What
a
time
to
get
married!
My
husband
and
I
got
engaged
in
2020
in
the
height
of
the
pandemic
and
waited
a
year
to
start
planning.
Initially,
we
thought
we
wanted
a
small
destination
wedding
and
after
much
consideration,
we
decided
on
a
whim
in
November
2021
to
look
at
venues.
We
knew
we
wanted
a
venue
with
a
lot
of
land!
We
didn’t
want
a
barn
wedding
per
se
as
we
really
wanted
something
outdoors
but
we
were
open
to
anything.
We
knew
we
wanted
a
one-stop
shop
with
ceremony
and
reception
(and
lots
of
parking!)
and
when
we
arrived
to
WaterStone
to
meet
with
Cynthia
(we
were
in
the
area
looking
at
another
popular
venue
with
a
greenhouse
that
had
no
dates
for
2022
available!),
we
just
knew
we
found
a
gem!
After
leaving,
we
just
felt
it
was
the
one
and
I
called
Cynthia
right
away
and
secured
a
date!
And
after
that,
the
wedding
planning
just
fell
into
place!!!
Felt
amazing
to
have
a
date
for
2022
and
we
got
married
on
a
beautiful
Thanksgiving
Sunday
and
we
are
so
grateful
we
chose
WaterStone
and
all
our
dreams
really
did
come
true!
I
cannot
express
how
thankful
I
am
and
how
grateful
I
am
to
the
staff!
The
staff
are
first
off
amazing
and
really
know
their
craft.
They
are
so
encouraging
of
using
what
you
have
and
keeping
it
simple
as
the
venue
is
naturally
gorgeous
–
you
do
not
need
to
spend
a
lot
on
décor.
If
anything,
I
would
recommend
printing
photo
plaques
at
Costco
and
having
them
be
a
part
of
décor.
And
then
after
the
wedding,
you
can
give
them
to
your
in
laws
or
use
them
for
décor
at
home.
The
staff
did
a
great
job
decorating
and
using
what
we
provided
for
them
on
the
day
of
the
wedding.
They
are
so
creative
and
really
got
our
vision
right!
What
also
makes
this
venue
amazing
is
that
you
can
get
a
special
occasions
permit
and
buy
your
own
alcohol.
We
LOVED
this
as
we
were
able
to
customize
our
own
bar
and
really,
we
got
to
go
as
premium
as
we
wanted
and
whatever
you
don’t
drink
and
open,
you
can
always
return!
Our
guests
loved
our
bar
and
loved
the
selection
of
drinks!
I
just
loved
the
fresh
air
at
this
venue
–
and
the
options
to
have
a
wedding
outdoors
or
in
their
barn
on
site
are
amazing!
I
love
their
venue
space
for
reception
as
we
knew
we
wanted
a
more
intimate
wedding
and
with
about
100
people,
we
found
it
was
nice.
Our
first
dance,
you
can
hear
laughter
and
people
could
hear
us
talk
and
we
loved
that!
Throughout
the
wedding
planning
process,
Cynthia
was
easily
accessible
by
phone
and
email.
She
always
answered
our
questions
and
was
able
to
provide
us
with
some
flexible
options
to
our
dinner
menu.
We
went
with
a
late
night
seafood
option
and
it
was
amazing.
We
also
did
the
buffet
dinner
and
our
guests
loved
the
food!
As
well,
we
were
able
to
use
the
space
for
a
quick
Chinese
Tea
ceremony
on
the
day
of
the
wedding.
While
the
day
was
hectic
with
family
getting
ready,
the
day
just
turned
out
so
beautifully
and
everybody
loved
the
venue.
The
kids
at
the
wedding
had
the
best
time
–
we
barely
saw
any
of
them!
They
loved
running
all
over
the
grass!
And
funny
enough,
our
Officiant
Richard
Moore
(who
is
also
highly
recommended
and
one
of
the
venues’
preferred
vendors)
was
there
for
a
rehearsal
the
same
day
we
were
viewing
the
venue
and
he
was
being
so
magnanimous
and
animated,
I
just
knew
I
had
to
hire
him
for
our
wedding
day
and
we
did!!!!
He
was
amazing!
I
also
hired
two
more
vendors
(florals
and
cake)
off
their
preferred
list
and
and
we
were
thrilled
with
the
results!
You
cannot
go
wrong!
I
could
ramble
on
and
on
about
WaterStone
but
we
truly
loved
doing
our
own
site
visits
when
we
could
just
so
we
could
have
face-to-face
meetings
and
see
the
space!
Driving
there
from
Mississauga
was
so
worth
it.
It
is
just
another
world
there
–
so
peaceful
and
zen!
I
highly
recommend
this
venue
if
you
are
looking
for
something
rustic
and
romantic.
Best
decision
we
ever
made
after
deciding
to
get
married!
Love
you
all
@
WS!
Miss
you!
