Kurtz Orchard
Located in Niagara-on-the-Lake, this dreamy venue encompasses three luxurious venues, making it one of the Top GTA Wedding Venues. I love this Niagara wedding venue for both its variety and understated luxury. First, found amongst the beautifully landscaped orchard and vineyard, the Gracewood Estate is an all outdoor venue. Situated between the Apple Orchards, you can host a stunning kings table dinner right under trees and sky. The next location here is the Kurtz Orchard, which is an exceptionally elegant setting, complete with a large white-tent to host dinner and a bridge overlooking a peaceful fish pond. Lastly, the Kurtz Marketplace is a rustic yet chic indoor venue with warm wood details and cathedral style ceilings with chandeliers. The nearby gardens host gorgeous ceremonies and cocktail receptions.
