Simply Perfect.

My partner and I hosted our Engagement Party at the Bickford House, Guild Inn Estates and it was absolutely fantastic! The grounds were gorgeous and the food was delicious. Staff were extremely helpful and organized, ensuring our event ran smoothly. Our Events Details Manager Teja was amazing. She made planning so easy! She’s friendly and personable and was able to completely understand our vision and had no problem answering any of our questions. So many guests have said they will also be looking to have their future events here, and we will be sure to recommend them to others. It was all absolutely perfect!

Beautiful venue and great staff

We recently had our wedding at the Guild Inn Estate and I can honestly say that we had a great experience. We had prompt responses when we first inquired about the location, it was an easy process to book our walk through, food tasting and any other visits we needed. Most importantly, our event manager, Priyanka, kept an open communication with us from the time we decided to book this venue to the date we got married. She really was accommodating and was really patient with our requests. Lastly, all the staff that worked on our actual wedding day was so kind! The one downside to booking this location for us was that because this venue books multiple weddings in one day, we found it difficult to take pictures where we wanted due to other weddings etc.

Beautiful outdoor setting.

We got married in the outdoor part where all the statues are. So we didn’t go through the Guild itself but had to get a park permit from the city.

We picked this location because of the absolute beauty of the place. So many great places to take pictures, the Greek Theatre is the best place to get married and also to take pictures.

Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a venue or just a place to take amazingly photos.

Flawless Wedding at The Guild

Our wedding experience with the Guild was nothing short of amazing. From our first visit, to booking our date, to finalizing our details, the Guild staff were transparent, open, and very easy to work with. Natalie our details Manager was a pro, extremely responsive and detail oriented. She made sure we stayed on track with all deliverables and was flexible to accommodate our requests. Judy and the event team on the day of were AMAZING! We felt like a king and queen, always with someone checking in on us, bringing us drinks and making sure we had everything we needed throughout dinner. The food was INCREDIBLE - huge portions and high quality far exceeding what we have experienced at other high end venue in the city. We honestly have nothing but amazing things to say about the Guild, we loved it, our guests loved it, and our wedding was absolutely perfect! Thank you to everyone who had a part in our special day! We cannot thank you enough!

Fairytale Vibes

I had my wedding this year in August and the venue was everything magical. The gazebo offered views of the vast green outdoors, while guests were seated under twinkling lights in the comfort of air conditioning. We had a fusion-style nikkah ceremony with an aisle and altar where my now husband and I sat with our imam and our witnesses. The gazebo is able to be fully opened (the glass) or closed. It has a/v functionality too.

The Hall A 1/2 was where we had our reception and it was just as spectacular with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the grounds. The room itself is elegant with very little additional decor required.

Amazing wedding location

My wife and I loved the venue from our first visit. We had a great tour and knew this is where we wanted to get married. The day of the wedding was magical. All of our guests loved the food and location. The Guild Inn provided us with a list of preferred vendors and we used vendors exclusively from the list, which made our job of planning much easier. If you are planning on getting married in the Scarborough area, we would highly recommend.

Aug 2023 wedding at the guild inn

We had our wedding in Aug 2023, and it was the best day ever! I booked this venue a year in advance and there was a lot of communication virtually. All my questions and concerns were answered by Priyanka who took care of all the details for this wedding. The price was also fair compared to other venues and this beautiful park with statues outside was what sold me! Everything ran smoothly the day of and they fixed and answered concerns I had the day of as well. I love how all the staff will come and check on you before everything started from ceremony, cocktail hour and to reception. Thank you to Priyanka, and all the staff!!!

Great experience at Guild Inn Estate!

Our wedding at The Guild Inn Estate was like a masterpiece come to life. Every little thing was just right. The place was so pretty, and there was plenty of room for photos and fun, both indoors and outside. The food was incredibly good, and the staff worked really hard to make sure everyone was happy. Priyanka and Silvana did a great job putting everything together. I'd definitely do my wedding here again! I'm telling all my friends they should get married at this beautiful place too.
