We love Pie Eyed Monk!
We absolutely loved having our wedding at Pie Eyed Monk! Erastus and the team helped to make our wedding day a dream come true, especially the late night wood fire oven pizza!
For us, booking our wedding and reception at the Pie Eyed Monk meant that we didn't need to coordinate between multiple venues and catering, as they were all in one. The customer service focus of the team at Pie Eyed Monk came through in all of our interactions with staff; from flexibility in our plans, to accessibility and dietary needs, and transparency and fairness in pricing, the team goes above and beyond. We also enjoyed that we could share our Spotify playlist with them to play over their sound system, rather than needing a DJ.
A key priority was having great quality food that could be adapted to different dietary needs, which Pie Eyed Monk managed perfectly. We enjoyed the food so much that we're going back to have dinner to celebrate our first anniversary and plan to make it a tradition.
Overall, we had a great experience and received feedback from our guests regarding the venue, staff, and food saying they did as well. We recommend this venue to everyone we know! -

Pie Eyed Monk was the absolute best venue! Planning was so easy, and they took care of everything! We held our reception in the hall, and then our guests were guided down to the restaurant bar for cocktails and apps while we went for photos and the staff rearranged the room for the reception. The food, drinks and service were all so amazing, and Erastus (the event manager) ensured everything went off without a hitch and exactly on time. There is a beautiful park nearby for photos and many photo op spots within the venue. There is also a newer hotel close by for guests. I couldn’t suggest this venue enough!! -

Highly recommend!
If you are looking for a beautiful space for your wedding look no further! We fell in love with the beautiful backdrop of the white brick, black arched windows and the black ceilings! So much that it became our wedding colour palette! The five star review doesn’t just stop at the aesthetics! From the initial meeting to the day of the wedding Erastus and his team ensured that not only did they understand our vision but they made it come to reality! They were so open to making sure that every little detail was exactly what we envisioned. From the decor, to the menu to the specialty drinks everything was perfect! We did add on the day of coordination and transportation which we highly recommend! Whatever you are looking for they work hard to accommodate your requests! The kitchen team not only made a delicious dinner but went above to accommodate allergies and vegetarian guests. Our vegetarian guests said that it was the best meal at a wedding that they ever had! Service was over the top and they always checked in with us to ensure everything was perfect! The extra spaces were the perfect backdrop for our inside pictures. Our wedding was the most amazing day and this space was the perfect venue for our ceremony and reception. Highly recommend the Pie Eyed Monk and the team to make your big day the best day ever! -

I cannot say enough good things about this venue and Erastus. From start to finish, we were constantly blown away with the level of service and accommodation. Erastus has a true talent and executed our day with such professionalism and care, we are so happy!
All staff were amazing. The setup and transition from ceremony to reception was flawless and exceeded our expectations beyond words. Walking into our reception, we were blown away as the staff and Erastus truly made our vision come to life, even better than it appeared in my mind!
The food was incredible, all of our guests raved about it. Alcohol service was professional and quick. We ran a tab instead of just doing open bar, which ended up costing us more but we had a lot of 20-30s aged people, which is something to consider when deciding how to do your bar.
I don’t have a single complaint from our day, it was perfect and I HIGHLY recommend this venue. The vibe and esthetics are warm and welcoming and the staff are so flexible with what you want. -

Beautiful historic wedding venue on a budget
My husband and I recently got married at the Pie Eyed Monk and it was the best decision we could have made. The general manager Erastus really worked with our budget (which was small!) and helped us have an amazing wedding with some really stellar food, and the venue itself and the staff were lovely. HIGHLY recommend. -

Ceremony & Reception
My husband and I had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding ceremony and reception at Pie Eyed Monk. Everything about this venue was absolutely perfect - from the staff, the food, the drinks, and just the overall aesthetic. It was a pleasure getting to work with Erastus and his team throughout the entire process of wedding planning and the day of. I highly recommend the Pie Eyed Monk for anyone looking for a stunning event space with excellent food and service. -

Pie Eyed Monk was a perfect location for my wedding reception. The ambiance of the event space was modern and chic. It was exactly what I wanted.
Food was the most important part of the evening and the Pie Eyed Monk did not disappoint - the food was phenomenal!! There was abundance of food and my guests left full. (I highly recommend the Caesar salad)
I worked closely with the general manager as there was a lot of regulations (due to Covid), Erastus was amazing to work with, timely on his emails and very flexible! The staff at the dinner were attentively my guests and were lovely.
I can’t say how amazing the restaurant and the staff are!
As well, the prices were very reasonable!
I highly recommend the Pie Eyed Monk! -

FANTASTIC Venue, would (and have several times) recommend to anyone!
We went to the Pie Eyed Monk as the very last venue in town to check out, because we assumed that as a restaurant/pub they would not have a lot of space for guests, that it may look "pubby" and, frankly, the prices on wedding wire scared us and our small town budget.
However, as soon as we arrived and saw the venue upstairs, we were blown away. The space is gorgeous and also the perfect canvas for any wedding no matter your theme or decor.
The room upstairs is huge and open and can be arranged in any formation you would want. It can easily switch from elegant to casual with a few waves of a wand. In reality, it was NOT more expensive than the other venues that we looked at. The general manager Erastus made our budget work with our needs, and was so professional and accountable. We also saved a TON of money and headache going with the PEM because they already has so much on-site that you can use. They have decorations like candle votives for centrepieces, wood chunks for serving and twinkle lights dawning the ceiling, and all sorts of decoration options depending on the season (but you are also allowed to bring in decor, we only brought a few flowers). We also saved on music because there is a DJ booth with all of the equipment already hooked up with a spotify playlist that we used. You cannot hear any activity at all from the restaurant downstairs during speeches or other quiet activities.
Being a restaurant that supports local farmers, the food was fantastic. The chef prepared for us a custom menu with several courses and we continue to frequent the PEM for dinner. To put it short: Even the most particular of our very Italian family commented the food was amazing.
Most importantly, Erastus worked with us for our needs, and made our wedding special and our own. He did not assume what we wanted or did not want based on what was fashionable. When our wedding took several turns for the worst (this is an October 2020 wedding here... in the middle of a pandemic) they restaurant was able to downsize our guest count and our budget last minute, and was able to separate the tables for "social distancing" but suggested we keep them in a circle in a way that was elegant and made the room feel full. Despite that fact that we had our wedding reception at PEM during a pandemic, we would not change a thing, and so much of our positive memories will be thanks to the staff at the PEM.
I am a bit late writing this review, but now in February, I have already made 3 successful referrals to the PEM for events: My Maid of Honor's wedding reception, my managers retirement party, and a church fundraising dinner-from-home (during lockdown). Several people from each of these events have commented how fantastic the food and/or venue was for their celebration.
If you are considering the PEM for your wedding venue - just make the call. Tell them what you want and see what they can do for you. You will not regret it! -
