Beautiful Brunch Wedding

We had a beautiful Sunday brunch wedding in early June at Cellar 52. The weather cooperated and we were luckily able to have a riverside ceremony, which I would highly recommend - the setting is beautiful. Our guests loved the idea of a brunch wedding and the Cellar 52 team killed it!

Our coordinator Jenny and the whole team at Cellar was wonderful to work with. Communication was fast and easy, and I really appreciated that they laid out meetings and milestones to confirm all the details of our day. I had a few last minute tweaks and changes and Jenny & the team were so accommodating. The Stella team also provided us with a list of...

I had a few last minute tweaks and changes and Jenny & the team were so accommodating. The Stella team also provided us with a list of preferred vendors which was amazing, as we didn't know where to start. We went with a few of their suggested vendors (along with the Gilt catering) and couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.

Our guests raved about the venue!

Really impressed with the venue and staff from cellar! They delivered so well for our wedding day. Our guests also loved the food.

It did feel quite full with our guest count of about 95, so I wouldn't nessecarily recommend larger (especially for winter weddings as we couldn't use the large patio space).

Just perfect!

We had our reception at the timber barn and are still receiving so many compliments. It’s a beautiful space, we had about 80 guests and there’s was more then enough room but didn’t feel too big. Food was exceptional. “Best wedding food” is what I’ve been told by multiple guests. Piper and staff were so easy to work with they made our dream come true. We brought our deco they placed it and repacked it back up for the easiest clean up.

A helping hand every step of the way

Wow..I am absolutely blown away by the Stella Co. They are so on top of everything and that helped to keep me organized every step of the way- and this is something I tend to struggle with. Piper was my fearless leader. She was always so quick to respond to all of my inquiries, and always did so kindly. The day of ran incredibly smoothly. Cellar 52 is a well oiled machine. I loved that the day of coordinators were so on top of everything. I didn’t have to oversee anything and could just enjoy my day. From the set up to the tear down, everything was perfect. And don’t even get me started on the food….wow. All of...

Thanks Cellar and the Stella Co for bringing our wedding to life and making it the best day ever!

Perfect venue and helpful staff

We received so many compliments on the venue and they let us walk through it with little notice - when we had to show our florist around - and they provided our coordinator, Piper, and she was so flexible with all our demands and cheerful and kept us stress free!

Many Improvements needed

This place started off as very promising - and then once deposits were made, and money was in the hands of the company, the service and flexibility went down significantly.

For one, we were promised that we could have the meat halal at the wedding as that was a must in order for us to choose the venue. A couple of weeks before the wedding and after collecting meal choices - I was told that the halal beef could not be “sourced” or accommodated. Everyone ended up getting chicken by default because no other options were available to guests. This was embarrassing as guests had already chosen their food.

Secondly, THE HEAT! If you plan on getting...

Everyone ended up getting chicken by default because no other options were available to guests. This was embarrassing as guests had already chosen their food.

Secondly, THE HEAT! If you plan on getting married here in the summer - or even spring, think twice. Guests were constantly complaining and asking the staff to turn on the AC. However, it never ended up getting cooler. Made for a very very sweaty party. Perhaps if you have a 20 person wedding , this venue would be more suitable. I have genuinely never been to a wedding venue this hot.

What really bothered me, my family, and the bridal party was the absurd attitude the girls who work there have. They will talk down to you consistently - but once you dare say something back their feelings get hurt. Again, just not as professional as we are used to for tje service industry.

Not to mention the food that was taken away from guests (taco bar) while guests were lining up to eat. Again, embarrassing.

On my wedding day, one of the staff members came to my room to ask us to come help unload decor from my car which I had kindly parked right in front of their door. Not something that I expected on the morning of my wedding when we were getting hair and makeup done.

The wedding ended up being beautiful due to our amazing vendors, performances, decor, and the DJ who kept the dance floor moving all night! However , the venue has long ways to go in their organization and service they provide to couples. Nothing was straight forward and even the wedding day felt chaotic as they would constantly lock access to the hotel where the entire wedding party had their stuff.

All in all, the bones are there and the building is beautiful as is the patio. However, there’s much work to be done to match the cost with the service received.

The BEST wedding venue!

Cellar 52 is the venue of our dreams! Everything went smoothly and according to plan because of our amazing Wedding Day Coordinator, Jenny, who was assigned to us a few months out and helped us nail down the final details leading up the the big day! My bridesmaids, and I got ready at hotel 52, the boutique hotel above the venue, which was perfectly set up for a wedding party! The food was incredible, staff was amazing, and we loved how everything was on site… Ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and wedding night accommodations! We would 10/10 recommend Cellar 52!

Our wedding was fabulous

We had a cocktail style wedding. (Hors D'oeuvres only). Our wedding coordinator Emily was excellent. She was with me the whole time throughout the planning. Whenever I emailed her a question, she responded very quickly with the answer. She always greeted us with a smile when we saw her. She was quite helpful. I found them very accommodating. After the ceremony they were very quick to move tables to set up for the food. The servers were all very polite and did their job professionally. The day of the wedding Emily kept checking on me and the groom and let us know when we should be ready to start the ceremony. Even throughout the reception if I asked for...

Even throughout the reception if I asked for something they were on the ball right away. I have nothing negative to say about this venue. I will reccomend it to people I know. If we do have another large celebration (Birthday, Anniversary) we wouldn't hesitate to book Cellar 52. Thank you all for a great day.

Just had my brunch wedding at Cellar 52

We opted for the Sunday brunch package and we’re thrilled with the whole experience. The team were friendly, professional, and I felt in great hands. The venue is STUNNING! The beer is also very excellent. More people should get married in the morning! We loved knowing they had their own in house catering and bartending, and we didn’t have to worry about coordinating with several vendors. It was great to pay one fee and have everything looked after. I also recommend paying for the fresh oysters!
