I cannot thank Granite Brewery & Tied House enough for making our wedding day an absolutely unforgettable experience. From the moment my partner and I stumbled upon this hidden gem over a year ago, we knew we had found something truly special. Our decision to book our 2023 wedding with them was one of the best we've ever made.
Throughout the months leading up to our big day, the dedication and care shown by Sam were nothing short of remarkable. Sam went above and beyond, meeting with us on multiple occasions to address our questions and alleviate any concerns we had. It's clear that the team at Granite Brewery takes immense pride in their work, and their commitment to ensuring every detail was perfect was truly heartwarming.
As the weeks drew closer to the event, we encountered some last-minute changes that could have potentially caused stress and anxiety. However, thanks to the unwavering support and professionalism of both Sam and Chris, we were able to navigate these changes seamlessly. Their flexibility and willingness to accommodate our needs made all the difference and eased our minds during a potentially stressful time.
The wedding day itself was an absolute dream, and that's largely thanks to the outstanding staff at Granite Brewery. Every member of the team demonstrated an exceptional level of service, going above and beyond to make sure every aspect of our celebration was flawless. Their kindness, attention to detail, and genuine warmth made us feel like we were among friends who truly cared about making our day special.
What truly set Granite Brewery & Tied House apart, however, was the incredible sense of humour and lightheartedness they brought to the occasion. Laughter filled the air, both from us and our guests, as the staff effortlessly wove humour into their interactions, creating an atmosphere of joy and relaxation. This made the entire experience not only enjoyable for us, but for everyone in attendance.
I highly recommend Granite Brewery to anyone planning a wedding or any special event. Their team's dedication, expertise, and genuine passion for creating unforgettable moments are unparalleled. From the moment we booked to the last dance of the night, Granite Brewery exceeded our expectations in every way imaginable. Thank you to your remarkable team as you’ve given us a unforgettable experience.

Incredible Venue and Best Staff!
Granite Brewery & Tied House is an incredible restaurant, brewery and wedding venue! My husband and I have always loved Granite, so when it came time to plan our wedding they were an obvious choice for us. Sam made the planning process so smooth as he was always responsive and so detailed in his answers to any questions we had. We were able to do a tasting in advance to help narrow down our menu choices, and Sam helped guide us along the way with any decisions that needed to be made. The Granite staff really made us feel like everything was going to be taken care of and reduced a lot of potential stress leading up to the big day.
We requested to have a rehearsal dinner at Granite the night before the wedding, and they were so accommodating. We were able to practice the ceremony, and a table was set up on the back patio for us to have dinner afterwards. Chris introduced himself to us as the lead staff that would be taking care of us for both the rehearsal and the wedding. He is absolutely incredible and was a pleasure to work with. He ensured that the service was excellent, and really made us feel at ease.
The wedding day at Granite went even better than I could have ever imagined! The Granite staff were all so helpful in getting the venue set up in the afternoon. The space is already beautiful, so we only needed to bring minimal decorations and it really felt like a beautiful wedding space. They have access to a gorgeous courtyard right behind the restaurant where the ceremony took place. Then the back patio was used for cocktail hour, before moving inside the restaurant for the reception. It was incredible to be able to have everything all in one venue so our guests didn’t have to travel, while still feeling like there was a great flow to the evening getting to move between the three different spaces.
We chose to do the plated dinner, and the food and drinks were absolutely amazing. We had guests come up to us after to compliment how good the food was, and talk about how impressed they were with the service. Chris was incredible and really kept the whole reception flowing so smoothly, while also connecting with our other vendors to keep them informed of the timing between each course. After dinner, the dance floor opened and our guests had a great time! I loved that there was a dancefloor for any guests that wanted to dance, but there was also the back patio available for any guests that wanted to relax in a quieter space and just chat instead. The whole day felt so wonderful and intimate, and a big part of that was Granite being such an incredible venue and the staff making everything run so smoothly. I would absolutely recommend Granite to anyone considering it for their wedding venue!

Amazing experience!!!
I cannot thank Granite Brewery enough. I had the best experience for my wedding. Sam and Chris made the process so easy for us. They told me not to stress, and that they had everything under control. They were right. The outdoor ceremony was beautiful. The food and service was incredible. All of my guests had such a fun night. A+++ Thank you
The Granite Brewery & Tied House's reply:
Thank you so much for the kind words, Matt! It was such an honour hosting all your friends and family, and getting to know you and Lina during the whole process. Wishing you both nothing but the best as you begin this next chapter of your lives.

Outstanding
The Granite Brewery and team were amazing to work with. We were quite stressed with the amount of planning we had to do for our wedding. Thankfully we were collaborating with Sam, who helped us plan every step of the way. We felt relieved after he explained what he and his team could offer, and communicated with us regularly (even during his vacation time, which was just outstanding). He and his team were very accommodating as they were ready to assist us with anything we needed, even last-minute changes. Without their flexibility, we could not have had such a beautiful and unforgettable wedding. This review in itself is not enough to express our gratitude and appreciation for The Granite Brewery and the team!

Amazing Experience
Wedding: We had our wedding at the Granite in mid-October 2022 and cannot say enough good things about our experience. We originally met with Ron in November 2021 to view the venue, discuss dates and options as we do not live in the GTA (but both our families do). Needless to say, that first meeting went great & we locked in our date. During the months leading up to the wedding we were dealing with Sam who was more than helpful with all of our questions and getting everything in order for us. Again, being located in Ottawa and only using email & phone calls to communicate worked great for us and our minds were at ease. A couple days before the event we met with Chris (manager) to drop off some decorations and discuss the final few items (seating, final numbers, food allergies, etc.), and he was very professional with us, and you could see he knew what he was doing (I think he said it was their 35th wedding of the year, so that tells you a few things).
Day of the wedding, everything went seamlessly, all was well organized with the guests being seated in the courtyard for the ceremony, followed by cocktails under the tent afterwards. Dinner service was also well organized (buffet), the food was fantastic, and there was more than enough for all of our guests, a lot of which went for second helpings. Desserts, coffee, tea, etc were all served immediately after dinner and all tasted great as well. We did late night snacks as well, which were appreciated by all of our guests and Sam's recommendations for the amounts to order were spot on. Drink services were well done all evening with no one waiting too long at any point. All of our guests have been complimenting how good the venue was, the staff, the food, and the atmosphere.
We would have absolutely no concerns in recommending the Granite for someone's wedding in the future.
The Granite Brewery & Tied House's reply:
Thank you for taking the time to review us, Stacey. It was such a pleasure to host you and Rob on your big day, with all your friends and family in attendance. We wish you both love and happiness as you begin this next chapter of your lives together. Congratulations.
We hope to see you in again soon!
Cheers,
Sam and the Granite Team

Definitely book your wedding or any other event here!
We had our wedding at the Granite in October 2022. Sam and the team at the Granite were phenomenal in making our wedding experience lovely and smooth. Their pricing is very transparent, and available on their website, vs a lot of venues that have a lot of extra and hidden add-ons. They were also very accommodating with our requests like setting up an additional area for a tea ceremony, bringing in our own desserts from our cultures, and even bringing in a mariachi band during the reception! Sam was always very responsive to our emails, which made things easy while we were planning. All in all, we would 101982039482% recommend booking your wedding at the Granite!
The Granite Brewery & Tied House's reply:
Thank you, Krystle, for trusting us with yours and Tania's big day! It was such a pleasure to host you. It was amazing to see all your guests up and dancing together with the mariachi band. What a fun afternoon. All the best to you and Tania as you begin this next chapter of your lives together. Congratulations again!

Most Magical Bohemian Wedding September 11, 2022
The Granite Brewery & Tied House was amazing - we had our wedding their on September 11, 2022. And it was beautiful. It really was a magical day. And I don't say those kinds of words easily. We had approximately 75 guests. There was parking for them that the Granite provided which was perfect, with next day pick-up.
Our ceremony was held in the court yard - we danced down the aisle to the Conga, Gloria Estefan with Shakers and Tambourines. It was very beautiful - the ceremony and reception was very intimate and cozy everyone had a good time. Cocktails and appetizers on the out door patio fantastic. Food was amazing!!!! Beef, Chicken and Veggie Option yum - Veggie option was a really nice pasta! Price was perfect as well - everything in budget under 15K - parking, ceremony (court-yard), reception space, 75 guests, open bar, seated dinner, deco provided. We just showed up and enjoyed the day. I would highly recommended the Granite Brewery especially if your trying to keep cost down. This place is fantastic. The staff was excellent. and we feel we had a really big wedding - it was perfect!
Thank you guys for all your hard work! and special shout out to SAM and CHRIS @ the Granite Brewery thank you for answering emails / phone calls asap and helping us make our day awesome!!! AND PS thank you for letting us bring our Jookie (our puppy) to the ceremony!! He loved it!!!!

Amazing service, food, and experience at a great price
We had out wedding at the granite in September of 2022 and it was absolutely PHENOMENAL. The staff were amazing, the food delicious and they served good sized portions (not too big or too small). The team was incredibly responsive in the planning process and flawlessly executed the vision on the day-of. Really great, nothing bad to say. Oh, and lastly - it was a very fair and reasonable price. A total gem - we got service beyond what we would have expected and felt good about supporting a local business with a long history in the neighbourhood. Win-win!
The Granite Brewery & Tied House's reply:
Thank you for kind words, Erik! It was such a pleasure to host you both. We love bringing our clients' special days to life. Thank you for trusting us! All the best in this next chapter of your lives together!

A day we will never ever forget!!
I can’t put into words how absolutely flawless, beautiful and perfect our wedding was at the granite. From every part of the planning and communication process with Sam, to the execution of the night by the amazing Chris and the ladies who worked their butts off all night to ensure every guest was taken of. I had 95 guests, and every single one of them told me it was the best wedding they had been too. It made me so proud and happy I chose the granite brewery to have our once in a lifetime experience.
I want to relive this day over and over again.
I cannot thank the staff and Sam for how much attention to detail they put into hosting weddings. A beautiful. Perfect. Most fun day of our lives.

Wonderful!!!
We got married this summer at the granite- from the first moment we reached out and contacted them- we knew it was the right fit for us. They were accommodating, easy going and brought our vision to life. Planning was made very simple and stress free. I am so happy we picked the Granite to get married!
The Granite Brewery & Tied House's reply:
Thank you for trusting us with your big day, Shelby! You and Mike were so lovely. It was a pleasure working with you both. All the best in this next chapter of your lives!
