    Amazing venue and amazing people

    During the beginning stages of wedding planning, on a whim we decided to make an appointment and drive down to Cambridge from Markham to take a look at some wedding venues.
    We had no intention of settling down on a venue quite so soon (in 2022) for a spring 2024 wedding but Cambridge Mill blew us away. The view was spectacular, it had a European feel and overlooks the Grand River. We didn't want a typical city vibe or banquet hall, we aimed to find something scenic, rustic but also cozy and this venue hit all the marks.
    Megan was the first consultant that we spoke with, she gave us a tour of the grounds and possible room options that would fit our estimated guest count. We instantly loved the Falls Room & Solarium as it had the best views.
    She showed us all the available packages and patiently walked us through the differences, we were able to customize to a certain extent as well. Overall we had really good feelings about Cambridge Mill by the end of our meeting.
    What really solidified the decision was the FOOD! We decided to grab lunch at the restaurant that same day and we were blown away - we tried the salad, burger, pasta and carrot cake. We tried to look at other venues after including 2 other Pearle properties such as Spencers and Ancaster Mill but they couldn't even be compared to the hospitality we received at Cambridge Mill.

    Shortly after, Megan moved into a new role and we hopped on a details call with our new co-ordinator - Amie. We were a bit worried as we had already laid down the ground work with Megan but everything worked out well. All of our notes and plans were seamlessly carried over to Amie and she understood what we wanted without any issue. Working with Amie made wedding planning so much easier - she gave us insightful feedback regarding our timeline, provided good suggestions and was genuinely excited to see it all coming together. We liked the flexibility and making modifications wasn't stressful, she would always make time to speak with us with her tight schedule. All in all, the planning leading up the the wedding went well and they accommodated out of the box requests (ie. early onsite picture, setting up a Bubble Tea Bar, Ramen Bar set up, and Chinese Lion Dancers).

    We had our tasting scheduled 2 months before the wedding in January and we were allowed 2 additional guests to join us. The food was good as we expected and it was really tough to choose only 1 appetizer for our guests. Danielle was our server that day, and she was so amazing and we had a great time chatting with her. We put in a bunch of notes and she reassured us the chef will review everything. We also talked about signature drinks in a purple colour and she said she and they had some ideas in the works. Honestly I didn't think she would remember us, given how there are so many events happening at the Mills. Mid March we went to the Mills to drop off decorations and speak with Amie, on our visit we bumped into Danielle who was working a wedding, she remembered us and we got talking about the signature cocktail again - she said she had an idea and wanted us to try it out. Moments later she brought the prettiest purple drinks for us to try and they were tasty too. I was personally very touched by that gesture and that's how we decided on one of our signature cocktails. Luckily for us she was going to be working with us on our wedding day! We also bumped into Robin the chef, we got talking and then it clicked - he immediately said "hey, you are the couple with the ramen bar!", it was fun seeing everyone get excited about our big day!

    About 2 days before the wedding there was a small misunderstanding regarding the wedding party arrival time for photos with the front desk which caused some stress as it would push back our first look. Luckily, the situation was resolved on the same day and they were extremely apologetic about it. They also provided additional space so both team groom and team bride could take photos without crossing paths.
    On rehearsal day we were greeted with a winter storm near the end of March - however Stephanie welcomed us happily. We went through the schedule together, confirmed some details and walked through the whole ceremony process. The rehearsal itself was very straightforward, the only issue was the heat in the Pavilion was turned off so it was really cold. However she reassured us that it will be warm and toasty on the day of! The whole team was so accommodating, they set everything up and our group went in and finalized the details.

    On the wedding day, Stephanie and Danielle were our main contacts and they were so wonderful to work with, I had actually forgotten my letters that I was supposed to read during my first look, instead of delaying it and waiting for someone to run to my hotel, Stephanie got it printed so there wouldn't be delays. It was a windy and cold spring day, while I was making my way from the main building to the Pavillion during the ceremony, Danielle and the manager held massive umbrellas that would shield me from the wind ensuring my hair wouldn't be messed up and I wouldn't freeze too much, I thought that was such a kind gesture on their part. The team worked quietly and very efficiently, they moved all our ceremony pieces to the reception spaces seamlessly and rearranged the Solarium to fit all our late night eats.
    Speaking about the food, the kitchen staff nailed it from H'or D'oeuvres down to the late nights! We didn't know what kind of hot/cold Hor D'oeuvres we would get - it's the chef's choice per the package we got. Let me tell you, they put together Asian fusion finger foods and it was a hit with our crowd of predominantly Asian guests. The baos, dumplings, pinwheels and the crispy chicken was everything I would have ever wanted - yet we never voiced it out. So we were really impressed.
    The dinner was delicious - I know I'm being biased as we picked the menu items but I'm still amazed how good the food was - we had butternut squash soup, garden salad, stuffed chicken or steak and a chocolate hazelnut mousse. The soup was perfect in every way, sweet and hearty which was ideal for the cold weather. We loved the pears in the salad, but the wow factor was the entrees. They were HUGE portions - the stuffed chicken breast was our favourite, so juicy and tender and flavours of the mushroom sauce and goat cheese stuffing complimented each other nicely. In our tasting notes we asked to have a green veggie for some added colour and they brought out Chinese broccoli - I was mind blown. I was literally expecting zucchini but this was much better than I expected. Most of our guests were surprised to hear we chose a venue in Cambridge instead of back home in Toronto during the planning stages. Needless to say our guests were blown away by everything - the venue, the view and the food. They said "Oh I see why you chose this venue now!" and they are still raving about the food and how amazing it was to this very day.

    Overall I highly recommend Cambridge Mill to all couples looking for a venue, their team is amazing to work with and the people are so genuine.
    I'm really hoping someone from our friend group will get married there, as I would personally love to attend another event at Cambridge Mill!

    Pure excellence

    The Cambridge Mill is not only a breathtaking venue, it has the staff to support their reputation. Amie was excellent to work with during the planning process replying promptly and helping to calm any nerves. Cassidy, Jordan, Evan and all the day of staff were perfection!! There was a mixup with the flourist not sending us rose petals and they went out of their way to make sure our flower girl had something to throw going down the aisle. We can not say enough about them and our guests felt the same. The food was also incredible and we got so many compliments on the meal, dessert and midnight snacks.

    Cambridge Mill's reply:

    Good afternoon, Gabriella & Jamie!

    Thank you so much for your kind words - they are so appreciated!
    We are glad your day was nothing short of perfect!

    Cheers to forever!

    A Dream Come True!

    My husband and I originally booked our wedding at a different venue, but decided to switch halfway through the planning process to the Cambridge Mill. What a night and day experience we had once we began working with the incredible team at the Cambridge Mill! They are so organized and made me feel incredibly confident that everything would run smoothly on the day of. Dalton was our consultant and he was wonderful at answering my many, many questions throughout the planning process. He ensured no details were missed, and was accommodating if we decided to change things. On the actual day of the wedding – all I can say is WOW! Evan and Holly were absolute rockstars. Every single person in my bridal party complimented Evan and Holly on how they kept us organized and on time, and treated us so well. Holly made sure we always had everything we could possibly need – she went absolutely above and beyond. Every time I had a question or request, they were both receptive and flexible. We had a couple of tiny hiccups, like our guestbook had gone missing, and they immediately came up with perfect solutions for us. My wedding day wouldn’t have gone as smoothly as it did without them!

    The wedding itself was gorgeous and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Also, the food is INCREDIBLE – I still have guests raving to us about how good everything tasted. You will not regret booking your wedding here! Thank you so much to the team at the Cambridge Mill for the best wedding I could have ever imagined!

    Cambridge Mill's reply:

    Good morning Mr. & Mrs. Medeiros!

    Thank you for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure hosting your wedding and thank you for allowing us to celebrate a magical day full of love with you and your loved ones. We wish you and Jason all the best in your lives together and we look forward to celebrating more magical moments with you soon!

    Warm Regards,
    Cambridge Mill Team

    Our Wedding would not have been the same without Cambridge Mill!!

    When we started out our wedding journey we knew there would be a lot of difficult and important decisions to make... one of the easiest decisions we made was picking Cambridge Mill as our wedding venue. I could probably (and happily) spend hours and hours raving about what an incredible venue Cambridge Mill is but I feel like I would still not be able to do it justice. From start to finish their staff are absolutely awesome, they are extremely responsive (and trust me as I was planning the wedding without the help of a coordinator I had ALOT of questions) and their staff never made be feeling like I was bothering them or burdening them with too many questions. I am a very visual person and visited the site multiple times during the process and each time I kept asking to see the Falls room (the room we picked) and each time the staff welcomed me asking and encouraged me to go and see the room and get the visuals I needed. Dalton was our coordinator and he was incredible! During the process we had a few hurdles to clear and Dalton made us feel relaxed and supported and assured us that he would work with us to make sure everything worked out. Our day of coordinator provided by the venue was Maddie and she was an absolute GEM! We can honestly say that if it was not for her our day would not have gone as smoothly as it did. She made us feel special and it just added so much more to our day. She was prepared and organized and made sure everything from start to finish was exactly what we envisioned. She really is the reason that my husband and I could truly relax and enjoy our day because we knew we could trust Maddie which is a BIG deal. She was a treasure to us and our wedding party that my maid-of-honour said she would get married at Cambridge Mill, but only if Maddie was part of her team. But it is not only the staff that make this venue the perfect choice for a wedding it is the location and atmosphere. Pearle Hospitality has really gone above and beyond to make this location a stunning beauty. The mill is a perfect combination of rustic-elegance which is EXACTLY what me and my husband were looking for in our venue and the Pavilion (ceremony space) is a DREAM COME TRUE. It gives you the perfect sense of an outdoor venue with big beautiful floor to ceiling glass walls while still being covered so that you may enjoy the river view all times of the year! And the FOOD is drool worthy. We received all sorts of compliments about how delicious the food was, and guests even said they planned to come back and enjoy a meal at the restaurant they loved the food so much. Me and my husband adore everything about Cambridge Mill and would recommend them to ANYONE looking to get married, you could not ask for anything better and we 10000000% know that our wedding day - one of the most important days of your life - would not have been the same without Cambridge Mill.

    Cambridge Mill's reply:

    Good afternoon Erin & Ruben!

    Thank you so much for your kind words, we are so happy we were able to make your special day come to life.
    We wish you and Ruben all the best in your lives together as husband and wife, and we look forward to celebrating more milestones with you both soon!
    And, thank you for sharing all those lovely photos with us!
    Warm Regards,
    Cambridge Mill Team

    The best wedding venue

    I am truly not even sure how to begin to express the absolutely amazing experience we had getting married at the Cambridge Mill. The Pearle Vendors team so amazing to work with and they made the wedding planning process SO easy. The venue is STUNNING with so many amazing photo locations around the site. The team that we worked with was SO kind and made all our guests feel so welcomed and taken care of and I am STILL receiving compliments from friends about how amazing the staff, the venue, and the food was. All this to say, if you are looking for a venue that will work with you and work for you, The Cambridge Mill is it.

    A picturesque venue!

    We had the most magical wedding ceremony at the Cambridge Mill. From the stunning riverside location, to the special events team’s willingness to go above and beyond, it was an unforgettable experience.

    We instantly fell in love with the Mill’s breathtaking views and elegant atmosphere. We were impressed by the team’s friendliness, organization and dedication to making sure our day was everything we’d dreamt of.

    We appreciated that the Mill was conveniently located next to Mill Race Park so we could capture even more wedding photos, and were impressed that the wedding package included a trusted, professional, and reliable officiant as it was one less thing for us to stress about.

    Thank you, Cambridge Mill, for making our special day truly extraordinary!

    Cambridge Mill made it so easy for us! They truly took so much of the wedding planning stress off our plates and were incredible with responses. The venue was beautiful and we couldn’t have asked for more on our special day!

    I can’t say enough good things about this venue!

    Cambridge Mill knocked it out of the park for our special day. From the food, to the staff & everything in-between, I was the most relaxed on my wedding day because of their hospitality, time management skills, communication skills & professionalism. Maddi (our Concierge) & Dalton (our Wedding Consultant) were both a pleasure to work with. We would happily recommend Cambridge Mill to everyone we know.
