The Toronto Botanical Gardens are a scenic and accessible location for your Toronto wedding. Fully renovated in 2005, the Gardens pride themselves on being a “green” venue that’s also a good bang for your buck. It’s also a great spot i
f you want to have your ceremony and reception in the same place.
The Botanical Gardens offer a number of rental spaces but for most weddings, you’ll want to book either the Floral Hall (seats 200 with room for
a dance floor) or the Garden Hall (seats 80 with room for a dance floor). The attractive Westview Terrace can be rented with the Garden Hall while the Floral Hall comes with its own outdoor space. The lobby can also be rented with either space.
Pros
- Great setting that is sure to be remembered by your guests
- A choice of seven caterers
- You can bring your own alcohol and there’s no corkage fee
- A “green” venue
- Space is quite flexible
- Comes with tables and chairs
- Both outdoor spaces include water features
- Basic on-site lighting and sound system
- Decent washrooms
- Plenty of free parking
- Air-conditioned
Cons
- My biggest issue with both the Floral Hall and the Garden Hall is that while the outdoor spaces are great, the indoor spaces would require draping and tons of flowers/candles/whatever to look great- It's not really that cheap; the Garden Hall will run you $3000 for a Saturday night
- No real bridal room though you can use one of the smaller meeting rooms to change in
- Will host up to two events though depending on what spaces you rent, you may never see the other party
- Choice of seven caterers; all the choice can be a bit overwhelming
- While this is great place to do photos, you’ll need to get a permit
