Seryal Sent on 30/09/2024Seamless 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. -

Wedding October 4th 2026
My new husband and I had the most amazing wedding at Granite Brewery. The owner Sam has so much expertise when it comes to wedding planning, and he made the whole process run so smoothly. The staff did so much of the prep work day-of that our setup crew barely had anything to worry about. We had our ceremony in the courtyard and it was stunning. We chose the buffet option for dinner and it was absolutely delicious! There was tons and tons of food to go around, with plenty of options for guests with dietary restrictions. The dining room was the perfect size for our group of 87, and the staff helped make room for a dance floor after dinner. We found our DJ, MC, photographers, and officiant on Granite’s list of recommended vendors and they were all fantastic. At the end of the night, the Granite staff did all of the tear-down work and tidied up our decorations so that we could easily pick them up the next day. We are so thankful for all of their help. -

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
