Nicole was a clear standout from the moment we chatted with her during our venue tour. She was attentive to all of our questions and requests, making the planning process seamless. On the day of our wedding, we had the entire venue to ourselves which was amazing. We leveraged the ballroom side for ceremony and cocktail hour and used the lodge side for reception. Both sides of the venue were warm, grand, and inviting - the perfect backdrop for our special celebration. The team supported us with every aspect, ensuring our in-the-round ceremony arrangements were perfect and that all of our guests were comfortable. Our guests told us the food was out of control amazing! Like they are still talking about it. (I say our guests because my husband and I had like 7 bites of food the entire experience lol.) We are so grateful to the entire Stone House team for helping to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.

Waterloo Village is a truly magical venue, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience there. We first visited for a wedding and were immediately captivated by the rustic charm and historic atmosphere. After seeing how seamlessly everything ran that day, we knew it was the perfect place for our own wedding. The staff at Waterloo Village is outstanding—extremely friendly, helpful, and refreshingly low-pressure. They genuinely focus on making your day special without pushing you to spend beyond your budget. Their professionalism and warmth made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. One of the highlights is their catering partner, JAM. Their commitment to farm-to-table dining is evident in every dish. Many of the ingredients are sourced fresh, some even from their urban garden, which adds a special touch. The food is not only fresh but absolutely delicious. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with incredible staff and top-notch food, Waterloo Village is a fantastic choice!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Bello Giorno Estate. The location of the estate is adjacent to a small river, which made for absolutely spectacular wedding photos. Think Secret Garden meets Italian Villa! We also loved the intimate feel of the banquet hall, which was the perfect fit for our wedding size. Our guests loved the food and service. Even though we planned our wedding remotely, working with Monica and Stephanie was incredibly easy, as they were very responsive to both email and phone calls. We felt like they went above and beyond to accommodate us and tailor our wedding so it would be perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to hold our wedding. Thank you Bello Giorno!
