Lodge On Queen

Some Toronto weddings feel polished.

Lodge On Queen feels collected.

Set inside a Victorian heritage building on Queen Street West, the venue is filled with the kinds of details that usually take years to find: exposed brick, crystal chandeliers, stained glass, vintage furniture, original artwork and hand-knotted rugs.

Nothing feels like it came out of a ballroom catalogue.

That gives weddings here a wonderful personality from the moment guests arrive.

The multi-level space can be shaped around the celebration, allowing dinner, cocktails and dancing to unfold through rooms that already feel warm and lived in.

There is something particularly romantic about that in the middle of downtown Toronto.

Outside, Queen Street is busy.

Streetcars move past.

People are heading somewhere.

Inside, an old building has become its own little world for one evening.

The ceremony finishes.

Drinks begin.

Friends sink into vintage chairs while dinner is prepared and the couple finally has a moment to realize the day they planned for so long is actually happening.

Later, chandeliers glow above a room that has become much louder than it was a few hours earlier.

For couples who want their wedding to feel stylish without feeling predictable, Lodge On Queen offers something wonderfully different.

A little elegance.

A little edge.

And a lot of character.
