Our Review of Old Mill Hotel Wedding Venue in Toronto

Monday August 10, 2020

A cornerstone of Toronto, this vintage wedding venue has a lot to offer. 

You can feel the love Old Mill Toronto has when hosting your wedding. The Old Mill neighbourhood named after the mills that have been there since 1793 almost 200 years after the Humber river (at the time St. Johns Creek) became an established trade route to Toronto. The grist mill has changed with the times. In the 1900s, the Old Mill became a tea house and community center for its people. Growing with the times, it has added additional structures such as a dance hall, banquet halls and a cute chapel by the end of the 1900s. Newly renovated in 2001, it has become the Old Mill Hotel.

This venue, hosting weddings since the 1900s, offers the most photogenic and historic weddings and receptions. There are over fifteen different halls to choose from ranging to host the smaller, more intimate weddings all the way up to larger, romantic weddings. By keeping the original designs, all rooms still have an authentic historical feeling. 


The banquet halls do not have bridal suites attached for last-minute preparations. They are a hotel, and it is easy to add a room booking on to your day.  Wake up and have the full Old Mill Hotel and spa experience. With a hotel room instead of a bridal suite, you do not have to worry about privacy and enjoy your time preparing for your day.  The Old Mill offers romantic add-ons for your room, such as roses, champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries, carrying the romance from daytime to nighttime.
