Easy Breezy!
Harding was so easy to work with. First, The venue itself is beautiful. We didn't even need outdoor decor because of the beautiful florals and greenery already there. The glass pavilion was fantastic for the reception as it was airconditioned on our hot August 25th date. The furniture that was supplied for basic ceremony, cocktail hour and reception was fantastic - you really don't need to upgrade what they already provide.
Second, our day of coordinator, Chyanne was amazing! She helped us stay organized and on top of any detail that we did or didn't think of. We had a few meetings with her and she was always accessible by email to go over any details. It was also great we were able to bring our decor a month in advance for her to set up day of. She really made the day go by without a hitch. She also was so patient with us and our running behind. And she was wonderful to work with our vendors.
Third, the food and alcohol was wonderful, I was so glad we chose the food stations and premium bar because the variety was fantastic. Harding has their own catering which meant one less vendor to outsource. Everyone commended us on how good the food was (the 416 station, spud bar and pizza station were my favourites! SOOOO good) and how wonderful the bartender was (she had several requests for "something with [insert booze of choice]" and the guests loved it).
We couldn't have asked for a better experience!
We were able to enjoy our day with little to no stress thanks to Chyanne and the Harding Waterfront Team!!! Couldn't recommend them enough!

The perfect venue!
My husband and I wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks to Joan, Joceila and their incredible staff for making our wedding day so wonderful! The venue itself was breathtaking—well-maintained and beautifully designed. The ambiance created a magical atmosphere, making it the perfect setting for our special day. We got some incredible photos thanks to the stunning venue and (since we did everything on site), it made for a much calmer day with no need for worrying about transportation
The food was absolutely incredible, even better than our tasting. Our guests haven't stopped raving about how delicious everything was! The caring staff, beautifully presented dishes, and exquisite flavors made for an unforgettable dining experience. I highly recommend the Mushroom & Cheese Agnolotti - every guest (even those who aren't huge fans of mushrooms) loved it! I have not stopped thinking about it since!
The staff were lovely and attentive, ensuring every detail was taken care of seamlessly. We greatly appreciated how their team carefully packed up food for us and helped ensure we didn't forget any important mementos. Their thoughtfulness and care did not go unnoticed. When we went back to pick up a few forgotten items a week after our wedding, staff we met on the day remembered us by name! It is rare to be met with such genuine care!
Our guests repeatedly mentioned how welcomed they felt, and we attribute that warm, inviting atmosphere to the exceptional staff at Harding. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect, and it truly was. Our family and friends felt the love and care from their team, making the celebration even more special. This was in small ways like making sure guests needs were attended to, and other ways like check-ins and genuine complements.
We are forever grateful to Joan and the team for making our day so special. We will certainly keep our eyes open for more opportunities to celebrate at Harding! The entire experience exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't be happier.
We are extremely grateful to Joan, for all her advice and support throughout the planning process; she was immensely helpful! Her guidance and expertise ensured everything went smoothly, and we felt completely supported every step of the way.

Dream wedding venue!
We were blown away with Harding Waterfront Estate and the exceptional quality that they provided! We had a shorter 9 month engagement, and we were lucky enough to secure a spot at the venue. The team was in constant communication with us, and would answer any questions we had (and we had a lot) timely. They also worked very well with our Day Of/Month of Coordinator and helped ensure everything ran smoothly.
The venue is absolutely stunning and the service was impeccable. We continue to get compliments on our food and the great customer service – staff even poured Gingerale in champagne glasses for our pregnant guests so they wouldn’t feel left out during the champage toasts.
As our wedding was in mid-October, the only drawback was that it was cold and the tent’s heating was a bit temperamental during the reception. The kitchen is outside the tent so one of the side doors were constantly open for the services. The front of the tent was hotter than the back, and sometimes it would be really hot, while other times really cold. However, we would address these concerns with the team and they would adjust the temperature as needed.
Overall, we had an incredible night and our guests continue to tell us how stunning the venue was. Thank you to the Harding team for making our dream wedding possible.

Dream Garden Wedding by the Lake
Harding Waterfront Estate (HWE) was the perfect wedding venue. Mariah, their event coordinator, made sure that we had the wedding of our dreams. HWE has a beautiful white historic manor, nestled in a beautiful garden that is bordered by lake Ontario. The venue was incredibly elegant and the staff more than accomodating. Our ceremony was hosted against the backdrop of a little inlet in front of the lake, while our reception was held in a beautiful airy glass tent. The food, which was also catered by HWE, was aboslutely delicious. We went for the stations option which provided us with paella, asian street food, a seafood seascape and so much more. The parking lot, with ample space, was also the site of our late night snack truck, which was also organized by the venue. We had poutine, philly cheesesteak sandwiches and calamari.
HWE and their team helped curate an absolutely beautiful wedding. HWE is perfect if you want a venue that will help take care of important details and provide a romantic setting to your wedding.
Thank you again Mariah for all of your help in helping us have our dream wedding!

Dream Wedding Venue
If you are looking to have the wedding of your dreams, I highly recommend booking Harding Waterfront Estate. Everything from the location, to the food and drinks, to the staff and the service, exceeded all expectations and I couldn’t be happier that we chose Harding for our wedding this summer.
We had many guests tell us that it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and many mentioned the gorgeous lakefront setting and five-star service as contributors. The set-up makes for a perfect flow to the evening, with plenty of space for guests to meander around the beautiful gardens and greenery (and you have the entire site to yourself). The tent is stunning and looks so classy when done up, even with minimal decorations like I had. The food was delicious, as were our signature cocktails, a classic lime margarita. Favorites were the Piri Piri Chicken, Vegan Wellington, Eggplant Parm and the Poutine late night meal (came with a full spread of toppings!). Jocilea was an excellent day-of coordinator who was incredibly patient and responsive with us in the lead-up to the event. Guests told us stories that the moment they finished their drink, someone had already noticed and radioed the bar for a new drink before they put it down, and special desserts were provided to guests with dietary restrictions without us even having to ask. There is also free parking on-site and nearby hotels who will provide free shuttles…little things that made the day run smoothly.
I’m still a bit puzzled why this venue isn’t more well-known in the GTA wedding community, but for anyone considering it, I would highly recommend booking!

Amazing Experience
The moment we chose Harding as our venue for our wedding on May 8th the planning and communication became seamless. We were able to have all our questions answered and set up accordingly for the big day. The day of, everything was more than expected. The staff went above and beyond, were extremely accommodating and all of our guests couldn’t stop singing their praises. A++ or 5 stars, well deserved. We would highly recommend for anyone looking for a great venue for any event.

A Perfect Day!
The biggest piece of advice I got ahead of getting married was to expect that nothing will go as expected for your big day.
HOWEVER, if you're getting married with the team from Harding, this advice won't mean much since they did everything in their power to ensure everything ran smoothly. Our guests loved the food & service team and we are still receiving compliments on the venue!
Even through all of the COVID postponements, regulations and restrictions, Jocilea and the Harding team handled everything with a smile and never once added any stress to our planning.
We don't plan on getting married again, but we hope to get to celebrate more once-in-a-lifetime events at Harding Waterfront Estate.

Exceptional service and a stunning location.
Thanks to Harding my day was perfect! With so much uncertainty around COVID it was definitely not the smoothest planning experience on our end. Harding was flexible, supportive and kept us going. Beautiful grounds, the drinks and food were perfect and to top it all off a killer team.
The value for what you pay made choosing them a no brainer. Their coordinators Jocilea and Krystal were two steps ahead of us and so supportive through the entire process. The event manager Dora knows how to run an event (despite the COVID chaos) and that filtered right down to the servers who treated our guests as family. I HIGHLY recommend and can safely say you get unmatched service. The compliments from my guests have not stopped. :)

My wedding was perfect!
Thank you so much to the amazing Jocilea for all she did to help coordinate my wedding in September. She is so kind, helpful and totally professional. I would highly recommend adding on the day-of coordination package with her - she made my day totally stress free and I could enjoy instead of worry! The venue was absolutely gorgeous too of course and all of our guests were just raving about the location and the FOOD! We are so lucky we had the privilege of being able to get married here.
