Weddings at Bank Vault Wedding
Overview
One King West Hotel & Residence offers guests one of the best, most desired addresses in the city for a wedding. Originally the home of a very prestigious bank, redesigned now as a hotel, One King West will certainly offer you one of the most unique wedding venues in Canada.
The prestigious address of One King West was first home to the original Michie & Co. Grocers & Wine Merchants, established in Toronto in the mid-1800s. In 1879, the much sought-after location changed owners to become home to the head office of The Dominion Bank, a residency that would last an impressive 126 years. In 1999 the Dominion Bank Building, now deemed a Heritage Building, was carefully redesigned for residential use and by 2006 the transformation was finally complete, resulting in One King West Hotel and Residence. Today, guests of the hotel are treated to the historical splendour of the Dominion Bank Building along with the modern sophistication of luxurious hotel amenities and services.
Located at the bottom of the wide marble staircase leading from the personal Banking Area is the bank's original vault. At the time considered the largest and best equipped bank vault in Canada, the vault is approximately 33 feet square by twenty-five feet high, and is divided into two stories; the upper or Safety Deposit Vault and the lower or Treasury Vaults and this is where you will exchange your vows.
Your Classic Wedding will feature flowers for the bride and groom, professional wedding photography and a tour through Graffiti Alley, the Distillery District and Union Street Station for fantastic photo opportunities.
