Looking for affordable venue suggestions in the Gta?

Congratulations! You and your FH are on the same timeline as me and my FH! I want the rustic vibe as well. I like exposed brick and beams, so I feel you lol! If you want a restaurant, Archeo..it has a rustic charm to it. If you’re looking for a “hall” you can look at the fermentation cellar. Those would be my picks, maybe you would love them as much as I do - best 💛

Hey there, Carmen!

Some great ideas and suggestions from the PPs. You can use the WeddingWire venue directory to search for venues in the area - Wedding Venues Toronto. You can change the location and also filter by venue type (restaurant, loft, etc.).

You could rent a condo party room or community centre or you can even rent a cottage on a lakefront and have the wedding outside and the reception right on the property itself

Have you considered a brunch wedding instead of the traditional dinner? That would save a lot of money.
Restaurants are another affordable option. At 150 guests you might be able to rent out the entirety of a restuarant.
Radius in Hamilton rents out their restaurant for events (they even have a beautiful 2nd floor patio that they do wedding ceremonies on) and I remember that the minimum amount required to have the whole place included without a rental fee was reasonable. It has a lovely rustic charm and might be worth looking into.

Welcome to Wedding Wire Carmen!


Legions and halls always tend to be on the affordable end of rentals in a pinch. If you’re looking for rustic, perhaps there’s farms or barns for rent that are reasonable even if they’re outside the city? Even if you could find somewhere with property to pitch a tent ( or a park and get a permit).
