Palais Royale (1601 Lakeshore Boulevard West)
This nearly century-old waterfront wedding venue is definitely one of Toronto’s most stunning Art Deco buildings. It sits right on the shimmering waters of Lake Ontario and boasts vaulted ceilings, a stage, original gas fireplaces and more. Still not sold?

It’s outfitted with huge windows, a trendy tiled floors and a gorgeous solarium. The space can accommodate up to 150 seated guests, making it the perfect space for a mid-size wedding.
The Arcadian Court (401 Bay Street)

Inside you’ll find arched windows, massive chandeliers and Art Deco details. It can host north of a thousand guests in its largest space, giving you plenty of room for all of your nearest and dearest.
Junction Craft Brewing (150 Symes Road)
Junction Craft Brewing may be a relatively new operation, but it lives inside one of the city’s most treasured Art Deco spots. The portholed building was erected in the 1930’s and used to be home to a waste-transfer station. In 2016 the brewery moved in and set up shop, transforming its interior into a modern, industrial mecca for beer lovers (don’t worry, the structure still looks the same). Because it’s mainly used for brewing and bottling, the inside is pretty bare bones. This means you can dress it up however you want for your wedding day - stick to its art deco roots or go a completely different direction. It can accommodate anywhere from 50 to 350 guests, making it perfect for intimate affairs and massive soirees.
