Paris Paris

At Paris Paris, a wedding unfolds in a sunlit former auto garage on Toronto's Ossington strip, where a bright, warm afternoon turns into a glowing, atmospheric night.

The restaurant sits in the middle of Ossington Avenue, a street Time Out Magazine has named among the coolest in the world, lined with cafes, vintage shops, live music and some of the city's best places to eat.

Inside, the dining room is open and airy, with warm wood, tropical plants and plenty of natural light. After dark the mood shifts under neon lights, setting a livelier tone for dancing.

The main room seats up to 120 guests for dinner, or up to 185 for a standing reception. When the weather cooperates, it opens straight onto a spacious open-air patio facing the street. Couples can book part of the space or the whole restaurant, which includes three private dining rooms.

The kitchen serves seasonal, bistro-inspired cooking with international influences, and couples build their wedding menu with the events team from what is in season at the time. Custom cocktails and a wine list chosen with the help of the wine director round out the bar.

An in-house events team guides each celebration with a one-on-one consultation and help finding vendors, and servers and bartenders are part of every booking.

For couples who picture a stylish city celebration that moves from a bright dinner to a late night on the dance floor, Paris Paris offers a wedding with true west end energy.
