We had the most stunning outdoor wedding at Hart House. Not only was the venue magical, but it required so little extra decor to make the ceremony absolutely stunning. We added a flower arch at the front of the venue and a few flower arrangements along the aisle and we received compliments from nearly all of our guests about how beautiful everything looked. Hart House was very easy to work with and extremely accommodating. While it is a little pricey to have an outdoor wedding in the Quad, if it fits in your budget, we cannot recommend it enough. Thank you Tara for being a fantastic organizer and support through the process. The water tent and chairs at the back were a fantastic addition that guests really appreciated, and the on-site event staff were very kind and helpful. The space is large enough to accommodate many guests, and the indoor building and surrounding area are stunning for wedding photos. For those who hold their wedding here, please note that parking is challenging and to inform your guests travelling by vehicle well in advance about parking options so they can arrive on time. Thank you again to all those at Hart House who made our wedding so fantastic.

I cannot begin to say enough great things about our wedding at Hart House. Tara and her team made the whole event work seamlessly and so many of our guests commented specifically on how wonderful and accommodating the entire staff team was. The food was excellent and every detail was attended to. The staff team went above and beyond in so many ways. The space is exceptionally beautiful - our pictures in particular in the Music and Debates rooms are stunning. We are SO appreciative to the Hart House team for making planning a wedding during COVID as smooth as possible. This is the place!!

Absolute perfection!! Working with Tara (events coordinator) and her staff at Hart House was a fantastic experience. Our guests fell in love with the Quad, Great Hall, all the unique architecture, and delicious food. It was a whole experience! We chose Hart House because we met as UofT students and wanted the university to be a part of our special day. Whether you are an alumni or new to UofT, Hart House is a truly unique venue and one that will be remembered by your guests forever. Our wedding was postponed 2x due to the COVID pandemic and each change was smooth and we knew we were in good hands with Tara who always replied to emails quickly, was super positive, knowledgeable and takes great care in her work—you won’t find a better venue coordinator! A bonus feature for hosting your event at Hart House is that literally every corner of the space is perfect for photos, whether it’s the grand archways, stone staircases or stained glass windows. If you want a unique experience for you and your guests, Hart House is your place! It’s truly magical!

We got married at Hart House in the Spring of 2019 with 120 guests. We loved the indoor-outdoor space combination that came with renting the Great Hall. Tara was a pleasure to work with; very calm and professional. The contract was straightforward to navigate; no attempts to "up sell" us or sneak in any hidden fees. The dinner was delicious and we loved not having to bring in any vendors for food/drink. We got lots of compliments from guests about the venue, too! Overall, the space is gorgeous, the staff is wonderful, and we had a beautiful, fun, and smooth wedding!

We were so happy to have chosen Hart House for our wedding. Great food, amazing staff and a stunning backdrop. Everything worked out very smoothly and exactly as planned. Tara was fantastic to work with throughout the planning process and did a great job coordinating with our vendors. She is exceptionally organized and made what could have been a stressful day so seamless. Thank you!
