Toronto venues can host all kinds of dinners—buffets, family-style meals, or even cocktail receptions. It’s your night, so choose what feels right for you and your guests. Casual setups often encourage mingling, which is great for breaking the ice.
Most people schedule dinner for the evening before the wedding, usually around 6 or 7 PM. This gives everyone time to settle in, enjoy the meal, and still get a good night’s sleep before the big day. You could even do a late lunch or early dinner if you want something more casual.
