If you want the most dreamy experience, with great food, stellar staff, at an absolutely magical venue, look no further. We recently had our wedding, an intimate night with our closest friends and family, at The Cambridge Mill. I cannot possibly begin to describe our experience with The Mill. From immediate communication to weeks after our wedding was over, our coordinator was so on point with everything. Communication is a huge thing for me and Aime was next level with her care, communication and making sure all our special requests were met with ease. Our day of staff was phenomenal from the moment I stepped foot out of the limo. The attention to detail, and how much care they put into their clients is incredible. We’d do this over and over and over again and wouldn’t change a thing.Cambridge Mill's reply:
Hi Shelby & Kyle,
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was our pleasure to be a part of your of special day and to work with you leading up to your wedding.
We wish you both all the happiness in the world as you begin this new chapter in your lives.
We cannot wait to celebrate life's special moments with you both, big or small.
Warmly,

You will never regret booking your wedding at the Cambridge Mill! Yes, you might have sticker shock after seeing the price, but the value you get for the service is so much higher than what you pay. The staff are so incredibly attentive to you throughout the whole night, it’s like having a wedding planner. Anything you need from them, if within their power, they’ll do for you. The food is amazing, the drinks are amazing, the staff are so kind and efficient, the venue is stunning…I could go on. And if you’re worried about another wedding happening the same night, don’t. My friends and I were shocked that we didn’t notice the other wedding happening at all (besides, I realize that I’m not the ONLY person getting married that day). The venue even let us come in the day before to set up the decor (since they didn’t have an event that night) which was a literal lifesaver. Finally, get the espresso martinis—they were such a hit! -

Book Your Wedding at Cambridge Mill IMMEDIATELY!
Our wedding day at Cambridge Mill was truly exceptional—everything we could have dreamed of and more! From the beautiful setting to the impeccable service, Cambridge Mill went above and beyond to make our day magical.
As a type-A bride, I couldn’t have asked for a better venue! Every detail was handled with such care, allowing me to feel calm and confident throughout the day. A special thanks to our Maitre d', who ensured every detail was seamlessly taken care of—from keeping us refreshed with drinks to arranging for the bar to stay closed during our wedding photos. Their attention to detail allowed us to be fully present, knowing everything was handled perfectly. We were also grateful to be served our meals first, giving us a few quiet moments together before the celebrations continued.
We’d also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our Wedding Consultant, Amie. She was wonderful to work with, always prompt in responding to emails, and so reassuring (even with my 100 questions!). Amie made the planning process smooth and stress-free, and we couldn’t have done it without her.
Our guests are still raving about the incredible food; the drinks were also a hit! Cambridge Mill exceeded our expectations in every way, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wedding venue that combines elegance with exceptional service. Thank you for giving us such a perfect day that we’ll cherish forever!Cambridge Mill's reply:

When searching for the perfect wedding venue, I had a few key requirements—our dogs had to be part of the ceremony, I wanted a day-of coordinator to ensure everything went smoothly, amazing views, and, of course, delicious food. Cambridge Mill checked all those boxes and more!
Dalton was a dream to work with during the planning process. He answered every question we had and was so quick to respond, making the planning stress-free. On the day of the wedding, Michael and Cassidy were my coordinators, and they were absolutely incredible! The entire day flowed seamlessly, with no hiccups at all. Cassidy, in particular, went above and beyond, making sure I had water during our busy photo sessions and even surprising me with a bowl of truffle fries in the bridal suite!
Cassidy’s attentiveness and care truly made me feel like I was in the best hands. The feedback from our guests has been fantastic, and many of them have already said they’ll be returning to Cambridge Mill for dinner because the food was just that good.
Thank you to everyone at Cambridge Mill for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a place that delivers in every way! -

We had the most magical wedding day at Cambridge Mill, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible team who made it all possible. From the moment we stepped onto the property, we were enchanted by its beauty and charm. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, creating a flawless experience for us and our guests.
A special shoutout to Dalton for being super flexible and helpful with all our questions and requests. Another shout out to our amazing maître d’, Stephanie who was an absolute dream to work with. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and warm personality truly made the day run smoothly. Stephanie stood out in the rain for us during photos and offered her umbrella to my wedding party, she truly went above and beyond for us and for that we are thankful. They were always one step ahead, making sure we were well taken care of and that everything unfolded seamlessly.
The venue and the staff exceeded all of our expectations, creating a day we will cherish forever. If you're looking for a place that delivers both breathtaking beauty and exceptional service, Cambridge Mill is the perfect choice.
Thank you again for making our wedding day unforgettable!

A Dream Wedding at Cambridge Mill
If you're searching for the perfect venue to host your wedding, look no further than Cambridge Mill. We recently had the pleasure of celebrating our special day at this enchanting location, and it was nothing short of magical.
From the moment we arrived at Cambridge Mill, we were captivated by its timeless charm and elegance. The historic mill, with its exposed brick walls and stunning waterfront views, provided a picturesque backdrop that was both romantic and unique. The blend of rustic and sophisticated elements created an ambiance that was perfect for our celebration.
The staff at Cambridge Mill went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was flawless. From the initial planning stages to the final dance of the evening, their professionalism and attentiveness were evident. They worked tirelessly to accommodate our requests and offer valuable suggestions, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.
One of the highlights of our wedding was the exceptional cuisine. The catering team at Cambridge Mill crafted a menu that was not only delicious but also thoughtfully presented. Our guests raved about the quality and variety of the dishes, and the attentive service ensured that everyone felt pampered throughout the evening.
The venue's layout is ideal for both intimate ceremonies and grand celebrations. The ceremony space, with its picturesque views of the river, provided a serene setting for our vows. The reception area, adorned with elegant décor and complemented by the venue's natural beauty, offered a perfect space for our celebration.
In addition to its physical beauty, Cambridge Mill's location in the heart of Cambridge added a touch of local charm to our wedding. The surrounding area offered plenty of options for guests to explore, making our celebration not just a memorable event, but also a delightful experience for everyone involved.
In summary, Cambridge Mill provided us with a wedding day that surpassed our wildest dreams.

Jen L. Sent on 21/05/2024Amazing venue and amazing people
During the beginning stages of wedding planning, on a whim we decided to make an appointment and drive down to Cambridge from Markham to take a look at some wedding venues.
We had no intention of settling down on a venue quite so soon (in 2022) for a spring 2024 wedding but Cambridge Mill blew us away. The view was spectacular, it had a European feel and overlooks the Grand River. We didn't want a typical city vibe or banquet hall, we aimed to find something scenic, rustic but also cozy and this venue hit all the marks.
Megan was the first consultant that we spoke with, she gave us a tour of the grounds and possible room options that would fit our estimated guest count. We instantly loved the Falls Room & Solarium as it had the best views.
She showed us all the available packages and patiently walked us through the differences, we were able to customize to a certain extent as well. Overall we had really good feelings about Cambridge Mill by the end of our meeting.
What really solidified the decision was the FOOD! We decided to grab lunch at the restaurant that same day and we were blown away - we tried the salad, burger, pasta and carrot cake. We tried to look at other venues after including 2 other Pearle properties such as Spencers and Ancaster Mill but they couldn't even be compared to the hospitality we received at Cambridge Mill.
Shortly after, Megan moved into a new role and we hopped on a details call with our new co-ordinator - Amie. We were a bit worried as we had already laid down the ground work with Megan but everything worked out well. All of our notes and plans were seamlessly carried over to Amie and she understood what we wanted without any issue. Working with Amie made wedding planning so much easier - she gave us insightful feedback regarding our timeline, provided good suggestions and was genuinely excited to see it all coming together. We liked the flexibility and making modifications wasn't stressful, she would always make time to speak with us with her tight schedule. All in all, the planning leading up the the wedding went well and they accommodated out of the box requests (ie. early onsite picture, setting up a Bubble Tea Bar, Ramen Bar set up, and Chinese Lion Dancers).
We had our tasting scheduled 2 months before the wedding in January and we were allowed 2 additional guests to join us. The food was good as we expected and it was really tough to choose only 1 appetizer for our guests. Danielle was our server that day, and she was so amazing and we had a great time chatting with her. We put in a bunch of notes and she reassured us the chef will review everything. We also talked about signature drinks in a purple colour and she said she and they had some ideas in the works. Honestly I didn't think she would remember us, given how there are so many events happening at the Mills. Mid March we went to the Mills to drop off decorations and speak with Amie, on our visit we bumped into Danielle who was working a wedding, she remembered us and we got talking about the signature cocktail again - she said she had an idea and wanted us to try it out. Moments later she brought the prettiest purple drinks for us to try and they were tasty too. I was personally very touched by that gesture and that's how we decided on one of our signature cocktails. Luckily for us she was going to be working with us on our wedding day! We also bumped into Robin the chef, we got talking and then it clicked - he immediately said "hey, you are the couple with the ramen bar!", it was fun seeing everyone get excited about our big day!
About 2 days before the wedding there was a small misunderstanding regarding the wedding party arrival time for photos with the front desk which caused some stress as it would push back our first look. Luckily, the situation was resolved on the same day and they were extremely apologetic about it. They also provided additional space so both team groom and team bride could take photos without crossing paths.
On rehearsal day we were greeted with a winter storm near the end of March - however Stephanie welcomed us happily. We went through the schedule together, confirmed some details and walked through the whole ceremony process. The rehearsal itself was very straightforward, the only issue was the heat in the Pavilion was turned off so it was really cold. However she reassured us that it will be warm and toasty on the day of! The whole team was so accommodating, they set everything up and our group went in and finalized the details.
On the wedding day, Stephanie and Danielle were our main contacts and they were so wonderful to work with, I had actually forgotten my letters that I was supposed to read during my first look, instead of delaying it and waiting for someone to run to my hotel, Stephanie got it printed so there wouldn't be delays. It was a windy and cold spring day, while I was making my way from the main building to the Pavillion during the ceremony, Danielle and the manager held massive umbrellas that would shield me from the wind ensuring my hair wouldn't be messed up and I wouldn't freeze too much, I thought that was such a kind gesture on their part. The team worked quietly and very efficiently, they moved all our ceremony pieces to the reception spaces seamlessly and rearranged the Solarium to fit all our late night eats.
Speaking about the food, the kitchen staff nailed it from H'or D'oeuvres down to the late nights! We didn't know what kind of hot/cold Hor D'oeuvres we would get - it's the chef's choice per the package we got. Let me tell you, they put together Asian fusion finger foods and it was a hit with our crowd of predominantly Asian guests. The baos, dumplings, pinwheels and the crispy chicken was everything I would have ever wanted - yet we never voiced it out. So we were really impressed.
The dinner was delicious - I know I'm being biased as we picked the menu items but I'm still amazed how good the food was - we had butternut squash soup, garden salad, stuffed chicken or steak and a chocolate hazelnut mousse. The soup was perfect in every way, sweet and hearty which was ideal for the cold weather. We loved the pears in the salad, but the wow factor was the entrees. They were HUGE portions - the stuffed chicken breast was our favourite, so juicy and tender and flavours of the mushroom sauce and goat cheese stuffing complimented each other nicely. In our tasting notes we asked to have a green veggie for some added colour and they brought out Chinese broccoli - I was mind blown. I was literally expecting zucchini but this was much better than I expected. Most of our guests were surprised to hear we chose a venue in Cambridge instead of back home in Toronto during the planning stages. Needless to say our guests were blown away by everything - the venue, the view and the food. They said "Oh I see why you chose this venue now!" and they are still raving about the food and how amazing it was to this very day.
Overall I highly recommend Cambridge Mill to all couples looking for a venue, their team is amazing to work with and the people are so genuine.
I'm really hoping someone from our friend group will get married there, as I would personally love to attend another event at Cambridge Mill!
