music hall = wedding venue?

koerner hall torontoi think it could totally work. well, for the wedding only that is.. not for the reception, unless the venue has other facilities that could accomodate.

i stumbled across koerner hall (toronto). look how gorgeous this is! the architecture of the ceiling is beautiful. WOW! koerner hall atrium torontoreally the only decor you'd have to take care of is the mandap. obviously you'd want to enhance the look by having a mandap that accentuates the amazing curves in the ceiling.

there's no worries about the seating since there's plenty on the main floor. it seats 540, which can easily be filled during an indian wedding. even though the balconies is unnecessary for guests, they would be great for the photographer and videographer. you don't typically get opportunities for angles like that in photos and videos.

considering it's a music hall with awesome acoustics, you could imagine what a live indian classical ensemble would sound like during the wedding. i'm sure it would create a very calming experience throughout the entire hall while the wedding is taking place.

i really love these kinds of venues.  it's definitely an easy way to make your wedding unique.

art deco delight

allstream centre ballroom torontoallstream centre (toronto):
the art deco details in this former automotive factory - think tulip-shaped light fixtures and a frank lloyd wright inspired ballroom ceiling - add flair to the greenest conference facility in canada. the sprawling 160,000 square foot limestone fortress of environmentally responsible bells and whistles features a white reflective roof and is powered exclusively by renewable energy sources.

the tree hugger in me loves this place. the artsy-fartsy in me adores this place. everyone can certainly appreciate the walls and ceiling in the ballroom.  with capacity of over 3800 for a banquet, i would have had no problems transitioning from wedding to reception.

i seriously wish i had found and looked into the possibility of this venue a year ago.  not to say i don't love the venue we booked.. it would have been nice to have comparable options.
