10 Beautiful Outdoor Wedding Venues in the GTA
Weddings come in all different shapes, sizes, colours and settings, and each one is uniquely beautiful. We think outdoor weddings are especially charming with the beautiful greenery, expansive views and fresh air they can offer. An outdoor wedding can cater to all sorts of different styles and tastes: you can go for the rustic charm, garden wedding, or a polished contemporary setting. The generous selection of beautiful venues- many of which are historical sites- in the GTA offer versatile grounds and gardens for a variety of weddings. Our job is to inject luxurious design into each venue to personalize it to your story!
Below are 10 of our favourite locations in the GTA with beautiful outdoor locations and facilities for a wedding.
