THE FLAGSHIP

SIMPLISTIC . VINTAGE . ELEGANT .TRENDY . CULTURE . DOWNTOWN . CHARMING. PERFECT. YOURS. 
 

Cellar 52 is a Stella Venue, part of the Downtown Series Venue Portfolio. 

Welcome to our village - the highly sought-after historic wedding destination nestled in the heart of one of the oldest towns in Southwestern Ontario. Your guests will be pleased to make a getaway out of your wedding weekend, exploring what St. Jacobs has to offer. Built in 1852, our fully-renovated building was once an old lodging hotel- one of the original Stage Coach Inns in the area. Now, we're the perfect canvas for you and your guests to celebrate your new favourite day with you. 

​

​

This is the flagship venue- Stella's first- with everything you could possibly need and more. We want you to spend your whole day with us, getting ready and creating memories from start to finish. We want our in-house coordination team to bring your vision to life after working with you months in advance to understand your dream. We want our catering partner to fuel those dancing feet and have guests raving about what they tasted for days, weeks, or even years after. We want you to love our venue as much as we do.

"We had the pleasure of working with our coordinator and the Cellar 52 team for our wedding on January 27th 2024.. The space is absolutely beautiful, romantic and exactly what we were wanting. Piper was amazing with everything, always responding to emails and helping us through the process [...] The team at cellar 52 are amazing at what they do. They made the wedding planning process as stress-free as possible"

"Jonny and I got married at Cellar 52 in April and honestly giving it 5 stars is not enough. Not only is the venue BEAUTIFUL but the staff is also so incredible and hard working [...] It was truly the most magical day and we still have people coming to us telling us it's the best meal they have ever had at a wedding!! I wish I could redo this experience all over again because it was the best!"

"[...] when I tell you it was the best day of our lives, I truly mean it, for many reasons [...] The ceremony went perfectly as well and everyone knew their places. The transition from cocktail hour, to dinner, to dancing was done so well that we barely noticed, in the best way! [...] We got so much good feedback on the food, too — everyone loved it".

[...] 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.[...] I also recommend paying for the fresh oysters!"

We had our wedding [..] at Cellar 52, and we were so pleased with the experience and had so much fun on our wedding day--everything came together so well and beautifully! The team members are attentive and made the planning process very easy and pleasant for us (shout out to Emily!). There were many logistics for our day since we had some different cultural elements as well, and they were able to accommodate and even made suggestions to the overall flow for our day. Most importantly, our family and friends had a great time celebrating with us, and we still hear compliments about our lovely riverside ceremony, and most importantly, THE FOOD! The vibes were absolutely immaculate. Thank you so much, Cellar 52!

Our wedding day was fantastic - We had a riverside ceremony, cocktail hour on the patio and brunch reception inside the venue. The spaces were decorated beautifully (even with minimal direction). We trusted Cellar 52 to do their thing and they did not disappoint! We originally intended for guests to flow in and out from the patio but it ended up being such a beautiful, warm day that everyone mainly spent time outside. The team was very flexible and made this transition easy. We really appreciated that the team not only set up the decor and helped with tear down. I would definitely recommend having your wedding or event at Cellar 52. Thank you Team 52 for an unforgettable day!!

It was the only venue we looked at and we knew it was perfect right away. The simple elegance was exactly what we were looking for. Our wedding coordinator was amazing and such a big help through the entire process, but especially the day-of. Would highly recommend to anyone!

The staff at cellar 52 exceeded our expectations in every way. They were very helpful throughout the whole process and made the day as easy as they could for us. Have had a lot of people at the wedding say how good the food was, and how friendly the staff were. Our coordinator was Emily and we couldn't be happier. At the end of a long day they even had closing coordinators come and help finish the night off. Thanks for everything Cellar!

From start to finish, this was the best experience we've ever had. The location, food, staff were all amazing. They made sure our day went accordingly. Thank you to Jenny and Grace for taking instruction well and always with a smile on their face. On a day as stressful as your wedding, they alleviated all of it. Thank you, thank you!
