Top South Asian Wedding Banquet Halls in the GTA (2026 Guide)
For a South Asian wedding, the venue is more than just a room; it’s a stage for a multi-day production. At Squad Films, we’ve filmed in nearly every corner of Ontario, and we know that the right lighting and ceiling height can make or break a cinematic wedding film. As we move through the 2026 wedding season, several venues stand out for their "camera-ready" aesthetics and luxury service.
WEDDING TIPS

1. Embassy Grand Convention Centre (Brampton)
A staple for large-scale Punjabi and Indian weddings, the Embassy Grand is legendary for its massive atrium. From a videography perspective, the high ceilings and open floor plans allow our team to use drones and jib cranes to capture grand entries without obstruction. Their state-of-the-art lighting system is a dream for 4K slow-motion shots during the reception.
2. Universal EventSpace (Vaughan)
If you are looking for a "modern-chic" vibe, Universal EventSpace by Peter and Paul’s is the gold standard. It features over 85,000 square feet of space and, more importantly, outdoor terraces that are perfect for a cinematic "First Look" or a cocktail hour film sequence. The "Studio" rooms offer a clean, industrial-luxury look that pops on camera.
3. Pearson Convention Center (Brampton)
Located conveniently near the airport, the Pearson Convention Center is famous for its pillar-free ballrooms. Why does this matter for your video? It means we have a clear line of sight from any angle, ensuring we never miss a moment of the performances or the emotional speeches. Their crystal chandeliers add a natural "bokeh" (blurred background) effect that adds a layer of luxury to your close-up shots.
4. Claireport Place (Etobicoke)
For couples who love European-inspired architecture, Claireport Place offers a timeless, Renaissance-style aesthetic. The white columns and intricate gold detailing provide a sophisticated backdrop for traditional South Asian attire, making every frame look like a still from a high-end editorial shoot.
5. Chateau Le Jardin (Vaughan)
With 30-foot ceilings and French Chateau vibes, Chateau Le Jardin is where fairytale weddings come to life. The natural light in the foyers is perfect for capturing those candid, emotional moments between the ceremony and the party.
Pro Tip: When booking your hall, always ask about "In-House AV" compatibility. At Squad Films, we coordinate with your DJ and lighting crew to ensure the colors on the walls don't wash out the natural skin tones on your wedding film.
