West Queen West has always been a little bit artistic, and The Drake Hotel has been part of that spirit for more than 20 years. Its art-filled rooms and creative energy give a wedding a setting that feels anything but ordinary.
Located in Toronto, The Drake is a boutique hotel that hosts weddings, parties and private events year-round.
Couples can build the day across several spaces. Ceremonies can take place on the Sky Yard rooftop or in the Lounge, receptions can unfold in the Lounge, and Drake Underground offers a space for a standout celebration.
The newly renovated Drake Underground hosts up to 120 guests theatre-style and comes with a stage and two bars, which makes it a natural fit for live music and dancing.
Food is a major part of the experience. Menus are curated by Executive Chef Daniel Hyam, and the hotel is known for its creative cocktail program, professional sound and lighting and on-site event support.
The Special Events team includes dedicated planners and coordinators who guide each celebration from first toast to last dance, with custom menus and personal planning shaped around each couple.
Guests can stay on site too. The hotel offers special group rates and room blocks across its 51 art-filled hotel rooms, with the option of a full hotel buyout for exclusive use of the property.
The celebration does not have to be limited to one evening. The Drake also hosts rehearsal dinners, welcome drinks and day-after brunches, turning a wedding into a full weekend in Queen West.
Art is everywhere at The Drake, from guest rooms to dining spaces, so photos taken on the day naturally carry the hotel's colourful personality.
For couples who want a modern, artistic wedding with rooftop vows, great food and everyone staying close, The Drake Hotel offers a celebration with real West Queen West character.
