Peter and Sally wedding
We had our wedding at Spencer’s, and it was truly everything we dreamed of and more.
From the very beginning, the entire team was incredibly supportive, organized, and professional. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Spencer’s made the process feel seamless. Everything was structured and well thought out, which gave us so much confidence throughout the planning journey.
Our day-of coordinator was absolutely amazing. She attended our rehearsal, answered all of our questions, and made us feel completely at ease before the big day. Throughout the evening, she checked in on us regularly and made sure everything was running smoothly. Her attentiveness and kindness allowed us to relax and fully enjoy every moment.
The venue itself is stunning, and the waterfront views created the perfect backdrop for our wedding. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful everything was. The food and drinks were also a huge hit, and we received so many compliments from our family and friends.
Every detail came together perfectly, and our wedding day felt truly magical. Choosing Spencer’s was one of the best decisions we made during the planning process. In fact, it was love at first sight—I remember having brunch there over 15 years ago and thinking it would be my dream wedding venue one day. Having that dream come true exceeded all expectations.
We are so grateful to the entire Spencer’s team for making our wedding day unforgettable. We would highly recommend Spencer’s to any couple looking for a beautiful venue, exceptional service, and a stress-free planning experience.

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!
From the very beginning, Lyndsay was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, organized, and incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. She made sure every detail was taken care of and helped us feel confident that everything would come together perfectly. Her guidance and support played a huge role in making our wedding day run so smoothly.
On the day itself, the entire Spencer’s staff went above and beyond. Everyone was professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the best experience possible. We especially want to recognize Ben, who was incredibly helpful throughout the day. My husband was feeling some wedding-day nerves, and Ben’s kindness, reassurance, and support meant so much to him.
Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and truly went off without a hitch. We were able to relax and enjoy every moment because we knew we were in such capable hands. We are so grateful to Lyndsay, Ben, the entire Spencer’s team, and everyone at Pearle Hospitality for helping create a day that exceeded all of our expectations.
We would highly recommend Spencer’s at the Waterfront to any couple looking for a stunning venue with an exceptional team behind it!Spencer's at The Waterfront's reply:

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 at The Waterfront's reply:
Britnei & Ed,
Congratulations!! We are thrilled to have spent such a beautiful day with you and your loved ones. We cannot wait to celebrate future anniversaries with you!

Melissa Sent on 07/02/2026A perfect setting for our special day!
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!Spencer's at The Waterfront's reply:
Congratulations Melissa & Jason!
Thank you for the kind words. We are so honoured to have been a part of your wedding day and cannot wait to celebrate future anniversaries with you both!

Our Wedding At Spencer’s At The Waterfront
Our wedding at Spencer’s At The Waterfront was an absolute dream! From the very beginning, the team was beyond accommodating—they went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect and that we felt taken care of. The staff was attentive, professional, and so kind throughout the entire day and through the entire process. To top it all off, they even surprised us with a beautiful personalized gift at the end of the night—an engraved knife set with both our names and wedding date—which was such a thoughtful and surprising touch we’ll cherish forever. We couldn’t imagine a better place to celebrate our wedding and are so grateful to the entire team for making our day unforgettable!!Spencer's at The Waterfront's reply:
Gabrielle and John! Congratulations!
We are so thrilled to hear you enjoyed your experience. It means so much to know that you loved working with us as much as we loved working with you! All the best in your beautiful future together!

We got married on June 30, 2025 at Spencer's. What drew us in from the beginning was how beautiful the venue was. When we did our walk-through a year ago, we really loved the the tall glass windows by the waterfront. On the wedding day, nothing prepared us for how beautiful it was in the evening. With the sun setting, and the dimly lit room being illuminated by candles, it really turned the wedding day into a magical experience.
However, what we appreciated the most was the Spencer's Special Events Team. They did an absolutely phenomenal job at making this process as stress-free as possible. We were assigned a wedding coordinator (Lyndsay) and she was extremely detailed in her approach. During our check-in meetings, we explained to her our vision for our wedding and she was able to ask us question we never thought of. This was extremely helpful because it helped turn our vision into something we could implement. Lyndsay's attention to detail really made us confident that we were in the right hands throughout the process.
The menu tasting experience was also really fun. The Spencer's staff and sommelier explained to us all the food and wine options we had, and were really informative. The food was also all amazing.
During our wedding day, our maitre d' from Spencer's was so kind and accommodating. The wedding day went by FAST - one thing after another, it was constant. It's hard to take care of ourselves during a hectic day such as making sure we had time to even eat. But our maitre d' made us feel comfortable, giving us food, drink, and anything we needed to make sure we were enjoying our own wedding.
Overall, it was such a magical experience. The beauty of the venue had a large role, but the Spencer's team themselves played just as important of a role in making the day run smoothly. We wish we could re-live the wedding day at Spencer's, but future anniversary brunches there will have to do. -
