A Stylish Toronto Brunch Wedding at Cluny Bistro in the Distillery District

By now, you know that we love a restaurant wedding, and this one reinforces all of our reasons for why couples should host a wedding at a restaurant.

If you're searching for a romantic and unique Toronto wedding venue, look no further than Cluny Bistro & Boulangerie in the historic Distillery District. This chic French-inspired restaurant offers a one-of-a-kind setting for couples looking to host a stylish, intimate celebration in the heart of the city.

For Simone and Andrew, a traditional wedding never felt quite right. Instead, they reimagined their day into a relaxed and elegant brunch wedding at Cluny, blending thoughtful design with the natural charm of one of Toronto’s most iconic restaurant wedding venues.

Ceremony, Cocktails, and Brunch All in One Space

The day began with a short, heartfelt ceremony inside Cluny Bistro. Guests remained seated at their tables while Simone and Andrew exchanged vows at the front of the room, a format that felt natural and organic within the space. With its sun-drenched interior, Cluny offered the perfect backdrop for a ceremony that was both beautiful and understated.

Immediately following the ceremony, guests stayed inside the restaurant for cocktail hour. Guests then sat down for a leisurely brunch, a signature feature of this Toronto restaurant wedding. By 3 p.m., the formal portion of the celebration had wrapped, allowing everyone to head out feeling full and connected.

Simone and Andrew then took advantage of the Distillery District’s cobblestone streets and heritage architecture for portraits before joining family later that evening for a private dinner, rounding out a wedding day that was beautifully personalized from start to finish.

A Fall Wedding at The Broadview Hotel, Toronto

We’re going back a few years to this gorgeous Broadview Hotel Toronto wedding from October 2019. We had the pleasure of designing this event but passed the planning torch off to INLY Events, one of our favourite local planners. Photographed by Agnes of Northern Wildflower and super dreamy florals by Kenilworth Florals brought this beautiful fall wedding to life. Irene, the bride, is an incredible graphic designer so it was honour to provide her with direction for her invitations and day-of stationery pieces with an extra personalized touch. We wanted dark, moody colours with pops of brighter colours through the use of patterns which she did in a gorgeous Victorian style. The vibe flowed seamlessly from the wallpaper at the hotel to the menus and sleeve envelopes for the personalized, handwritten thank you cards at each table. It truly was a spectacular day!

One of the top wedding venues in Toronto

The University Club of Toronto is one of my absolute favourite downtown Toronto wedding venues. The events and catering teams consistently set the bar higher every single wedding. They are some of the professional people taking pride in making every aspect of the wedding perfect. Oh, and the food. We need to talk about the food. The food is incredible. Like really and truly incredible.I always encourage my clients to simplify their wedding day by making things as fluid as possible. First and foremost I tell them to cut down on unnecessary travel time. The University Club makes planning your wedding day itinerary easy as you receive the venue on Friday with availability of weekend accommodations. It also offers plenty of getting ready spaces boasting a lot of breathing room and options for catering. The interior of the club is beautiful and filled with natural light, offering itself up as a wonderful photo location. It is also conveniently located across from Osgoode Hall, a beautiful location for outdoor wedding photos.I would be remiss if I didn't mention the bang up job they do to keep the original charm of the architecture and decor, while still being modern. It is extremely easy to accent with beautiful linens and flowers without taking away from the charm. Whether your style is bright and playful or timeless in whites The University Club of Toronto wedding space is the perfect place for the refined couple. A beautiful and relaxing setting, wonderful food, and easy decision making make it a hidden gem.
