Why couples choose ABE ERB

A relaxed vibe, not a banquet hall

A menu you design

Your favourite cocktails, dishes and desserts, served sit-down, family-style, or cocktail-style with passed hors d'oeuvres.

A team that runs the day

Tony and the events team plan it with you, then handle every detail so you can enjoy yourself.

Make it yours

Room to play games, dance or chat, and you can bring your own decorations and table settings.

We had 130 people for a cocktail style reception, and everything exceeded our expectations… The food and drinks were great and the atmosphere was even better.

Our guests cannot stop raving about the food… We had a sit down dinner and set menu and Abe Erb did that seamlessly.

We had lots of room for all our guests to play games, dance or chat… We were also able to bring in any of our own decorations and table settings.

Questions

Wedding questions, answered

How many guests can you host?

We host wedding receptions for 30 to 130 guests in Uptown Waterloo and Downtown Kitchener, and 30 to 150 in Ayr Village. Tell us your number and we'll suggest the best fit.

Can we bring our own décor?

Yes. Couples regularly bring their own decorations, signage and table settings. We'll help you plan the setup.

Can we customize the menu?

Yes. Build it around your favourite cocktails, dishes and desserts, served sit-down, family-style or cocktail-style with passed hors d'oeuvres.

Do you host ceremonies too?

Yes. You can have your ceremony and reception in the same place, so guests never have to change venues. Mention it in your enquiry and we'll plan both with you.

How far ahead should we book?

Summer Saturdays go first, so the earlier the better. Send your date and we'll tell you right away what's open.
