November 2025 Wedding
Our wedding at the One King West was truly a dream. Every element of the process leading up to the day and the day itself was so seamless and easy!
Starting with our Wedding Specialist, Shunell, she was incredible to work with! Her attention to detail, organization, and friendly spirit put us at ease instantly! She was willing to help us make all of our ideas and visions come to life, which made the day feel so custom and true to us! We knew we were in good hands. The whole team at the OKW was incredibly accommodating and great to work with! Even down to the waitstaff, we, along with our guests, were well taken care of.
The venue itself is stunning and so unique from anything else in Toronto, and we felt so lucky to get married there! All of our guests were in awe of its beauty, as were we!
Finally, the food. Arguably, from a guest standpoint, one of the most important parts. It was DELICIOUS! We had guests say their steak was the best steak they had ever had! And the carrot cake, it rivalled my grandmother's recipe. Once again, during the tasting, the OKW team was so accommodating, and we could make any changes we liked! To this day, we still hear from guests how much they loved the food! No one left hungry.
Having our wedding at the OKW was the best choice we could have made, and we can't wait to visit on our anniversary every year!

Spring Wedding
Our wedding at One King West was a dream come true. It was a perfect day for our large group and guest count, and the staff were incredibly helpful - especially Angela who was with us from the beginning. She answered queries in a timely fashion and was so knowledgeable. She worked with us in the year leading to the wedding and was extremely professional throughout. Her guidance was particularly key as we drew closer to the big day. We loved our use of the grand banking hall for the reception, chairman’s board room for wedding party and close family photos, and Austin gallery for cocktail hour.

European Elegance in the heart of Toronto
Where to begin? Wow! What a venue! Just like finding your soulmate to finding your wedding dress, you know when you know; and that is what One King West was for us. The moment we stepped foot into the property, we instantly felt at home. There is truly no words to describe the feeling of stepping into Grand Banking Hall! What we loved about OKW is the multiple rooms available to YOU! We wanted to celebrate different parts of our day in different rooms, it was a way of creating different experiences but in the convenience of it being in one venue. All the rooms were stunning and offered the elegance we were after.
I want to highlight the amazing staff of OKW especially Shunell Wilson. If you ever get the chance to work with her, she is an angel. It truly made our experience 100x better. Shunell was very professional yet she has this charm that makes you just love her. She was very patient with all our requests, changes and she was just excited about everything which made us even more excited! Shunell went above and beyond for us, and there are not enough words that we can say to thank her for everything she has done. She is the most beautiful person inside & out!
Our tasting was so much fun. That is when it really started to sink in. The food was 10/10! Which was important to us. The quality & quantity of the food on the day was exactly the same on the actual day. After hearing horror stories from other brides who got married in other establishments that food quality dropped on their wedding day, I can definitely vouch that OKW delivers! All of our guests kept coming to us and complimenting how amazing the food was!
All of our vendors loved dealing with OKW. The day was handled with so much care and eye to detail. They all knew how the day is suppose to play out and we couldn’t be happier! The day ran smoothly and on time. The staff were all prepared and handled our party very well.
One King West is truly a magical place. They made our wedding experience so easy! If you are looking for timeless elegance with the most amazing service, look no further! We wouldn’t change a single thing! Happy planning everyone 💕

A fairytale venue for the most magical day of our lives
I have always loved staying at One King West so we knew we had to tour the venue. As soon as we met Shunell, our venue coordinator, and she took us into the Grand Banking Hall, we knew this is where we had to get married.
One King West is a stunning historical building and the reception space is breathtaking. All of our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the space was. It was also so nice that everything could happen in one place. Also, so many beautiful photo opportunities inside that we were able to have our wedding off season saving our budget! They had day use suites for us to get ready in morning of (I opted to upgrade to 1500 for space for the hair and makeup team which I highly recommend), our ceremony and cocktail hour took place in the Austin Gallery and then we had our reception in the Grand Banking Hall. No running around from location to location making our day and our guests experience stress free.
Speaking of stress free, I can't speak enough praise to Shunell for ensuring that our day was as such. She was our contact person throughout the planning process and venue coordinator for day of. She was so much fun to work with and made sure all of our little requests were executed without a hitch. Her responsiveness was amazing as well as her attention to detail. You could tell how professional she was and how many weddings she had pulled off. All the stress of planning was taken off my shoulders because the venue and Shunell took care of it.
I would not change a thing about our wedding and a large part of that is due to Shunell and the staff at One King West. Thank you so much for making our dream day a reality and we can't wait to come stay with you again.

Great Team & Beautiful Venue
We got married on Friday, August 15th, 2025, and had such an amazing experience working with our wedding specialist, Angela.
From the very beginning, she was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the booking process and all of the key decisions leading up to the wedding, especially when it came to the menu and overall options. She was always responsive, organized, and genuinely so easy to work with, which made the entire planning process feel so much smoother and stress-free.
She took the time to answer all of our questions and made sure we felt confident in every decision. You can really tell she cares about her couples and wants them to have the best possible experience.
We also loved celebrating our wedding at the One King West Hotel. The space is so unique and beautiful; it truly made the day feel special and memorable. The food and service were amazing, and everything ran seamlessly. We especially appreciated how the team worked with us to tailor the experience and offer thoughtful options that aligned with our vision and budget, while still maintaining such a high level of quality throughout.
Overall, we had an absolute blast, and a big part of that is thanks to Angela and the One King West team's support throughout the process. We would highly recommend this venue!

A Phenomenal Location and an Even More Phenomenal Staff
We can't begin to express our gratitude towards the whole team at One King West. People have not stopped talking about how GORGEOUS the venue was. There are so many beautiful places inside to take photos, which was great for the snowy November weather. Every inch of the building is stunning.
Our guests also can't stop talking about the food and how delicious it was. BUT our most received compliment from our guests however, was towards the event staff and bartenders. People will not stop talking about how kind, professional and attentive the event staff was during our dinner reception. Before planning our wedding, I didn't realize how important this was to guests! If you want your guests to feel well taken care of- OKW is the venue for you.
Our One King West Wedding Specialist Angela was an absolute Godsend. She made us feel supported every step of the way and made sure our needs and requests were met throughout the whole process. Even when we were stuck on certain choices or unsure of what to decide on, Angela gave us options and helped us to navigate through it. Her communication was always so kind, patient, reliable and prompt- which is so so important when you are mid wedding spiral. Her organization was also SO essential for the wedding going off without a hitch. My husband and I are so incredibly grateful to Angela and the team at One King West for not only creating a wedding we will never forget but our guests will never forget!
