Intimate Wedding Venue in Vaughan
Because Bigger Isn't Always Better
A romantic Italian resto-lounge built for weddings of 30 to 100 guests — quality over quantity.
Smaller Weddings Hit Different
Not everyone wants 300 people at their wedding. And honestly? I think thats completely ok. Actually I think its more than ok — I think intimate weddings might be the most beautiful kind of celebration you can have. When you know every single person in the room. When the food is genuinely exceptional instead of mass-produced. When the whole evening feels like it was designed for you and not just another Saturday wedding at the assembly line venue. Thats special. Like really special.
Events by Forty is a modern Italian resto-lounge in Vaughan and its kind of ideal for intimate weddings. The space has this romantic sophisticated vibe that feels like a real wedding venue but doesn't feel like a factory that churns out weddings every weekend. It has character. Warmth. Soul, maybe? I don't know how else to describe it. Big commercial halls just cant replicate that no matter how many fairy lights they string up.
What Makes Getting Married Here Different
The atmosphere, first of all. Walking into Events by Forty doesn't feel like walking into a standard wedding venue. Its more like stepping into a beautiful Italian restaurant — which, well, it is. The design, the lighting, the textures and materials — it creates this feeling thats elegant but also genuinely comfortable. Your guests relax. And when people are relaxed at a wedding, thats when the real fun happens.
The food is probably the biggest highlight. Italian wedding feasts are legendary for a reason. Our kitchen takes that seriously. Everything prepared fresh. Multi-course meals — appetizers, pasta course because obviously its Italian, beautiful mains, and desserts that honestly rival most wedding cakes. Every dish made with care. Not gonna lie, your wedding dinner will probably be one of the best meals your guests have ever had.
Full bar translates to champagne toasts on entering when you are already married, drinks of your own choice that you had together as a couple, wine with each course. Decor and styling is all in-house. Flowers, candles, table settings, draped fabrics, personal touches that make it uniquely yours.
Guest Count
The Right Number of People
Intimate weddings are usually 30 to 100 guests and our space handles that range perfectly. Everyone gets attention. Everyone eats incredible food. And — this is the big one — the couple actually gets to spend real time with the people they love most.
At massive weddings the couple barely eats their own food. They spend the whole night being dragged from table to table doing the rounds. Photo here, photo there, shake this hand, hug that aunt. By the end they're exhausted and they can barely remember any of it. At an intimate wedding here, you sit down. You eat together. You laugh. You actually experience your own wedding.
Theres also a quality argument. When you go smaller, you can invest more per guest. Better food. Better drinks. Better everything. You do not dilute your budget into a hundred different customers and cut corners everywhere but provide a smaller number with an outstanding experience.
Quality Over Quantity
We're in Vaughan — easy from Woodbridge, Kleinburg, Maple, the GTA. If you and your partner want a wedding thats about quality over quantity, about the people who matter instead of everyone you've ever met, lets make something beautiful.
