The Royal Ambassador

We held our wedding at the Royal Ambassador at the end of September. We had the Greenhouse room and it was absolutely stunning! All the staff on the day of our wedding were amazing! The Food was absolutely perfect, we have had so many guests tell us this was the best food they have ever had at a wedding! The staff even brought out seconds of the risotto! The grounds of the property are stunning and there are so many places to take photos.
My husband and I have said a few times since our wedding that we want to be guests at another wedding here to experience it all over again! When you are booking with them, don't hesitate to get the martini ice luge that they offer, it was one of the highlights of the evening! Our wedding was perfect and I would recommend the Royal Ambassador to anyone!

To Stella and the staff at Royal Ambassador a sincere thank you. Dinner was delicious! More importantly, the service you provided has been outstanding. Thank you for being so flexible and working with me through provincial restrictions, time changes and numbers constantly being adjusted. You made a difficult situation easier which allowed us to have a really enjoyable reception. Sincerely: Donna & Fernando Cordeiro

The Royal Ambassador was a great venue to work with. We booked them for our 2020 wedding back in 2018 after we fell in love with everything about the venue. We postponed once due to covid and ended up having our wedding in May 2021. During the whole process, Stella was very helpful and reassuring. They worked with us to accommodate us as best as possible given the different restrictions. Stella was great at communicating with me over the years and helped calm me down during the process. Our ceremony was stunning at the lakeside gazebo. The scenery and perfectly manicured grounds never cease to amazing me - and our pictures turned out amazing with the scenery in the background. They provided us with catering to take home as covid restrictions prevented us from having our reception and the food was AMAZING. Our guests all kept complimenting everything that we ate (the beef tenderloin was phenomenal). I am so thankful to the Royal Ambassador and Stella for my wedding experience and would highly recommend this venue. Thank you again!!

This wedding venue is beautiful.
Unfortunately they are very slow to respond to emails, they are not organized what so ever! I had to ask for the table layout and break down of our day. They had so many weddings the day we got married, they clearly couldn’t handle the volume. The couple to use the gazebo before us were 2 hours late(stuck in traffic) we had to ask the staff to remove their guests so ours could be seated.
No clear signs to where what wedding was taking place. We had a few guest from an other wedding come enjoy our open bar on the patio. I personally didn’t care....open bar is an open bar ;)
They are so disorganized on every level!!
Unless you have a wedding planner that is ontop of them or have time to harass them about everything I don’t suggest this venue.
There only saving grace is the beautiful views......but know this they have geese and lots of geese poo. If you have a beautiful expensive dress it will drag through the poo. :(

Diana from Royal Ambassador was so wonderful to work with. She was quick at responding to our emails and phone calls, very professional, focused and extremely patient. Thank you so much for your help, advice and guidance during our wedding planning process!

The food was absolutely delicious and the service and quality was second to none. The wait staff were super attentive and polite and even brought us food to nibble on and drinks to keep us refreshed during our pictures, pre-reception and throughout the night.

Our guests had nothing but great things to say about Royal Ambassador! The food was amazing, the venue grounds are beautiful and the staff were great!

WARNING! Do NOT book your events here. Extremely unprofessional and a complete scam. They go through staff changes like crazy and the lack of communication is beyond unprofessional. I agree with another review on here, DO NOT deal with Diana. We never dealt with her once and then suddenly get told our rep no longer works there so Diana is taking over. The night of our tasting is when we met her and she didn’t even introduce herself. We had to ask “Are you Diana??” Then when we questioned Daisy the owner we get told Diana is one of her best staff members. Complete joke, these people do not know how to run a business it’s so terrible. We had our wedding here recently, none of the contract was followed regarding our food and the bartenders water down your drinks. Extremely embarrassing to have multiple guests tell you how much they consumed and how odd it was they left completely sober. We had two types of meats clearly stated on our contract and the servers go around asking your guests secretly if they want one or the other, not to mention the wrong size of meat was being served. THIS IS NOT OKAY! You pay so much money per plate and find out you are being ripped off. The cook of the meat was sooo dry guests came up to our head table to let us know they were choking from how dry it was. They also fail to tell you the food is cooked elsewhere and then they transfer it over and place it in warmers, we found this out the night of during dinner when my dad had to go to the back kitchen to question the sneaky business that was going on regarding the servers providing the wrong size of meat, cook of the meat, and only offering one or the other when our contract stated both. It was even confirmed at our tasting and multiple times after the tasting we had TWO types of meat. This is the venue just being shady behind your back thinking we wouldn’t notice. The icing on the cake was when our night ended and the manager on site came to tell us we had to clear up everything in the back THAT NIGHT! It was 2:30am and that moment we are being told EVERYTHING must go or it’s thrown outside. My father and a friend had to return with two pick up trucks at 3:30am after driving some guests home to find our belongings actually thrown outside IN THE RAIN like trash. We were in complete shock! After all the money we paid this joke of a venue our stuff along with our vendors belongings got thrown outside like literal garbage. What bride and groom go to a banquet hall with a uhaul prepared to pack up everything that same night?? Not even our vendors who do weddings every single weekend have ever heard such nonsense. I could go on and on with everything that went wrong, I just want to warn all brides and grooms or anyone looking to have an event there, please DO NOT book this place. You will be ripped off, they want your money before hand for reasons like this. They will not sit down with you to resolve any matters because they have already been paid in full and will deny anything was wrong on their end. PLEASE stay away, do not book this scam of a venue, save your money, time and stress and book elsewhere.

I could not be more pleased with the service and organization at the royal ambassador. We recently had our wedding there and enjoyed every moment. The food was delicious, my guests were pleased and we had an amazing time. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for an amazing event

We had our ceremony in front of the lakeside gazebo which is a stunning setting overlooking the beautiful Innis Lake. Our cocktail hour and reception followed in the Greenhouse with lots of big windows and natural light. The Royal Ambassador staff were helpful in answering all of my questions leading up to and on the day, and were flexible and accommodating with special requests. The service was also fantastic, with a dedicated staff member attending to our specific needs as the bride and groom (i.e. making sure we ate!). Our guests continue to tell us how much they loved the venue, especially the gorgeous sunset over the lake after dinner. It was a perfect day!

Our wedding was on April 27, 2019 in the Embassy Ballroom West. Everyone at the Royal Ambassador was a pleasure to work with - Diana, Daisy, Stella and Marie for day of coordination. Staff made planning extremely easy and were always around to answer questions. They truly went out of their way to ensure all of our needs were met and exceeded. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! Food and service were amazing, bartenders were extremely friendly and ensured our guests were satisfied. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and we continue to receive compliments from our guests for all aspects.

We had our wedding in August at the Royal Ambassador, we loved every part of it. We only had 2 months to plan the whole thing and as usual we were both stressed before we started the process, but when the staff inclusive Daisy and Diana started working with us everything changed. They were very accommodating and helpful, we cannot say how thankful we are for their warm and we can say family touch to the way they handle things, it really helped us with the stress that comes with a wedding.

The event it self was spectacular we had our ceremony at the gazebo which we highly recommend for all couples, the views are breathtaking and the pictures are memorable. The entire event was very well planned and the staff were kind and warm to all guests. The property is very beautiful and isolated but not far from major streets, with the nature element of the ceremony and the grand event hall for the party. The food was a huge part of it for us and I can say that it was very delicious and plentiful we had people who eat and everyone was satisfied, PS, we would recommend the Portuguese sea food buffet for the late dinner, it comes after the main food and with dancing it really helps. The service was excellent

Again thank you to everyone involved with a special shout out to Daisy and Diana you were all fantastic, people were talking about our wedding for months after. You made it a night to remember :).

Kind Wishes

Evgenii and Victoria
