On your big day, you can make use of its luxurious dining room, verandah, and surrounding parkland. Indoors there is enough room to seat 85, and you can invite even more guests if you host it outside.

If the weather is cooperating, you can also make use of the courtyard for some open-air action. The largest room available has enough space for 54 guests for a seated dinner or 146 guests for a standing reception, but there are also a few petite options that would be better suited for micro weddings and elopements.

Markham: Novita Italian Cuisine (25 Cochrane Drive)

If a restaurant wedding sounds more up your alley, check out Novita Italian Cuisine in Markham. The eatery is absolutely stunning, with a sculptural wooden design that any art lover would be impressed by and sleek modern furnishings.
