A Colorful and Romantic Wedding at Gardiner Museum, A Downtown Toronto Wedding Venue

A Modern, Artful Celebration at the Gardiner Museum Wedding Venue

Jennifer and Phil’s wedding at the Gardiner Museum wedding venue was a masterclass in simplicity, design, and thoughtful detail. Located in the heart of Toronto, the Gardiner Museum offers a modern backdrop for couples who love clean lines, beautiful architecture, and an artistic atmosphere. Jennifer and Phil embraced all of that and more.

Their ceremony took place in the Terrace Room, a bright, contemporary space that normally acts as the museum’s third-floor restaurant. With floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking The ROM, it was the perfect setting for an intimate exchange of vows. A deconstructed floral arch framed the couple beautifully - a modern, textural design that added softness without overwhelming the space.

As guests enjoyed cocktails in the main-floor lobby, the Terrace Room was transformed for the reception. Long rectangular tables replaced the ceremony chairs, creating a warm, inviting dinner setting. The deconstructed arch stayed in place behind the couple’s table, tying the ceremony and reception together with subtle continuity, an effortless detail that made the room feel cohesive and complete.

What made this Toronto museum wedding so striking was its simplicity. Jennifer and Phil opted for a clean, uncluttered design, allowing pattern and colour to do the talking. Their stationery pieces, (menus, table numbers, and signage) introduced modern patterns and graphic texture, while florals added vibrant colour that played beautifully against the neutral tones of the museum.

Every element felt intentional, balanced, and beautifully understated. Jennifer and Phil’s Gardiner Museum wedding proves that when you focus on quality details and cohesive design, you can create an atmosphere that’s both elegant and deeply personal, no excess required.

Guelph Tent Wedding on a Private Estate

Maggie and Brett were married June 24, 2017 at a private estate in Puslinch, just outside of Guelph, Ontario.

Some weddings feel like they could only happen in one place, rooted deeply in family, framed by nature, and filled with personal touches that tell a story. For Maggie and Brett, that place was Maggie’s parents’ 100-acre property just outside Guelph, Ontario, where rolling meadows, two sparkling lakes, and a herd of alpacas set the stage for a celebration that was as heartfelt as it was beautiful.

The day began at Langdon Hall Country House Hotel & Spa, a beloved Cambridge landmark known for its serene grounds and timeless architecture. It was the perfect setting for the wedding party to get ready - calm, refined, and surrounded by lush woodland.

At the heart of the celebration stood a sailcloth tent, sourced from Guelph Tent Rentals, specializing in Stillwater tents. With its sculpted peaks, translucent canopy, and warm wooden poles, it felt right at home.. The design was intentionally natural, understated yet elegant, allowing the tent and landscape to take center stage. It was a night that felt effortlessly magical, a blend of elegance and ease that could only happen when a wedding is so closely tied to home.

A Candlelit Celebration at Ricarda’s: A Romantic Downtown Toronto Wedding

Julianne and Mitchell’s November 2024 wedding at Ricarda’s Restaurant in Toronto was the perfect blend of simplicity, romance, and heartfelt celebration. They began their day at the iconic Fairmont Royal York, where they got ready surrounded by their closest people, before heading to the University of Toronto for portraits among the historic architecture and fall foliage - a timeless backdrop that perfectly matched their elegant yet laid-back style.

Their ceremony took place beneath the soaring arches of Ricarda’s stunning glass Atrium, a space that felt both grand and intimate for their 90 guests. After exchanging vows, everyone moved into the restaurant for cocktails, dinner, and dancing, a seamless flow that highlighted Ricarda’s versatility as a downtown Toronto wedding venue.

Julianne and Mitchell kept the décor simple and meaningful: DIY florals, loads of candlelight, and an atmosphere focused on love and connection. The result was a warm, inviting evening filled with laughter, happy tears, and celebration - proof that beautiful things happen when you let love lead.

Romantic Vintage Wedding at Lincoln Hall, Broadview Hotel | Toronto Wedding Venue Spotlight

Eryn and Jesse were married in November of 2024 at The Lincoln Hall and Terrace in The Broadview Hotel in downtown Toronto. Eryn wanted a wedding that blended the building’s historic charm with modern sophistication. Located in the heart of Riverside, this beautifully restored 19th-century landmark offers a one-of-a-kind setting for couples searching for a romantic and stylish wedding venue in the city.

Eryn and Jesse’s vintage-inspired celebration brought soft blush florals, brass accents, and classic elegance to life in the most stunning way. With its rich textures, original brick walls, and soaring windows, Lincoln Hall at The Broadview Hotel served as the perfect backdrop for a wedding filled with warmth, charm, and timeless romance.

A neutral-toned fabric offered a clean backdrop for their ceremony, allowing the black cane-back chairs and floor arrangements of blush, ivory, and peach-toned blooms to stand out. Tall floral pillars framed the altar, evoking the feeling of a secret garden indoors. The setup was both simple and sophisticated, ideal for couples who want a modern-meets-vintage ceremony in a historic venue. Guests were then invited to the rooftop patio for cocktail hour while the ceremony space was transitioned to dinner.

For the reception, long tables were dressed in linen-toned cloths and accented with brass cutlery, soft candlelight, and delicate floral centrepieces in ceramic compotes. The floral design leaned into a blush and brass colour palette, combining roses, ranunculus, and lisianthus for a look that was effortlessly elegant. We chose the black cane-back chairs to complement the brick walls, while then bending the two with the biscotti coloured tablecloths for a subtle flow and added texture.

It was a masterclass in elevated minimalism with vintage flair — perfect for couples who want a romantic yet refined setting.
