the appetizers as the staff knew that we didn't get a chance to try them during the cocktail reception. The area around the venue is lovely as it's near the water and the ballroom is classy. Wedding planning is a very stressful process but Waterside Inn and everyone there were the least stressful parts of the whole thing. Thank you all!

Beautiful Venue

We had our ceremony and reception on site. Marleen the coordinator was wonderful to work with and really helped us plan the big day. The staff at the venue was also amazing, they were friendly and had everything running smoothly. The head waiter Mohamed would check in with us to make sure everything was running smoothly and the way we wanted it. Because of this I felt we did not need a day of coordinator and the venue really came through. I also loved that I was able to set up the day before as there were no events which was really nice for me to be able to do all the set up myself

Fairytale Reception, from beginning to end!

Having our wedding reception at the Waterside Inn was the best decision we could have made. The staff was amazing, our venue coordinator was amazing, and the space was also amazing. We were also very thankful for our bridal suite.

If you book your wedding in through beautiful ballroom, you won't be disappointed.

An actual tailored experience

We never felt stress about venue and catering after this place.
We heard experiences from other vendors that belong to chains of inflexibility, and the simple truth is that going with a big company, you're not the primary concern. We never had any problem getting in touch with someone who had decision making power so we never felt that we were simply being placated .

The value is good, the location on the waterfront is stunning, the halls are beautiful to the point of decorations needed being minimum, the food is of the highest quality. We had to reschedule, rebook, and deal with COVID restrictions on guests ranging from 10 person to 150+ person invite lists and we can't thank this venue and Marlene enough for always having our back.

There's no reason I wouldn't recommend this venue for your wedding.

Thank you so much Patrick for your appreciative comments! I can't imagine how frustrating of an experience it was to plan a wedding during covid, but we navigated through it together! We were so happy to finally be able to host your wedding, and that you chose to postpone instead of cancel. It was truly a pleasure working with you and your family. I hope to see you all again soon!

Most amazing venue and staff!

We got married at The Waterside Inn on October 2, 2021 and it was the most magnificent, happy and beautiful day. The venue itself is beautiful, our guests RAVED about the food and many ended up staying at the Inn even if they hadn’t planned to do so beforehand. From the very first conversation I had with Marlene (during COVID lockdowns) she has gone above and beyond for us. She is truly the most professional, kind, accommodating wedding/event coordinator I have ever even heard of! She worked with us DAILY (I am quite the worrier and she would put my mind at ease!) and even communicated directly to other vendors who we couldn’t get ahold of to make sure our day went off flawlessly. The staff on the-day-of were exemplary, even fanning out my dress, telling me I looked beautiful and running up to me with water and a straw when I was filled with anxiety before walking down the aisle. The serving staff kept on ensuring my Groom and I were eating, drinking water and taking a second to take it all in and we could not have had a more wonderful wedding day without every staff member there. A heartfelt thank you to Marlene and the rest of The Waterside Inn staff for the most amazing day of our lives! We will be back for a visit!!!

Exactly what we were looking for

The Waterside Inn was exactly the wedding venue we were looking for. Great value for money -- nothing over the top -- a beautiful and spacious baquet room, nice outdoor space, quality food, great menu options and attentive staff. The hotel rooms are nicely decorated and spacious -- not your standard hotel room. Great for getting ready in and for wedding guests coming in from out of town. The two-bedroom suites were expecially useful for the wedding party and families.

Truly a boutique hotel experience without the boutique price tag. Planning the wedding with Marlene was a breeze. Couldn't be happier with our experience!

The perfect place for the perfect Wedding!!

My fiancé and I decided to get married after 3 years of courtship. We wanted something small and intimate and at a place that would cater to us and our guests.
Initially, our wedding was booked at another venue. We changed date 3 times due to covid19. Our venue decided to stay closed even after stage 3 opened in Mississauga so we had to find another venue that could host our wedding. With recommendations from our venue we found The Waterside Inn. We were very anxious about changing venue amid a pandemic. We toyed with the idea of postponing our wedding, but we took the leap and book The Waterside Inn.
From the first meeting to the final invoice the professionalism, expertise and excellent service by Marlene made the entire process comfortable and a very pleasant experience. It went better than expected.
There are many venues and planners out there who “work” for themselves, not the client. This venue and planner are not one of them. It was as great an experience, as promised and I can strongly recommend the waterside Inn and Marleen. The venue was very flexible, the staff was extremely friendly, provided excellent service, everyone was easy to work with and did everything with a smile, the table presentation and service was warm, caring and totally professional. The food and wine were excellent!! The service far exceeded our high expectations.!!!
It's very evident that this company cares and valued ours and their business.
A huge thanks to all the staff & management for their very kind and courteous assistance in making our wedding celebration so perfect! Thank you for exceeding the typical customer service.
You all ROCK!!

Highly recommended!!

Marlene (venue coordinator) was so great to work with! She made the wedding planning process easy. She listened to our preferences and was able to make appropriate recommendations for us regarding the set up, menu etc. We had a small wedding so we hosted it inside the Breakwater Restaurant - the food was amazing and the restaurant staffs were all so caring and nice. Our guests enjoyed the food so much and even months after the wedding they still talk about how delicious the food were :) Thank you Marlene!

My sincere gratitude to The Waterside Inn (Our Wedding Day 28.12.2019)

This review may come abit late but wanted to express my sincere gratitude to The Waterside Inn (Our Wedding Day 28.12.2019). It was the perfect wedding we'd hope for and more. The staff were very attentive to our needs the night before, the day of and even after all the festivities. Marlene was a wonderful coordinator to work with. We were in good hands as the reception part of our day started.

My fiance, at the time, and I had other vendors to look into however the Waterside Inn was the venue we found that could take >50 of our friends and family for a lunch wedding before the end of the year. We honestly had less than four months to plan as we wanted to start the new year together and move into our new place.
Leading up to our special day, I'd say the hardest part of our planning was the dietary restrictions that came with our families. God bless Marlene for taking my emails, random questions and concerns into consideration. This venue is very experienced with food allergies and dietary requests for many different kinds of events. She was very professional and provided us with seating charts (often constantly revised), menus printed, candles and other details that we didn't have to worry about. The children's meals and even the individuals with allergies were well taken care of by the staff, it wasn't even on my radar when everything began.
We had so many compliments on the buffet and how all things were kept hot and well prepared. It was a nice sunny day (the only sunny day that week as there were many winter days that Christmas week) that we took even a few photo shots outside near the harbour which was unplanned. All that planning and it went by so fast! My relatives enjoyed their condo-style suite the nights they stayed were over. The staff even helped to print our speeches the night before. Everyone enjoyed our Christmas-style wedding!
The brunch the next morning was delicious and a nice compliment to end our stay. I've heard of their Sunday Brunch before and it was amazing to finally try it. It was so nice to see Mohammad and similar staff faces again take care of us and their excellent service.

As we are in trying times, I would highly recommend this affordable venue if interested in the micro wedding or brunch or lunch wedding. If our lunch wedding went this smoothly I'm sure they would have done a phenomenal job for a full-day affair. Thank you Marlene and the Waterside Inn staff for being a part of the best day ever!
