Graydon Hall did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding. The food was absolutely incredible (everyone cleaned their plates!), the drinks were fantastic, and the servers were very attentive. Lucy, our coordinator, was on top of everything and such a huge help on the day of.

I just had my wedding here 12 days ago. The venue is beautiful itself so I didn’t have to go crazy with decor. I loved my wedding. It was during the week during brunch & all of my guests had a blast! Recommend this venue 100%. It’s super romantic and beautiful.

We booked Graydon Hall Manor back in 2019 because it fit my vision of a fairytale wedding but unfortunately with COVID, there were bumps in the road which changed my opinion of Graydon but luckily, our wedding still ended successfully as Graydon managed to make up for it with their amazing waitstaff. Our COVID experience with Graydon was definitely less than desirable because we changed event coordinators 3 times and finally, the last one was the most professional and addressed our concerns which have been lingering since 2021. There was a lot of misunderstandings and confusion back and forth but I'm glad that they were all resolved in the end. A big thank you to Rebecca for assisting us with a wonderful execution of the wedding. Thank you to Mango and James for leading the team and providing impeccable service to our guests. Thank you to Graydon for giving us the wedding experience that we were expecting in 2019 even with COVID happening.

Note: Be prepared to book a year or more in advance, our preferred date in February 2022 (off-peak season) was just booked 7 months in advance by another couple.

First of all, I'd like to say that the GHM is one of the most beautiful, vintage luxury sites in Toronto. This was my number one choice for a venue in the city because of the romantic backdrops, the antique look of the place and the amenities: bridal suite and groom suite, many rooms and a stunning hall, lower lounge, terrace/fountain etc.

Since stage 3 reopening in Ontario, places started to allow site tours while wearing a mask. When I reached out a week ago, one of the event managers, Lisa, replied back the very next day and I was impressed with the information that I was given in such a timely manner.

The breakdown is a lot cheaper for off peak season (November-April) and there's no minimum spending. Manor rental, ceremony in the carriage house and use of the cocktail lounge during off peak season is approximately $8000, if you're getting married on peak season, minimum spending ranges between $10,000-$35,000 depending on the day of the week.
The average budget for my guest count of 60 was approximately $220 a person +HST and 20% service charge and that included:
Manor rental fee
On-site ceremony
In-house chairs and tables, place settings, and over 300 table-linens to select from
Cocktail hour with signature drinks and hors d’oeuvres
Three-course dinner
Standard bar package
Red and White wine
Your own Event Manager to help you with planning and day-of coordination

Our guest count was 60; so about $18,000 after tax and service charge which we felt was reasonable for what was offered. Their Lovely little wedding package is very affordable for just a ceremony (this is only $800 for a 2 hour rental, $400 for each additional hour but there are a ton of restrictions on services offered).


Our event manager said the site tours were booked for weeks and suggested we could do a self-guided tour and then have a follow-up afterwards in order to book the space. Lisa met us at the door and was super friendly and welcoming although she had other couples she was doing tours with at the time.

Unfortunately, the experience went downhill from there, from dusty looking sun damaged purple chairs, to stained coffee tables, to the worse being how we were treated by the housekeeping staff. They were questioning why we were there and didn't stop interfering with our visit even after another event manager confirmed we were on a self-guided tour. It seemed everywhere we went, they followed. It would be comical if it weren't for the awkwardness and tension we felt in the entire space. It was like they didn't trust us and were keeping tabs on us, for example, if I opened a closet door, they would come back and check that everything was in it's place right after. When we went outside, there was a couple being photographed and we were aware of not being in the background, but the housekeeping staff felt they needed to remind us that the area where the couple was, was off limits and that they had paid to be there (unlike us-was implied). We absolutely loved the look of the cocktail lounge and how cool it was temperature wise. We were sitting there cooling off when the housekeeping staff came downstairs, shut off one of the lights nearby and went back upstairs, I took a picture of the area without the light on after they left (it's the first one).

I told Lisa about our experience and how it really impacted our wish to get married there. The housekeeping staff would be there during the set up and take down of the wedding, but even if we were willing to look past this, I was informed that the date I had requested had just been booked by another couple. It was apparently on reserve, and it would have saved us time, money (transport) and embarrassment if we knew that that date was in the process of already being booked before arranging a tour. Hopefully any future couples considering this location learn from our mistakes - don't go on the self guided tour, unless you are absolutely sure you want this venue and you are not flexible with your date.

Not much more I can say about the beauty of Graydon Hall Manor that others have not already mentioned. I had my wedding ceremony at Graydon Hall Manor during the COVID-19 pandemic and was able to take advantage of the Lovely Little Wedding package which was priced quite reasonably compared to their usual non-pandemic pricing. I communicated only with Marisa during this time and she was EXCELLENT. She was extremely responsive and was able to arrange everything that I needed. Unfortunately, because of government restrictions at the time, no circulating food or drink could be served during our time there. However, I have been to Graydon Hall Manor for other weddings before and recall their food as being exceptional every time with amazing service. On the day of my wedding, everything went perfectly. For any other couples looking to book a small wedding ceremony during the pandemic, look no further!

We were looking to find a wedding venue somewhat centralized to accommodate our guests.
We were sold on the wow factor when you first walk up to the venue.
The driveway slopes uphill and trees (summer time) block most of the house from the street and parking lot. Once close to the front gate, the grandeur of the manor hits you.
We had several meetings with our event coordinator Marissa and she helped us through the process of getting married at Graydon Hall Manor and did an excellent job at pulling everything together on the day of.

There are so many spots on the grounds for great photo opportunities.

From our first meeting with our Event Coordinator Melissa, to our multitude of questions by email exchanged over 6 months of planning, to being able to pick up items a few days after our wedding, Graydon Hall Manor staff were superb! Melissa was always there to give us excellent advice, a guiding hand, and quick answers same day. The staff were completely attentive on our wedding day. We and our guests were treated like royalty. Everything was taken care of, including some delightful, unexpected extras, like 'groom' napkins for the 2 newlywed husbands, c/o Mango! Such beautiful touches. The venue itself is just gorgeous. We were lucky to have a sunny day where we made full use of the back terrace and gardens, which are so photogenic. But the inside is equally classy, understated and elegant. Graydon Hall gave us the perfect setting and service we wanted for our special day, and we were not disappointed. We will be forever grateful!

I can’t thank Graydon hall and their staff enough for the perfect wedding they gave us. Thy work tirelessly to make sure you have the wedding of your dreams. I have to say a particular thank you to Kim, who took care of absolutely everything for us with so much patience and kindness! The staff were all great on the night as well.

I am extremely disappointed with GHM. I submitted a form online that indicated the size of our party and yet, after 30 emails and an entire MONTH of back and forth communication they told me this week they couldn’t accommodate our wedding because we didn’t have enough guests. This was something they could have told us from the start, since we provided them this information.

Early on they told us the date we wanted was available. To which I asked “how can we proceed to book this and put a deposit down?” After over a week of attempting to pull information out of them we asked for a call. We finally had our call, and were informed they booked another event on the date we wanted. We asked what other dates they had available and they told us September 6th. We wanted a guarantee this time that they wouldn’t give our date away as we were obviously serious and basically begging them to take our money at this point. We booked a tour of the facility for a Monday, however on the Friday close to the end of the business day they informed us they booked an event on the Monday and had to cancel our tour. Absolutely no response or care in the world on their end to try and reschedule with us. They don’t care about your time or your event whatsoever.

We lost an entire month of planning our wedding because of their incompetence. We explained how unhappy we were and their only resolution was “sorry for the inconvenience” and they didn’t respond after this. This is not professional and I expected so much more from GHM. Considering they market themselves as a luxury venue they should be deeply embarrassed by their ineptness. The gardens and venue are gorgeous, no doubt, but the way they treat potential paying customers is disgusting. As we already told them - thank you for less than nothing.

The venue is gorgeous and the waitstaff were amazing but the management team made the experience of planning a wedding unreasonably stressful. Responses to emails were slow and confusing. Specific and direct questions were left unanswered and details that seemed part of the original quoted price were additional charges.. You will be told everything will be fine even when it does not match your vision at all - it's frustrating. Throughout the process I didn’t feel like I was being listened to or heard. I will say in the end, my wedding was beautiful and my guests had a wonderful time, but I don’t think I’d host an event here again.
The manager did call me after hearing how disappointed I was with the experience and let me voice my frustrations, which was appreciated.
