Wedding Reception

This hotel hyped this venue up way too much for my liking. My Aunt decided to throw her 55th birthday party at venue twenty two this past weekend and it turned out disastrous! The dinner before the actual party which was at The Shore Club restaurant was awful, everyone who ordered the steak dinner ended up with what I’m assuming to be food poisoning because they all had to run to the washroom multiple times throughout the night. There were also finger foods that were prepared for the party that the staff put out way too early after the dinner(this was an invite only party so the guest that were at the dinner were the same guest to attend the party) and it ended up going to waste for the most part because it was only 15-20 mins after everyone went upstairs that the food went out. To top it off the staff ended up packing up all of the food because then they decided it was “left out too long” which is understandable, but the point being was that the food should have not been brought out until later that evening that way everyone could have enjoyed it. The staff also treated the attending DJ horribly as they kept telling him to turn the music down in a room which advertised to be “soundproof”. We didn’t want the music blasting, but loud enough for us to be able to enjoy it in a room that size. We weren’t able to hear it because they continuously interrupted the DJ telling him to turn it down Needless to say the money that was spent on this party went to waste and I do not recommend renting this venue after the way we were treated. Do better Westin, this was very disappointing.

We recently hosted our wedding at Venue Twenty Two. We can’t express enough how perfectly the service was orchestrated by the Westin. The food was delicious and served in a timely manner! The venue is beyond beautiful. The floor to ceiling windows offered amazing views of downtown Ottawa and the sunset was breathtaking from up there! Our coordinator was Kayla Camus leading up to the event and Mariam on the day of. They were both so professional, organized and answered my many many questions promptly! Thank you both so much! We would recommend the Westin/Venue Twenty Two to any future brides/grooms!

Wonderful venue, recently attended a cocktail reception in this space, located on the 22nd floor of the Westin Ottawa. There are wrap around windows with expansive views of the city, highlighted by the Parliament Buildings and the Fairmont Chateau Laurier. The bartenders and service staff were friendly and efficient with serving guests and I noticed that they were extra diligent in keeping the room tidy throughout the event. This is an excellent choice for business and personal functions!

Beautiful conference room with breath taking views of Ottawa and stunning sunset. Elegance and always pleased with Westin services. I love the fragrances and always purchase some for my home.

Really cool venue with a great view of downtown Ottawa. We had our work Christmas party there (apps and drinks) food and service was great. The 270° view of ottawa was breathtaking.

Waterfront was a great choice for our day, we are very happy we chose this venue. Jade was great and thought of everything we needed. She helped us make sure the day ran smoothly and gave us lots of helpful tips. The staff was great at setting up the venue. The florals and decor provided by the venue was exactly what I wanted. The few things that didn't go perfectly, Simply Elegant made up for in a professional and timely manner. Would absolutely recommend this venue for any wedding!

Beautiful Spot, Slightly Off on Service Timing
Waterfront Park is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the views. The atmosphere is great, and overall, I had a really nice time. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because I went to the bar at 5:28, and was asked to come back at 5:30. It felt a bit rigid considering it was just a 2-minute difference. Other than that, it was a great experience and I’d still recommend it!

I cannot recommend Waterfront Parks enough. Peter and Jade went well above and beyond, helping us plan a short notice wedding (we booked less than three months prior to the date in an effort to minimize covid related changes), navigating trying times, and providing unparalleled service. Jade is even pictures in our wedding photos adjusting my dress prior to walking down the isle, and Peter met us on the limo bus to help "hide" me from the guests prior to the service. They were like family throughout the process and I honestly don't think we would have pulled off the wedding of our dreams without them. The venue is stunning, location is ideal, the food was delicious (and catered to all sorts of weird dietary issues), and the decor was spot on. If you're thinking about booking waterfront parks with simply elegant, stop thinking and book it. You won't regret it!

Our son’s wedding was at the Waterfront Park Apr. 29th, it was absolutely amazing. The location is breathtaking even in early Spring, just imagine how stunning it will be in the summer…. Also included with the rental of the location is full set up and take down. The flowers were absolutely amazing. The staff from start to finish were so amazing, very responsive, very accommodating, and showed that they really care and want the best for their customers. I only added a picture of the brides bouquet as all of our other pictures have our guests in them, so sadly am not able to add any of the pictures to show how beautiful everything was set up for our son and now wife’s wedding day. The whole time there was magical. Everyone that attended was so impressed. Thank you

Had an event at the tent here. Amazing venue, tons of parking, friendly staff. Only downside we had access to only two bathrooms which with 100 people wasn’t ideal but made it work.

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.

During a 10,000-mile North America road tour, IQtargets Art Museum of Human Goals' curator visited the Canadian Geographic and Royal Canadian Geographical Society. (RCGS) to invite participation in and discuss the "Portrait of a Nation" artwork, I can suggest the place as an ideal destination for family visits.
Education, learning, art, sightseeing, cinema, and even a hall are all available in this space.
The exhibition, titled PRESSURE: James Cameron into the Abyss, is free. 50 Sussex Drive is nestled amidst architectural gems in the heart of the city, with parking readily accessible. The venue accommodates special needs with doors at the bottom, maintains clean toilets, provides an elevator, and boasts a friendly and supportive staff. For younger visitors aged 6-12, there are tailored education programs. Guided tours, a park zone, and prompt decision-making.
Special appreciation for Mr.John Geiger and Tatiana 🇺🇦 for commissioning an amazing artifact, a map of the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada, starting at the end of the 18th century to today. It is a gesture of support by the RCGS for Ukraine.
Best regards,
And welcome to enjoy Canada Royal Geographical Society

@iqtargets_art

Worth the short stop to see the Challenger exhibit about James Cameron's trip to the bottom of the ocean, Challenger Deep. Open until Sept 1st. Also, just a great location next to Rideau Falls and a wonderful view across the river to Quebec.

Awesome location that overlooks the falls and Ottawa River! Beautiful spot inside and great for hosting events. Gotta check this place out.

A beautiful location on the Ottawa River and nearby Rideau Falls. With lots of scenic decks and floor to ceiling windows it made for one of the nicest wedding locations i have ever been to. The meal was easily the best I have had at a wedding also!

Can't wait for this amazing venue to officially open!
Thank you RCGS for breathing new life into this amazing Ottawa landmark!

We recently had our wedding here on July 6, 2024, and I could not say more great things about it. Everything from the coordination and communication to the beautiful property and charming venue - everything was absolutely amazing. Adelina Barn will always have a special place in our hearts.

As a wedding photographer, Adelina is one of my favourite countryside barn venues that's just a short drive from downtown Ottawa. The property is absolutely beautiful and is a great blend of elegant and rustic. Highly recommend Adelina for any couples looking for a barn venue that's more upscale.

Just married! Such a special experience at the Adelina Barn for our wedding. The venue was absolutely gorgeous, and all of the recommended vendors were excellent. The host was so calm and reassuring, and her and the rest of the staff were so friendly, communicative and organized! Would 10/10 recommend.

My partner and I recently (July 19, 2025) got married at Adélina and were so happy with our experience! The venue was so beautiful (the gardens in July are amazing!), the staff were incredibly kind (catering done by Thyme & Again), and the whole day felt seamless (or as seamless as a wedding day can be baring a few minor hiccups - nothing to do with Adélina!) from start to finish. Michèle, the venue coordinator, and her team were helpful, organized, and supportive in the lead-up and on the big day itself. We had several calls with her to sort out details big and small and the Aisle Planner tool she uses is immensely helpful! Our guests had a blast, and we feel so lucky to have celebrated in such a beautiful and well-run space. Highly recommend!

We celebrated our daughter's wedding here on June 23rd & it was absolutely magical. Such a beautiful venue, on a spectacular piece of land. Thank you for sharing your space with our family, on this very special occasion.

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!

A little late in writing this, as my husband and I wanted to take the time to find the right words to describe our incredible experience with Bean Town.

We were married here on August 25th, 2024, and our wedding day was everything we had hoped for—and more. From start to finish, the team at Bean Town made it all possible.

From the moment we began planning, the coordination with the Bean Town team was seamless. Caroline was absolutely amazing—patient, attentive, and always ready to answer our questions. Geneviève was so kind and understanding, bringing a calming presence on the wedding day. Meagan was also wonderful to work with, helping with planning and coordinating all the last-minute details. Before leaving, she even stopped by to check in with us personally to see if we needed anything before she left.

The bartenders were friendly, quick, and professional, and the chef even came to greet us during the cocktail hour, shared that he had been married at Bean Town himself, congratulated us, and brought us a drink—it was so sweet. Every member of the staff was incredibly attentive, making us feel cared for in every moment.

The entire team exceeded our expectations. Every detail was flawlessly executed, even the smallest details were anticipated. Because of them, we experienced a completely stress-free wedding day and were able to remain fully present in every moment.

The venue itself is breathtaking, but it was the people & staff who truly made the experience extraordinary.

Many of our family and friends told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended (even compared to their own!). Several even joked that they’d get married all over again just to do it at Bean Town.

We cannot thank the entire Bean Town team enough. Our wedding day was an absolute dream—one we still spend hours reminiscing about—and it’s all thanks to Bean Town Ranch & their team. 🤍

A Dream Come True Wedding!
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our special day. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcomed and cared for. The space was absolutely stunning: beautifully maintained, elegant, and full of charm. Every corner was photo-worthy, and the atmosphere felt both romantic and inviting.

The team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, from the ceremony to the last dance. They were organized, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making our wedding unforgettable. Our guests were blown away by the setting and are still raving about how gorgeous everything was!

My biggest stress throughout the day was the temperature. Unfortunately, on our wedding day, it was a rainy day, but with the positivity of the staff and the different options for ceremony, it did not feel like a rainy day! Rain or shine, Bean Town will make your guests and the newly weds feel comfortable!

As for Alisa, one of the wedding coordinators, she was by our side throughout the entire day! She helped with holding my drinks, holding my dress and staying on schedule with photos! It was amazing having her by our side.

Caro, also one of the wedding coordinators, was there to answer all my questions- and I had a lot of them! Truthfully thankful for those fast responses!

Genevieve, the owner, was our wedding officiant. I highly recommend having her as your officiant! It was honestly a one of a kind ceremony! She is full of passion, energy and the ceremony was quite unique!

Thank you for helping bring our vision to life and making our wedding day magical. We will forever be grateful! Our guests are still talking about it! We cannot stop thinking about this day and how we wished weddings were a two day celebration!❤️

Words can honestly not express how incredible this entire team and venue is. My husband and I were married here two weeks ago and we are still glowing from the amazing day we had.

Every single guest has told us they LOVED the day - that the venue was beautiful (which it is), the food was excellent, and that it was one of the best weddings they had been to.

We had our wedding on a Friday and so were lucky to be able to rent the Casa Mila and Casa Lucas houses for an extra night on the Thursday evening (note that this is only possible for Friday weddings) and I would 10/10 recommend this. I was able to have my hair and makeup vendors come out to the venue and get ready with my bridal party on site which made the morning SO much more relaxing. The Casa's are beautiful and we managed to have 16 guests (family and bridal party) stay there with us on the Thursday and Friday nights which made the experience feel even more special. Everyone was so impressed by the amenities and how spacious the houses were.

On our wedding day the entire team was flawless. The on-site day of co-ordinators set up the entire venue perfectly and had honestly thought of everything. Their organization and efficiency was so impressive and it really made the day so much more enjoyable and stress-free for all of us.

We used Genevieve as our officiant and she was amazing. Warm and kind and so professional. We loved the way she stood in the aisle so that our photographer could get photos of us on our own. Many of our guests commented that they enjoyed her delivery of the ceremony and we were so pleased.

Honestly, I could go on and on about how amazing the day was and all the things this team did for us. But really the crux of it is that we would wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend them as a wedding venue. Go for a tour and you'll see why for yourself!

We had such an incredible day at BeanTown and the entire staff were absolutely phenomenal. Absolutely every guest had an amazing time with spectacular reviews from the beauty of the location itself, the kindness of the staff, and the quality of the food. There were multiple surprises and little touches day of provided by the venue that we were not aware of making the day that much more special and fun! Getting ready at Casa Lucas was also so convenient, with a pathway out back leading right to the venue. Side note - comfiest sheets we have ever slept on. If we had to do it all again we would book this venue in a heartbeat, especially given how dog friendly the venue is and the fact the owners are allies in our love for Nickelback ;) Thank you to Guy, Genevieve, and the entire staff!

My wife and I recently had our wedding at Bean Town, and it’s truly impossible to put into words how incredible the entire experience was. From start to finish, the Bean Town team was exceptionally organized, thoughtful, and attentive to every detail. Everything was executed to absolute perfection.

This venue exceeded every expectation we had. It was more beautiful, more seamless, and more magical than anything we could have ever imagined. We are endlessly grateful to the entire team - not just for helping us pull off the wedding of our dreams, but for doing so with such care, passion, and professionalism.

We wholeheartedly recommend Bean Town to anyone considering it for their special day. We truly cannot imagine having our wedding anywhere else, and our guests are still raving about how stunning and memorable the day was.

“Thank you” doesn’t begin to express how we feel. We love you all so much - thank you for giving us the most perfect start to our life together.

Spectacular is the minimum you can say about this place. From the first impression of the exterior of the unique and charming restaurant to the minute you depart you know one thing, You're coming Back! The service is exceptional, never for one minute do you want for anything. Me and my wife were on vacation and ended our trip in Calgary and I decided we would try this restaurant based on their reviews. I expected a nice evening, but what we got was great ambiance, great food, large portions, expert presentation, great value, first class service and a new place to come every time we are in town. The Bow Valley Ranche is a must for anyone wanting to try Calgary's finest! A+! Btw: special thanks to Oskar for the best service in town!

Reserved a table for lunch and had a remarkable time. The restaurant was courteous and prompt with their staff being very attentive and kind.

Leading into wonderful food with a gorgeous view both in and around the wonderfully maintained historically significant building to the area.

We chose to be seated inside and the decor and atmosphere was both calm and quiet.

Now the food itself was also spectacular with rich flavours without any overbearing saltiness or any greasiness at all. The whole experience was great and the course was actually quite filling on top of it all!
This goes for all 4-5 dishes between my wife and I.

Took a nice walk to digest the food and enjoy the scenery with a quick trip through the native gardens leading to Annie’s cafe which in itself was a great lead up to a pleasant walk.

Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to start their morning off in Fish creek with pleasant food and mood.

Will be a staple for any future visits to Calgary

Absolutely adore this place! I took my husband here for his birthday a few months ago, and it was such a wonderful experience. The food, service, and atmosphere were simply amazing! I had the beef tenderloin, and I seriously have been thinking about it in my dreams. It is such a beautiful, historical building, making the ambience just impeccable. My husband and I were super full after our dinner, and we decided on not having a desert, and they even took the liberty of surprising us with a little plate of cakes! It was so sweet! My husband booked us our next visit for my birthday, which I’m counting down the days for! Thanks again for such a nice dining experience. We can’t wait to come back soon, and are looking forward to seeing the space in autumn.

We ordered the weekday lunch special. The salad dressing was amazing. For the second main dish, I chose the pork — it looked delicious, but unfortunately, it lacked flavor. There was some sauce on top, but it wasn’t enough. We asked the server for extra sauce, but he didn’t bring it. I didn’t want to eat my food cold, so we ended up asking for salt and pepper instead.

The dessert was good.

This restaurant is very popular, and I haven’t seen any other weekday special courses like this one. The price was very reasonable, but I was a little disappointed with the main dish.

The location is perfect — it was a great place for brunch with my best friend.

We went here to celebrate our anniversary, and really happy we did. It is an awesome place, the atmosphere is special and the service was amazing ❤️ We loved the food, the steak was delicious. I recommend this place, we had an amazing time there and would consider going again. We also received two pieces of cake as a compliment, it was unexpected and sweet!

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.

I am so glad I chose Canvas to celebrate my wedding ceremony and reception . Best decision ever. The place is just so beautiful, intimate and rustic. The menu was the best everyone loved it. So delicious. We loved working with Mike and his team. They are the best. Very professional. Mike we love you. Thank you for everything. If we could we would give 100 stars.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Canvas in October 2024 and couldn't have been happier with the experience. Beautiful space located near the canal, which was great for pictures. Food was very good, highly recommend any of the delicious canapés! We loved the unique bring your own alcohol option and the bartender John was awesome throughout the night. Can't say enough about how accommodating and caring Mike and his entire staff were throughout the evening and planning process. Prices are very reasonable and Mike is transparent and clearly outlines everything from the start. Overall we had an amazing time and would highly recommend Canvas!

We had our wedding there last week and it was absolutely amazing. From the food to the staff, everything exceeded our expectations. We received very positive feedback from our guests on the food. The venue is beautiful on its own, very unique. The planning also went smoothly as the manager is experienced and knew to reassure us. Thank you so much!!

My mom and I did a brunch and paint and had an amazing time! The two girls were so helpful, and the painting class was SO approachable! Having both never painted before we were worried but we both left we something we totally love! Can’t wait to do another class.

We just had our wedding ceremony and reception at Canvas Montreal two weeks ago, and we could have not been more satisfied! Mike, he was fantastic at realizing all of our wishes and working together to create a unique space for our wedding! Carmen, John (the bartender) and the two other staff members that day/night were equally fantastic - keeping us and all of our guests happy throughout the entire evening! We cannot thank the staff enough for their kindness, laughter and the way they welcomed us. The space itself is beautiful, I call it a blank canvas. If you are someone who loves to make a space unique and your own, this cozy loft space is Perfect for you! And I should not forget to mention that the food was Delicious! All of our guests were happy to be served hot and tasty meals throughout our reception! We were 100 percent satisfied booking with Canvas for our special day. Not only were booking prices fair, but Mike was incredibly transparent with every single aspect of the space and the services they offer (which many other wedding venues which we researched hide their fees and services - Mike was always 100 percent and on the table). We felt so comfortable with him and his staff that I'm proud to say we would recommend Canvas to anyone as they make you feel comfortable, welcome and at home! Great food, welcoming atmosphere, and fantastic people! 10/10

I just had my wedding at this banquet hall and everything turned out phenomenal. Jay is an incredible person to work with; he is friendly and generous. Jay went above and beyond to accommodate our wishes. I highly recommend!

When I saw everything was perfect, I mean it! The ambiance, the backdrop, the FOOD!!! OMG!!!! I'm a Jamaican who loves to cook, so when I tell you that the curry goat and jerk chicken was amazing, believe me, it was!!! People who came to my wedding couldn't stop talking about the food and just how beautiful the place was! Jey was there the whole time making sure everything ran smoothly.. If I could give more stars I would! Thank you Jey, for helping to make my wedding day most beautiful!!!!

I was hoping to get more photos from our photographer to show off this amazing venue, but also did not want to wait too long to post this review.

We had our wedding reception at Claireport Banquet Hall recently and words cannot describe how successful this night was. We found Jay during our hunt for a venue and for anyone that has gone through this process, venues and what they include these days have changed dramatically. We went to 5 different places, and none of them came close to including the setup, support and staff that Claireport had to offer. We did not require a decorator for this event (not the same at the other empty looking venues) because their backdrop and stage was their standard included in booking. This also extended to table settings, entrance decorations etc, all included which is a tremendous bonus. Next Jay walked us through all of the decision making for this night and offered and welcomed changes to accommodate us and family needs along the way. We were not able to set up a tasting for the South Asian menu, and it was something that we were worried about initially, but Jay insisted that the food was top quality and met the standards we were expecting. Even two weeks after the event finished, we are still getting incredibly high praises for the food and the way that it was presented. I won’t ruin the surprise, but I can say that this is still one of the most talked about moments in our event!! When Jay says he has a plan and will take care of you, just trust him! We are so thankful so everyone at the hall and can’t thank them enough for making our wedding reception one of the best nights of our lives. Big thank you to the staff, to Naresh, and to Mannat for keeping everything moving the night of and a special thanks to Jay for taking care of us and going the extra mile on every aspect of our special night!

Our wedding at this venue was truly unforgettable — all thanks to Jay and his incredible team. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, stress-free, and filled with thoughtful touches that made the day so special.

The hall setup was absolutely beautiful, with many amazing surprises that delighted both us and our guests. We received countless compliments on the food — everything from breakfast to lunch and desserts was a hit. The dosa, appam, and ice cream were especially tasty and memorable.

What really stood out was the team’s communication, attention to detail, and genuine care. Jay ensured everything ran smoothly, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the effort and heart that went into making our big day so meaningful.

Highly recommend this venue for anyone planning a wedding or special event!

Clairport hall exceeded our expectations! Jey was incredibly accommodating and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect. The hall was beautifully decorated, and the food was exceptional. We received countless compliments from our guests. Whole team was calm and professional, even in challenging moments. We highly recommend this place– 5 stars isn't enough! Thank you for making our day unforgettable.

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!

On Saturday, August 6th, 2022; Cystal Grand Banquet Hall hosted my wedding reception. I first booked with the banquet hall in November 2021; and ever since, I’ve experienced amazing service. As many know, planning a wedding is very stressful and Crystal Grand made this wedding planning less stressful for my family and I. Below I’ve noted just SOME of the details that made this banquet the best choice for my wedding day.

- Price: Throughout my search within the GTA banquet hall options; Crystal Grand was able to accommodate everything, every other banquet hall had; at a reduced rate. A wedding reception is usually the most expensive step in your wedding budget. Therefore, finding a good rate will help with your other expenses.
- Food/Drinks: Food had to be the most difficult part of my wedding since so many guests had different variations of what they like to eat. Crystal Grand facilitated a custom meal package that everyone was able to enjoy. We had food from every different food group. The open bar was FANTASTIC! Every single one of my guests loved it. The bartenders were professional and classy.
- Staff: The staff treated me as royalty on my special day. I couldn’t have asked for a better team. Keren (the event owner), was present at my event to ensure everything went smoothly- I am forever grateful.

Honestly, to write out everything in this review would be asking for a book; because I have so much to say. Many people have regrets and/or things that went wrong on their wedding day. Crystal Grand ensured I could trust them and proved that to be true from booking to the wedding day. My wedding day was perfect all thanks to them. The room was beautiful, the service was amazing, the food was great. I truly wish I could relive my wedding day all over again. I am yet to call them, and thank them again for their wonderful service. My husband and I have been married now for almost 3 years and we still talk about our wedding reception to this day.
For anyone reading this, book with Crystal Grand Banquet Hall if you’re looking to have the most majestic wedding reception of a lifetime. I truly didn’t know what my wedding day was going to look like as a young girl dreaming about it; but Crystal Grand made it come to life. I’ve attached some pictures below to visualize the greatest day of my life.

Thanks,
The Thompson Wedding

Karen and his team at Crystal Grand — we cannot thank you enough! You turned our wedding vision into reality in such a short amount of time. From start to finish, you were there to answer every question and accommodate every adjustment, making our special night one we will cherish forever.

Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the amazing food and the incredible bar staff. Everything exceeded our expectations! We love you guys and will definitely be back to celebrate more milestones with you.

Thank you again, Karen and team! What a night to remember!

Karen, Hanna, Aleksandra, and the entire Crystal Grand team - THANK YOU! We couldn’t have selected a better venue for our wedding! Everything was extremely well organized, the food was plentiful and delicious, and the decor by in-house florist Véronique (Fancy Flora) was executed to perfection! We also went with the venue’s recommended vendor for our wedding cake, Gold Cherry Bakery, and it beyond exceeded our expectations. Prior to dinner being served, our guests also got to enjoy the stunning antipasto buffet - prosciutto being cut right in front of you? Can’t get any fresher than that!

The grand hall has a beautiful chandelier and premier lighting that will make your wedding photos truly stand out. We chose it because of how spacious it was, our 165 guests fit comfortably, but it still provided an intimate feel. Having the head table on the stage gave us a lovely view of our loved ones and was the perfect backdrop for us to soak it all in.

If you are considering booking this venue for an upcoming celebration or special occasion (wedding, baptism, quinceañera, corporate event, etc.), look no further! We highly recommend it and couldn’t be happier with how things turned out. Our wedding day was absolutely magical and perfect. ✨🤍

I had the most amazing experience hosting my baby shower at Crystal Grand! Working with Karen and Hanna made the planning so easy and the event went so smoothly. Their attention to detail really made the whole experience so great and I’m so glad I chose Crystal Grand for my shower. Thanks again to the whole team for the incredible experience 🤍

Crystal Grand was the perfect choice for our celebration. The space was elegant, well-maintained, and the lighting created a warm, inviting atmosphere. The staff was professional, helpful, and made sure everything ran smoothly. We felt well taken care of from start to finish.

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.

A beautiful venue for our beautiful day!
Our wedding at Hazelton Manor could not have been more beautiful. We went into our original site tour pretty much set on a different venue, but were pleasantly surprised with the overall elegance of Hazelton Manor. Once we sat down with Jim, we could sense that we were in good hands and booked them as our venue. Throughout the whole planning process, Jim and the Hazelton Manor team were there to answer any questions we had. During our tasting, we weren’t too impressed with the main entree, but after speaking with the team, they made the necessary adjustments and it was cooked just to our liking on our big day! Our 195 guests (20 tables) fit comfortably in the South Hall without it feeling crowded. The price was reasonable for each guest and we felt well taken care of from start to finish. Highly recommended!

Attended a function recently with family at this venue. Since I have attended a good number of like facilities, I can make a sound and honest review. Celebrations and functions cost a fair bit these days. As such, one expects the highest standards of location, food and service. To start off, the writer and fellow attendees, found the food to be bland in relation to the main course. The food plates collected and returning to the kitchen area, had substantial remains on the plates. The appetizer stations were complete and well appointed. Service staff were very good in the hall and at the bar. However, the writer observed clogged HVAC ducts (pictures posted for proof) in the washroom area. Additionally, the soap containers at the washroom sinks were empty and contributed to grins of disbelief from fellow celebrants. No paper hand towels available, only air dryers. Normally, I would give only 2 stars but the staff was top notch.

We just got married at Hazelton Manor and working with Ken and his team was such a wonderful experience! From day one he was informative and fun, always recommending the best choices. Ken provided support throughout our entire year of planning. He was available to answer all my questions no matter how silly. The week of, he will act as your coordinator so all vendors can go straight to him for any venue/planning related questions. The day of, Ken was so hands-on and was running around everywhere making sure that everything was running smoothly! We wouldn’t have been able to have such an amazing experience without him.

I’ve been to many weddings and I have never been to a wedding where there were no complaints about the food- everything tasted absolutely incredible! Compliments to the chef!

The hall itself is beautiful. I was wary of having my reception at a hall until I saw Hazelton Manor. From the moment I saw beautiful interior, the high ceilings, and the signature checkered lobby, I was sold. Most places that I saw seemed dated or small so I was really drawn to this modern but classic venue.

I would definitely recommend Hazelton Manor for all your major events! Each time we visited they were always busy planning something new whether it be a baptism, a first communion, or another wedding. It is a one stop shop that will make your planning a breeze!

I just left the Hazleton Manor 5 minutes ago after coordinating a wedding for my lovely couple. I couldn’t wait to leave a 5 star review for this venue! Everything was perfect from start to finish! I couldn’t have asked for a better team of managers, servers and bartenders! They took care of every last detail and accommodated all request quickly and professionally!

Ken was an absolutely pleasure to work with! By the end of the night, he felt like family! I also want to thank George, Suzanne and Anne for being so incredible!

I would recommend this stunning venue a millions times! I hope to be back soon!

My husband and I got married at Hazelton Manor last month in March and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. George is absolutely wonderful. He answered our many many questions with a friendly attitude and made sure we had everything we wanted for our wedding. The venue itself is really gorgeous. We had our ceremony in the lobby and the pictures turned out so beautifully. The food is beyond delicious and everyone was saying it was the best wedding they had been to. I would highly recommend Hazelton Manor 🫶

Greek Fest is one of the best festivals in Ottawa! My childhood fav ☺️

Great venue for weddings and events

Went there for Greek Fest....I asked for a half a pound of Lamb.....I open it at home and there was a bone in there.....Never again

Love this event centre! Their staff are super nice and accommodating. The event facilities are clean. Their food is great too!

Nice place, but AV is perpetually problematic and they need bike racks out front.

We as a non profit Circus organization, has been invited to perform at Infinity Convention centre. We had really great time at the Father-Daughter Ball at the Infinity Convention Centre! The Capital Circus artists put on an incredible performance - it was fun, entertaining, and really made the evening special.
The venue was beautiful - very clean, spacious and easy to get to. There was plenty of accessible parking, which made arriving and leaving stress-free. The staff were warm, friendly and super helpful, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The catering was excellent, with a great variety of delicious food and drinks.
You could really feel the positive energy in the room - everyone was enjoying themselves and the whole event had such a joyful, welcoming vibe.
If you're planning an event, I highly recommend Infinity Convention Centre. They know how to host something memorable and you'll be in great hands.

The location made it very convenient for our guests to get to and from the airport. The rooms are spacious enough to host very large events, galas, or weddings. In-house catering is available. The second floor also has a variety of rooms for conferences or seminars. The Hilton and Holiday Inn are in this immediate area.

Beautiful, well maintained modern space. AV systems are functional well designed.
Staff is accommodating and professional.
No outside catering is allowed; but rest assured the convention catering staff are masters of all cooking styles. The kitchen is quite impressive too.

recently attended an event( Anytime Fitness Conference) at the Infinity Convention Centre, and it was a fantastic experience! The venue is beautifully designed, modern, and spacious, with excellent facilities for both large and small events. The staff were professional, friendly, and very accommodating, making sure everything ran smoothly. The catering was top-notch, with delicious food and a wide variety of options. The location is convenient as it is very close by the airport. I highly recommend Infinity Convention Center for any event—it’s a great place that leaves a lasting impression!

Great new modern facility. Access and parking were great. I found the food delicious and well presented. Only things I would change would be the toilets as they are so low to the ground and the cleanliness of the carpet in the hall we were in (A) as there was gum stuck to it in more than one area and my shoes kept sticking to it.

We hosted our High School Reunion at the hall in September and everything was perfect and Matt was incredibly helpful. Highly recommend for weddings, reunions or any gathering.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Inglewood Community Association for my first-ever Sound Bath Meditation, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I walked into the hall, I was struck by the wonderful acoustics of the space. The team at Somatika Healing did a fantastic job creating an environment that was both serene and inviting.

As we settled in, the gentle sounds began to envelop us, creating a truly immersive experience. The vibrations and tones were soothing, allowing me to completely relax and let go of any stress. The atmosphere was perfect for this type of meditation, and I felt completely at ease throughout the session.

The staff at Inglewood Community Association were warm and welcoming, making sure everyone felt comfortable and ready to enjoy the session. It's clear that they put a lot of thought into making their events enjoyable and accessible for everyone.

If you're looking for a unique and calming experience, I highly recommend checking out the Sound Bath Meditation at Inglewood Community Association. It's a wonderful way to unwind and recharge, and the acoustics of the hall truly enhance the overall experience. I can't wait to return for another session!

A cute community center nestled in Inglewood. Not far from the Bird Sanctuary. A nice relaxing playground for the Tots. A very nice rink for rollerblading in the summer and ice skating in the winter. The hall has a unique roof and can make for a lovely meeting space for special occasions especially if decorated.

Great little playground for kids up to probably 8. Big and small slide, baby swing and normal swing, merry go round, and a pretend car. In the winter the small hill makes for a tiny toboggan for toddlers, and the ice rink provides lots of entertainment.

We host large events at Inglewood Hall on a bi-weekly basis. The space is amazing, the acoustics are spectacular but the management and staff are my favorite part. Your bookings are well attended and cared for here.

A wonderful wedding party and dinner here. Cheers 🍻

Excellent place for a wedding, great service, amazing experience overall!

I like this little hidden reception hall.
The ceremony place is very picturesque especially in the fall.

This venue suit only for funerals , not for weddings, birthdays etc . So many restrictions

Beautiful place, it's an Encanto !

We couldn’t be more thankful to La Grange de la Gatineau. After our original venue had flooding problems, they accommodated us on very short notice and truly saved our wedding day.

The location is absolutely gorgeous, full of charm and surrounded by nature. The team was welcoming, helpful, and incredibly kind throughout the process. We felt supported every step of the way, and it ended up being even better than we imagined.

We lucked out ending up here. It was a perfect day, thanks to this amazing venue and its staff. 5 stars without hesitation.

The location is a beautiful forested point in the river. We have attended several lovely concerts here! The venue is lovely and unique. Lots of wood and rock in the building. It’s fun to explore the venue with different historic items and the downstairs loop.
The shows we attended featured fantastic artists and good quality sound! The shows were well filled with good energy in the audience but still a small enough group for a personal, intimate show.

The place itself is very nice, with enough room to receive around 20 guest for a conference. The catering service is not great though, although the staff is excellent. The food is not tasty and it is frankly cheap. Same with their soft drink selection and desert. They serve no name or President choice sodas and their desert (including their muffins for the coffee breaks) are tastless or too sweet and really cheap.

Nice and cute space. Outdoor installation is welcoming, and there is a music spot for cello and violin players. Really nice.

My brother got married here and it was the most perfect place. The wedding was outside and they had pictures taken down by the water. Beautiful setting for a special event.
