Seamless coordination, beautiful setting and the perfect wedding day

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Granite Brewery & Tied House. From the initial planning stages to the day of our wedding, Sam and his team made the entire process effortless, handling every detail with a level of professionalism and care that put us at ease. Sam was incredibly accommodating, always ensuring that all our requests were met and even going the extra mile to make our day truly special. On the day itself, Owen was fantastic, running the show smoothly and making sure everything went off without a hitch.

The garden setting for our ceremony was absolutely beautiful, and the reception was equally perfect. Our guests loved the food and raved about the variety of drinks — from their house ales to the specialty beers, there was something for everyone. Granite Brewery’s longstanding reputation as one of Toronto’s original craft breweries speaks to their dedication to quality, and it really showed in both their hospitality and their menu offerings.

We’re so grateful to the entire team for making our day as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. We would highly recommend Granite Brewery & Tied House to anyone looking for a venue that combines excellent service, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Amazing venue!

The venue has a cozy, old pub charm with tasteful modern touches. The ceremony space is naturally beautiful and surprisingly peaceful, even in the middle of Toronto.
The staff were incredible — attentive, professional, and kept everything running smoothly all night. The food was a huge hit; weeks later, guests are still raving about it, and some have already gone back just to eat there again! couldn’t imagine a better place to get married. I would trust The Granite again in a heartbeat.

Perfect spot for your wedding!

Thanks a million to the staff of Granite Brewery!
We just had our big day here and what an incredible time it was, thanks to Sam, Owen and team.
This location is perfection: easy access for all in the GTA with safe parking, a gorgeous courtyard ceremony space, and a cozy inside perfect for the party! The team made everything simple and we never lifted a finger. They were incredibly helpful and we feel their prices were very fair. Food was amazing and our guests made sure to tell us. 100/5 stars

Could not be happier with the Granite as our wedding venue! Fantastic experience from beginning to end.

My husband and I got married at the Granite recently and we had such a wonderful time that it's kind of hard to express how much we love this wonderful establishment and its people.

The people:
Firstly, Sam was our main point of contact for our wedding and from our first meeting, we knew that we were in good hands. He was responsive, friendly, and genuine whenever we spoke to him and we just knew we could trust him with our big day. We visited the Granite one day several months before our wedding to find that a renovation had happened unbeknownst to us and the reception area for our wedding looked quite different than what we had originally booked. When we reached out to Sam about it, he took the time to explain why the renovations were necessary (it made total sense), took accountability immediately, and made things right for us. It meant a lot to us that he didn't just dismiss us or argue with us, and it says a lot about how well he manages his family's business.

In addition to Sam, everyone who works at the Granite is super lovely. Ryan, Tinna, Owen, and Ada are all super friendly and always provide amazing service. The feedback we got from our wedding guests was that the service was prompt and excellent. Unfortunately, one of our guests made a mess on the floor (we're so sorry) but the staff handled it so professionally and didn't mention a word of it to us.

The food:
The food at the Granite is amazing. All our guests raved about the food, including my picky mother! We went with Buffet 2 and both the chicken and beef were incredible. Both were perfectly cooked. Super tender and juicy - not dry at all. My go-to on regular days (not my wedding day) is the lamb curry which is so hearty, delicious and really spicy. Ironically, despite getting married at a brewery, I am not a big drinker but have quite enjoyed the Ringberry ale! They are also super accommodating and clear about dietary restrictions so if you have any vegetarians or people with allergies in your group, they are very easy to work with.

Atmosphere + premises:
From the outside you would never be able to tell how just how charming this place is. The indoor seating areas are just so cozy and the reception area is great for events. We also attended a trivia night once and it was a blast. The patio is really nice and overlooks a beautiful courtyard which is where we did our wedding ceremony + photos. I cannot get over how beautiful it looked out there with the white hydrangeas in full bloom. We also love how the washrooms are inclusive. Our guests appreciated that this was an all-in-one venue where you can do the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one location. No one wants a 3 hour gap between a church service and a reception at opposite ends of the city!

Value:
If you're looking for a wedding venue that can accommodate around ~100 ish, I highly recommend checking out the Granite. Every other venue we looked at was ridiculously priced with crazy additional fees. The Granite gives you everything you need without ever trying to upsell you or charge you for any extra stuff. It's all very clear from the beginning what you're paying for.

I promise you won't be disappointed if you book your wedding with Granite. They really are the best team and my husband and I cannot thank them enough for their hard work in making our day so perfect.

In summary:
-great food
-great staff
-cozy + intimate atmosphere
-beautiful courtyard
-free parking
-fun, inclusive events like drag brunches
-ceremony, cocktail hour + reception all-in-one location

Easy, flawless wedding

Sam and his team are pros. They made it so incredibly easy to plan a wedding there, the courtyard was beautiful for the ceremony, the room looked lovely, the staff was fantastic, having the covered patio was excellent. We were shocked at how easy it was to find all information we needed on the website and how quick and helpful Sam was throughout. We also had many people sound pleasantly surprised when they told us how much they enjoyed the food. Way more delicious than you expect from a wedding buffet at a pub.

To sum up the level of thoughtfulness: we opened our card box the next morning to find they had slipped in a card signed by the team and a gift card. Highly recommend for any event!

Outstanding venue with world class service

The crew at the granite is beyond measure. They are creative, understanding, effective, timely and experienced with large groups and weddings. Sam worked closely with us to hammer out details, complete tastings and ensure we were well taken care of at each phase of planning and execution.

The courtyard is unmatched in midtown, providing a quiet oasis against the endless construction and traffic of the area. Even with light rain the morning of, it wasn't muddy and no guests got bogged down. Additionally, the venue is well suited to beautiful photos that look like they were taken anywhere other than midtown.

The value for money is also unparalleled. The food was delicious and the staff were on their a-game. I will absolutely recommend the granite to anyone who will listen, and twice to those who won't.

Incredible Venue and Best Staff!

Granite Brewery & Tied House is an incredible restaurant, brewery and wedding venue! My husband and I have always loved Granite, so when it came time to plan our wedding they were an obvious choice for us. Sam made the planning process so smooth as he was always responsive and so detailed in his answers to any questions we had. We were able to do a tasting in advance to help narrow down our menu choices, and Sam helped guide us along the way with any decisions that needed to be made. The Granite staff really made us feel like everything was going to be taken care of and reduced a lot of potential stress leading up to the big day.

We requested to have a rehearsal dinner at Granite the night before the wedding, and they were so accommodating. We were able to practice the ceremony, and a table was set up on the back patio for us to have dinner afterwards. Chris introduced himself to us as the lead staff that would be taking care of us for both the rehearsal and the wedding. He is absolutely incredible and was a pleasure to work with. He ensured that the service was excellent, and really made us feel at ease.

The wedding day at Granite went even better than I could have ever imagined! The Granite staff were all so helpful in getting the venue set up in the afternoon. The space is already beautiful, so we only needed to bring minimal decorations and it really felt like a beautiful wedding space. They have access to a gorgeous courtyard right behind the restaurant where the ceremony took place. Then the back patio was used for cocktail hour, before moving inside the restaurant for the reception. It was incredible to be able to have everything all in one venue so our guests didn’t have to travel, while still feeling like there was a great flow to the evening getting to move between the three different spaces.

We chose to do the plated dinner, and the food and drinks were absolutely amazing. We had guests come up to us after to compliment how good the food was, and talk about how impressed they were with the service. Chris was incredible and really kept the whole reception flowing so smoothly, while also connecting with our other vendors to keep them informed of the timing between each course. After dinner, the dance floor opened and our guests had a great time! I loved that there was a dancefloor for any guests that wanted to dance, but there was also the back patio available for any guests that wanted to relax in a quieter space and just chat instead. The whole day felt so wonderful and intimate, and a big part of that was Granite being such an incredible venue and the staff making everything run so smoothly. I would absolutely recommend Granite to anyone considering it for their wedding venue!

Hidden Gem!!!

I cannot thank Granite Brewery & Tied House enough for making our wedding day an absolutely unforgettable experience. From the moment my partner and I stumbled upon this hidden gem over a year ago, we knew we had found something truly special. Our decision to book our 2023 wedding with them was one of the best we've ever made.

Throughout the months leading up to our big day, the dedication and care shown by Sam were nothing short of remarkable. Sam went above and beyond, meeting with us on multiple occasions to address our questions and alleviate any concerns we had. It's clear that the team at Granite Brewery takes immense pride in their work, and their commitment to ensuring every detail was perfect was truly heartwarming.

As the weeks drew closer to the event, we encountered some last-minute changes that could have potentially caused stress and anxiety. However, thanks to the unwavering support and professionalism of both Sam and Chris, we were able to navigate these changes seamlessly. Their flexibility and willingness to accommodate our needs made all the difference and eased our minds during a potentially stressful time.

The wedding day itself was an absolute dream, and that's largely thanks to the outstanding staff at Granite Brewery. Every member of the team demonstrated an exceptional level of service, going above and beyond to make sure every aspect of our celebration was flawless. Their kindness, attention to detail, and genuine warmth made us feel like we were among friends who truly cared about making our day special.

What truly set Granite Brewery & Tied House apart, however, was the incredible sense of humour and lightheartedness they brought to the occasion. Laughter filled the air, both from us and our guests, as the staff effortlessly wove humour into their interactions, creating an atmosphere of joy and relaxation. This made the entire experience not only enjoyable for us, but for everyone in attendance.

I highly recommend Granite Brewery to anyone planning a wedding or any special event. Their team's dedication, expertise, and genuine passion for creating unforgettable moments are unparalleled. From the moment we booked to the last dance of the night, Granite Brewery exceeded our expectations in every way imaginable. Thank you to your remarkable team as you’ve given us a unforgettable experience.
