Toronto's Historic Museums - Facility Rentals for weddings

Toronto's Historic Museums – facility rentals Here is their new website - info on renting historic sites for weddings. It's hard to find downtown sites, so MacKenzie House, for instance, is available @ $100 p/h (3 hour minimum).  That's the same price as the Hart House chapel, and about the same SIZE, basically - BUT, you have to pay for staffing as well, which is required at all city facilities. It looks like the East Sun Room at Spadina House is the same situation. And the rules can be strange, because the SITE and the GROUNDS are sometimes under different jurisdictions.  For instance:  it seems like  very inexpensive place would be the verandah at Colborne Lodge at High Park but again there is a 3 hour minimum (even if you don't use all that time), plus staffing. But note - you have to stay on the porch - so it's best to PHONE the booking staff, and see what you need to pay for.

• The grounds surrounding Colborne Lodge are under the jurisdiction of Parks, Forestry and Recreation. Use of these grounds requires a permit from their permit office (416-392-8188)

We've had  nice weddings at the Blue Barracks at Fort York and I enjoy Todmorden Mills (modern facilities in the Art Gallery) as I can walk there from home.  Note - most of these places have little parking, and you can't use the kitchens, and you can only book them after hours, but some are quite nice for little ceremonies for 30 people or so.
