We had our wedding August 28th and couldn’t be more thrilled with how it went. Despite having a bit of instability with consultants over the 2 years that we had booked the venue, we ultimately had Nicole and Lyndsay for our final few appointments and they were both absolutely amazing. Both of their attention to detail, excellent organization, quick responses to our questions and updates, and helpful suggestions were so appreciated. Make sure if you book this venue to ask lots of questions about details that are important to you regarding the venue and your contract, and they will likely accommodate your requests. This admittedly was tricky sometimes after having moved through so many different consultants/events staff from the original 2 year appointment and the final 1 year-6 month mark, but ultimately Nicole and Lyndsay were able to assist with everything we needed and we couldn’t be more grateful to them for stepping up to help us and give us stability and consistency in the final stretch.

The team at Spencer’s on the day-of was amazing. We had Abby and Brenna as our day-of team and needless to say they did an amazing job. It was completely stress free for me, my wedding party, and my guests as the team took care of setting everything up for us perfectly (e.g. welcome table decor, table runners, favours, place cards, table numbers, bar signage/decor). They were also quick to refill drinks, ask us if we needed anything at our table, and checked in on us throughout the day to make sure we were all good. Their cleanup at the end of the night was also so efficient and careful, and that made the end of the night and picking our items up the following day super easy. Once again, we and our guests had nothing to worry about on the day-of, and that’s absolutely necessary to a great experience.

I think it almost goes without saying but the food was also amazing of course, and make sure at your menu tasting to ask to try the signature cocktails because those are delicious as well! So many guests complimented the food and the cocktails and the night’s service. The venue also served our cake at late night and had takeaway boxes for leftover snacks and cake at the end of the night which was much appreciated.

Tip: We also booked a Pearle preferred photographer and a DJ from Spencer’s preferred vendors, which I think was an absolute life saver. For anyone planning a wedding at this venue or a Pearle venue, I think it’s SO beneficial to book vendors that are familiar with the space, timeline, and flow of the weddings because it makes the night run so smooth for you as a couple. When your vendors know what to expect and how the venue operates, it will really make your night hassle free and you’ll be able to just leave it to the professionals to take care of everything for you. The preferred vendors and Spencer’s have easy communication because they’re all familiar with each other, so it will make your night and planning so much easier and we really appreciated the good relationship between our vendors and Spencer’s for this reason.

Overall, like I said, we had an amazing wedding night and really can’t thank Spencer’s enough for that. It might seem like a high price point if you’re starting planning (though I never envisioned having my wedding at any venue other than Spencer’s, so I don’t actually have anything to compare price to) but the quality of service, coordination, and food I think is all worth the price. We had about 90 guests for reference. They gave us custom steak knives as a gift and a handwritten card, which is a lovely touch. Our provided officiant Cherie was amazing. And our guests still can’t stop raving about the venue, its beauty, and the wonderful service even over 2 weeks later. Even with a few bumps in our long planning process, I know with everything in totality that the Spencer’s team gave us such an amazing experience on our wedding day and definitely lived up to their high calibre of expectations, and we are so thrilled with the way our wedding went.

Our experience with Spencer’s at the Waterfront was wonderful from start to finish. From our very first meeting with Lyndsay, we felt that we were in very experienced and capable hands. She clearly knows weddings inside and out, but what stood out most was how much she genuinely loves what she does.

Planning a wedding on your own can be overwhelming, but the team made the process feel much easier. Everyone was responsive, helpful, and always willing to provide guidance when we needed it. Having a team that was so accessible and supportive throughout the planning process gave us a lot of peace of mind.

The rehearsal was also extremely helpful. Our coordinator was patient, thorough, and made sure we understood exactly how everything would flow, which made the actual day feel very smooth and organized.

Overall, Spencer’s is an incredible venue, but what really made our experience stand out was the people. We felt supported from beginning to end and could truly enjoy our wedding day knowing everything was in good hands. We would absolutely recommend Spencer’s to couples looking for a venue with an experienced and caring team.

We had an amazing experience hosting our wedding at Spencer’s at the Waterfront. The venue was beautiful, the food was fantastic, and the entire team was incredibly attentive. Our guests had so many great things to say about the service and atmosphere.

Alexandra was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process - she was organized, responsive, and made everything feel effortless. We’re so grateful to the entire team for helping make our wedding such a memorable day.

We couldn’t recommend Spencer’s more!

We had our wedding at Spencer's at the Waterfront this summer. The venue looked completely stunning, the entire team was incredibly attentive and friendly, and the food was fantastic.

We had the most incredible wedding at Spencer’s at the Waterfront on June 7, 2026, and we cannot thank the team enough for making our day so special!

Her guidance and support played a huge role in making our wedding day run so smoothly.

We held our wedding at Spencer's at the Waterfront on March 29, 2026 and could not have asked for a better experience from start to finish.

From the moment we started planning, Lyndsey and the team were an absolute joy to work with. The collaboration over the several months leading up to our wedding was seamless. They were responsive, genuinely caring, and attentive to every little detail. They took what could have been an overwhelming process and made it something we actually enjoyed.

The day-of staff were next level. Every single person was proactive, warm, and clearly went above and beyond to make sure we and our guests were taken care of. From the cocktail reception through dinner service, the attention and kindness was something our guests couldn't stop talking about. Multiple guests came up to us throughout the night to rave about how wonderful the service was, including one guest who is notoriously hard to please. That says everything about the kind of team Spencer's has built.

Our wedding day was more beautiful than we ever could have dreamed, and we know that's because of the heart and effort the entire Spencer's team put into making it happen. We can't recommend them enough. If you're looking for a venue with stunning atmosphere and a team that truly cares, look no further.

My husband and I got married here this past weekend. So happy we found Spencer's. Every step of the journey was truly amazing and SO SMOOTH. Not only is the venue beautiful but the team working there are such beautiful and amazing people. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with. They truly care about making your wedding experience unforgettable. We are so happy with our decision to get married here. Food was great, atmosphere was great, even the serving staff and bartenders were so kind. We loved it, our guests loved it. 10/10 experience no notes to give!!! Everything exceeded our expectations and our wedding was even better than we could have imagined. We would highly recommend getting married here.

My wife and I had our wedding at Spencer’s this past weekend, and it was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish.

From the very beginning, the food tasting experience was incredible high quality, thoughtfully prepared, and a clear preview of what was to come. On the wedding day itself, Spencer’s absolutely delivered. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the food, the service, and the stunning venue.

Working with Lyndsay and Ben was an absolute pleasure. They set the standard for what hospitality and professionalism should look like. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but they made the entire process feel seamless and well-managed. The entire Spencer’s team was attentive, organized, and genuinely cared about making our day special.

One thing that really stood out to us, especially having attended many weddings as guests, was the bar service. At a lot of weddings, you can tell the alcohol is watered down. That was definitely not the case here. Spencer’s delivered quality across the board, and it didn’t go unnoticed by our guests.

When it comes to value, Spencer’s is truly second to none. The level of service, food quality, and overall experience you receive far exceeds expectations.

We would highly recommend this venue without hesitation. Our wedding exceeded everything we imagined, and many of our guests said it was one of, if not the best weddings they’ve ever attended.

Spencer's was the second venue we toured in our planning process and it immediately captured us. We knew it would be such a gorgeous place to celebrate our love and commitment and start this next chapter in our lives.
The Observatory is absolutely stunning with such a picturesque view of the lake - it has some very nice unique touches that add elegance, romance and whimsy.
Unfortunately initial numbers didn't work so our search continued. Nothing felt right and we kept looking back at Spencer's. After some time, we reached back out to the team to discuss alternative options and were able to work with the incredibly flexible team to find a date that worked!
Throughout the entire planning process, each contact with the team was timely, professional, and reassured us that we had made the right decision. Not a single member of the team left anything other than a positive impression and we thank everyone so much! We offer special thanks to Alex, Ben, and Kaveli (as well as one other team member who was helping lead everything on the day of but her name escapes me....sorry!).
On the day of, neither of us could stop smiling. It truly was the most magical day and made that way thanks to every single one of the Spencer's team who clearly enjoy what they do as it translates into the care and hospitality they showed to us and our guests. The food and drinks were so good, highly recommend the beef tenderloin and late night poutine.
Thank you so much to everyone on the team for helping us plan and host such an incredible day!
