Shangri-La Hotel, Toronto

At Shangri-La Hotel, Toronto, couples exchange vows in a bright, soaring room full of sunlight and chandeliers, high above the city on University Avenue.

The hotel offers eight event spaces for weddings, including an outdoor terrace, so a celebration can be an intimate evening or a full day affair.

Ceremonies take place in the Museum Room, where windows rise from floor to ceiling to meet a 24 foot ceiling and 13 glass chandeliers catch the daylight. Guests look out over the city while the couple says their vows.

Larger receptions move into the Queen's Park Ballroom, a wood panelled room for up to 350 guests. For cocktails, the outdoor garden terrace gives guests a quiet escape with views across downtown Toronto.

The culinary team builds menus around fine local ingredients. Wedding packages include passed canapes, a plated dinner of three or four courses, a host bar for seven hours, a menu tasting, printed menus, and tables dressed with linens, chargers, china and glassware. Higher packages add late night canapes and food stations.

Packages also include an overnight stay in a one bedroom suite on the wedding night, and some add a getting ready experience with prosecco for up to ten guests and a suite stay for the first anniversary.

For couples who picture a polished city wedding with chandeliers, skyline views and a suite waiting upstairs, Shangri-La Hotel, Toronto offers a celebration that feels luxurious from the first toast to the morning after.
