A full-service, historic venue with more than a dozen unique spaces including a stunning outdoor quadrangle, 425-guest Great Hall, stained glass window chapel and a 430-seat theatre. Featuring vaulted ceilings, travertine and marble floors, oak timbers, hand-crafted stonework and ornate ceilings and corbels, Hart House is an architectural marvel. Centrally located on the downtown campus of the University of Toronto, this 100-year-old building has hosted royalty, heads of state, celebrity galas, conferences, performances, receptions and some of the most romantic and elegant weddings in Toronto. A favourite of wedding photographers, Hart House serves as the backdrop for engagement parties and weddings year-round. Winter weddings with a walk down a pristine snow-covered aisle followed by a reception by a roaring fire. Summer weddings when the garden is in full bloom. Even rain-drenched weddings take on a magical quality at Hart House. More than a venue, Hart House also boasts a full-service culinary experience. A Red Seal Certified chef, Marco Tucci is a master of his craft, taking an elegant yet novel approach to every dish.

If you’re looking for a wedding venue filled with elegance, quality, and timelessness, Hart House is a stellar choice. We are so thankful to the Hart House team (and especially Tara Munro) for bringing our wedding to life. Initially booking Hart House in 2019 for a summer 2020 wedding, the COVID-19 pandemic introduced an unexpected challenge to the patience, flexibility, and compromise required to plan (and replan) a wedding day. Tara and the Hart House team were professional and supportive throughout this process. From budgeting to scheduling, their vast experience made it easy to imagine how our wedding vision and expectations could be fulfilled to the maximum-level quality and enjoyment. Hart House has many options for big to small weddings and everything in between, with a gorgeous gothic/academic architectural atmosphere. We had a phenomenal wedding day filled with love, light, and memories that made every planning moment beforehand worthwhile.

We are so happy with our experience at Hart House for our wedding ceremony and reception! Tara was always so responsive, organized and thoughtful and we always felt that we were in amazing hands with her and her team. The ceremony and reception space was absolutely beautiful and Tara and her team ensured that everything ran smoothly on the day. Thank you so much to Tara and all of the Hart House staff for their hard work and dedication in making our wedding day so special!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Hart House and couldn't rave more about how wonderful everything was. The venue is stunning, the food incredible, everyone in Tara's staff was great to work with, and it was great value when compared with other venues on a similar level. The one issue we had was around the communication regarding the extent of construction, but Tara handled this extremely professionally when it came-up, and the day ended-up being everything we had hoped for. Also definitely try to get Stuart to ordain. Would highly recommend!!

We fell in love with HH when we visited in 2019, while looking for wedding venues. The HH team was absolutely spectacular through the pandemic delays that then ensued. Not only were they incredibly supportive through the process, they regularly made themselves available for questions, provided advice, and support leading up to our wedding day (finally!). Everything came together beautifully, and we and our guests all had a wonderful time thanks to the level of care and high quality service provided by Tara and her HH team. We'd strongly recommend them, without hesitation, to any one!
