One King West is one of Toronto's most iconic wedding venues, offering an unparalleled blend of modern luxury and historic charm. As a  wedding photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing countless beautiful weddings here, and each time I’m struck by how this stunning venue effortlessly balances elegance with a contemporary vibe. Whether you're drawn to its grand architecture or the stylish interior, One King West offers the perfect backdrop for a truly unforgettable wedding day.


Located in the heart of downtown Toronto, One King West Hotel is housed in a historic bank building dating back to 1914, which lends it an air of old-world charm. The building's exterior is grand and awe-inspiring, with its beautiful Beaux-Arts architecture providing a sense of luxury and sophistication from the moment you arrive.


Inside, the transformation is nothing short of spectacular. The venue's design seamlessly merges the grandeur of the past with the chic, modern features of today. As a photographer, I love how the high ceilings, tall windows, and stately architecture create a stunning backdrop for both ceremony and reception shots. The natural light that floods through the windows during the day enhances the entire space, giving wedding photos an almost ethereal glow.
