Great wedding venue

The venue hosted our wedding and it was sooo beautiful. The decor was perfect for the vibe that we went for. We didn’t have to put in much work to decorate the place. They were very flexible in terms of accommodating our requests, for example, adding string lights that helped to elevate the look that we were going for. Bar service was offered with the venue and they did a great job serving our guests who provided such positive feedback to us after. Would definitely recommend this venue in the future.

Authentic place and great organization team

We had our winter wedding at The Great Hall and we would have it there again and again and again!
Mark Foster (Director) did a great job to host our event and we were very satisfied of the result. The technician team was also reliable and did an amazing work with lights and setup/wrapup.
The place is beautiful, has lots of character and enough space to fit us all!
We would definitely recommend The Great Hall to anybody looking for an exceptional place for their event. You can count on Mark's reactivity and organization skills to make your planning easier ! Thanks a lot !

My Dream “Unconventional” NYE Wedding ✨

I hosted my wedding at the Great Hall this New Year’s Eve and I am still finding the words to describe how incredible the entire experience was.

Mark was our event manager and he is such a gem! Super fast to respond, always able to provide clear concise advice and he always had the best energy , always calm cool and collected. After going through this experience I realized this isn’t the norm in the wedding/events industry 🤣

We hosted a cocktail style wedding that skipped most of the usual formalities and we were going for a gatsby style affair with lots of glitz , glam and champagne - this meant there were alot or moving parts and I did most of the planning on my own and despite my novice level in event planning it all felt doable and easy because of Mark and the team. Even when dealing with other vendors at site visits , mark was able to help step in when there was something he didn’t think was right or made sense.

The venue it’s self is insane - it has such a unique vibe. My guests are still talking about the view from the upper balcony. I’m so glad we set up some tables, the photo booth and the grazing tables up there , it encourages guests up there and once they see the view of the main hall from up there they didn’t want to leave!

We did the ceremony down in longboat hall and had most seating on the floor but had a larger guest count so the overflow of about 40 people was standing room on the balcony - once again we literally had people leave their seats on be floor bc they loved the balcony view!

The space is unique and a blank canvas, we needed to rent all of the furniture and all of the prep and serve ware for the caterers , so be aware of that when budgeting. The details all around the venue do most of the decorating for you - so my advice is less is more.

The bar package and glassware are all done by the venue themselves and it was fab. The price is actually really good considering the quality of the alcohol included. I was even able to make some adjustments to the package , again Mark and the team were super flexible and happy to make whatever I needed happen!

If you’re looking for a super unique place to get married in Toronto - make sure to stop in to the great Hall! Luxury service at at a competitive price , and the most stunning building - the pictures don’t do it justice it’s even better IRL. Thank you TGH 💕

Unique wedding wedding in Toronto!

Choosing The Great Hall was easy for us. Little did we know that all of our wedding venue dreams would be met. Mark was so easy to work with throughout the whole process. The venue looked perfect on our big day! Thank you so much! 😀

Beautiful Venue, Amazing Staff

The Great Hall was an absolutely incredible place to host our wedding and I would strongly recommend it to anyone considering doing the same. The staff were incredibly communicative and flexible with us, and they took so much stress off of us while we were trying to plan and postpone a wedding during / after covid. Mark in particular is an absolute pleasure to work with! On top of all that, the venue is stunning (all the rooms) and we received many compliments on it and how the staff had set up the string lights and drapery.

Dream come true

Planning our wedding at The Great Hall was a dream. From the very beginning, Mark was extremely responsive, professional, and kind. His approach to wedding planning and overall flexibility and openness was definitely driving factor why we chose this venue. The venue itself is simply magical. It has so much character and history, and it's yours to play with. You truly have the flexibility to use it however you wish. We found that many venues during this process have a ton of rules around end time, types of alcohol, sound, etc... but The Great Hall really is the best. We never felt pressured or disappointed by any of their responses. This venue never caused us stress.
The sound quality is also impeccable. Since the venue is designed to host live music, the quality and efficiency of the sound was top-notch. Most venues aren't designed to host bands and loud sounds, so this was a huge plus.

I can go on forever about how special this venue is - so if you're on the fence, I hope this helps! HAVE YOUR WEDDING AT THE GREAT HALL! You will not regret it.

Amazing Place

The team at the Great Hall was absolutely amazing through our wedding planning process and the day of. Our coordinator Victoria answered all of our questions clearly and quickly, offered great vendor recommendations and was a rockstar the night of. The personal note and bottle of bubbly left for us on our wedding day was such a nice touch. We've gotten too many compliments to count on how beautiful our ceremony was in the sunlit conversation room, the general cool *vibes* of the venue, the gorgeous decor and the excellent bartenders and venue staff. Would highly recommend the Great Hall to anyone looking for a cool downtown venue with awesome staff!

Beautiful Venue

We had my daughter's wedding at the Great Hall. The Venue is fabulous and fit perfectly with our vision. It looked spectacular. Victoria at The Great Hall was very accommodating, helpful and easy to work with. All the staff were extremely pleasant on bar and eager to assist loading in and out or in anyway they could. We loved it and cant imagine having had it anywhere else.

Couldn't have asked for a better venue!

Easily one of the most, if not the most beautiful venue in Toronto! Not only is the venue gorgeous, but the team there is amazing too. From coordinating deliveries, pickups and photos, they were always willing to be flexible and accommodate our requests. On the day, the team was attentive, professional and made our day truly special.
