Perfect day at the perfect venue
I truly cannot praise the Waterside Inn enough. We had gone to several wedding venues during our search, many of which tried to position themselves as larger, extravagant, and luxurious wedding venues before stumbling upon The Waterside Inn, but it was love at first sight. Not only was their venue the perfect size and mood for our intimate wedding of sixty people, but the service could not have been better. Our guests are still raving about it and our wedding was almost two months ago now!

Our point of contact, Marlene, was an amazing help throughout the entire planning process, and anything we wanted, she made happen—a true miracle worker. On the night of our event, the banquet manager, Hany, made sure we had everything we needed the second we set foot in the reception room, leaving us wanting for nothing throughout the entirety of the night. We would like to extend our thanks and praise as well to Mohammed and the entirety of the serving, bar, and kitchen staff of the evening, as they were absolutely perfect. The Front Desk staff also ensured us and our guests were able to be checked in smoothly, and assisted attentively with any incidentals.

The Waterside Inn was truly the perfect choice for our wedding, and thanks to their attention and service, we have so many wonderful memories to last a lifetime.I truly cannot praise the Waterside Inn enough.

We couldn't have picked a better venue
This is a A+ venue Marlene is a gem! She helped us plan the wedding beyond our dreams! From explaining the process, helping choose menus to being my right hand the day of she exceeded our expectations. The food and serving staff are top notch- Mohammad and his team helped keep the reception flowing. Our guests complimented every aspect of our wedding and are still talking about how wonderful the night was!This is a A+ venue Marlene is a gem! She helped us plan the wedding beyond our dreams!

Amazing! Could not have gone any better
We had our wedding at the waterside in and it was absolutely perfect. Planning everything from start to finish was so easy and smooth. Marlene was such a pleasure to deal with and accommodated all of our requests to ensure we had a perfect day!
The staff at the waterside inn were likewise fantastic and went above and beyond in making sure our guests were happy and that the bride and groom felt special on the big day!
The pricing was very reasonable and after the event we really feel that that value of what they provided was much more than the cost.
This was the perfect wedding, our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful it was! Seriously cannot overstate how amazing it was working with Marlene and the rest of the staff at the waterside inn!We had our wedding at the waterside in and it was absolutely perfect.

Absolutely Perfect Wedding
Do not hesitate to book The Waterside Inn for your wedding! Our daughter and son in law had the most perfect wedding on July 14th. Marlene goes above and beyond in helping ensure that everything was executed flawlessly. She is very communicative and made us feel at ease in the planning process. The ballroom is beautiful - the pictures on their website do not do it justice! They were so accommodating and flexible. A special shoutout to the staff who went above and beyond in catering to our guests - Mohammed the manager, Kristina, Nikki, our bartender and Tim the chef who gave us an incredible meal. (I am sorry there are some I am forgetting but everyone was wonderful). The location is perfect, the fact that our guests could stay over in beautiful rooms was a bonus and the best part - ours was the only wedding on site. We could not be happier with the whole experience from start to finish!Do not hesitate to book The Waterside Inn for your wedding!

Overall a fun experience.
We did both ceremony and reception on this venue. We wanted a venue that has class and convenience at the same time and this venue has it all. It was close to a GO station which is great for the guests that were commuting from Hamilton and/or Toronto. The fact that it was also a hotel made it easier for guests who wanted to stay over. The food prepared was also delicious and everyone basically enjoyed it to the point where there was almost none left at the buffet table.
Marlene was an awesome coordinator as well. She was very quick with her email responses whenever we had a question. She was also very informative and made wedding planning a little easier for us.
The rooms in the hotel are all beautiful and probably one of the best hotels we've every stayed. We would totally recommend this venue to everyone.We did both ceremony and reception on this venue.

A wonderful experience
It was great working with Marlene and the Waterside Inn staff. Everyone was accommodating and lovely. Marlene was always prompt in responding to emails regarding various matters and gave wonderful suggestions. The food we had for the cocktail reception and lunch reception was delicious. I especially appreciated how we were served some of the hors d'oeuvres during the appetizers as the staff knew that we didn't get a chance to try them during the cocktail reception. The area around the venue is lovely as it's near the water and the ballroom is classy. Wedding planning is a very stressful process but Waterside Inn and everyone there were the least stressful parts of the whole thing.

An actual tailored experience
We never felt stress about venue and catering after this place.
We heard experiences from other vendors that belong to chains of inflexibility, and the simple truth is that going with a big company, you're not the primary concern. We never had any problem getting in touch with someone who had decision making power so we never felt that we were simply being placated .
The value is good, the location on the waterfront is stunning, the halls are beautiful to the point of decorations needed being minimum, the food is of the highest quality. We had to reschedule, rebook, and deal with COVID restrictions on guests ranging from 10 person to 150+ person invite lists and we can't thank this venue and Marlene enough for always having our back.
There's no reason I wouldn't recommend this venue for your wedding.We never felt stress about venue and catering after this place.

Thank you so much Patrick for your appreciative comments! I can't imagine how frustrating of an experience it was to plan a wedding during covid, but we navigated through it together! We were so happy to finally be able to host your wedding, and that you chose to postpone instead of cancel. It was truly a pleasure working with you and your family. I hope to see you all again soon! -

Thank you so much for your wonderful review Susan! It was a pleasure working with you to help organize Annette and Patrick's wedding. Covid was a tough time and I know their wedding was unfortunately postponed multiple times - but I'm happy we were finally able to host it and that you all were so patient during the process. Thank you and I hope we can host you and your family again in the future! -

Fairytale Reception, from beginning to end!
Having our wedding reception at the Waterside Inn was the best decision we could have made. The staff was amazing, our venue coordinator was amazing, and the space was also amazing. We were also very thankful for our bridal suite.
If you book your wedding in through beautiful ballroom, you won't be disappointed.Having our wedding reception at the Waterside Inn was the best decision we could have made.
