3 Wedding Venues in Toronto, Canada

April 9, 2024

Toronto offers countless venues to explore, each having its own unique atmosphere. Here, I aim to spotlight 3 wedding venues in Toronto, Canada each boasting its own distinct and aesthetic. It’s no secret that picking a wedding venue is one of the most exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) part of the wedding planning process.

Selecting the perfect one depends on factors like your aesthetic preferences, wedding size, location, and personal tastes — prioritizing what matters most to you. Considerations such as budget, amenities, style, food offerings, and accessibility also come into play. It makes you feel like you are dating venues to find “the one” that ticks all the boxes on your list — didn’t you think you were done with dating?

I recommend asking for examples of different decor configurations because decor can really transform a venue. As a photographer, I look at a venue’s ambiance, as it transforms from day to night, as lighting can dramatically alter the venue’s appearance and impact photography. If you need recommendations for venues, I am happy to help recommend some that suits your style and taste.

Biased because I love their pancakes, Mildred’s Temple Kitchen stands out as a restaurant nestled in King West, boasting an industrial yet contemporary open-concept kitchen. Mildred’s is all about creating unforgettable culinary experiences. Opting for a restaurant as your venue often means making food the main event. What better way to do that than with an open kitchen where you can see all the action? It adds a whole new level of excitement to dining at your wedding.

The restaurant’s layout and design offers fantastic nooks that are ideal for intimate photo opportunities, while its floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with beautiful natural light. In the vibrant surroundings of Liberty Village, you’ll also discover an abundance of captivating textures, including brick, steel, glass, and concrete, providing a diverse backdrop for memorable portrait sessions.
