One of the wonderful things about weddings is that they can be completely tailored to you. Many people love grand celebrations with hundreds of guests, but if that’s not your speed, there’s no need to worry—you can still hold a stunning ceremony and reception for a smaller crowd, made all the more intimate by its cozy, elegant ambience.
When it comes to the best places and ideas for small weddings, we consider ourselves experts! We’re highlighting just a few of our favourite micro wedding venues in Ontario; our wedding planners would be delighted to discuss even more options with you!
Best Micro Wedding Venues
Vintner’s Cellar
For couples who appreciate fine wine, a wedding celebration in a wine cellar is a dream come true. Nestled below ground at Inn On The Twenty Restaurant, this century-old wine cellar combines historic charm and intimate elegance creating an atmospheric setting that transforms any celebration into an unforgettable experience. With a capacity to host up to 60 guests, Vintner’s Cellar is perfect for those seeking a more personal and close-knit wedding reception.
The Gardens at Pillar and Post
Lush greenery, picturesque water features, and fresh, seasonal blooms make The Gardens at Pillar and Post a gorgeous venue for your small garden wedding. Our rustically beautiful Barn, made from reclaimed wood from barns around Ontario, provides the perfect romantic atmosphere for the intimate reception you’ve always wanted, hosting up to 74 of your nearest and dearest.
When it’s time for photos, step into our French-inspired garden and use beautiful features like the waterfall, Japanese bridge, and the Promenade as a stunning background to the best day of your life.
