Supportive team with attention to great service!

The Guild Inn Estate is a classic Toronto venue, so naturally we had to look into it for our wedding. Most other venues couldn’t meet all our criteria for a small wedding, but the Bickford room was a perfect fit! The outdoor terrace and the park at your footstep is a great perk! We started strong with a tour with Shelley, and she covered everything from the menu, to rentals, to outdoor photo permits, as well as cost details. It made us feel comfortable right off the bat!

Once we settled on a menu and ceremony options, we signed a contract, paid our deposit and were assigned an Event Details Manager – Priyanka. Priyanka was a delight! She walked us through all the steps, answered all our questions, and was an integral part of the planning process. Priyanka and her team were professional, flexible and prompt to make tweaks and adjustments to our menu and event details. She double checked everything and made sure to confirm things that were not super clear. We really appreciated the attention to detail.

On the day of the event, Silvana (the Banquet Manager) and her team supported us with all our needs. They were incredibly polite and accommodating to our guests and attentive to everyone’s needs. The food was delicious, fresh and generously portioned! The staff members were respectful, attentive and took very good care of our guests. We didn't really know what we were expecting, but I can surely say the bar has been set high. I highly recommend the staff, and the facilities at the Guild Inn!

Thank you, Guild Inn Staff!

On Sunday March 9th, we had my daughter’s bridal shower at the Guild Inn Estate, in the Bickford room. The food was delicious! Our guests had many compliments about their meals.
The service was fantastic! Judy, Silvana and Beth made sure we and all our guests were well taken care of. The whole process of planning this bridal shower from start to finish has been a positive experience thanks to the planning with Shelly before the shower and the attention to detail from the rest of the staff on the day of the shower
A wonderful afternoon was had by all. We are looking forward to the wedding! Thank you to the Guild Inn Staff.

1000% Would Recommend

We just had our wedding at The Guild (Bickford House) last week, and it was everything we could have ever imagined. From our initial visits and conversations to the final cleanup and heading home, the entire team was incredibly supportive.

Rebecca, our sales manager (and also our details manager!), was our lucky charm. She was a steady, kind, and calming presence throughout the entire planning process—always responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in helping us create the day we had always imagined. From the very beginning, we knew we were in good hands. While the tent outside the Bickford House was definitely a big draw when we were venue shopping, it was truly Rebecca’s warmth and energy that made us feel confident we had found the perfect place.

Silvana, our banquet manager, and her team were equally wonderful. Her calm and collected presence made the hours leading up to the event feel smooth and stress-free—everything ran perfectly, if not better than planned. During the celebration, her staff made sure we were well taken care of (at one point, they were literally following me around with food to make sure I ate!). Our personal server, Avi, was always attentive and helpful, and he never stopped smiling. Our guests haven’t stopped raving about the incredible service, the warmth of the staff, and—of course—the incredible and bountiful food prepared by the Guild.

We also opted to have our ceremony at the Gazebo, which allowed for a natural and easy flow into the rest of the day’s events. With all the natural light and surrounding greenery, the space felt magical—our guests and photographers absolutely loved it.

Without a doubt, I would recommend the Guild Inn to anyone planning a wedding or special event. We chose the Bickford House for our smaller guest count (~40 people), and it was the perfect choice—cozy, intimate, and still spacious enough for everyone to dance the night away. Our guests haven’t stopped talking about how beautiful the day was, and of course, the incredible and bountiful food prepared by the Guild’s team. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better day.

Great experience

We had our wedding here and we cannot speak highly enough about the venue and staff. It’s a beautifully kept facility with a scenic park in the background with many photo opportunities. The staff were responsive, helpful, and supportive throughout the whole process. Even on the day-of, the Guild Inn Team were so timely, professional and fantastic, making the day run so smoothly! Our guests had such a great experience too. We have nothing but positive feedback for the team!

Bridal Shower

My sister and I hosted a Bridal Shower for my niece last sunday and we chose the Guild Inn Estate, and The Bickford Room, because of it’s stunning setting, inside and out! Maybe a little but of nostalgia as well! Every thing was outstanding from the planning, to the actual event. Rebecca was fantastic in helping us organize the shower, she was professional, knowledgable and so accommodating with all our requests, including inviting more guests than originally planned, and food allergies and dietary restrictions for many of our guests, but especially the bride to be as she has nut allergies, so Rebecca made sure all the food, especially the desserts were nut free! She made all the planning so easy and non stressful!
Judy and the staff on the day were amazing as well, friendly, helpful, very attentive, she checked in often if anything needed. I was so impressed that someone was at the door greeting our guests and opening the door for them, nice touch! The food was delicious, every one commented, and plentiful and there was something for everyone, and their was a wide variety of desserts as well!! The whole experience was outstanding, and we lucked out on a sunny, beautiful day so we could look out the beautiful grounds there.
If you are looking for a venue for a wedding, shower, etc…definitely go the Guild Inn, you will not be disappointed!
Thank you to all the staff at The Guild Inn Estate for making this special day that much more special!!

Fantastic Wedding Venue

We recently hosted our wedding at Guild Inn and everything was just perfect! Natalie (our Details Manager) and Silvana (our banquet manager) both went out of their ways to make our day extra special. The venue itself was gorgeous, with a lot of our guests complimenting the park, the gazebo and the hall. The food was incredible and the service was impeccable, timely and highly catered to ourselves and our guests.
I would absolutely recommend booking here for both small or large weddings if you're looking for a great venue with stunning garden views!

Dream Wedding!

We had our wedding back in November 2024 at The Guild Inn and we are so happy we did! The venue is gorgeous and was everything we had wanted. We had the pleasure to work with Natalie and she was so helpful throughout the entire process. She was always available and responded quickly to all our inquiries. Her involvement and knowledge made planning a big day so much easier and less stressful. Our banquet manager Judy was so awesome as well! We couldn’t be happier to have signed with Guild Inn. Our guests all spoke about how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was! Highly recommend this venue and their staff!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
