Location
Gladstone Hotel is positioned at the corner of Gladstone Avenue and Queen Street West, just east of Dufferin Street. It is only 21 minutes from the Toronto Pearson International Airport.
My husband and I got married at the Gladstone on August 24, 2019. The Gladstone has everything that you need in a more rustic, cool venue. The Gladstone team was so professional and amazing (Sarah, thank you SO much for all your help. You are a dream to work with, and thank you for putting up with all my questions!). The food was amazing, the night-of staff was perfect (we receive SO many compliments), Daniel was great (even when we were running a little behind on schedule). We even had one staff member say that they have worked many weddings in their life, and they have never felt as much happiness and love in one room before as our wedding.
Our day was absolutely magical, having the suite upstairs was perfect, and I can't rave enough about how good everything was. The day went by so quickly, I wish we could do it all over again!
The Gladstone also accommodated us for our rehearsal dinner and the morning Drag brunch (which is a MUST SEE).
Again, thank you for a perfect day. And to all others thinking about hosting their wedding at the Gladstone, you won't regret it!

I can't recommend this venue enough
The staff at the Gladstone were so accommodating, kind and professional - they really made our day more than perfect. The atmosphere is so cool, the food is absolutely incredible, and they provide all the essentials for the venue (no renting tables, chairs etc!). Try to book the tower suite if you can - it is a beautiful two story apartment style room complete with kitchenette. It was the perfect size to get ready in (4 bridesmaids, two moms and me), we got our hair and makeup done on the first level while my husband got ready on the second level, and we had our first look on the roof!
They really made our day so stress free, I can't thank everyone at the Gladstone enough.

Great experience - would recommend 10/10!
We loved the Gladstone and had a perfect night! It felt like we just showed up and the night went exactly as planned around us. They were flexible when we had a few last minute changes, and completely attentive the day of the wedding. It was perfect!

Wedding Reception
We knew as soon as we met Sarah that we made the right choice with the Gladstone for our wedding party. All of the staff were incredible from start to finish. Professional, responsive, courteous, accommodating ... the list goes on. The Gladstone is a beautiful location, and we just can't say enough about Sarah, Daniel and the entire Gladstone team.

Wonderful venue and staff
During and after our wedding at the Gladstone, we’ve received countless compliments from our guests about the venue, dinner and the quality of the services. We went with the Summer Love Package, and its cost included the ballroom for ceremony and dinner, the 2nd floor space for cocktail reception with drinks and hors d'oeuvres, 3 course dinner itself, the bridal suite all-day access, menu and drink tastings, and many other services. We were warmly and professionally taken care of, but did not feel suffocated or pressured into any decisions. Thank you Sarah, Daniel and the Gladstone staff for an incredible experience!
