Arlington's 4 Kleinburg Estate Secrects
Capturing an Arlington Estate wedding requires an eye for modern grandeur and the vast, private scale of the grounds. From the luminous, high-ceiling ballroom to the secluded pond and manicured sanctuary, these four secrets show you how to utilize the venue’s architectural depth and elite design for a polished, cinematic gallery.
Secret 01 Spectacular, Social & Grand Scale
The Terrace Fireworks Finale
The fireworks show over the terrace is the definitive architectural exclamation point of your wedding. The secret is capturing the transition as guests flow from the luminous ballroom onto the expansive stone terrace. By balancing ambient interior glow with the explosive sky, we document the sheer scale of your celebration, creating a cinematic experience that emphasizes the exclusivity of your private estate.
Secret 04: The Grand Ballroom Light-Map
Dramatic, Luminous & High-Tech
Arlington’s ballroom is legendary for its high-tech lighting and soaring ceilings. The secret is working in tandem with the venue’s internal lighting systems to bounce off-camera flash. Because the ceilings are so high and clean, they act as a massive softbox, allowing us to capture high-energy reception candids that look polished, vibrant, and expensive, even in a dark party environment.
Secret 02: Aerial, High-Impact & Editorial
The Private Helicopter Pad
The on-site helicopter pad is a premier feature for high-luxury entrances that most venues cannot accommodate. The secret is utilizing this dedicated space as a minimalist, geometric stage for editorial-style portraits. By positioning the couple on the concrete circle against the vast green grounds, we capture a modern, high-fashion aesthetic that emphasizes the grand scale and complete privacy of your seven-acre estate.
Secret 03: Symmetrical, Personalized & High-Luxury
The Grand Espresso Bar
The indoor lounge features a grand architectural bar that serves as a hidden gem for "branded" portraits. The secret is utilizing the symmetrical white arch and custom digital signage to frame the couple. By incorporating high-end copper features and gold-accented woodwork, we create a luxury lifestyle aesthetic, capturing your unique wedding brand with sophisticated, modern elegance.

Arlington Estate Wedding FAQ
Can we actually land a helicopter at the venue for our entrance?
Yes, The Arlington Estate is one of the only luxury venues in Ontario with a private, on-site helicopter pad. This allows you to coordinate a high-impact aerial arrival directly onto the 7-acre grounds. For photographers, this space also serves as a minimalist, concrete stage for modern editorial portraits.
What is the difference between the East Wing and West Wing?
The wings are completely separate and soundproof, each with its own private carport, entrance, lobby, and terrace.
The East Wing: Ideal for intimate gatherings, seating between 80 and 165 guests.
The West Wing: Designed for grand-scale celebrations, seating between 200 and 475 guests. Both wings feature 20-foot ceilings and a "no-pillar" design to ensure unobstructed views.
Is the Heritage House available for ceremonies year-round?
Yes. The 1856 Heritage House is a historic on-site chapel that provides a climate-controlled, European-style indoor ceremony space. It offers a classic white-wood contrast to the modern "glass box" architecture of the main wings. For couples preferring the outdoors, the estate also offers ceremony grounds with a wooden pergola and a 1.5-acre reflecting pond.
How does the venue handle photography on the grounds?
The property is a fully private 7-acre compound, meaning you have exclusive access to the manicured grounds, walking paths, and the signature 1.5-acre pond. Because there are no public walkways or shared park spaces, you can capture wide-angle architectural shots and reflecting pool portraits without outside interference.
Can we host a fireworks display on the terrace?
Yes, The Arlington Estate is a premier venue for professional firework displays. The venue has a preferred partnership with Pyroworld, an Ontario-based company that has produced over 125 shows on the property. The 1.5-acre pond and expansive stone terrace serve as the perfect architectural backdrop for a high-impact finale to your reception.
