Chris & Jill Say “I Do”

Posted on January 4, 2018 by admin

On first meeting Chris and Jill, you could tell they were made for each other. Their intimate wedding on Sunday, November 5, 2017 truly represented this couple’s style and spirit through and through.

Their outdoor ceremony had a last minute change of plans due to the weather but they found the Drawing Room a perfect match for what they were envisioning. As the flowers were laid on the mantel and the room was cleansed with some herbs, Chris and Jill were ready to say “I Do”.

After the ceremony on the third-floor of The Great Hall, guests swiftly moved to the second floor to enjoy premium cocktails, dinner by Northern Maverick and dancing surrounded by Addison’s vintage decor Chris and Jill handpicked for their special day. Scarlet O’Neill captured intimate moments while the Conversation Room was their sanctuary for the rest of the evening.

Chris and Jill, The Great Hall raises its glass to you!

Weddings: Corynn Fowler Photography Styled Shoot, Conversation Room

Posted on February 1, 2017April 13, 2017 by admin

At The Great Hall, we are fortunate to host both many weddings and celebrations, and, also, a growing number of engagement, wedding and wedding fashion and industry photo shoots. Recently, we welcomed Corynn Fowler Photography, a wedding, engagement and lifestyle photographer based in Toronto and Collingwood, to our Conversation Room, for a styled shoot with her friend Amy from Bridal Hair Collective.

Here’s some of what Corynn had to say about that shoot day:
“We were working at The Great Hall, one of Toronto’s stunning new venues this season. It has just been renovated and re-opened as a beautiful, classic old Queen St. West building, with an elegant and minimalist vibe inside the airy white rooms. It has tall windows and even taller ceilings, as well as a spectacular old stage theater complete with balconies and velvet drapes that filter in the most dreamy dramatic light.

I had no idea what a treat I was about to experience my first time shooting here, and immediately hopped-to scheduling more time to shoot at this amazing venue with the most inspiring light and a fabulous team of talented Toronto vendors. This is the first part of 3 shoots from our work at The Great Hall, and I already can’t wait to share the rest with you!” SEE FULL STORY
