The Lake House

Homophobic. It’s a great venue and we really wanted to have our wedding here. We had a nice meeting and Chad was friendly. Then they didn’t return our calls for a week (multiple calls/email). We went into the space in person again after a week of not hearing. They told us they wanted to be transparent and that “they are Christian” but they can host the wedding there, they have no problem but they wanted to tell us in case we saw something on their Instagram page. This was obviously done to encourage us not to book with them.
We are very disappointed as they are obviously homophobic and don’t believe in gay marriage.
I guess since they can’t discriminate, this was their way of saying they are homophobic without saying it.
Of note Chad and his wife just took over ownership this April. The previous owners hosted gay weddings before that were great.

STEER CLEAR. The people who work there, specifically chad and his wife were unprofessional and rude. The venue itself is in major need of a makeover. It is outdated and unkempt. They are quite pushy and seem they're only in it for the upsell and the money. When you're searching for a venue, 9/10 times you're looking to celebrate something special, and they truly made us feel like they could not care less. We didn't feel valued or cared about, and we were extremely rushed when we booked a tour.
Overall, I would not recommend this place, which is a shame because once upon a time I'm sure it was lovely.

I'm editing my review after their ridiculous response. I did say SPECIFICALLY Chad and his wife. He has no business being in the hospitality industry. His wife was also rude and completely dismissive. We were never told the money FROM A CANCER FOUNDATION was refunded and we never saw that money again, so we have no idea what you're referring to.
We were going with the venue as a suggestion from the foundation, which is the only reason we were trying to make it work until we all felt in our hearts we didn't want to continue with that arrangement.
Also, I just saw a new review below that shows that they are homophobic, which makes me even more glad we took our business elsewhere. GOOD RIDDANCE.

Ps. It was a vow renewal and celebration of life hybrid, because one half of the couple is battling terminal illness. So thanks for the compassion!

Wonderful venue. The owners go above and beyond to make any event everything you could dream of.

Beautiful event venue. Been to a few bridal and baby showers here. The service is great, the staff really commit to excellence and a great time.

A marvellous wedding venue right on the lake Ontario, great location and amazing view!

Where to begin!?

From the very beginning, Paul and Chad have been nothing but amazing.
They were super attentive to our needs and our billions of inquiries, always paying special attention to the fine details and getting back to us super promptly.
We had been planning our wedding for a long time and we were initially to get married in August, however, due to my father's declining health, we had to push our wedding up to April 8th.
Paul and Chad were so eager and willing to assist and accommodated for us without hesitation, even though this decision was made on such short notice.

There was so shortage of good food, drinks and desserts. We had several guests that fasted and they were incredibly helpful with arranging when meals would be served - and the food was AMAZING.
Make sure you go to the tasting. They have so many great items to pick from- And they have halal options!

Moreover, the space was beautiful on top of it being in such a beautiful location - The water, boats, swans and breathtaking sunsets provide some gorgeous views. I'm hoping to update this review later on to provide some gorgeous pictures that were taken because words cannot do it justice!
We truly ate, drank and laughed the whole entire night. Everyone had such a smile on their face.
Overall, I'm so thrilled with how our special day turned out!!! It was literally our dream wedding.

Unfortunately, my dad passed away just a 2 short weeks later but I'm so thankful he was able to walk me down the aisle and enjoy such a special time. I'll treasure those memories forever.

Thank you Paul, Chad and the staff at the Lake House for an unforgettable day!

Sending out a heartfelt thanks to Paul, Chad and his entire staff for the best wedding experience ever! My son was supposed to marry in August, but due to his future father-in-law's health declining rapidly the wedding was moved to April 8th. Paul and Chad were so understanding and helped us quickly get everything ready within a matter of a few weeks. Everything turned out perfect! The food was fantastic, the venue was gorgeous, the scenery was breathtaking and the staff went above and beyond in their service. The father-in-law had enough strength to walk his daughter down the aisle and he had such an incredible time. Unfortunately, two weeks later, he passed away. We are so grateful to the entire Lake House team for creating wonderful memories for us that we will cherish forever.

Gorgeous balcony overlooking the harbour and lake Ontario. Great place to host an event, small wedding or have an enjoyable evening.
I shot a wedding here a few years back and the sunset over the water was absolutely gorgeous. The lake house is also directly beside the waterfront with perfect access to a variety of photo locations including the harbour backdrop, lake, trees, cute street, etc.
