| - While researching for wedding venues a few years back, Bellvue Manor has always came up in the search as the luxurious, beautiful maison in the City of Vaughan. I love the idea that you get the whole 'estate' to yourself, with high ceilings, a huge foyer, and a cozy Library in the lower level (certainly a perfect spot to host ceremonies, or to perform cultural rituals).
At that time, this venue was a bit too far to host my wedding, so Bellvue Manor was always at the back of my mind that ONE DAY I will attend a wedding here :) and GUESS WHAT. Dreams do come true! One of the most recent visit was in February 2018, and I remember the whole experience was fantastic!
The wedding ceremony was held in the Library. There was an elevator that will take you down. The space was small and intimate. The sound quality was good. After the ceremony, cocktail hour was held in the main foyer with an open bar, and delicious finger foods were served. Photobooth was also being set up and ready to go.
Reception banquet hall was beautifully set up. A spotlight lit up each guest table's centerpiece, which was very nice! The dinner was an enjoyable western-style 3-course meal. The fresh bread basket was really tasty. I had a HUGE portion of Mushroom Risotto as appetizer, Beef Shank as my main, and an Apple Crumble with ice cream for dessert.
The bartender was awesome that evening. The waitstaff was taking great care of our table. One of the set up crew or waitstaff, in the beginning when we first got seated, also went above and beyond to find us a make shift "booster" for the child at our table *thumbs up*
After dinner, and a lot of dancing (and drinking!) later, midnight snack stations were set up in the foyer - with savoury and sweet pizzas, tacos, and slices of cake available. Overall, a very enjoyable wedding experience as a guest :)
P.S. Yes, the ladies' washroom was clean and well maintained, and I loved the full glass mirror - great for selfies ;)
