Wedding Venues in Toronto: 5 of The Most Romantic Locations

Choosing your wedding venue is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in the early days of your wedding planning (right next to booking a wedding photographer). The venue’s atmosphere will set the styling direction and atmosphere of your special day, and it’s the perfect way to begin infusing your personalities into the planning process. When it comes to wedding venues in Toronto, the city is brimming with culture, history, and stunning architecture. If you’re a couple on the hunt for a romantic wedding venue within the GTA, you’re luckily spoiled when it comes to choice.

Whether you envision an architectural stunner to reflect your love of design as a couple (think Art Gallery of Ontario in downtown Toronto), or the venue has French Garden vibes, such as Graydon Hall Manor, because you’ve travelled to France together. Toronto has a diverse array of venues to suit every couple’s style and preferences.

Below are five of the most magical wedding venues in Toronto, ranging from intimate settings to grand spaces suitable for larger celebrations. Despite their differences in size, each venue offers an unforgettable atmosphere for creating an unforgettable wedding experience.
