New Venue Alert: Grand Metropolitan in Mississauga

Review written by Gina Humilde

We are so lucky at WeDDings Jubilee to have some amazing 'planners-in-training' on our team, they are out in the field all the time in order to visit and get to know tons of venues, amazing vendors and, of course, get inspired to create some gorgeous weddings and events. I, your trusted Wedding Planner, try often to go along. In this case, it was not possible, so our very capable and brilliant Gina Humilde took the reigns & trekked to Mississauga to visit the new Grand Metropolitan. Enjoy her review:)

Looking for a luxurious banquet hall that houses a serious WOW factor? Well look no further than the newly renovated Grand Metropolitan in Mississauga.

Owned by Dynamic Hospitality & Entertainment who operates venues such as The Eglinton Grand and Atlantis Pavilions, this venue should have the same excellent track record for service.

The Grand Metropolitan offers two extravagant ballrooms on two different floors of the building. They are able to hold 250-450 guests. The spaces also include built in AV systems, complimentary parking and even separate bridal suites.

The main ballroom showcases an enormous, 40,000 crystal chandelier that is sure to capture everyone’s attention.

Now that is some serious bling!

If you need a space that needs very little décor, and exudes an air of opulence, this could be the place for you!

Fun Proposal Ideas!

Did you know that most men delay the marriage proposal because they have no idea how to do it? First thing to remember is that your marriage proposal is the beginning of your 'wedding story'. It can be as simple or as lavish as you would like it to be, but it should be personalized to be a wonderful, memorable occasion that you will think about for the rest of your lives. Here are some fun ideas for the three common personality types.

Diva (aka Daddy's little princess)
You've seen it a dozen times in movies. He puts the ring in her dessert, the violinist serenades them; he gets down on one knee; looks deep into her eyes and asks the magic question: So&So, Will You Marry Me? This is tried, tested and Done!


How about you order up a little 'glam' with your question (this is after you've asked for her hand in marriage, of course).  Have the art gallery or museum host you after hours with a private tour leading to a lavish, private, catered dinner for two. Have a violinist or a saxophonist serenading you. During dessert have the words written in chocolate around the plate. Get down on one knee to present the ring and Voila!

Creative and Quirky (aka the one who loves surprises)
 Try this one on for size: take her to the movies (and no, don't put the ring in the popcorn). Instead, create a slide-show that can be played on the cinema's projector (usually a professional videographer or photographer can help you create this). Make sure that the last slide is of you holding up a "Will You Marry Me Sign." Have the movie operator play it at the end of the movie, just before the credits ... talk about unforgettable.



3. 'Sweet' and Simple - Arrange to have her favorite cupcakery design cupcakes with the 'question' iced on them. During a 'date night', cook dinner at your place (or hers) or arrange a picnic brunch. Make sure to have the ring perched on top of one of the cupcakes when you surprise her with the 'thoughtful' treat, and trust me, not only will you melt her heart, but you'll be well on your way to wedded bliss.
