The Secret Garden Inn is bound to imbue your wedding day with magical moments. This venue is in historic Sydenham Ward and was recently renovated, making it the picture-perfect place for classic and contemporary to unite. The original home dates to 1888 and the intimate courtyard can hold 25–30 people. The inn offers a number of packages for wedding groups and can organize spa treatments or sport activities for your guests. Enjoy high tea, and a three-course table d’hote dinner menu that showcases seasonal produce. You can also treat your guests to seven charming guest rooms, each with its own unique touches, such as a writer’s desk or a view of the tranquil garden. Whether you’re watching the gently falling snow from one of several nooks or enjoying the courtyard lush with perennials, a quiet waterfall, and a koi pond, this venue is endearing year-round. You’ll feel “tucked-away” in a secret oasis while being steps away from downtown, cathedrals and churches, and the waterfront.
