GLADSTONE HOUSE - ALWAYS WELCOME

As Toronto's longest continuously operating hotel and following an extensive renovation, Gladstone House reopened its doors in 2021 in the heart of West Queen West. Built in 1889, this landmark property features traditional light hardwood floors, restored exposed brick walls, and locally curated art throughout the building. In contrast, unique and innovative lighting applications add a touch of modern flair and bring the building to life. Celebrate your wedding with us!

Gladstone House features two unique multi-functional event spaces: The Ballroom and Melody Bar. Celebrate, dance, dine, and more in these event spaces to make your event a one-of-a-kind experience.

Most Amazing Venue!

From the history, to the staff, to the venue itself - everything was top notch. My husband and I cannot say enough good things about the Gladstone.

When we were considering venue options, this one stood out to us the most as it was somehow modern and vintage at the same time. The interior will blow you away. The only thing better than the decor is the staff - they are willing to go above and beyond to ensure your day is absolutely perfect.

Having stayed there the weekend of the wedding, we can confirm that the hotel is great for a stay as well as events. Everyone was professional and attentive, our guests had a great time and the food was PERFECTION! Our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing everything tasted.

If you're unsure if this is the venue for you then this is your sign! As a bonus, it's a place you can come back to every year for your anniversary! My husband and I will actually be returning in a month to celebrate our first anniversary (of many) with the Gladstone!

Fabulous Wedding at the Gladstone from start to finish

I had my wedding at the Gladstone House in July of 2024. Our Gladstone wedding coordinator, Giannina, kept us organized and she managed the day perfectly. The Gladstone bar staff and wait staff were friendly and professional. The food was fantastic. The hotel itself was the perfect place for our wedding.

Beautiful Wedding Experience at Gladstone House

We got married at Gladstone House in November 2024, and it was an absolutely incredible experience! We worked with Giannina (Nina)! The venue’s unique charm, artistic ambiance, and historic character made for the perfect setting. The staff was attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. From the beautifully designed spaces to the exceptional food and service, every detail exceeded our expectations. Our guests loved the intimate yet vibrant atmosphere, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day. Highly recommend Gladstone House for a stylish and unforgettable wedding!

The perfect venue for an intimate Toronto wedding!

We had our wedding here with 80 guests in May 2024 and it was a day we will always cherish and Gladstone House will be a place we keep coming back to to celebrate :) It has the perfect Toronto vibes, and was a super fun, yet historical, place to host our wedding with many international guests. The decor throughout the hotel made for incredible photos and the wedding venue itself felt intimate, yet spacious. Every step of the experience with Gladstone was very easy, all of the costs were transparent, and we felt that the staff were always on our team and there to help us have the best celebration. We stayed at Gladstone in the Corner King Suite for one night and the Tower Suite for another, and we can highly recommend both, they were perfect for getting ready and the views can't get better. The food at the reception was truly fantastic! There were so many appetizers, and no one was left hungry, the food really lived up to the tasting we had (which was also a lot of fun). The staff went above and beyond, and we heard many anecdotes from family and friends of how helpful they were. We are super thankful in particular to Nina, who was the event service manager that we were working with, and how dedicated she was to making everything run smoothly and look amazing! All in all, we can only recommend Gladstone House and if given the choice would 100% choose to have our wedding here again!

Our dream wedding

My husband and I recently hosted our wedding ceremony and reception at the Gladstone House. I cannot express to you how much booking at the Gladstone House made our wedding dreams come true. The space is stunning and the food, service and staff were truly amazing as well. The timing and communication on the day of went so smoothly! Giannina was so professional to deal with and helped to guide us throughout the entire process from booking, menu tasting and the wedding day. We are so grateful to have worked with the entire Gladstone House staff for our special day and will recommend booking a wedding here to anyone.

The perfect small ceremony

My husband and I had a small legal ceremony at the Gladstone House in the Robinson Room, inviting about 25 guests who couldn’t join us for our larger wedding in Las Vegas the following week.

From the very beginning, Eduarda was incredible. She guided us through the entire process, from the venue tour to setting up the menu, consumption bar, seating arrangements, event set-up and decor. I honestly couldn’t have done it all without her expertise.

Having the ceremony and dinner in the same room created a wonderfully intimate atmosphere that was perfect for our vision. The setting also provided stunning opportunities for couple photos, which we absolutely loved.

Typically, wedding food doesn’t have high expectations, but Gladstone House truly exceeded them. Every guest raved about their meals, and many mentioned they’d be back to dine there again. The service was equally impressive, with attentive and friendly staff ensuring everything went smoothly.

We also got ready at the hotel and found them very accommodating with early check-in and providing high-top tables and stools for hair and makeup. The rooms were stunning, and I must say, it was one of the coziest beds I've ever slept in!

I can’t recommend the Gladstone Hotel enough. They made our experience seamless and memorable from start to finish!
