Ritz-Carlton wedding Toronto

The Ritz-Carlton Toronto is one of the city’s most sought-after luxury wedding venues — refined, architectural, and impeccably serviced. From intimate ceremonies to grand ballroom receptions and modern sangeet nights, this venue offers a seamless canvas for elevated wedding design.

At Ethereal Creators, we’ve had the privilege of designing multiple celebrations at The Ritz-Carlton Toronto — including weddings, ceremonies, and sangeet events — each tailored to a completely different vision.

Why Couples Choose The Ritz-Carlton Toronto for Their Wedding

The Ritz-Carlton stands apart for couples seeking a polished, luxury experience without compromise.

What makes it exceptional:

  • Multiple rooms for multi-day and multi-event weddings

  • A refined ballroom ideal for large-scale floral and lounge installations

  • Exceptional lighting that enhances décor without overproduction

  • Impeccable service, security, and event coordination

  • A luxury hotel experience for both hosts and guests


From our experience, the staff is collaborative, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in flawless execution.

The Ritz-Carlton Ballroom

Best for Receptions & Sangeets

Capacity

  • Seated reception: ~180–250 guests

  • Cocktail / sangeet-style events: Up to ~300 guests


What the Space Offers

  • High ceilings with clean architectural lines

  • Neutral finishes that work with both bold and soft palettes

  • Strong built-in lighting (a major plus for evening events)


Our Experience Designing This Room
We’ve transformed the Ritz-Carlton Ballroom for:

  • A blue, modern sangeet layered with custom draping, candlelight, and plush lounge seating

  • A blush and white wedding reception featuring long rectangular tables and a dedicated lounge area

The ballroom’s scale allows for statement installations without feeling crowded, and the neutral base lets each event feel completely different — even when hosted back-to-back.

The Wellington Room

Best for Indoor Wedding Ceremonies

Capacity

  • Ceremony seating: ~120–180 guests



What the Space Offers

  • Intimate proportions compared to the main ballroom

  • Ideal for floral-forward or pastel ceremony designs

  • Works beautifully for couples wanting an indoor ceremony that still feels soft and romantic




Our Experience Designing This Room


We designed a burnt-orange pastel ceremony in the Wellington Room, using layered florals and tonal textures to warm the space without overwhelming it.

This room is especially strong for couples who want:

  • A distinct ceremony look separate from the reception

  • A more emotional, immersive setting

  • Design that photographs beautifully from every angle

Junior Ballrooms & Salon Spaces

Best for Mehndi, Welcome Events & Intimate Celebrations

Capacity

  • Approximately 40–100 guests (depending on layout)

What the Spaces Offer

  • Flexible layouts for lounge-style events

  • Ideal for cultural or ritual-focused celebrations

  • A more relaxed flow compared to formal ballrooms

Our Experience Designing These Spaces
These rooms are perfect for:

  • Mehndi events

  • Welcome receptions

  • Smaller pre-wedding gatherings

We often lean into furniture, lighting, and layered florals here rather than heavy staging allowing the space to feel intentional without over-designing.

Design & Logistics: What Couples Should Know

While The Ritz-Carlton Toronto is a luxury venue, there are important planning details couples should be aware of:

  • Load-in & load-out require extra time due to multiple hallways

  • Elevator access requires staff or vendor ID clearance

  • The venue is flexible with early room access when required

  • Candles are allowed, which opens up strong design possibilities

From a design perspective, planning logistics early allows the creative vision to stay intact without last-minute compromises.

Guest Count & Floor Planning

We’ve designed weddings at the Ritz-Carlton Toronto for approximately 200 guests, with room to scale depending on:

  • Table style (round vs rectangular)

  • Dance floor placement

  • Lounge vs seating balance


Thoughtful floor planning is key to making larger guest counts feel intentional rather than crowded.

Wedding Packages at The Ritz-Carlton Toronto

The Ritz-Carlton Toronto does not offer fixed wedding décor packages.

Instead:

  • Weddings are custom-quoted based on guest count, rooms used, and catering

  • Décor and floral design are handled separately by your design team

  • This allows for fully customized events, not templated weddings


From our experience, design budgets typically range from $30K–$120K+, depending on:

  • Number of events

  • Floral density

  • Furniture and lounge requirements

  • Custom installations or staging

Why This Venue Works for Multi-Day Weddings

One of the strongest advantages of the Ritz-Carlton Toronto is its ability to host:

  • Ceremony

  • Sangeet

  • Wedding reception


all within the same venue, while still allowing each event to feel distinct and elevated.

With the right design approach, each room becomes its own world — cohesive, but never repetitive.

Final Thoughts

A Ritz-Carlton Toronto wedding is best suited for couples who value:

  • Design flexibility

  • Strong service and coordination

  • A polished, luxury guest experience

When paired with a design team that understands both creative vision and venue logistics, the Ritz-Carlton becomes a canvas for truly unforgettable celebrations.
