La Luce Ristorante

At La Luce Ristorante, a wedding feels like a long Italian family dinner, with fresh pasta on the table, wine poured for every course and loved ones gathered close.

This Italian restaurant, built on family recipes, on the North York and Vaughan border has been cooking since 1976. Sauces are made daily in its own kitchen, and the menu leans on seafood and a wide range of housemade pasta.

For wedding receptions, the main Dining Room is made for larger gatherings with space to move around. La Saletta, a smaller private room, suits rehearsal dinners, showers and intimate toasts.

The restaurant can seat up to 90 guests for a lunch, brunch or dinner and welcome up to 130 for a standing cocktail reception. Events can start from noon and typically run four hours.

Menus are set in advance with the event coordinator and follow the seasons, with options that can be mixed between menus. Custom bar offerings and an open bar can be arranged, and white linens, service staff, tables, chairs, flatware and glassware are included.

A house sound system and microphone are available, couples can bring in their own DJ, and space can be cleared for dancing depending on the guest count. Couples may bring their own cake, which the team will set out on a sweet table.

The restaurant is easy to reach from Highways 400, 401 and 407, with plenty of free parking and wheelchair access.

For couples who picture an intimate reception built around authentic Italian food and warm hospitality, La Luce Ristorante offers a wedding that tastes like a family tradition.
