Pantages Hotel Downtown Toronto

At the Pantages Hotel, a wedding feels like a city celebration, with downtown Toronto glowing outside the windows of a ballroom set high above the street.

The boutique hotel stands in the heart of downtown, close to the theatres, shops and squares that make this part of the city so lively for guests coming in for the weekend.

Events take place on the hotel's third floor, where every room sits together on one level. That makes it easy to move from a ceremony to cocktails to dinner without guests ever leaving the floor.

The Rehearsal Ballroom is the largest room, at close to 3,500 square feet, with sweeping city views and a celebrated historic concert hall just outside. It seats up to 216 guests for dinner and welcomes up to 250 for a standing reception.

Smaller rooms on the same floor suit an intimate ceremony, a cocktail hour or a rehearsal dinner. Several can be combined to seat up to 144 guests, and the Drama Rooms work well for smaller gatherings.

The hotel's culinary team builds the menu around each couple, with dietary needs taken into account. Stages Restaurant sits on the lobby level, and guestrooms upstairs mean family and friends can stay right where the party happens.

The events team helps plan the whole weekend, from the rehearsal dinner through to a brunch the morning after.

For couples who picture a modern celebration with city lights all around and their guests just an elevator ride from bed, the Pantages Hotel offers a downtown wedding that keeps everything under one roof.
