Wedding Reception Venues in Dundas Valley

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

An 1880s mansion with a fountain on the lawn sets the scene for a Dundas Valley wedding before anyone has walked inside. Lauriston House, at 146 Marsden Road, is a heritage-listed Victorian home run as a function centre, and it takes one event at a time, so the couple has the house and grounds to themselves.

Couples can hold the ceremony outdoors in the gardens or by the gazebo, then move inside for the reception without anyone needing to drive.

The wedding day at Lauriston House:

Ceremony: lawns, a fountain and a gazebo in the landscaped grounds.

Getting ready: a bridal suite and a powder room inside the house.
Guest list: seating for as many as 200 at the wedding breakfast, or roughly 350 standing.
