Couldn't ask for a better venue!

We had our wedding at Spencer’s at the Waterfront and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. The entire team was so easy to work with from the start. Emily, our sales manager, was amazing! She made sure everything was organized and every detail was taken care of.

Ben, our event manager, together with our wedding concierge and maitre d went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly on the day. The chefs and staff were all so accommodating and made sure both we and our guests were happy with the food and service.

Jon, the general manager at the restaurant, has always taken great care of us every time we came in for meetings. I’d even make sure to come hungry because I know how good the food is. We’d always stay after to enjoy a meal, and Jon was always there to make sure we were well looked after.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning. Even though it rained on our wedding day, the space still looked beautiful and felt so special. The food was delicious, the service was top-notch, and the whole experience was everything we hoped for.

Highly recommend Spencer’s to anyone looking for a gorgeous waterfront venue with an amazing team that truly cares.

The perfect venue for the perfect day!

From day one, Spencer's was the most perfect experience for our day! They made it incredibly easy to put everything together, customizing what we wanted, and they were there to answer all of our questions throughout. I cannot say enough about Emily and how she made me feel confident in our choices, when we weren't entirely sure, and she recommended photos across the street at the Art Gallery - which was a very smart move in the snowstorm we got married in. On the day of, Ben was the most amazing! He was there to answer any and all questions, and I really didn't feel like I had to worry at all on the day. Our guests were blown away by the delicious food, the beauty of the space, and the incredible service. 11/10!!

Hire a reliable recovery expert the hack angels


Here are my recommendations. THE HACK ANGELS RECOVERY EXPERT is the best choice to recover your lost funds back. I fell victim to a fake online crypto broker with my investment of $958,000. The broker promised me significant profits and I was initially successful in trading, which built trust with the broker. I have never been so inconsolable in my life, having given them my utmost trust only to be fooled in this manner. While looking for help after losing my investment funds. I came across numerous endorsements and testimonials about THE HACK ANGELS RECOVERY EXPERT. I reached out to him without hesitating and the outcome was wonderful. After retrieving the whole money he also worked for my colleague and is in the final stage of retrieving the last investment she made. Their expertise in crypto recovery is impressive, utilizing advanced techniques to track and recover my lost investment funds. Thanks to the experts for the heroic work you do for the helpless and hopeless. If your crypto has been stolen in any way, contact the Expert as soon as possible.

10/10 experience!

We got married last month- and we do not have enough positive things to say about the venue, food, and most importantly the team! Everyone was so helpful, proactive, and genuine. The biggest thank you to Emily, Ben, Sonya, and John- who made a stressful process extremely easy! The team went above our expectations, which we will forever remember and appreciate.
We wholeheartedly recommend Spencer's to anyone seeking a unique venue for their wedding celebration!

Can’t recommend this venue enough!

From the food to the service and everything in between, the Spencer’s team ensured we were at ease throughout the entire planning process. We received such positive feedback from our guests and wedding party, who have said that this was one of the best weddings they’d ever been to. During the reception, we were in awe of how well the Concierge team anticipated our needs by bringing us drinks, and even putting things away in our wedding suite. I’d like to give a special shoutout to Emily and the entire day-of team for allowing us to enjoy every moment of our day without any stress. We knew we made the best decision having our wedding at Spencer’s. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Highly recommend this venue to couples who want a seamless wedding experience - not to mention the fantastic view!

Best venue out there!

For us it was more of a sentimental spot. We’re always in the area with our girls and there for every festival occasion at Spencer’s park. From our first meeting with Spencer’s we just knew it we were meant to have our wedding there! From the food; to their staff, everything was perfect. They truly helped with the planning process and made every step so easy that the day of our wedding was just so stress free.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
