When looking for an industrial venue, start your search in The Distillery, this historic district offers a great vintage vibe and equally historic venues. Many other parts of Toronto offer industrial venues, featuring a number of factories and breweries that have been repurposed as event spaces. Look for them in Old Toronto and in Corktown.
When considering an industrial wedding venue, be sure to allow yourself plenty of time to book before your big day. While every wedding venue is different, of course, industrial venues are particularly one of a kind. If your heart is set on a repurposed Victorian factory or a brewery, there simply aren’t that many venues out there that can fulfil this desire. So give yourself a break and book your venue at least nine months to a year ahead of your wedding day.
When reviewing your options for this type of wedding venue, it is helpful to know some of the key features of the “industrial” venue. Firstly, the venue should feature a “raw” look - exposed beams, bricks and piping. Second, considering the bare bones aspect of these venues, mind your budget for decor. Don’t over decorate, and, basically, don’t be afraid to let the venue shine. Subtle touches and atmospheric lighting will definitely help you “wow” your guests and make your industrial wedding one to remember.
