12:00 PM – Your Boutique Prep (The Broadview Hotel)

The floor-to-ceiling windows offer sweeping views of the Don Valley and the skyline, providing a vibrant, high-energy environment for your preparations. Being just across the bridge from the Distillery means your transition to the venue is effortless and scenic.
2:00 PM – The Distillery First Look (Tank House Lane)
We’ll stage your First Look on Tank House Lane, the most atmospheric corridor in the Distillery District. Surrounded by soaring Victorian red-brick facades and overhead string lights, this moment will feel like a private stroll through a European city. The raw, gritty textures of the district provide a stunning contrast to your refined wedding attire, giving your "reveal" a sophisticated, lifestyle-driven edge.

New for 2026, we’ll utilize the newly opened Cooperage Marketplace for a portion of your portraits. This revitalized historic space offers exposed brick and massive heritage windows that flood the area with clean, natural light. It’s a perfect, sheltered spot to capture high-fashion couple's portraits that feel deeply connected to the Distillery’s industrial past while remaining modern and chic.

Your reception takes place in Cluny’s private back gallery, a space that feels entirely separate from the bustling restaurant.Surrounded by ornate bar details and the venue’s signature tiled floors, your dinner will feel like an exclusive, food-focused celebration.

The Cluny's Restaurant Experience:
From Our Couples
"Lucas and Josh were incredible to work with. Lucas's creative vision is what drew us in almost two years ago, and he still exceeded every expectation. He captured both of our wedding days beautifully, including our South Asian ceremony. Lucas was organized, prompt, and always seemed to find the perfect moments - from early morning shots to sunset portraits. He made us feel completely comfortable, never rushed or overly posed, and really allowed us to just be ourselves. We also appreciated how quickly he delivered the photos, which kept the excitement going after the wedding festivities ended. We’re so grateful we chose Lucas and highly recommend him If you want stunning photos and a genuinely great person by your side."
