Venue hunting!

Taylor, on November 16, 2016 at 12:51 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 15

Hello everyone!

Recently my fiance and I have have started looking for our dream venue. We have a fair sized budget but we've only found a few places we liked. Our top three are 1. Cambridge Mill 2. Queen's Landing and 3. Ancaster Mill. I tend to be a little picky and I have been trying to keep an open mind but its just hard! - I just want it to be perfect. I know we could just pick one of the 3 that I listed but I can't help but feel we need to look more before deciding on the perfect venue. We want the reception and ceremony at the same venue!

Would anyone care to share some venues they looked at?

Tay

    Hey Taylor, definitely! I'm always full of ideas! Smiley winking If you want to do something symbolic for the ceremony, you could have a look at these unity ideas: Which unity idea will best represent your marriage?

    For your decorations... There are many options you could go for! How do you like these?

    Do you like the flowers in ceremony decors? Or would you like to go for something different? Smiley smile

    Well thats a good question! I'm going more a mix of elegant and rustic overall but as for the ceremony I'm not sure what type! My FH and I are not religious so but I would like something fun in the ceremony as well! Any suggestions?

    York Mills Gallery
    Miller Lash house
    The Henley Room
    Black Creek Pioneer Village
    The lake house in pickering

    Then there is always casa loma! It is pricy but its beautiful!

    These are ones that are different then maybe other weddings you have been to! It would make your wedding stand out!

    Oh my gosh! I forgot another one and it's just stunning but I just didn't want to go into Toronto, if you are ok with it, check out The Hart House. It's on the UofT grounds! Amazing!

    I am open to most things!! I'm not a huge fan of banquet halls but I've been trying to keep and open mind! I would be thankful for any venue suggestions!

    Whistle Bear is great! My friend got married there last year- the DOC was fantastic there too!

    Are you looking for something different like having it at a museum or do you have a preference?! Do you like or dislike banquet halls!?

    The Cambridge Mill and Ancaster Mill part of the same group. They have a location called The Whistle Bear in Cambridge that is stunning! Check it out! Properties by the Edge Hospitality Group are fabulous as well! That's who we chose to host our wedding! We booked the Oakville Convention Centre! You can contact Zorka! She's amazing! She made me feel so solid and organized with everything. They know what they are doing ! They just acquired LaSalle Park banquet hall in Burlington , so that would be great spot to check out.
    We also loved Marquis Gardens in Ancaster! We wanted to book with them first but just couldn't because we had over 200 people. But the girl I worked with Deanna was Stellar! She was on the ball!
    If you want their emails send me a private message and i will forward them to you.

    My FH would be completely fine with 100 people! Adding more people would just mean inviting more friends and he has no shortage of those! Definitely something to keep in mind though!

    They DO have a 100 guest minimum (or you have to pay for 100 people no matter what), which is what stopped me from booking...and it sounds like you might be like me, based on our other chat!

    But for such a stunning venue, they do have reasonable prices! Maybe for my 20 year vow renewal I'll go there!

    Ohhhhh why would you look anywhere else? Ancaster Mill is beautiful!!!

    Kidding- if you like that style check out vineyards or "The Old Mill" in Toronto (not toooo far way!)
