At the heart of this Mississauga wedding venue stands the Glass Pavilion. With its wide open space and gracefully draped high ceilings, this pavilion is ideal for summer weddings. Another key-highlight is the Bell-Gairdner Mansion which keeps its vintage appeal while providing a timeless setting due to its modern restoration. This classy indoor space is ideal for your intimate wedding, seating up to 60 people. However, as I learned while photographing a beautiful Harding Waterfront Estate wedding, the remaining estate grounds also make for an idyllic location with its lush greenery and lakeside setting.
In the heart of Niagara’s wine country, the Inn On The Twenty is a hotel with six different wedding venue options for your wedding. This is one of my favourite hotel wedding venues for its huge variety of scenery from sprawling vineyards, to vintage cellars, and elegant barns.

Tucked away among a quaint village and green forests, the Elora Mill Hotel makes for a tranquil, yet scenic backdrop for weddings. This former grain store and mill was renovated into a peaceful hotel and spa in 2018 to include several gorgeous spaces, finding a unique balance between rustic and romance. I love the beauty of this adorable town. It’s graceful setting by the Grand River will make you feel completely transported back in time.
This Victorian era estate goes back six generations for the Honsberger family. Also a restaurant and music venue, and including four different ceremony and reception sites, this winery wedding venue has it all. The contemporary, rustily vintage feel of this venue is completed by hand finished wooden tables, gold detailing, and produce grown from their own garden. Personally, I love the rare local, country-side flair the Honsberger Estate offers as a top GTA wedding Venue.
