Jon and Carly's wedding in Toronto, Ontario

The story of our wedding

As an interior designer, I had very high standards for the look and feel of my wedding day, as well as the experience of my guests. My husband on the other hand, a chemist, made it a priorty that we had good food for our guests, so our hunt for a beautiful venue with great food that also didn't break our bank account was quite the challenge.

After considering over 200 venues in and around the GTA area and visiting 20, we fell in love with one of O&B's event spaces called the Arcadian Loft - a 7000 sq foot venue with loft-like decor featuring open concrete ceilings, reclaimed grey washed brick walls, and a spectacular view of Old and New City Hall through their floor to ceiling glass windows. Our theme for the day was modern classic, and we were so excited to be able to host all our friends and family in the heart of the city with our photoshoot just across the street from the venue at Osgoode Hall and our ceremony a few blocks down at Grace Toronto Church. We were not only immediately suprised and impressed by the decor and staff here, but the food was phenomenal and we have not stopped receiving compliments from all our guests.
