Wedding Music

Professional, helpful and they respond quickly. They were able to provide me with guidance in putting together the ideal ensemble for my gathering. Thank you!

The happiest funeral of my life!

Event was canceled without any prior notice, just a note on the door met with many frustrated people. A simple email to all attendees would’ve been appreciated. Can’t speak for the performances but the management team needs to do their job better.

Amazing work! Thanks to all volunteers and organizers who brought these beautiful performances to Ottawa.

Nice place with wonderful people! Proud to be part.

Bought tickets for 26th sommer festival! Check it out.

The best chamber music festival in the world, I think.

DJ Rob—aka Hurricane Hollywood—was absolutely incredible. From the moment we met him, we knew he was going to be a great fit, and he completely knocked it out of the park.

He brought an infectious energy to the day and was so much more than just someone behind a booth. Rob offered great music suggestions for key parts of the ceremony and reception, and took the time to connect with guests beforehand to fine-tune the vibe for the dance floor. That extra effort made a huge difference, people noticed, and they loved it.

Guests kept telling us how fun he was and how impressed they were that he got everyone dancing right from the start of the party and kept them dancing all night.

We’re so glad we had him as part of our celebration—he truly helped make it unforgettable.

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Sounds Unlimited! We had the pleasure of having Craig as our DJ and Paula running our Photo Booth, and they were both absolutely amazing from our very first conversation to the last song of the night.

Craig took the time to understand our music preferences, read the crowd perfectly, and kept the dance floor full all night long. He was professional, engaging, and clearly passionate about making our day unforgettable. Paula was equally wonderful—friendly, fun, and made sure the Photo Booth ran smoothly all evening. Our guests loved it and were thrilled to take home their photos as keepsakes!

Both Craig and Paula were a joy to work with and truly contributed to the magic of our special day. If you're looking for a DJ who is talented, reliable, and genuinely invested in your celebration, we highly recommend Craig. And don’t skip the Photo Booth—it was a huge hit! Thank you both so much!

Marda Loop Brewery has Trivia night each week on Tuesday's. We've been going the past year now & must compliment the husband & wife team who DJ the weekly event. Paula & Craig are absolutely OUTSTANDING!! They exude such great vibes, keep the trivia fun & interesting!!! ALWAYS a fabulous FUN cohesive few hours that include family members of all ages when out on the spacious heated patio. We look forward to going each time!!! Awesome couple to boot!!!

We had Niko as our DJ at our Stampede Breakfast in Airdrie, and he was amazing to work with! Would totally recommend him for any event to keep the party going and the energy high. He checked in with us several times throughout the event to ensure everything was going smoothly and asked if we had any requests (love!). Our client was beyond pleased.

Thanks, Niko!

Editing to add: They were happy to accommodate our lack of power as well. This was a HUGE relief after another DJ company we had looked into as an option let us know it wouldn't be possible.

Hired Sounds Unlimited for our wedding and couldn’t be happier with their service. We had DJ Craig and Paula operating the photo booth and couldn’t be happier with how well everything went. Definitely get the package with the photo booth, you will not regret it! Thanks to Craig, Paula and James.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Pioneer on 8th, and I can’t say enough about how impressive it is! The space is thoughtfully designed, offering three different levels that cater to a variety of needs and events. Whether you're looking for an intimate setting for a smaller gathering or a larger area to accommodate a crowd, this venue has it all.

The accessibility is top-notch, with an elevator making it easy for everyone to navigate the space comfortably. The location is also incredibly convenient, making it simple for guests to find and enjoy.

What truly stands out is the hospitality—the team goes above and beyond to make sure every detail is taken care of, leaving you feeling welcomed and valued. If you’re planning an event, I highly recommend checking out The Pioneer on 8th! It’s a perfect combination of style, functionality, and warm service."

We had our wedding ceremony at the Garret and a cocktail-style wedding reception at the Pioneer in February 2024 and everything was perfect. Great communication and support leading up to our big day and execution on the day of was flawless.

Both venues have such great vibes on their own that we really didn't need to do much from a decor perspective, and opted to just enhance the buildings' incredible features with lighting, florals and candles - though the possibilities are truly endless. We received feedback from our guests (many from out of town) that the location was great as it was easily accessible and it was fun to be right in the action on Stephen Avenue.

The service from the SugarWater team on the bar was excellent - though we had a crowd of big drinkers there was never a line at the bar and our guests loved not only the craft cocktails but the really thoughtful selection of wines and local beers and seltzers.

We would highly, highly recommend the Pioneer for a wedding or any other event, celebration or gathering. Thank you to the whole team!

On June 11 Epilepsy Association of Calgary hosted 130 guests, performers, artists and event volunteers and at its inaugural Purple Day by Night fundraising gala at The Pioneer. This was such a special night and the venue itself added to the magic of a bustling late spring evening on Stephen Avenue. Guests and event volunteers were pleased with all aspects of the event and we've booked the venue for 2023. Thank you Heather Coke and team for your patience and helpful guidance in making our night a success!

It was an absolute pleasure to provide technology for a private event for XERO here! Plenty of available circuits with good ampage, accommodating staff (particularly Wyatt), and reasonably good loading dock access (given it's downrown). Would be happy to work here again; thanks, folks! :)

Invited here for a live music event that turned out to be much more than we all thought it would be. We thought we were going to see four musicians play their sets, but instead for a musicians sat facing each other told a series of stories and then rift off each other for the entire evening in a delightful and experiential entertainment event. It's a beautiful space and I look forward to my next visit and Calgary to see what they might be hosting then.

We had a wonderful celebration there for my brother’s wedding, and everything was absolutely perfect. The service was amazing — especially Noura, who is such an incredible person! She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was just right. We truly appreciate her kindness, professionalism, and care. Thank you for making this special day unforgettable!

I stayed at this hotel and was really happy with my experience.
Sunny is the great in management and so politely The service was excellent – the staff were friendly, professional, and always ready to help. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-organized, providing a relaxing atmosphere.

The food was also great. Breakfast was fresh and offered a good variety, and the dinner was delicious and well-prepared, showing real attention to quality.

Overall, this hotel stands out for its service, cleanliness, and food. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant stay.

We recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at White Diamond, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The venue is beautifully designed, offering a warm and elegant atmosphere perfect for both intimate and larger celebrations. The staff were incredibly attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly.

The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the menu! From the planning process to the big day, the team made everything stress-free and seamless.

Highly recommend this place for both dining and special events. A truly memorable experience!

Awesome! I had an amazing experience at this Middle Eastern restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavors and perfectly prepared. The restaurant itself is spacious, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal with family or friends.

Another great thing is the location—it’s almost in the city center, making it easy to find. Plus, there’s plenty of parking nearby, so there are no issues with parking at all.

Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves great Arabic food and a welcoming atmosphere!

Had our wedding reception at White Diamond. The best thing was the food, 10/10. Adam the owner is very kind and has an amazing culinary background.
Issues we encountered - All service and business integrity related.
-We had roughly 200 guests and there were only 1-2 servers on the floor, our contract said there would be minimum 8 servers. No one to serve us any drinks either (bride and groom), had to get our own family members to bring us drinks
-Bar line ups were very long, 3 bartenders but looked like they were in training and very inefficient
-Tables were not cleared after dinner, 200 dirty plates were left on tables all night
-They tried blaming us for their old, malfunctioned elevator that none of our guests could use from the start during the entire event. They did not give our security deposit back for over a month overdue as the contract stated security deposit to be returned 2 weeks after event. After we questioned them and put out our witnesses/facts then we finally got our deposit back from one of the other employees who was very helpful. (We were sending emails and texts for over a month while getting ignored on this topic)

This is the constructive feedback I have for White Diamond. It is important to keep communication and integrity with a client to keep a business relationship on a high note.
Our wedding was very successful because of the heart and months of planning we put into it but the service could have been better.

I'm Austrian and visited this wonderful restaurant. I'm simply overwhelmed by how authentic it is. The food was perfect, and the waiters were extremely friendly. It made me feel at home.
Sincerely, Gregor

I’m sure that I have not been to a better place to have a private dining room and traditional food experience
But wait you can choose from the Danish menu from the Mermaid Inn or take in some local Austrian favourites.
Weiner Schnitzel anyone?

I drive here from out of town and it never disappoints! The atmosphere is warm and traditional. My friend and I started with a pretzel that was perfect for sharing. I loved the cheese spaetzle and my friend said the schnitzel was outstanding. For dessert, the apple strudel and cherries jubilee were both delicious. I love that the chef is actually Austrian. Totally recommend for anyone craving genuine Austrian comfort food.

Na, Servus! Visited this place on a quick trip to Calgary, which is a must for us every time we go! Our waitress was great and super friendly. We lived in Austria for a couple years, and this food is so authentic and delicious. You can tell there are many regulars who frequent this place. It’s a little out of the way, but worth the trip!
We had the goulash, assorted salads and Wienerschnitzel with potatoes, and Jägerschnitzel with Spätzle and gravy. Lecker!! We wanted to have dessert but ran out of room! 😁

Long overdue!

I often sneak away from work to have lunch here whenever I get the chance. I love the food, the atmosphere, and the exceptional service so much that I even convinced my company to host our holiday party here, and it was a hit! Despite all that, I kept forgetting to leave a review. Shame on me.

Well, here it is:

• The food is absolutely to die for.

• The service is exceptional (special thanks to Harry and Stephanie, they are the best).

• The decor is charming.

• The prices are very reasonable.

This place is a hidden gem… do yourself a favor and discover it!

Held my wedding here. My husband, family, and guests were all blown away by how cool this venue was. The staff were extraordinarily professional, friendly, and accommodating.

Here are some pictures of our first dance centered on the beautiful star inlay in the middle of the dance floor.

One of my favourite venues in Montreal. The decor and history take you back to a time where live entertainment was all we had.
The drinks and bar staff are fantastic!
Go see a show here!

Candle Night experience: it was great.. but a bit pricy! The place, the Jazz band, the set up with all the candles: such a lovely and romantic ambiance! Loved it!! But I would say that it was a bit pricy for exactly a 60min set (and the singer talked a lot between songs to tell us story which was great though). I wish they extend a bit the duration...that's it. But other than that, I highly recommend to live the experience!

Great place and great concert. The Aperol spritz had just the taste. I asked to fill with more Aperol. Thanks.

Saw the best stand-up comedy show there, the beautiful setting amplified a great show.

Just had our wedding their this past weekend! Loved the layout of the venue. The manager, Kayla, is incredibly attentive, responsive, and accommodating. We had a lot of unique features to our wedding but Kayla and her staff were able to accommodate them all. The chef and staff are also incredibly kind and talented-- loved the set up our reception and ceremony, and the food was also great and very friendly for guests with allergy. Pricing is also very reasonable and love the location-- very convenient!

We recently had our wedding here! From the initial meeting, all the way to our wedding the Croatian Centre was amazing to work with. Kayla and her team really went above and beyond to make our day extra special. From having very particular requests from certain family members, the Croatian Centre was able to accommodate and make our lives easy. My husband and I could not be more grateful for everything they did for our special day.
I cannot thank and recommend them enough!

It was great working with them on my wedding day. Everything was smooth and as perfect and detailed as I wanted.

Also, the manager is so organized and was so communicative as well as responsive whenever I needed.

And their catering was so good that all the guests left with a positive comment.

Just recently had my wedding here and the staff, location and manager Kayla were amazing to deal with!!!! They made our room look amazing, the food was incredible and had so many positive feedback from family and friends of how wonderful the place was and how great the food tasted......definitely will recommend the Croatian Canadian Cultural Center to anyone looking for a venue in the future

We had our wedding reception at the Croatian Canadian Cultural Centre recently and I highly recommend it!! The Centre has beautiful decorations, fantastic food, and the staff was outstanding. Kayla was my main point of contact and she was incredibly helpful, easy to talk to, accommodating, and patient as she helped us sort out everything from decorations to picking out our food for our special day. She was also present the day of to make sure everything ran smoothly! We had a small hiccup the day of our wedding and Kayla was incredibly accommodating. She made planning and day of so easy for me! If you are looking for your venue for your wedding, look no further as this is the perfect place to have your wedding!

There is truly no venue in Toronto like Fantasy Farm. Nestled across from Todmorden Mills, this fairytale-like banquet hall is surrounded by lush forest and natural beauty — it felt like we were getting married in the heart of the Canadian North, yet we were conveniently minutes from the Danforth with plenty of parking for guests.

From the very beginning, the staff made our planning process feel easy and stress-free. Gus and Marc guided us with their deep experience and approachable, down-to-earth nature, helping us visualize our day and make thoughtful decisions. The food tasting was not only helpful but really helped us “feel” the wedding coming together — and the food itself was amazing.

On the day of, Jeremy was calm, warm, and completely on top of every detail. He helped lead our families through the ceremony and reception with grace and understanding, allowing us to truly relax and be present. The team was incredibly accommodating during setup, and the rollout of the food and events throughout the evening was absolutely seamless.

Our day couldn’t have been more perfect. The natural, homey atmosphere suited our artistic vibe beautifully. Many guests commented that it felt like a getaway to a cottage — but better. We feel so lucky to have chosen Fantasy Farm. If you're looking for a unique, serene, and well-run venue in the city, this is it. Best choice we made for our big day.

Fantasy Farm Event Venue – A Dream Spot for Weddings!
I recently shot a wedding at Fantasy Farm and absolutely loved it. The greenery, rustic charm, and quiet location make it perfect for romantic, natural photos. The indoor space has great lighting and a warm vibe. Highly recommend for couples looking for a peaceful venue right in Toronto!

We had our wedding at Fantasy Farm 2 days ago. Everything was simply amazing. Everyone who attended was very happy with the service, the food, and how good the staff was about being timely but never getting in the way! Gus and Jeremy were extremely helpful throughout the process and they are very transparent. After being in many venues and talking to the service industry people for so long, we truly appreciated a fresh proper human interaction with them. They are very accommodating and helped us pretty much with anything we needed. Hopefully I don't have to ever get married again, but if I would I would do it there any day.

My husband and I were married at Fantasy Farm back on October 14th... of 2022. Haha, I feel awful for not doing a review earlier, but hey! We're finally getting around to it.

The phrase "Hidden Gem" perfectly describes Fantasy Farm. In the middle of Toronto this is a beautiful lush event space that is extremely well run. We had our wedding here in the larger room and had an amazing experience. Firstly the garden ceremony was gorgeous with the flowers all in bloom and the greenery all around. The ballroom was also beautiful. Gus worked with us to set up our details and Jeremy and Mark executed everything on the day of. The way everyone at FF worked with us before and during the wedding was professional and really help us feel at ease. From the ceremony to the BBQ dinner, everything ran on time and the whole staff worked hard to make sure all the guests were comfortable. Many of my friends and family have dietary restrictions and allergies and this was one of the only event venues I have ever been to where they took such personal care for all of them, making sure not only the menu was set up to accommodate them, but also on the day of they went around to each person to make sure they had the right meal and to answer any questions they had. Days after we kept having friends and family rave about how beautiful the whole evening was.

Love the place , need a little taking care of the arcades when stupid people don't respect the machines . I have seen people hiting the pinball or arcade so they can break them .

Besides that staff is beautiful and amazing 👏 . Love the idea that they make targ beer and it's so less expensive than budweiser.

Way to go targ ;)

Been a active player since 8 years now .

Stumbled upon House of TARG while staying in Ottawa, so glad we did. Free Play pinball and arcade games on Sunday with a live DJ playing 80s music with a dancefloor. Really friendly staff, great mix of all ages playing games. Had a blast, we hope to be b back again next time we're in Ottawa.

Great spot! We attended for a free play family time and had a blast. Very nostalgic. Targ beer was great. I'll have to come back for live music at night

Everyone, including customers, are always super friendly. I have never had a bad experience coming here.

I do find it can get a bit pricey (food, game and beverages) if you don't attend on a freeplay night/time. The perogies are delicious though.

I had heard good things about the house of TARG, how it's a staple in Ottawa and such, but was honestly disappointed. The place feels cramped even with 20 people around the stage listening to the live music.

The tickets for live music were expensive (20$) in my opinion, made worse by the fact that they take cash only at the door, so you're gonna have to pay surcharge at the on-site ATM if not prepared. Strange expectation in today's world to operate a cash-only business. The artists in the concert was excellent, talented and funny, but the sound quality and acoustics in the venue were beyond horrible. I felt bad for the artists.

The food looked good, but I can't imagine how they justify selling perogies for 22$ + tax + tip when it's a poverty meal that took Polish people through wartimes. The profit margin on it is around 1900% which is just insane. The arcade games cost around 2$ each, which again isn't exactly cheap, but perhaps justified for antique/legacy games. Their free-play nights for 12.50 sound like a good deal though!

Overall, it was a checklist item for me to see the place but I don't think I'd ever go again.

We went to see ABBA Mania on a Wednesday night and the place was packed. The cast and the entire crew are amazing, the singing was excellent and it was fun throughout. I definitely want to visit again!,,

If you are already planning to go out for dinner, for a slightly more cost per person at a normal restaurant you can enjoy a 3hr show. The value is more than worth it. Great food, awesome energy from the staff, it is an amazing experience. Definitely go and treat yourself, you won't regret it

I'm not going to say that this is first class food or Broadway level musicals; but, it's pretty damn good entertainment and value for money you spend.

Unlike the other dinner theater, it's table service and considering they are serving 400 people all at once, each course comes out fresh, tasty, hot and with an in character server adding some sass and flare.

I've enjoyed every time I have gone, so enjoy the experience.

First time ever going, was very fun! The staff are amazing, and extremely talented. They even made this little sign for my parent’s anniversary. Highly recommend experiencing this!

We were at Top Gunn 2 a Supersonic Spoof, and I laughed so much. The voices in the music were so powerful and pitch perfect! Especially the song Alone by Captain Poppy and Captain Loon the band Heart would have been proud! Our server Bonnie Bolt was engaging, friendly, excellent and actually made the show even better! Even hearing the other characters around the theatre, they were incredible. Whatever they are being paid, it isn't enough! Thanks Jubilations for delivering such an excellent experience!

The ad is so misleading!! Booked for a Candlelight concert which looked beautiful in pictures. Selected the best seats possible (A section). The ambiance was nothing like what was shown on the website.
The musicians saved the day because the music was amazing, but the experience felt cheap.

Top picture is the ad, bottom pic is reality.

Had such a blast on the Valentine's jazz night.
It's pretty sad to have to rate four stars instead of five for some of small things during it.

First of all, the food, the staff, the band, the singer, the wine, atmosphere, location, everything I mentioned above is beyond AMAZING! No complaints on those at all.

Sadly I didn't quite enjoy the cocktails so much, we ordered two different cocktails and neither of them can step up with our high expectations, with the price and all the good things I mentioned above.

For sure this place is perfect for special occasions, as it's a fancy place to dine, behind and inside of an old church. That part I think it's brilliant!

The toilets are quite limited as it's inside the old church but it was not packed at all so I don't find this a negative thing.

In summary, best fancy place for live music, food, wine selections not so much for cocktails (in my opinion) OR maybe if you try different cocktails it would have been better. Still recommended!

Beautiful experience ! We had an amazing time; The show including singing and dancing was the most amazing. Food and drinks were delicious and the service was very attentive and fast ! Shout out to our server Aisha ! We are looking forward to attend more events at this beautiful chic venue.

I had the absolute pleasure of attending Brunch Gospel with Michelle Sweeney and the Gospel Tribe at the Balcon on the 28th, and it was an unforgettable experience! The food was really good but the highlight for me was the music. Michelle Sweeney and the Gospel Tribe delivered performances that were nothing short of electrifying. It was a good way to enjoy great food while being uplifted by incredible live gospel music.

This place is in the former chapel of the St. James church (I have been told). Just fabulous. The gospel choir is outstanding, the eggs Benedict were very enjoyable and Norman, our waiter, was great!

Great little spot for live music! It’s a small venue, but the sound quality was surprisingly good, and you can see the band up close—no bad seats in the house. Perfect for an intimate concert experience.

Awesome spot for grabbing a beer and watching the monthly Kino films. Wall artwork as you walk up the stairs is super cool and groovy. Has a room to the left when you get to the second floor with seats so you can chill with your friends, and a bar to the right, with the main area straight ahead that has the stage. Not sure if they have Jameson’s or not, if they don’t they should. They probably do. Not sure about food. Anyways the only reason I give it 4 and not 5 stars is there was one of the first few times I went that the server did not give good service and really seemed upset/angry to be there so that kinda soured an otherwise good night. I haven’t seen her since though so maybe she is happier doing something else now. Will update after some more visits, 5 stars is not out of the question if further visits are good and the staff continue to have good service and energy.

This is an awesome live music club that supports local talent. It is located right above Zak's Diner, so there is always an option to order food!! Service is fantastic. Ear plugs are available on-site for a very small fee. As it is located on the upper floor, there are stairs. No elevator on site. #local guide

I’ve been to LIVE! on Elgin for a few different events and try to make it there at least once a month. It’s a versatile space ideal for concerts and dance parties. If you’re looking for a fun night out, tasty cocktails and a great space, check them out. They also have a party room which adds a nice little element to the space!

They throw a mean dance party, and it's a great little spot for live music too. There's always something affordable happening, a new local band to check out, a fun cocktail to try. I keep an eye on their instagram for whatever is coming up!

A beautiful flat area that all ages can walk around in. There are plenty of beautiful places to take Fall Colour Photos.

It is completely free to come and enjoy and the parking is not far away.

I would imagine that this place would be perfect for either family portraits or wedding photos too.

Beautifully hidden outside of fish Creek park.

Nice espresso, baked treats and frozen eats.

Plenty of parking and bicycle racks

Absolutely loved DJing here. Warm, intimate, inviting. There’s a special kind of energy down there in fish creek. And the hardwood floor is great for dancing!

Great location and beautiful surroundings! Loved this location for the Candlelight series. This is a beautiful and intimate space for such an amazing experience. Very clos to Bow Valley Ranche Restaurant to have a bite before or after.

Our family hosted a wedding here and we were delighted with the ambiance, set up and service. Very happy. Location is amazing. Would have given 5 stars. A bit disappointed however with the bathroom situation. Only 3 restroom stalls - one men's and 2 women's. One of the women's stalls was out of service and so the door was just locked and no one to fix it. Created lines waiting for the restroom. The odor coming from them created a not-so welcoming addition to the entrance to the venue but I'm sure it will all be rectified after the long weekend. All in all, we enjoyed the venue and the beautiful ambiance it created for the wedding.

Here for a free concert at the Wood Terrace. Outdoors on a beautiful summer night listening to a super fun Cape Breton group. Thank you NAC, this is so very special. Love the small feel in the middle of the city.

Spacious, well lite, modern building housing an impressive, well arranged collection. Each piece, not only has information about the artist and date, but a back story to help understand the work. Lots of washrooms and handicap ramps.
Excellent locker and coat check with friendly, polite staff. Well worth a few hours to stroll around and admire a variety of art forms.

Attend a concert that was part of the free summer series concert. Very enjoyable. The concert took place on the terrace outside overlooking the canal. Bring picnic chairs.

Does anyone remember Classic Bookshops which was located in NAC after it opened? They also had a section for French books which was La Librairie de la Capitale. I have not been to NAC in ages! But these bookshops were really nice.
(The beautiful photo is Anaïs Nin. NAC had the majority of her books in stock.)

Great spot to catch all varieties of shows. Got to experience the National HS Improv championships firsthand. What a stellar event and kudos to the NAC for staging such a beneficial experience.

Old port Montreal, an amazing place to visit if you are going to Montreal, the summer vibe was at the full swing and people are so nice and friendly the variety of food outlet and other shops were just too good. One can enjoy the live music at most of the streets with amazing musician and playing with even the old forgotten instruments, the desert shops is another plus. Great time to spend and its all on foot.

Great place to visit and enjoy several fun activities like boating, zip lining, Ferris wheel, etc. The seating area beside the river is super scenic. Designated paid parking is available just beside the river area for 35 dollars.

A nice place to visit all year round. Ride on the ferris wheel is a great experience.

The information and interactive part of the exposition was great. I recommend going after 3pm or even on a weekend because when I went there was multiple schools groups there. The unpleasant part is when the kids would cut infront of the other people. All in all, an interesting exposition.

Very beautiful place. It would give you european vibes. There are lot of summer activities going on which you can enjoy. Must try the wheel and you will get the whole city view. There are many cute patios around to eat.

Every year, our community hosts its annual party at this incredible event center, and I can’t speak highly enough of it. In fact, I was so impressed by the venue that I chose it for my own wedding—and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I made. The affordability is a major plus, especially considering the quality and range of amenities offered. The halls are beautifully designed with a sleek, modern aesthetic, and the space includes a stage that’s perfect for performances, speeches, or entertainment.
Beyond the decor and layout, the venue is fully equipped to handle all aspects of event hosting, including catering services. And let me tell you—the food is absolutely phenomenal. It was the standout feature of my wedding, with guests still talking about how delicious everything was. The catering is not only top-notch in taste and presentation but also reasonably priced, which makes it even more appealing.
Overall, this venue truly offers a comprehensive solution for any kind of gathering, whether it’s a wedding, party, or corporate event. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish, functional, and budget-friendly place to host their special occasion.

I was at an event that rented the space and it was such an amazing venue! Comfortable but spacious, beautiful architecture inside honestly. I wondered why I hadn't been to an event there before or even known it was an option. If you're looking for a space with a nice dance floor for your next event absolutely consider the Polish Canadian Cultural Centre

My wife and I held our wedding reception in the new Combatants hall in May of 2025. Prices here are quite reasonable, and Krzysztof and Elizabeth were both very helpful and accommodating. We made many last minute changes and had many requests that made the event more complicated for the venue. They were very patient and accommodating right through to the end of the event, checking in with me periodically to make sure everything was going smoothly. I would recommend the Polish Centre to anyone in need of an upscale venue to hosting an event.

My wife and I had our wedding reception in the Combatants Hall last summer and we were very pleased with everything. We received tons of compliments about the food and decor. The dance floor was a great size and the hall accommodated 120+ people without issue. Krzysztof was great to deal with and helped us with planning so everything went smoothly. I highly recommend checking this venue out if you're looking for a reception hall.

We cannot say enough great things about Krzysztof and the incredible team at the Polish Cultural Centre! From start to finish, their professionalism, dedication, and seamless communication made planning our wedding reception an absolute joy. Every question we had was promptly answered, ensuring we felt confident and stress-free leading up to our big day.

The venue itself was fantastic—spacious, elegant, and perfect for hosting a celebration that will be remembered for years to come. But what truly set this experience apart was the phenomenal food (Renata & Magdalena, BAR service (Leszek, Servers & Kitchen team)! Our guests were delighted by the delicious menu, and we can confidently say that everyone left feeling full and satisfied.

A special shoutout to the kitchen team (Renata, Magdalena, Teresa) who went above and beyond to keep everything organized, ensuring smooth service throughout the evening. Their efficiency allowed us to fully enjoy our celebration without worrying about logistics.

If you are looking for an exceptional venue with outstanding service, great pricing, and a team that genuinely cares about making your event unforgettable, look no further than the Polish Cultural Centre. Thank you for a truly wonderful experience—we will enthusiastically recommend this venue to others!

Marta & Kyle – May 2025

I attended my niece’s bridal shower at this venue on May 25th, 2025 and it was such a wonderful experience that I felt the need to write a review. I was so impressed with the beautiful renovations that were done to this iconic building that has been around for many years-it’s a must see. The staff were amazing-professional and so kind and helpful. The owners were also present at the event. They tended to our every need and were a major contributor to the success of the event! I was blown away with the artistic presentation of the food and it was just as tasty and delicious as it was presented 😋 The newly renovated spaces, the great quality of food and exceptional service is a hidden gem on Preston. I highly recommend this place-you will love it!

I've been to two conferences here, with no complaints. The food was quite good, the sound system was excellent, and very well laid out, with a breakout room.

If you like this review, please give it a thumbs up.

We had our wedding here this month and I cannot say enough great things about the venue and the staff. They were extremely responsive, helped us every step of the way including accommodating our every request the night of. Abbas was extremely present throughout the evening, not only checking in on the bride and groom but every room in the venue ensuring guests were taken care of. They communicated with our vendors to make the day run smoother and allowed us access to the venue prior to the event to add our own finishing touches. The food was incredible, and Yousef was extremely accommodating by adding any items we wanted to the menu. The renovations they've done really make the whole space pop. I highly recommend contacting them for any event.

The guys took amazing care of the entire event would recommend this place to everyone for any event. The food was fantastic and they took care of all of our requests with no stress

Attended a charity event at the Preston event center last week, the venue is splendid, food was exceptional, and the service was stellar. I haven’t heard about this place before but I was greatly surprised ! A great event center, near downtown with parking !! I will definitely reach out to them if I have any event coming up !

Such a gorgeous venue! I was here for a "candlelight concert" featuring music from the LOTR and Game of Thrones soundtracks played by an exceptional string quartet. I highly recommend that you experience such a show if you can. It's not always the same music though but you will likely find a concert that suits your taste.

The interior is very nice and spacious and the atmosphere is perfect. The sound is also very good, so is the view on the main floor. However, on the second floor, the view is quite obstructed. We had the first row balcony seats which were second most expensive, however, the balcony barrier is very high with a metal bar across so you have to lean forward non stop to be able to see. I don't know how people above the second row were able to see anything. Also , the bar was disappointing as their drink menu is very limited, pricey, small and served in single use paper cups.

Stairs are intense

I'm struggling with an injury and I was disappointed that I found no elevator or electric staircase.
I recognize it's an old building but I believe an respectable establishment should be, nowadays able to accommodate everyone.
Sound was good.
Bar was fast and offered simple drinks.

Amazing 1920’s theater!! We went for “candle light concert tribute to ABBA !! The location could not be better for this romantic evening concert!! The ceilings were spectacular and keep in good condition and the view from the balcony could not be better!! Of course the concert was as expected..amazing

Went to see a comedy show the flower Tour with Josh Johnson a N.O,USA native very compelling and laughed continually. the seats are wooden chairs close knit to fill the place up the picturesque site is unique and bar and reception excellent.

Full of Canadian and American music, musician information, history, clothing, instrumental artifacts, interactive exhibits, and visuals, all set in an incredibly cleverly designed architectural experience. Check out senior prices on Wednesdays. Parking is nearby in a parkade. You can quickly purchase tickets at the front desk and move through the exhibit at your pace. We found two hours was plenty.

Glad to have tried this place on free admission day with toddlers. Cool space with multiple floors. You can try out various instruments. I would say if you’ve got toddlers you might as well just go to Long & McQuade until they are older as there isn’t much else for them here so you could save the entrance fee. Cool designs, general space, art, etc.

was blown away by the architecture, especially the fifth-floor view and 300-seat Performance Hall. It was one of the most amazing architectural experiences of my life! I was lucky to capture this beautiful artwork with my humble iPhone.

What an amazing place. Not only the building but the collection of music artifacts. 5 floors of amazing music items to look at read and watch. Try your hand at our of the many instruments. Guitar, drums, piano. Lots to read and enjoy. Easy parking right beside the studio. We spent clse to 3 hours because we took our time reading doing lots. Washrooms on every floor.

Beautiful building. Interesting exhibits. But marred by many interactive exhibits not working and a definite lack of enthusiasm among the staff. Missing a number of regions such as Newfoundland.
