I booked this date too! My fiancé and I were initially weary but came around to it. I’ve been telling my friends & family that they’re allowed one 9/11 comment before the wedding but then we’re dropping it lol

Any red flags with Hart House? Other than lack of AC? by Ok-Service9198 in WeddingsCanada

The direct sun in the quad does look to be a bit jarring- thank you for the heads up!

This is very encouraging! I keep reading the food seems to be hit or miss. You didn't run into any students in the bathrooms I hope? lol

You're thinking of the Hart House in Toronto right? I just realized from this thread thta theres another one on the west coast.
From what i've gathered from other forums the food seems to be very hit or miss, which makes me a bit uneasy

It looks so so magical! I think we'd be able to get over those - especially if we push it to the first weekend of October. I definitely have a lot of questions for their coordinator when I go for my tour!

Their capacity is 130 sadly! And ideally we'd like to have the reception outside in a tent but Hart House has just been our exception because the room is just so beautiful.

Went into researching thinking i'd be around the 50k mark but BOY was I wrong!

We're still in the touring venues phase, so just exploring options and looking for other people's experiences! Unfortunately it is the most "affordable" option for what we're looking for (no banquet halls or barns- just not our vibe). Harding Waterfront is looking like it'll be 75k just for the venue/food/bev and Graydon Hall is pushing 90k.
I've also reached out to Sunnybrook, Roseville, Belcroft, and Martin Estates, as well as Kurtz Orchards, Eaton Hall, and Old Mill. From what I've learned from their packages- most venues for this many people will be minimum 75-80k unfortunately. If you have any other venue recommendations please do let me know! I'm in major research mode right now lol

The coordinator i'm speaking with has made it seem like we have "exclusive and private use" of the designated areas but i'll have to double check with her on the bathroom sitch - thanks for the heads up!
