A Romantic Summer Wedding at Graydon Hall
Why Couples Love Graydon Hall for Their Wedding
Graydon Hall Manor is a timeless Toronto venue that offers a blend of historic charm and modern elegance. Its manicured gardens, grand architecture, and versatile indoor spaces make it perfect for couples seeking a romantic yet refined wedding. For Rachel and Michael, it was the ideal setting for both a heartfelt ceremony and a relaxed extended cocktail reception.
Ceremony Details
Rachel and Michael exchanged vows in the Manor’s lush garden, surrounded by close family and friends. The soft summer light highlighted the natural beauty of the space, while large romantic floral arrangements complemented the venue’s classic architecture. We loved the use of an asymmetrical arch and long garden box florals as aisle markers. The ceremony was intimate and filled with personal touches and soft live music, creating a warm and memorable experience for everyone in attendance.

Cocktail Reception Elegance
Following the ceremony, guests milled about on Graydon Hall’s elegant grounds and terrace for an extended cocktail reception. The couple opted for a mix of classic and contemporary design elements, including lounge seating, ambient lighting, and seasonal floral arrangements. Signature cocktails were served alongside gourmet hors d’oeuvres, allowing guests to mingle and enjoy the summer evening as upbeat music played.

Rachel and Michael incorporated meaningful details that reflected their personalities. From custom signage to curated floral accents and thoughtfully selected music, every element was designed to create an unforgettable experience.

Our particular favourite detail was Rachel’s custom floral parasol with fresh baby’s breath adorning the rim. What a stylish way to stay out of the sun!
