    My husband and I could not have chosen a better venue to host our wedding in November 2021. The staff delivered first class service from start to finish. Our expectations were exceeded in every way. A heartfelt thank you to Nicole and her team for exceptional service and expertise. You made our day shine!

    One of the better venues in the city! Beautiful spots for photos outside and inside. The servers are fast, kind and very helpful. The food here is phenomenal, you can tell they have a great chef. Despite having to make an immense amount of food the quality is top notch compared to other venues/banquet halls. One thing to note is parking isn't free and you have to watch your step coming in the front as the floor is uneven and I witnessed many people tripping.

    As a wedding photographer, I’ve seen my fair share of places, but Graydon Hall is in a league of its own. The Manor is like you’re stepping into an elegant, classic estate – perfect for those who love a mix of luxury, sophistication and historical charm. The architecture is a photographer’s dream: grand staircases, intricate details, and rooms that ooze class. It’s the ideal backdrop for those timeless wedding shots. The outdoor terrace and gardens are something else. Picture immaculate lawns, vibrant flower beds, and a sense of tranquility that’s hard to find in the city. These spaces are not just beautiful but versatile, perfect for ceremonies or just mingling during cocktail hour. And let me tell you, the photos we get here? Absolutely stunning. Finally, the natural light at Graydon Hall is phenomenal, especially in the late afternoon. The way the light filters through the trees and illuminates the manor creates a soft, almost ethereal glow. It's perfect for capturing those magical moments and adds a whole new dimension to your wedding photos. If you're in Toronto and aiming for a wedding that’s a cut above, you've got to check out Graydon Hall. Trust me; you wont regret it! I hope this helps! If you like my photos or have any questions, send me an email through my website or IG and I'll be happy to help! Mark Barski - EightTwoFour Wedding Photography www.EightTwoFour.ca IG: Eight.Two.Four

    Graydon Hall Manor is a stunning wedding venue in Toronto. I'm a wedding photographer, and I'm always thrilled when I photograph a wedding here. Everything is always well organized. The staff is very lovely and professional at the same time. Monika @everglow_photography_

    Oh my gosh, where do I start? My husband and I got married here last summer, and even to this day we can vividly remember how stunning and magical this venue was. Our coordinator was Marisa (extremely kind, patient, considerate, professional—so many positives!), and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She guided us each step of the way and made sure that everything stayed on track. We’re quite indecisive and had trouble deciding what we wanted, but Marisa accommodated any changes and provided suggestions to help us solidify our vision. Whether it be for the gorgeous gardens, the historical manor, or even just the food—you can’t go wrong! We still hear compliments (especially for the food) a year later. Thank you again for the wonderful experience, we definitely look forward to attending or hosting another event here in the future!

    Our experience with Graydon Hall was perfect. Literally perfect. Lucy helped co-ordinate the most incredibly breathtaking wedding we could have ever hoped for. The venue itself is stunning. Gardens, fountains, chandeliers, stone terraces - it truly is a fairytale. Our guests were taken aback by the beauty of this manor. The food was 10/10! From beginning to end, we heard nothing but compliments from our friends and family. And the team at Graydon Hall was calming, caring and so much fun to work with from the moment we walked in the door. An absolute dream team with detailed logistics, amazing organization & most importantly - genuine care for their brides, grooms & their loved ones. We can’t recommend Graydon Hall enough. Lucy & team- thank you for making our wedding day so special!

    The venue is beautiful and my wedding day was perfect but the experience of planning with Graydon Hall was terrible. The way I was treated gave me the impression that GHM does not take your wedding seriously and does not value you as a customer/bride. I had questions about logistics and had to continuously follow up in email, left messages, and call to get a response. The responses were always short and missing information. I was eventually told that any questions I had could wait until we were within the 6months before my wedding date as they focus on the weddings the have in the immediate future. I do think this is fair but would have appreciated them telling me this upfront vs. ignoring me so I could adjust my expectations. However, when they wanted payment they called me several times a day and emailed me with the expectation I drop off a cheque the day they provided the final estimate. It’s unfortunate that when you need support, they take their time getting back to you, but when they need something they find the time to email and call. I didn’t feel valued as a customers/bride and it left the impression that they only see your wedding day as a pay cheque/transaction. The Canopy is ~$16,400. GHM told me that if the wedding the night before or night after books the canopy as well then we could split the cost. This is not true. GHM charged each bride/wedding 60% of the total cost, which is not a split. Essentially with both weddings paying that, you end up paying 120% of the total cost. What is that extras $3200 for? I was originally told it was to get the canopy ready/reset between weddings and when I asked Nicole the director/owner what went into getting the tent ready - she told me it was none of my business and I had to just wrap my head around the price. I never said I wasn’t going to pay the increased/hidden fee, I was just wondering what I was paying for with the extra 20% - which I think is a fair question. This lacks transparency and leaves me with the understanding that GHM would just like you to pay $3200 additional for an unknown “cost”. Also two weeks before my wedding they told me that the bride the night before needed to add a secondary overflow canopy & if I didn’t want it on my wedding day then I had to pay $1200 to have it removed. In my opinion the secondary tent obstructs the view and just looks awkward/random on the grass if you’re not using it. I had to really fight and argue that it was unfair to expect me to pay for something from a different wedding that I didn’t ask for or want for mine. I would assume the wedding the night before would have already paid the set up and take down fee for the second tent they requested. Graydon Hall made every step of planning feel like a fight/money grab. It was really unpleasant. We have a contact at Event Rental Group who offered us a discount as long as it was ok with GHM. I asked, they said no, and when I asked why, GHM told me it’s because “we want to make money off you”. I appreciate GHM is a business, but there are more tactful ways to communicate. My wedding day was very good, everything ran smoothly and the food was 10/10, service was 10/10 & the bar service was 10/10. I really debated on leaving a review because I did have a perfect wedding day, but I ultimately hope this gives other brides the heads-up on what they’re in for when booking here. With all of these issues I had, I connected with Nicole the director/owner of Graydon Hall to express my frustration & I was met with aggression, defensiveness & a lack of professionalism. I have never been spoken to so rudely. When I got off the phone with her, I was in tears. If you do have your wedding here, my best advice is to get everything in writing because the price or policy was never what was promised. I understand GHM is a business, so no issues with paying for the things I ask for, but I do expect transparency around what I’m paying for and to be treated with professionalism.

    Our wedding at Graydon Hall was nothing short of spectacular. From the first time I got in touch with Marisa to the day of, everything was very smooth and professional. We had a lovely time at our tasting, and the food on the day of was exactly as promised. I would say that it was a little bit disappointing that prices did increase significantly from when we booked to when we had to pay, and having so many options for customization of our menu was a little bit overwhelming at times. In the end, you can tell that the staff at Graydon Hall are experts at what they do and we were not worried at all regarding the itinerary for the day, or if our vendors would work seamlessly together. Everything was a total breeze! Thank you so much.

    From start to finish, the team at Graydon Hall went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly magical. First and foremost, we want to express our deepest gratitude to Shannon, our incredible wedding coordinator. Shannon's communication skills were nothing short of amazing. She guided us through every step of the process with a level of professionalism that immediately put us at ease. Shannon not only listened attentively to our vision but also provided valuable insights and recommendations. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and we felt like we were in the hands of someone who genuinely cared about making our day perfect. One of the highlights of our experience was Shannon's recommendations for vendors. She connected us with some of the finest professionals in the industry, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding exceeded our expectations. The collaborative decisions made during the rehearsal showcased the seamless coordination among the entire team, resulting in a flawlessly executed ceremony and reception. The food at Graydon Hall Manor deserves special mention. It was an absolute delight, and our guests are still raving about everything but especially the bread! The culinary team at Graydon Hall Manor truly knows how to elevate the dining experience for a wedding celebration. What truly set Graydon Hall Manor apart for us was the personalized attention we received. Despite being a popular venue, we felt like the only couple getting married there this year. The intimate atmosphere created by the staff made our day feel incredibly special and unique. In conclusion, our wedding day at Graydon Hall Manor was a dream come true, thanks to the exceptional team led by Shannon. We will forever cherish the memories created at this stunning venue, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to any couple seeking a truly magical and memorable wedding experience. Thank you, Graydon Hall Manor, for making our day unforgettable.

    We've done a few events at Graydon Hall Manor and always had such an amazing experience from a planner side of things and for our clients. The staff at this venue ALWAYS go above and beyond to ensure the celebration is absolutely perfect. This past September we worked closely with Kim and she made sure the wedding went off without a hitch! Thank you from all of us at Claudia and Co. Hoping we work together again soon!

    Graydon Hall was the perfect venue for our wedding. We were married in May 2019 with about 200 guests, and the day was absolutely perfect. Thanks to Marissa and her team the day ran so smoothly - not one issue came up. The venue was such a beautiful backdrop that we hardly needed any decorations, and the fact that they do almost everything in house (source furniture, catering, drinks) made planning so easy. Our guests were blown away at the venue, the service and THE FOOD! Best in the city.

    Shoutout to Shannon for all her diligent work on our wedding! Not only is the venue gorgeous but the food and drinks were phenomenal. Our guests still can't stop talking about how delicious the food was and I think this is rare for big scale events and weddings.

    Our experience was worse with them. They ruined our big day!! We got married in 2020. That dah it was raining and their electricity went off. The had NO GENERATOR so no lights there were throughout my wedding. The pictures come dark and Thankfully we had our candles which saved us bit. But we are really disappointed. No support system. The fountain at the back was not working either so the pictures were not as we thought it would be. At the end they were trying to kick us out. I would not recommend this hall to anyone.Horrible customer service!!!!

    A beautiful and cozy venue for a small wedding. The servers are very professional and friendly as well. Too bad it isn't open to the public on a normal day; otherwise, it would be great to enjoy a meal or afternoon tea on the premises.

    Attended my cousin’s wedding. Staff there are heartless. They don’t know problem solving, we just requested for one chair in a table for my son they refused. They don’t even show empathy. You would only pay for the place but hell no for the staff so rude.Especially “Kim” though we explained to her, she won’t bother helping you out. Trust me. Totally ripped off.

    I had my wedding at Graydon Hall Manor in July 2022 and I can't say enough good things about this wedding venue. The wedding venue itself is gorgeous and the food is amazing, but what set this venue apart for us was the customer service from the planning team. Planning a wedding can be stressful and expensive, and the team at Graydon were very organized and professional. They were prompt at responding to emails (no matter how many were sent!) and answered all questions thoroughly. Marisa was our planner and she was great! I had a great time planning my wedding and the team at Graydon made the experience so much less stressful than it could have been! Thank you Graydon Hall!

    I photographed Kris & Aaron's wedding day here this past summer. I highly recommend it, the staff were very helpful, communicative, and wonderful to work with. The venue is a beautifully kept space, with so many amazing areas for photos. From the outdoor garden to the indoor staircase, you really can't go wrong with this venue for wedding portraits! :) I can't wait to come back to photograph another wedding! ig lovingcorephoto.

    We always love working on weddings at this venue. They are one of a kind in this city! Doesn’t feel like it’s anywhere near the city, let alone right in it! Staff are always extremely accommodating and helpful and they make sure vendors are treated well and with respect. A favourite of ours to work at!

    Beautiful building overall!!! Attended a wedding there and everything about the building was historical!! Would've been a 5 out of 5 if the wedding took place during the warmer months. My only negative was on the main floor after the ceremony was a bit too dark.

    I am a wedding planner and recently had a very logistical wedding at Graydon Hall Manor that turned out to be better than myself or my clients could ever have imagined and this was all because of Lucy Dugalic’s assistance in making sure that my couple was happy and everything went smoothly. It is evident she loves what she does and I think anyone planning a wedding can benefit from having a Lucy! 🫶

    I attended a wedding at Graydon Hall Manor on Saturday night. The ambience of the facility was wonderful. The meal was excellent and the staff were perfect. Every member of their team was polite, professional and very attentive. The young lady that was the wedding planner could not have been nicer. Although the weather was not great the evening was perfect.

  • 4/5 Lucy N. 1 year ago on Google
    Location: I attended a wedding here. It is located in the GTA and near transit. It is an accessible place to get to. Plently of parking and it was a beautiful Manor. The garden was easily the best part of the place. Landscaping was great. Inside were various rooms, which was great. The details on the wall, old vintage pieces, and history makes it a gem! Service: The staff were great! From the bar to the servers. I appreciated them doubl3 checking and giving options to replace meals. Overall, would recommend for a wedding venue if your party is small. 80 people or less is ideal.

    Beautiful well maintained venue. From the moment you enter you can see the amount of work that has been put in to preserve this property! Truly loved the spot and will definitely love to come back and spend more time 👏🏼

  • 1/5 Priyesh Y. 8 months ago on Google
    Initially, we were so excited at the thought of having our wedding at Graydon Hall. We called a few times and no one contacted us despite leaving a few voicemails. We finally were able to get ahold of Josh who helped us start the process. He gave dates/ times to set up a tour. We sent a day/time and he never responded. When we emailed him the day before to confirm, he told us the time was no longer available. We worked around that and a family member went on our behalf. We emailed him to let us know we wished to proceed with the venue and requested a contract to book july 7th of next year. He didnt initally respond, and when he did he apologized and said he was working on it and they were busy. We provided further info to draw up the contract…and again no response. When we finally got the contract, we noticed that the date was incorrect. We requested him to resend with the original date we had requested. Again, no response until my fiance finally called him. She was told that the delay was that one of his colleagues had just sent a contract to another couple for that day so it was unavailable. He said that the date on the contract was on hold for us and if the contract fell through we would be the first to know. Very frustrating this was not communicated to us openly. We have been reaching out for over a month now, and every time it took 3 emails and a phone call in order to get a response back. We have wasted our time and resources on this venue and have nothing to show for it. Unprofessional for a wedding venue of this caliber.

    We can't say enough about Graydon Hall Manor! Their staff are courteous, efficient, and so accommodating to vendors. Our photobooth always receives rave reviews when we set up here, thanks to our services and their amazing atmosphere. Just check out some of the photos we have captured there!

    It's an experience, place is not setup for a large gathering. Food was exquisite, staff excellent. 4 stars due to facilities not up to expectations.. At least have fans in the open air tent/dining area of to deal with hot humid evenings! All in all a top notch experience apart from above

    Graydon Hall Manor was the perfect choice for our wedding day. The staff, venue itself, and the food were an absolute dream. So many of my guests had told me it was the most beautiful wedding they've ever been to. Despite the pandemic, Ashley was so attentive and accommodating to all of our needs, and was an amazing day of coordinator for us, making everything run perfectly and smoothly. Thank you GHM for giving us our perfect wedding.
