Our experience at Waterstone for our wedding was amazing. We had Meaghan as our wedding coordinator and I cannot say enough good things about her. She accommodated us for all our meetings around our work schedules. She was very responsive over email or text with any questions. She helped us tremendously with all her experience on making decisions, coming up with a timeline, and not forgetting anything. Her calm and supportive temperament was greatly appreciated the day of the wedding when stress and nerves started to take hold. She made sure everything ran smoothly and everything was how we wanted it.
Waterstone in general has a special place in my heart already from growing up working and riding in the riding school on the property, but the venue itself couldn't have been more perfect. Everyone could not stop talking about the beauty of the ceremony in the barn. Cocktail hour and the sunset out on the patio was perfect. The food by Cibo was amazing, everyone had clean plates and were raving about the short ribs. The pictures by the ivy wall came out stunning. Overall, highly recommend Waterstone as a wedding venue, I couldn't have imagined my wedding day taking place anywhere else! -

This venue is a combination between a large estate with a rustic barn and a cozy building for reception. There are different kinds of areas foe you to hold the ceremony at - we chose to hold ours at the barn. The sunlight peeking through the cracks between the wooden barn is like a wedding ceremony in heaven. The church benches in the barn gives off a traditional wedding vibe but with a rustic twist.
The large plot of land they own is shared with the horses where you can get some magical moments with them for your wedding shoots. The highlight is definitely our sunset photos during October with some of the leaves changing colours.
The reception building itself is spacious and the bridal suite is huge. The venue itself has plenty of beautiful sunlit areas for the photographers to capture your moments.
Meaghan was our coordinator and she has been responsive and supportive throughout the 2 years we’ve been planning. Her hands on approach saved us from so many things on the day of. She was basically a do-everything helper and it saved our butts so many times.
We’ve went to other venues before choosing Waterstone and the combination of communication, facility and value is unbeatable. Forget Casa Loma..you don’t need a dream wedding in a castle. Forget all the other popular venues in Toronto. You can’t find horses, greenery, large open space, sunset photos and a rustic barn all at once anywhere else. You can’t even compare this venue with any others! -

Waterstone is the venue dreams are made of — and Meaghan is the coordinator dreams are made of too. She’s a friend of ours and reached out when we got engaged to invite us to consider Waterstone as our wedding venue. The moment we arrived we knew it was the one. Standing in the barn, looking down the aisle, I knew it was meant to be.
Throughout the whole process Meaghan and the Waterstone team were so attentive, making sure we had everything we needed and making sure we kept up with the timeline. No question was too silly and no request was too big. They provided us with a planning binder that included everything we would need to plan our day.
The food was out of this world. There aren’t enough words to describe how incredible it was. The chef and his team are so talented. Everything was prepared so well and tasted so so good. It’s honestly some of the best food I’ve had in my life. The servers were amazing as well; they ensured my husband and I were able to eat our food (even when getting pulled in 6 different directions) which was such a blessing. They were super helpful at the end of the night as well, ensuring we had everything packed and ready to go.
Waterstone boasts so many beautiful photo opportunities as well! And every detail of the venue is picture perfect.
Finally, Meaghan our coordinator is the best. Her love, patience and flexibility are unmatched. My mother in law died 3 weeks before our wedding and Meaghan was such a huge support and offered so much comfort and love to my husband and I as we navigated everything. She’s so talented and will go above and beyond to ensure you have the perfect day. -

I can't say enough great things about the team here at Waterstone. A beautiful venue is one thing but the people working there is more important.
Our coordinator Meaghan was organized, funny, wonderful and experienced, as well as Cynthia being an absolute delight to work with. We had scheduled meetings, our tasting (which was a lovely experience), regular email check ins, and clear communication with them which made me feel calm and relaxed. It was great to have Meaghan there the day of every step of the way so I had no need to hire a wedding planner for the day of.
We had seen some venues in Cambridge, Kitchener, and PEC, but being from Toronto this was the most affordable compared to those venues, most convenient for a couple who wanted a country feel, along with having the benefit of most things being included in the total price ( as opposed to some venues who charge for every single little thing which can be very overwhelming).
I should note that we got engaged end of October 2023 and I was easily able to plan this wedding with my partner in under 6 months, with zero head start.
Run, don't walk, to Waterstone. Our guests keep talking about how incredibly beautiful our venue was, and what a great time they had. Your wedding planning should be fun, not stressful.

Susan F. Sent on 15/07/2024Our June 2024 wedding
On a near perfect day 1 month ago on June 14, 2024 we married at Waterstone. From the moment we first saw the venue a year ago–we loved it! The expansive property including the Century barn for the ceremony and the space for the reception with the beautiful patio overlooking rolling hills made for an idyllic setting. Meaghan, our coordinator from Waterstone, was so easy to work with–anything was possible! For us, food and drink was very important. We met with David from Cibo – the catering company affiliated with Waterstone, a few times (at a tasting evening and at an open house) and we emailed a few times to create the menu that was perfect for us–incorporating some cultural/religious and regional foods/courses. Having the ability to stock our own bar, by having a special occasion permit, allowed us to pick wines and spirits/drinks that were the quality we wanted and from the regions around the world that were important to us. Our late-night table was a creation of especially important foods that displayed our heritage and roots. The team at Waterstone allowed us to customize the day from beginning to end without hesitation! They started with a standard price and added on the costs for features that were important for us and requested by us. The reviews from our guests were exactly what we had hoped to hear–great food (served hot), great wine, great venue and great music–we also hired a great band! There were few negatives/criticisms. If I had to name a couple - I would say having to take away all our left over wine/drinks and all our belongings from the late night table and be out of the venue for 1 am was difficult. Also, the bridal suite – in the basement is ok as far as bathroom and room for changing – mirrors for freshening up, but there is very little furniture – it would’ve been nice to have some cozy couches/chairs to make it a more welcoming space for the special day. That said, I still would not have wanted our wedding anywhere else! -

Emily L. Sent on 15/07/2024Amazing experience!
I had my wedding at WaterStone in June 2024 after booking it a year in advance. From start to finish, the entire experience was amazing. Meaghan, our coordinator, as well as Devin and Cynthia were professional, friendly and amazing to work with. We had regular and prompt communication as well as multiple meetings through the year of planning where Meaghan was able to efficiently walk us through the process. The venue itself is so beautiful, especially the ceremony barn location. All our guests commented on how incredible the experience was and what a fun time they had. The location is perfect for photos - especially if you love horses! We went with Cibo catering at their recommendation and the food was plentiful and delicious. The bar staff was excellent as well and accommodating. WaterStone was always helpful, working with us throughout the year and delivering exceptional, above-and-beyond service on the wedding day. We are so grateful to the team for making our wedding such a magical experience. Book with them for your event, you won't regret it!! -

After looking at multiple venues we decided on Waterstone Estate and Farms. We loved the tranquility of the open spaces. Such a beautiful venue! Used the barn for the ceremony and it was amazing. Reception was awesome as well. Meaghan went above and beyond to make the day run smoothly. Any issue we had she was on it. Really helped us to just enjoy the day and not stress over the little things. Even leading up to the big day she was always there with a quick reply and solution for us. If you're looking for a country type setting for your wedding...this is the place!!! AAAA+++Waterstone Estate and Farms's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Your ceremony was lovely. The Heritage Barn looked magical with the beautiful rattan lighting and pampas grass, and the horse carriage was such a nice touch to end the ceremony.
The Clubhouse looked gorgeous with your tall centrepieces and your head table was framed so beautifully with candles and pampas grass. One of the highlights of the evening being Mylene’s heartwarming serenade to you, Brian. That brought us all to tears!
We are so happy to hear that you and your guests loved the venue so much. Your vision came to life! It was such a pleasure to work with you both to create the wedding of your dreams! We wish you many more years of love and happiness! -

We absolutely love WaterStone! First of all, it’s a stunning property. With the sun setting, it was magical.
Meaghan, our coordinator, was wonderful to work with! You can tell she loves what she does, as she was genuinely excited for us as a couple & for our big day! She’s very friendly, helpful & organized; planning our wedding with her was fun! She even gave us great recommendations for other vendors.
The food was also great! Our guests all raved about their meals.
Overall, it was the best day! Everything came together perfectly. We can’t recommend WaterStone enough. -
