    Super easy to work with, beautiful location!

    This venue is definitely a hidden gem! My husband has lived in Toronto for ten years and we had no idea we were passing by on Lakeshore everyday!

    Truly a beautiful location for your ceremony and a cosy, intimate atmosphere for your reception.

    Robin is so easy to work with. We had a planner she collaborated with easily, but she also has lots of ideas if you don’t have a planner.

    Great bar menu, great vibes, great experience!

    Hi Maddie,
    Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a delight to host you and Mathew on this special day. You were in such good hands with Jessica, it was great to work with you all.
    Thanks again for choosing to celebrate with us!
    All the best,
    The Henley Room Team

    The most underrated / unknown magical venue in Toronto!

    Robin was an absolute DREAM to deal with - she made sure our vision came to life and that it was flawlessly executed. Situated directly on the lake, you really get the best of both worlds - we had our ceremony on the docks overlooking the lake, which was stunning. Afterwards we moved indoors for our reception inside the Henley Room, which oozes class, charm and character. It is such a unique venue and you don’t expect it to be as stunning as it is. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting how breathtaking the venue was - the twinkle lights bringing warmth against the large windows overlooking the lake is hard to beat.

    The venue comfortably fit 95 people for seated service with a dance floor in the middle. It was a great size for the Henley room as it still felt intimate but didn’t feel empty.

    The bar package is also extensive with a significant amount of selections. We upgraded a cocktail and it was a guest favourite! There’s a lot of options with the Henley room to make your wedding truly you.

    In short, if you are getting married in Toronto this is absolutely a venue to check out. Robin is the best coordinator and helps you significantly along the way. 200/10 recommend!

    The Henley Room's reply:

    Katelyn! Thank you SO much for your glowing review! It was such a pleasure to work with you and Alex - we're thrilled that you enjoyed your experience at The Henley Room.
    Wishing you all the best,
    The Henley Room Team

    Wonderful waterfront venue!

    We had a wonderful experience hosting our wedding at the Henley Room in July 2022! Some of our favourite parts of the venue include:
    -unbeatable location right on the waterfront (amazing photo spots on dock and in adjoining park)
    -booking includes an amazing venue / day-of coordinator (Robin)... really cannot overstate enough how helpful it was to have a kind, experienced, responsive and efficient person guiding us through the planning process, lead the day-of set-up/decoration, and keep everything running smoothly on our wedding day
    -great bar space separate from main reception room (nice to make cocktail hour feel distinct and also a quieter place for older guests to go mingle once the dance floor opened); bar was also really well-stocked, including lots of craft beer options
    -beautiful patio overlooking the water (guests loved having a drink and taking photos out there)

    There's about a million other reasons we liked the Henley Room at the Argonaut Rowing Club, but bottom line is that we'd highly recommend it as an event space!

    Robin and Logan are the best people in the wedding business!

    I had been planning my wedding at The Henley Room even before I met my husband! Robin and Logan made my wedding dreams come true! The Henley Room is hands down the most beautiful wedding venue in Toronto! We booked our original wedding date before the pandemic and we were knee deep in planning when the pandemic started. Obviously we never pictured our wedding and planning to be so unpredictable but it was totally worth it when we finally got married at the Henley Room! There were so many sleepless nights planning our wedding but Robin and Logan were so flexible, understandable and calming! They were responsive to all our questions and reassuring as we planned our wedding during a very unpredictable time. They also kept us safe at the wedding and followed all COVID protocols. Our wedding day was exactly what we dreamed of and I still can’t believe it really happened! I would highly recommend this venue!!!

    Snowy, Private Ceremony

    My now husband and I had a small ceremony in the Henley Room in December of 2020. Logan went above and beyond in making everything feel special. The location followed provincial and city Covid rules and made everything as safe as possible. If you're looking for a lakeside wedding with options for indoor and outdoor space, incredible staff, unbeatable views, parking, and a location with a really interesting history the Henley Room is perfect.

    The Henley Room

    Everything from the Henley Room was perfection. Robin and the team were a treat to work with. They were attentive and accommodating throughout the entire process. I don't think there is a better team out there. The space itself is stunning, when we saw it for the first time we booked on the spot. We wanted a venue that would be beautiful but also match our casual vibe, and the Henley Room was the perfect fit. We were lucky enough to have our ceremony on the dock, which might just have the best uninterrupted view of the lake in the city. We were so impressed throughout the whole wedding planning process, and cannot recommend this space enough!

    The Henley Room's reply:

    Brittany! Thank you for your kind words! It was a true delight to work with you and Geoff. I will never forget your amazing first dance :)

    Amazing wedding day

    This venue is gorgeous. We barely needed decorations because the lake speaks for itself. We had about 171 guests, with a tea ceremony, western wedding ceremony, and reception. Although we were worried it would feel cramped, it felt spacious and warm. Robin was such a fantastic coordinator and supported us along the way, and on the day-of was so kind and flexible. She also managed family members respectfully and with patience. We can't thank her enough!
    At the end of the day, we are so happy we chose The Henley Room!

    The Henley Room's reply:

    Christina! Thank you for your words! I'm so glad you and Ivan are happy you chose The Henley Room. You are such a lovely couple - I remember your "First Look" down on the docks - such a very sweet moment!!
    Take care, Robin

    Beautiful venue, amazing staff!

    We got married here in August 2019 and this review is long overdue!!! The venue is STUNNING, their bar package is amazing, very reasonably priced, and above all else Robin is a saint!!! She is so amazing. I had more than one "bridal breakdown" during the planning stages (at one point we thought the dock ceremony would have to be inside due to the water levels) and throughout it all Robin made the whole process seamless. She was so kind, understanding, PATIENT!! She even brought us drinks right to us on the wedding day. All of our guest a year later are still talking about the beautiful views. It was such an easy-going, fun, romantic vibe and I'm so happy we chose this venue. If you are thinking about it at all, I highly recommend you do!!! Also we went with their preferred vendors Blair's Catering and Evolved Entertainment - can't say enough positives about them either!!!! Our dream wedding was perfect! We were so so so happy. Thank you again Robin and the Henley Room!!!

    The Henley Room's reply:

    Jessica!! Thank you so much for your kind words. I was really glad that the water levels cooperated to allow for your dock ceremony, I know how much it meant to you! It was a delight to work with you and Jamie. If you're ever down by the water front, stop by and say Hi! :)
    Take care, Robin

    Exceptional customer service, exceptional location, beautiful wedding!

    Our wedding at the Henley Room (ARC) was just beautiful! We were drawn to the area as I'm from the west end and it's a character building on a stunning waterfront location. We appreciated being able to do the ceremony/ cocktails/ reception all at the same venue, with free parking.
    The ARC did renovations between signing our contract and our actual wedding date. It was stressful but the finished product is lovely, they kept the floor to ceiling windows, which are unbeatable.
    Robin was great to work with from start to finish. Communication was clear and prompt. Her team pulled everything together beautifully, and the existing relationships with Blair's Catering and Chairman Mills are a huge bonus. There were some elements our of her control but Robin and the team handled everything professionally and seamlessly to make our day wonderful.

    The Henley Room's reply:

    Maura! You are Curtis were so understanding during the renovations! I'm so glad that you were happy with the finished product. It was lovely to work with you!

    This was a great choice

    Absolutely loved getting married here. I don’t have a single complaint about it. Robin, the event coordinator who worked with me was wonderful. She was friendly, approachable, and on the ball. She was also just a lovely, sunny person.

    The venue itself was the perfect size for an 80 person event. The view of the lake was spectacular. The free parking on site was also a bonus for my guests who car-pooled. We had a cocktail style reception and Robin was great for helping me with the layout and furniture rentals. We had an outdoor, dock side ceremony and it was chilly but worth it.

    We went with an open bar provided by the venue and I am so happy with that decision. My guests loved their selection and quality. The venue booking included a wine tasting (we picked like 6 wines) and the bar included craft beers and brand name spirits.

    My mom also surprise booked a live owl to show up (with a handler) during the reception. Robin was super patient and accommodating with this unusual surprise.

    I really couldn’t recommend The Henley Room more. Working with them as a vendor was one of the easiest and most worry-free parts of planning my wedding.

    The Henley Room's reply:

    Hillary! Thank you for your kind words. Your wedding was so unique and you were so easy going and fun throughout the process! I will never forget the special hooty guest - what a fun surprise :)
