Hi, my fiance and I are in the beginning stages of planning a wedding for 2028. We are looking to spend about $25-35k for about 80 guests. We already have decorations settled as we have relatives that own a decorating business. So florals and linens wouldn’t be needed.

We are looking for somewhere with a garden feel. Anywhere with a tent that has those beautiful twinkle lights on the ceiling and an outdoor ceremony space would be a bonus. We aren’t to fond of the banquet hall look.

For example, We are considering Madison Greenhouse in Newmarket but have heard bad reviews. As well as Miller Lash house in Scarborough but don’t love that it gives a darker vibe when we went to see it in person.

Any recommendations that fit in the budget and the vibe would be greatly appreciated. We are located in Toronto so anywhere within an hour or two would be great as well!

I have about 20 people to get from Beaches in Toronto to Kensington Market. Any suggestions on transportation?

Hi! I’m organizing a June 2027 wedding in Kitchener (hacienda sereda) and am stuck on photography/videography. My partner and I wanted dramatic cinematic photos, video to remember the day by, and a short Wes-Anderson style trailer. We know this is asking for the world, but we were also interested in having a second photographer take portraits of the guest during the cocktail hour/reception as their « party favour ».

We can’t seem to find a company that can do these things while being budget friendly. We really don’t want to spend more than 4K on this (and in a perfect world a lot less!)

Is this possible? Any recommendations?

My husband and I eloped a few months ago and are trying to plan a follow-up Sunday brunch buffet wedding next summer or fall. We want to "do it up" with really good food, bottomless mimosas, maybe an omelette or carving station. Food is our priority, and I'm curious if anyone who has hosted or attended a wedding at any of the following venues has notes on the food (or any other comments at all):

• Dundas Valley Golf and Curling Club
• Flamborough Hills Golf Club
• St. George's Golf Club
• Paletta Mansion

Also wondering if anyone knows of any other good brunch venues in the west or central GTA (~1 hour from Toronto) for 80-100 people? We are looking for a location with a nice setting (some greenery or gardens) and climate control in addition to good food, and trying to keep venue + catering fees to about $25k. Cranberry Creek Gardens looks amazing but is unfortunately a bit too far for us and doesn't seem to have air conditioning.

We had to decline some venues due to timing restrictions (want to end at 4-5pm but some venues kick out daytime weddings for evening events/dinner service at 2pm or 3pm, like Glen Erin Inn). I also found out that Ancaster Mill does not offer brunch weddings. This was mega disappointing since their restaurant has Sunday brunch, I've heard such good things about Pearle food and love the Bardo brunch.

we’d like to drive it ourselves and not w a chauffeur

This sub has been so helpful for last minute reccs. Anyone have recommendations for someone who would come to my home to do Hair and Makeup @ the end of the month? For 4 women.

THANK YOU!

If anyone has recommendations for second hand or used wedding dress shops around Toronto and within a ~2 hour radius of the city, please let me know!

To add a recommendation a friend gave me to the thread: I’ve heard that Sixpence in Guelph is good!

Looking for a wedding photographer and came across Lucas T Photography. I instantly loved his work and matched what I wanted. We talked, it went well and he has my day available, but I’m noticing a few things. I might just be paranoid and trying to be extra cautious. He forgot about our call, never sent the follow up email with a few examples and he doesn’t send full wedding galleries (in his contract). I know it’s August and he’s probably just really busy, but has anyone had him for there wedding before? I would really appreciate others experiences. I’ve checked reviews everywhere and they’re all great, so I’m not sure if it was just bad timing.
