If you’re dreaming of a romantic, light-filled celebration in Southern Ontario, a Cambridge Mill wedding might be exactly what you’re looking for. Caitlin and James’ day at this stunning Cambridge wedding venue captured everything that makes the Mill so special: elegant architecture, breathtaking views, and a timeless atmosphere that’s perfect for both modern and classic celebrations.
A Relaxed Start at The Laundry Rooms in Cambridge
Caitlin and James began their wedding morning at The Laundry Rooms, a boutique short-term rental in downtown Cambridge that’s become a favourite for couples getting ready before their wedding at the Cambridge Mill. With its spacious, stylish suites and large windows for natural light, it made the perfect setting for photos, laughter, and quiet moments with loved ones.
Their dog joined them for the morning festivities, bringing even more joy (and a few tail wags) to the start of the day. Despite a larger wedding party and all the anticipation, the atmosphere stayed relaxed, happy, and full of love; the perfect prelude to their ceremony just down the road.
A Sunlit Ceremony in the Pavilion
For the ceremony, Caitlin and James chose the Pavilion at the Cambridge Mill, one of the venue’s most sought-after spaces. The Pavilion is a bright, glass-enclosed room overlooking the Grand River, offering panoramic views and a naturally romantic feel. On this sunny day, the light poured in beautifully, highlighting every detail and giving the ceremony a serene, golden glow.
Guests were greeted by a custom welcome sign with a flower box, an early preview of the design story to come: romantic, colourful, and timeless.
Warm, Refined Design Details
Caitlin envisioned a colour palette that felt warm and colourful, but not overly summery. To achieve that, we layered:
Pistachio-colored linens for a soft, unexpected foundation.
Rust and peach florals, giving warmth and depth.
Dark green stationery for contrast and richness.
Black-trimmed charger plates, adding a subtle nod to classic elegance.
The bridesmaids wore dresses in different shades drawn from the palette, creating a beautifully coordinated yet effortless look.
Reception in the Falls Room at Cambridge Mill
The celebration continued in the Falls Room at the Cambridge Mill, one of the most iconic wedding reception spaces in Cambridge, Ontario. With 12-foot ceilings, original stonework, hand-carved beams, and floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the Grand River, the Falls Room feels both historic and modern. The space is cantilevered over the river, giving guests stunning water views and a cozy atmosphere anchored by a fireplace.
For Caitlin and James, it was the perfect setting to celebrate surrounded by family, friends, and the natural beauty of Cambridge. From the relaxed morning at The Laundry Rooms to their joyful reception in the Falls Room, the day was full of love, calm, and meaningful detail - exactly what a Cambridge Mill wedding should be.
The Vendor Team
Caitlin and James’ Cambridge Mill wedding came together beautifully thanks to an incredible team of vendors. Rentals from Nayos Rentals, romantic florals by Calluna and Co., and stationery from All That’s Lovely. Photography and videography were captured perfectly by DML Films. Ceremony music was performed live by Cecilia Chang, while 586 Event Group kept the dance floor full all night. Hair styling was by Brilliant Bridal with makeup artistry by Sky Shapiro.
