I remember vividly: years ago, while shooting in one of my favourite spots - Guildwood Park, I’d often find myself glancing over at the old mansion across the way. It stood boarded up and worn down, a mysterious relic tucked into the greenery. Even in its dilapidated state, I couldn’t help but imagine what a fantastic wedding venue it would make.  Then one day, while scrolling online, I saw an article that stopped me in my tracks: Guild Inn was being restored! Plans were in motion to transform the estate into a stunning event space, giving it a new lease on life while honoring its historic charm.


Today, Guild Inn Estate is a seamless blend of history and elegance, nestled in the heart of Guildwood Park. Surrounded by lush gardens, unique sculptures, and iconic remnants of Toronto’s architectural past, the estate feels like something out of a fairytale. The once-abandoned mansion has been rejuvenated with a modern, airy event space that lets natural light pour in, creating a magical glow that photographers dream about. This venue brings together timeless beauty and fresh sophistication, making it a memorable setting for wedding celebrations.
