Our Wedding at The Guild Inn estate
We had our wedding at The Guild Inn Estate in April 2019 we are so incredibly happy that we chose this to be our venue! Upon seeing the space, we instantly fell in love! The new renovations are absolutely stunning, sleek and modern – little things like the lights they added in the terrace (its so romantic!), the dividers before entering the banquet halls, the ceremony space! It was so beautiful and beyond everything we ever imagined and more!
Francesca was our event details manager and she was so attentive, prompt, and understanding! We had so many questions (as every couple does) throughout the entire process, and she was always with us every step of the way! Our wedding day, down to every detail, went so smoothly, and Francesca and her team played a huge part in that! (special thanks to Judy who really took care of us on the day of our wedding! You rock Judy!).
Food plays such a huge factor in planning a wedding – and the Guild did NOT disappoint! We had so many compliments on the food – how the hors d’oeuvres were continuous and flowing throughout cocktail hour, and the very generous portions of all the food during dinner, everyone kept commenting how delicious it all ways and how prompt their staff and services were!
We also had an open bar, and Tom, our bar tender, was amazing! Our guests were verrrry thirsty that night and was amazing at taking care of our guests!
Overall, we are so happy to have had our wedding here! We grew up very close to the Guild and would visit the gardens regularly. To have had our wedding here was a dream come true, and we will never forget it! Thank you so much to everyone at The Guild for making our wedding day so special! You guys are amazing!

Phenomenal Venue!
I'm not even sure where to begin with my experience with the Guild Inn. We booked our April 2019 wedding in August 2017, and from the day we booked, the Guild was nothing short of spectacular. From the first meeting with Chantal, to all the contact with our Event Details Manager, Francesca, every single contact with the Guild was amazing. Francesca was an absolute DREAM to work with and was always around to answer my (sometimes crazy) questions, and always willing to go above and beyond to make sure we were happy. I didn't think our experience could get any better until the night of our rehearsal dinner at the Guild's Bickford Bistro, when we met our team leaders for our wedding day, Judy and Denise. Both of these fabulous ladies were so friendly and helpful and made sure we were happy the whole night of our rehearsal and our wedding. Judy and Denise went above and beyond multiple times on our wedding day and the day was absolutely incredible and went off without a hitch! Our vision came to life and the day was absolutely perfect. My husband and I felt like royalty the whole time! We can't thank the staff at the guild enough for making our wedding day a dream come true!
The next best thing about this venue, next to the staff and gorgeous grounds, was the food. Everyone was (still is) raving about the food at our wedding. Not only is the food delicious, but you get SO much.
We were truly so incredibly happy with every aspect of our experience at the Guild. The best decision we made during this whole process was deciding to get married here!

Amazing venue
The Guild Inn Estate
On April 12 we were married at the Guild Inn and it was absolutely amazing. The food was fantastic. Surpassed everyone's expectations. Judy was amazing the day of the wedding. She was extremely kind and professional. Throughout the entire planning process, everyone we had contact with was very helpful. Francesca was always there to answer the countless questions and address our changes and concerns promptly. The venue itself was beautiful and everything we dreamed of. Very well kept. Everything was set up perfectly and the entire team exceeded our expectations. This place went above and beyond for us and we are eternally greatful with how perfect everything went.

A Pleasant Surprise!
I wanted to put on a surprise party for my wife's 60th birthday and to celebrate her retirement. I looked all over the city for a venue that could accommodate 60 people, be elegant enough to honour the event and still be cost efficient while providing an abundance of tasty food.
Thankfully I landed on the Bickford Bistro at the Guildwood Estate. All went off flawlessly. Seriously, everything was perfect! My wife was totally surprised, the food was great, everyone loved the venue and staff, it couldn’t have been better!
Cassandra and Shelly helped calm my nerves, were clear about costs and services and ensured that everything went off without a hitch.
Honestly, if you're looking for a venue to make your occasion a real success, don't hesitate to book the Guildwood. They'll make your day everything you're hoping it will be!
