Our Review of The Madsen’s Wedding Venue in Newmarket

Tuesday August 25, 2020

Newmarket wedding venues have been prettier than at Madsens

Have a tropical wedding in any season in Newmarket at Maden’s Banquet Hall and Chapel. This venue features an indoor greenhouse that doubles as an event venue and a retail garden. The space is 14,000 square feet, including the outdoor chapel. In its entirety, it holds up to 240 people.

The outside chapel doesn’t have any covering. It is only available on bright days. It does have a beautiful gazebo with winding plants and hanging plants for decoration—the patio and gazebo surrounded by lush, manicured greenery. The inside of the greenhouses where a majority of the wedding ceremonies happen through the year. It is beautiful, warm, and still very tropical. 

While you can bring your own, the venue does have a wedding officiant on staff ready to help you with our wedding. The officiant is retired, Rev.John McKibbon. Who, upon contract sign, gives you the book with the readings he uses for most ceremonies.  This book is for you to review and make changes as you please. He excels at non-religious, contemporary and personalized wedding vows.

The wedding vendors

 Due to the nature (literally!) of this venue. The venue only allows one catering company O’Malley’s Catering in Toronto, as their exclusive caterer. The caterer hosts many different options and works with you to create a menu that everyone will love and is within your price point. 

Wedding music

This venue offers an exclusive in house DJ to handle all your music and sound needs. They do not allow outside music vendors. There is a sound restriction in the areas as it is classified as residential their in house DJ is an expert in sound control while maintaining the fun atmosphere. 

The beauty of this venus is unrivalled. Watching the sunset through the transparent ceiling and dancing the night away under the stars is an unforgettable experience. Small lights illuminate the ceiling and trees to provide mood lighting for your romantic night. The nature and beauty of the venue is well maintained. One of the cleanest greenhouses but still expect small amounts of foliage around.

While they give you a bartender for the night, you do have to provide your alcohol. Think of fun signature drinks before the event to minimize the amount you have to spend on alcohol.

The wedding experience

As it is a Tropical Garden, expect it to be humid; this is to maintain the plants sensitive to temperature changes. If humidity is an issue for you, this might not be the venue for you. 

All in all, this venue is unique and beautiful. And well worth the investment. This wedding venue provides a picture-perfect backdrop for your picture-perfect wedding.
