About

Emmanuel United Church is a tranquil wedding venue nestled in the heart of uptown Waterloo, Ontario. When your big day finally arrives, invite your friends and family to celebrate in this intimate and romantic sanctuary. With outstanding acoustics and room for both ceremonies and receptions, it will set the stage for endless happy memories.

Facilities and Capacity

At Emmanuel United Church, you'll have a choice of three event spaces:

  • The Hearth Room is perfect for intimate gatherings of up to 50 guests for a ceremony, or a cosy meal.
  • The Fellowship Hall can accommodate up to 200 guests for a ceremony, or up to 120 guests for meal
  • The Sanctuary can accomodate up to 250 guests on two levels.

All three rooms have plenty of natural light and a rustic aesthetic that blends white with warm wood tones.

As an example, after saying 'I do,' in our Sanctuary, you can take a stroll to Waterloo Park, which provides a lovely setting for outdoor pictures while your guests enjoy the reception in the Fellowship Hall. You'll have everything you need for an unforgettable setting.

The Fellowship Hall offers an attached commercial kitchen and long tables while the Hearth Room has a smaller kitchen and tables that seat six people each. Tables and furniture can be arranged to suit your needs.

As a venue-only rental, the bar and cuisine are at your discretion. The sanctuary and reception area may be decorated as desired to ensure a unique and memorable event.

Wonderful experience

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Emmanuel United Church. Every detail was thoughtfully managed, making our special day seamless and memorable. A huge thank you to Neal, who went above and beyond to assist us throughout the entire process. His professionalism, patience, and guidance kept us calm and confident, and he made sure everything ran smoothly. From setup to coordination on the big day, Neal’s dedication truly made a difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend to any couple looking for a warm and supportive venue.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
