Tapagria

A wedding reception at Tapagria in Markham feels like a lively evening in southern Spain, with paella, tapas and sangria shared around the table.

This upscale Spanish restaurant in Commerce Valley has a stylish, industrial-chic dining room, and for weddings the team suggests reserving the whole restaurant so the evening belongs entirely to the couple and their guests.

A full buyout seats 160 guests or welcomes 180 for a standing reception.

For a more intimate gathering, the Grand Alhambra private room takes its design cues from the Alhambra Palace in Granada and seats 38 or holds 50 standing. It has two mirrored screens for slideshows or speeches.

Couples can choose a full sit-down dinner with several courses and menu options, or a standing reception with passed canapés and cocktails. Menus and drinks are customized for each event, with optional wine pairings.

For couples who picture a warm, festive night of Spanish food, wine and conversation, Tapagria offers a reception with real flavour and flair.
