In a city that’s so diverse, it’s earned the nickname “City of Neighborhoods”. Over 140 languages and dialects are spoken, it’s no wonder that a wide array of wedding venues are also available. And, Toronto is not just diverse in speech, but in landscape, cuisine, and architecture as well. This variety means that the following venues are not just affordable but are also filled with special details that will make your wedding sparkle with one-of-a-kind magic!

It’s not often that you discover a venue that features exquisite food, pampering, luxury accommodations, and on-site floral design. George Restaurant is a truly special and well-deserved treat for couples as it’s a one-stop shop for pretty much everything they could desire. The Ivy at Verity, a European inspired boutique hotel is in the same building as George, in addition to the Sweetgrass Spa, which offers hot stone massages, martinis and manicures, facials, body treatments, makeup artists, and more. And, there’s no need to fret over flowers with the floral artist Elizabeth Munro on-site. Hopefully, all this pampering leaves you hungry as George’s award-winning chef, Lorenzo Loseto, will prepare a decadent menu featuring local, seasonable, and sustainable ingredients.
Typical Cost: $500 to $10,000 depending on the time of day and year, and the spaces you would like to rent.
