For someone that enjoys golf, I tend to like weddings held at golf clubs. Even though the bride and groom will not have enough time to play a few holes on their big day, the setting amongst well manicured fairways and greens on a lovely sunny day is very nice to host a wedding in my personal opinion. On the east side of Don Mills Road both north and south of York Mills Road, there is a number of beautiful and well-maintained golf holes that one can easily miss when driving over bridges on either road. When I first saw them, I wondered where the clubhouse and other facilities were located as there is no direct entrance to the club from Don Mills or York Mills roads. It was only when Power Flowers provided flower arrangements for weddings that I discovered that the holes were part of the Donalda Club. The entrance to Donalda Club is nestled in a residential area accessible from Silverdale Crescent which is the first right-hand turn travelling east on York Mills Road after crossing Don Mills Road.
Wedding receptions are hosted in the stately clubhouse which has a number of windows looking out to other parts of the estate. If my memory serves me correctly, the reception area has room for about 15 to 18 large tables and so there is enough room if your guest list is not extremely high. The club may have other rooms available for the reception so please inquire. Beside the clubhouse, one can host the ceremony outside in an adjacent garden area. When placing the flower arrangements in preparation for an outdoor ceremony at the club, I noticed the grass was in mint condition which one would expect from a golf club. Although I did not get a chance to wander around, I am quite sure that your photographer will be able to find locations on the estate to take wonderful photos of the bride and groom. I found the staff at the Donalda Club very helpful in directing me to where the flower arrangements should be placed and overall, I enjoyed my short visits delivering and placing wedding flower arrangements.
Allocate some time in your busy schedule to visit the Donalda Club and obtain more information about weddings held at the club. Donalda Club is in a nice secluded location even though it is in central Toronto. If most of your guests are located in Toronto, it should be easy for them to drive or take public transportation to the Donalda Club for the ceremony and reception.
