Toronto Outdoor Venues

The wedding industry took a change in the last couple years! And most weddings moved outdoors. Here in Toronto, there are some amazing outdoor wedding venues!

So, since I am a wedding vendor, I spend a lot of time at wedding venues. Currently there are six outdoor venues in Toronto that are so beautiful and also perfect for a socially distant wedding!

Graydon Hall Manor

Graydon Hall Manor has a rich history beginning in 1936. This grand Georgian manor was completely redesigned in the year 2000. It's perfect for grand outdoor weddings. It's a very romantic and luxurious venue! The elegance is unmatched because Graydon Hall Manor was designed with the glamour of the 1920's in mind. Complete with elegantly designed rooms, plush furnishings, and charming fireplaces.

Casa Loma

Casa Loma was completed in 1914, 107 years ago! Like Graydon Hall Manor, Casa Loma also has a rich history! Casa Loma is a museum style castle. Here couple's will be surrounded by five acres of lush gardens. It's a landmark because it is one of North America's only castles making it one of a kind. The interior of this venue is truly beautiful. There are impressive 60ft ceiling, stained glass dome and beautiful natural light!

But we're here to talk about the outdoor venue. The outdoor area of the venue is located high above the city. Because of this it has a stunning view of downtown Toronto. It's an ideal backdrop for wedding photos. There are also fountains, sculptures, and rare florals on the Casa Loma grounds for beautiful wedding photos!

Kortright Event Space 

Kortright Event Space is a charming outdoor woodland wedding venue. It's perfect for fairytale or garden themed weddings! The Kortright event space was founded in 1979. And there are indoor and outdoor spaces available for weddings! With a capacity for up to 200 wedding guests.

If you are having a vintage, rustic, or country wedding and you want to have it outdoors I definitely recommend you check out this Toronto outdoor venue! Besides being beautiful, it's also social distance friendly.

The Vue

Another favorite of mine in the Toronto area is The Vue! It's located near the airport, so it makes it easy for your traveling guests to get to the venue! 

Like the other venues, this venue has either an indoor or outdoor option. The Vue's outdoor area has a grand arch for couples to get married under. Enjoy a beautiful view from the altar with lakes and an open green field.

Royal Ambassador Banquet Hall

For a princess fairytale outdoor wedding, check out the Royal ambassador banquet hall! It truly gives a destination wedding feel without having to leave Toronto! Take in the rolling hills, manicured gardens, and a 20-acre natural lake. All while vowing forever to your significant other under one of the two gazebos.

This venue has one of the highest capacities, ranging from 10 to 500! So, it's perfect for large weddings.

Aga Khan Museum

For a sophisticated wedding aesthetic look into one the city's architectural treasures, Aga Khan Museum! Aga Khan Museum is truly a unique event space. Surrounded by a park and beautiful reflective pools. There is a glass-enclosed courtyard where you can merge the beauty of outdoor dining with an indoor vibe for your reception. And there is a capacity of up to 225 guests!

There is a second option within this wedding venue. A tent can be set up in Aga Khan Park to have a reception in the manicured gardens!

And that's my current top outdoor wedding venues in the greater Toronto area!
