Wedding Reception

As a photographer, working at The Estates of Sunnybrook was truly a dream! This stunning location elevates wedding photos and videos to an entirely new level. The staff and vendors were incredibly kind and helpful—not just to me, but to every single guest—with the best intentions to make the couple’s day unforgettable.

It’s definitely a venue I will continue to recommend to my future clients.

We booked Estates of Sunnybrook (EOS) after doing tons of searches. Once we saw the McLean House we knew it was where we wanted to have our wedding. The house is BEAUTIFUL, the grounds are kept impeccably and the FOOD -- amazing.

Though there were a few limitations, Diane our sales manager, and Paula, or catering director/manager made sure we had the best day. At the end of it all, our wedding was perfect and we wouldn't have chosen a different venue for our wedding. Both my husband and I loved the garden for our ceremony, the tent extension on the patio for our reception, and the other included rooms in the house for cake serving and late night poutine.

Though our schedule was pushed back a little because of tent setup, small rainfall, and a day-of complication with our helium tanks, the EOS staff are very experienced and were very ad hoc and discussed with our GM what they could do to make the guests enjoy the day without any issues and I gotta say, it was fantastic. I was impressed.

Also, our guests all said they LOVED the venue and that it was the best wedding food they've ever had (of course we ordered the best of the best menu choices for our guests -- and also the amazing chef allowed us to make a few substitutions to the food pairings -- things we enjoyed a great deal at the tasting). You really get what you pay for! The food was so amazing that after we looked back at photos of the day, we want to return just to have the meal again.

Only 1 thing I would suggest is to allow 2nd wedding party of the day to setup earlier.

Thanks again everyone at Estates of Sunnybrook for a perfect wedding planning and experience.

Had my January wedding here and from venue to the food it was perfect. Ann was amazing to work with, so easy going, and helped me make my dream wedding come true. The food was delicious and the service was spectacular. The venue is georgeous, both inside and out. Sunnybrook took care of everything and I did not have one worry on my wedding day. I would reccommend to anyone to use their services!

Had the chance to experience the magic of Sunnybrook at a company event and just wow. The McLean house has lots of space and rooms for walking around, dancing and dining. The house is fully furnished and decorated so it is ideal for pictures anywhere. There are several washrooms on the second floor - I guess that comes handy for wedding parties. There is lots of free parking for the guests too which is great. The service of the team who tended to our event were just wonderful, specially the head manager or supervisor of the event. He went above and beyond. I would totally go back for another party!

Great place for weddings and other social and business events. We had a catered business lunch here and the food was very good.

When did actually go in November 10th event it was nice and fun place and the parking is nearby only so you can park there and there are a couple of parking options nearby cheap options this whole consists of two places of bottom floor and the ground floor but it's just very squeaky because it's made out of wood

Mark and the staff at the Great Hall hosted our wedding and did an incredible job.

Mark is very accommodating and easy to work with. The coordination with vendors was seamless.

The bar service was fantastic. Great drinks, no waits, good times.

I would highly recommend the Great Hall.

The Great Hall is a stunning concert venue that also serves as a wonderful location for a wedding. The staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Everyone at the Great Hall was very genuinely invested in making sure our event went well from start to finish. While there were a few unexpected turns, the staff at the Great Hall did a wonderful job of working with our vendors to keep things running smoothly. We didn’t really know how much went in to putting on a big event like this, but having the support and expertise of Mark and his team made the process a whole lot easier, and the end result was absolutely perfect!

Yea solid venue, love concert halls this size, feels very intimate and connected to the music and band but still big enough to have a decent size crowd that can really roar. Toronto has a few venues like this now and it's great, typically the shows are more affordable and offers options to more obscure bands that still make it worthwhile coming here as they can fill the hall.

Security was fast and efficient. Getting through the doors was easy. The bar was well stocked and service was prompt. Everything was clean and organized and well laid out.

Two criticisms
1 The sound crew seemed to have some issues mixing for both bands. Both bands were signaling them throughout their sets. This is not exclusively a problem to the great hall, every venue in Toronto has this issue it seems like. Can the sound techs in the city please figure it out? The music is always A) too loud to the point that speakers are peaking and B) instruments aren't mixed well where you always have one instrument over powering the others. Please, please, please - venue owners you need to pressure the sound techs to do better, more testing, more practice, more work with the artist ahead of time etc because we are robbing fans by not being able to hear these artists at their best.

2 It was way too hot in there. Try improving the A/C, if it was even on?

It didn't ruin my experience but overall I feel like it could have been more fun if the mixing and temperature were improved.

I've photographed several weddings in this beautiful space and I always love coming back! So much character and charm in the main hall. The light in the Drawing Room and the Conversation Room is beautiful for ceremonies & cocktail hour. Lovely staff too!

The Herb Garden is hands down one of my favourite wedding venues in the Ottawa area. As a photographer, I’ve had the joy of capturing many weddings here, and each time I’m reminded of just how special this place is. The gardens are absolutely stunning, the rustic charm is unmatched, and every little corner offers a beautiful backdrop for photos.

The owners, Katey and Nathan, are truly wonderful to work with—so kind, welcoming, and genuinely invested in making each wedding day unforgettable. They care deeply about their space and the couples who choose it, and it shows in every little detail.

Whether it’s a small intimate ceremony or a big celebration, The Herb Garden creates the kind of atmosphere that makes people feel instantly at ease and connected. If you’re looking for a nature-filled, romantic venue that feels like a hidden gem, this is it. Highly recommend to any couple planning their day!

Having our wedding at this venue was a dream come true. It was magical and our guests loved it. From the outdoor space, gardens, beautiful barn and endless gorgeous backgrounds for photos to the ease of planning the event with owners, Katey and Nathan, this was a no brainer venue choice for us. We can't recommend this venue enough!

We just had our wedding at The Herb Garden on August 30th and could not have had a better experience with this venue along with the owners K & N. From our walk throughs, setup, rehearsal and day of, they were so helpful and made it easy for us to enjoy every step. We could see how much work they put into this beautiful property daily, and it truly is the star of the wedding day. Thank you so much, we can't wait to come back for an event here and relive the magical weekend!!

What an absolutely perfect place to have a wedding!
My husband and I recently got married at The Herb Garden and it was the most perfect atmosphere we could have asked for. The decor that they have set up (even before we set up any of our own decor!) is so beautiful and elegant and it makes adding your own spin so very easy!
Katey and Nathan are extremely easy to work with and communicate very efficiently. On our wedding day they were busy behind the scenes making sure everything was running smoothly, but you never would have even known they were there!

We had access to everything we needed while we were there, including a bridal lounge, buffet/dessert barn, washrooms, open fields, a gazebo, indoor and outdoor bar area, various extra decor pieces, and so much more.
Dozens of our guests came up to us during the evening telling us what an amazing venue we chose and how it was so personable and cozy, and we could not agree more.

If you are looking for a beautiful wedding location out in the country, you will find none better than The Herb Garden!

If it wasn't for this venue, we would have likely cancelled our wedding. It was the most perfect, beautiful venue and was exactly what we were looking for. We only saw one venue, and booked it before we left.
On top of that, the owners are the most amazing people and are perfect for this industry. Katey and Nathan don't just provide you the venue, but provide you the opportunity to make your wedding how you want it. The flexibility of bringing in our own catering, alcohol service, music options, and more made our wedding feel unique and that's what we were looking for. They are there to help and guide you as needed, and are so unbelievably helpful leading up to the event. And then night of, my goodness they were superstars. There is an endless list of compliments that we can give to this venue, but even more so about the amazing owners.
Please, do yourself a favour and just visit this venue if you have any desire for an outdoor barn style wedding. And make sure to meet with Katey and Nathan. And then just take it in before you make a decision. Because I can tell you, this is the right spot for your wedding!

I recently visited at The Inn on Officers Garden restaurant, for a wedding and it was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and lively, making the day feel even more special. We had the winer room with a stunning wine wall that added so much charm, elegant, and perfect atmosphere. The food was truly delicious — beautifully presented. The service stood out as well: the staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure everything went smoothly. It was a real pleasure to spend time there and I am grateful for the opportunity to be there.

A wonderful place that I wholeheartedly recommend to others!

We celebrated our wedding at this wonderful restaurant. The location is incredibly peaceful and very beautiful. The atmosphere, preparation, and organization were all at the highest level. Every detail that was important to me was carefully considered.

I especially want to highlight the manager, Ranijth, who organized everything perfectly. We had a private room separate from the main restaurant, which made the day even more cozy and special.

The service was excellent, and the food was absolutely delicious. All our guests were very happy.

That’s why I truly recommend this place for any important event. Our wedding here was simply unforgettable!⭐️

Will forever be my go to hotel in Calgary! Stayed for a week while my son was doing a hockey camp. The rooms were beautiful and the restaurant had the best food. The customer service was absolutely amazing and I truly felt like I was at home. The pub downstairs (with pool table, darts and tv) and the park across the street kept my kiddo entertained the entire time. Not a wine drinker, but they had a very impressive list. The full bar gave me lots to chose from. The food was amazing, but the waitstaff who served it will never be topped by another restaurant I ever visit. The personal connection I made with everyone during my visit will never be forgotten.

Very nice place, great settings. I had Bison steak. Was good, except some gristle that spoiled it a bit. Mash was good, veg nice, sauce good, rich, my opinion maybe add some berries like blueberries raspberries for bit of sharpness. Not really sure it was worth the $60
Would come back😊

I stayed at The Inn last week during a family emergency. The care and concern that the staff showed was truly touching. Everyone was so unfailingly kind. The amenities available on site are great, and the rooms are decorated with such an artistic eye. The linens are of the highest quality, and the beds are super comfortable.

Special mention the bartender/server Sean, who let us stay in the dining room long after the kitchen had closed and looked after our every need. In terms of service, he just went above and beyond.

I can only imagine the care that would be taken in making sure a special day like your wedding would be perfectly executed.

Thank you to everyone at The Inn,
Michelle Finlayson

Our client had her wedding at this amazing venue and it was breathtaking! The decor and the details were stunning. We had a great time operating our Photo Booth at such a beautiful location.

I cannot speak higher of the Loft.

First, and most importantly, the main thing we wanted was delicious food for our wedding. The Loft delivered and then some. Everyone was raving about the food. We did the southern BBQ buffet style and it was perfect. No let down of a dish. I had to request to shake the chef's hand after our event it was so good.

Rebecca, our point of contact leading up to the event, was extremely responsive via email. She worked with my wife to ensure we were all setup, including accommodating every one of our tiny requests.

Apologies in advance because day of, we were assisted mainly by two individuals who have names that I am sure are often misspelled, but Steven (?) and Katelynn(?) seemed like they popped up exactly when we needed them with a smile to assist. We left our card box at home, they were able to provide one upon request. They made sure that my wife and I were fed and watered as well, which I was told by many married people before me is sometimes difficult to guarantee on your big day with all of your hosting obligations. They were pros and it showed.

The venue itself was breathtaking. Everything was taken care of in terms of big things for décor by Distillery Events. Because all of the décor was handled, including table runners and beautiful chairs, we could focus on the little things that gave the event a personal touch. We just handled the cake, a donut wall, our centrepieces, and name cards. Distillery Events has a list of recommended vendors, but we were allowed to bring in whoever we wanted to work with.

The hanging lights and exposed brick give a beautifully rustic feel. Our guests used words like "magic" and "fairy tale" to describe the atmosphere.

We thought it was perfect and exactly what we wanted. THANK YOU to everyone at Distillery Events for making the process so stress free so that we could enjoy one of the biggest celebrations of our lives.

A very beautiful spot for the wedding. F&B minimums are great, food was very good. The backdrop is as well perfect (if you are ok spending the extra $500, which luckily we got for free). The mulled wine in winter was amazing. Only gripe is loading in and out is tough, and it's not wheel chair accessible.

Good location to host a wedding for a small group of people. Food was great, staff were great. The venue looks amazing.

I had my wedding reception at the loft and it was amazing! Everyone loved the food, and the venue itself was so pretty it barely needed decoration! Melissa was my coordinator, she answered all of my questions leading up to my event and was such a great help the day of. We got the nicest photos in the distiller district before the event! Highly recommend :)

What a fantastic venue! It gets really loud when everybody is talking but you can easily have smaller conversations with people. The food and service is amazing. I would love to come back for another function, hopefully soon!

Loft on King provided an ideal venue for our recent holiday party, impressing us with its well-designed open floor space and inviting bar area. The open layout allowed our guests to mingle comfortably, enhancing the festive atmosphere. Notably, the staff at Loft on King were exceptionally friendly and attentive, contributing to the overall pleasant experience. They efficiently catered to our needs, serving a variety of drinks and delicious finger foods that were a hit among the attendees. Additionally, the coat check service was a thoughtful and much-appreciated convenience, especially during the busy holiday season. The location of Loft on King is another highlight, offering direct TTC access which made it extremely convenient for our guests to reach the venue. Overall, our holiday party at Loft on King was a memorable event, thanks to the excellent facilities and the warm hospitality of the staff.

Went for a private xmas function. Staff we very nice, food was amazing. I ordered a beer when i got there and it was room temp. I asked why and they just put ice in the cooler. Ok no fridge maybe get someone up there an hour before . At 10 bucks a beer i dont think thats acceptable took a while before they started getting cold.

The Loft on King Street in Toronto is a fantastic spot! The cozy ambiance, delicious food, and friendly staff made my visit amazing. I loved the vibe and the location—definitely a must-visit place!

Went there for my birthday. We requested bottle service, the supervisor approved one bottle and booth. They took my husband’s ID and credit card for the bottle service.

After the bottle was finished the staff approached one of the guests saying “are you ready for the second bottle now” which guest thought it was already included and consented upon based on their approach. Not sure why the information didn’t come back to my husband but that’s another issue for another time.

Husband ended up on the hook for the additional bottle as a result, and never received his ID back. Ended up trying to escalate to management and the staff did not get back to me. Followed up and spoke to manager Maria who said my ID is not there, and said she would check cameras however never followed up with me despite promise to do so and did not return my call. Highly suggest staying away from this place as they have poor service and management.

I've stayed at numerous nice/expensive hotels around the world and frequently have good experiences - places with nice lobbies, nice rooms, friendly staffs - but nothing that is super noteworthy. I had a recent visit to The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto for a conference and for the first time in a while was genuinely impressed by a hotel. From the very moment of check-in it felt like an elevated experience - staff that went out of their way to make that little extra effort like walk you to the elevator or send up some complimentary drinks to your room. It for sure felt like a next level experience.

The room was so nice. Extremely spacious bathroom with a large bathtub and walk-in shower - the finishing and the fixtures stood out - just an all around cozy and comfortable experience from the moment you walk in. And the room itself was great - plenty of luxurious pillows, a big desk, several chairs - of course its still a regular hotel room nothing super fancy but it just felt like little extras every time I turned around. And finally a perfect view of the CN Tower from the window. Couldn't have really asked for anything more.

The conference area as well was a good experience. Friendly and kind staff, delicious food - a smooth operation.

The location is of course good - just a few minutes walk to Union Station and 10 or 15 to the waterfront.

Enjoyed a fabulous stay at the Ritz-Carlton to celebrate our 15 year anniversary with our 9 year old daughter.

Upon check-in they had to shuffle some things around to secure a room with a king-size bed, which was appreciated. However I was then concerned we wouldn't have anything set up in the room to celebrate the anniversary as I'd requested...lo and behold, about 45 mins after checking in, a very friendly member of staff dropped off a balloon and bottle of sparkling wine to our room...It's little touches like this which really set the true luxury properties apart.

Any interaction with staff was warm and generous without ever feeling over-bearing. The rooms and lobby are beautifully decorated...there is just quality everywhere you look (such as solid marble walls and floors in the bathroom suites or the truly incredible robes!

Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend - excellent location in the heart of Toronto to boot!

We had an incredible stay for my birthday weekend. Our corner suite was spacious, comfortable, and blissfully quiet—perfect for unwinding. Our suite included access to the Club Lounge, which quickly became our favourite spot to relax. The food offerings throughout the day were outstanding, and we enjoyed fantastic wine and cocktails whenever we liked.

The staff truly made the experience exceptional—especially Olga in the Club Lounge. Her warm smile and radiant energy each evening were unforgettable, and we’ll genuinely miss her.

Even knowing we were at a five-star hotel and fully aware of the cost, we were still blown away by the level of service and the way we were cared for from start to finish.

We’re already looking forward to the next time we can treat ourselves to another visit.

5 stars for the club level and their staff. 0 stars for their manager Max Reidel-Arriagada.
Visit on 9/1/25 for our father's birthday. We kept his birthday gift in our room safe. Prior to leaving for his birthday dinner, the safe malfunctioned and did not open. Upon calling for help, we were told that the engineer will be called when he is available. After waiting 15 minutes, we were already behind schedule and could not wait for him. We proceeded to the club lounge to celebrate the occasion. At that time, our dinner was interrupted and asked to return to our room for the engineer to resolve the safe issue. After a 15 minute ordeal, the situation was finally resolved. But, this all came at an expense of hindering our plans for the night. Max, the manager, was not able to offer us a resolution prior to check out and promised to reach out to us within a day. After nearly a week, he did not reach out to us as promised. Upon reaching out to him, he dismissed the situation and was not able to offer a reasonable compensation. Very disappointed in Max. Ritz Carlton needs to hire managers that truly care and are compassionate about the expectations of their guests. Perhaps you should stay at the Four Seasons for a true 5 star experience.

Exceptional Service and Prime Location — A Few Room Quirks, But Still Worth It

I recently stayed at The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto and had a memorable experience—mostly thanks to the outstanding service, especially from the Club Lounge team and front desk staff. The hotel’s downtown location is unbeatable and makes exploring Toronto very convenient (plus, it’s just a short walk from the UP Express train from the airport!).

Upon arrival, I had an issue with my reservation (entirely my fault), but the front desk associate was kind, professional, and helped me get everything sorted out smoothly. Once checked in, I did notice a few issues with the room’s cleanliness and some rips in the sheets. I brought this up the next morning, and the front desk manager could not have been more apologetic or accommodating. He went above and beyond and upgraded us to a beautiful suite on the top floor with Club Lounge access to make up for the inconvenience—truly excellent service.

We upgraded our stay to include Club Lounge access, and I highly recommend it. While we don’t drink, the overall value of the lounge is fantastic—the food offerings were fresh and varied, and the service was impeccable. The team even noted my allergies and made sure I had safe, delicious options at each meal.

The hotel also features a well-equipped gym and a full-service spa. Unfortunately, the pool was closed during our stay, but I’d definitely come back when it reopens. One area for improvement: the rooms could use a refresh. The TV was a bit outdated, and there were a few signs of wear and tear throughout the space—nothing major, but noticeable at this level of hotel.

Overall, I would absolutely return to The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto—especially to celebrate a special occasion. The staff make you feel valued, and the service truly reflects the Ritz-Carlton name.

I just stayed at the University Club of Toronto. First, the location is in easy walking distance to most downtown things including great restaurants and activities. The service included a nice continental breakfast. The in room coffee machine was awesome. The staff was incredibly professional and polite. The property was well maintained and very quaint and comfortable. They had many activities for signup. The bed was so comfortable. I slept like a baby even in a downtown area. Highly recommended.

We recently hosted our wedding at the University Club of Toronto and they were absolutely incredible to work with. The food was five star, the venue is stunningly beautiful and the staff went out of their way to help us at every opportunity. They made us and our guests feel so welcomed and as though none of our requests were too big or small. Each and every staff member we dealt with was kind, helpful and professional.

We recently became members of the University Club of Toronto, and also hosted our wedding reception at the Club. As younger members of the Club, we've loved seeing the energy and events hosted at the Club - it's been such a great way to meet Torontonians and enjoy an absolute gem in the middle of the city.

Our wedding was the most perfect night - the entire Events team and staff at UCT went above and beyond to ensure that our reception was flawless. They helped us through the planning process, were extremely responsive and helpful whenever we had questions, and the hospitality was just off the charts.

We've received nonstop compliments on the entire evening - the incredible beauty of the Club, the intimate setting for our reception, the service was spectacular, and most complimented was the food!! Our cocktail hour and the delicious quality of dinner have been the talk of our guests! We even had a few out of town family and friends stay at the hotel at the Club, which made the experience even better.

We cannot recommend the Club enough for any private function, wedding or otherwise, and really encourage other Toronto residents to consider joining as a member. You'll meet wonderful individuals, benefit from amazing amenities and events, you'll gain access to reciprocal clubs around the world, and you'll have a delightful space in the heart of the city to enjoy.

Went to a wedding for my cousin. Was about 100 ppl and the food and service was excellent. Unfortunately the ceremony was in the room facing University Ave and you could hear the protestors who are next door out front of the US consulate. Beautiful paintings and the architecture is also beautiful. Great place for small function if everyone lives downtown or is riding a bike

My wife and I hosted our wedding at the UCT this summer. Wonderful experience! Professional service, delicious food, beautiful space. Would highly recommend it as a wedding/event venue for those that enjoy old-world charm and hospitality.

Every time I rent an item, it's in pristine condition. Delivery is always punctual, set up smoothly, and picked up without any hassle. Super reliable and so easy to work with! And the best part—there’s such a huge selection of stunning items to choose from for all kinds of events. Highly recommend!

Attended Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel The Exhibition. It was awesome! When you realize this was done in the 1500s, amazing! It is only on in Toronto until Apr. 2/23.

Can't thank the staff enough! They did so much to make the entire day perfect. The service, attention to detail and professionalism was top notch. The owner is so great to work with. The food and bar service were exceptional. We saved so much money and worry on decor, as they have so many items available for use. The venue is constantly updating and adding value to the property and decor. Thank you!!"

Have never been here, had never heard of it. Not surprising with the lacklustre name! This space is made for parties and special events. Cool indoor space, with all sorts of options, large outdoor patio area. Just loved it!

I recently attended an event at the Toronto Event Centre, and it was a great experience. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. The venue itself is really beautiful, with modern and stylish decor that creates a vibrant atmosphere and makes one really get involved with ongoing activities.

The event I attended was well organized, everything was evenly coordinated. I would like to attend more such events at this venue.

Did my daughter's baptism reception here. First of all it was a pleasure to work with Romina. She was very helpful and answers your email quick. Every thing went very smoothly.
We did a Brunch buffet w/ a veal roast everything was delicious. It was also a lot of food for the price I paid. The place is also clean and beautiful.
I am overall happy that I chose Villa Toscana for our venue.
I'll definitely come back. Thanks again Romina & to your whole team at Villa Toscana .

We had our wedding and reception at Villa Toscana in July 2025. Romina was a pleasure to work with and made us feel at ease with everything. Everything was great and our guests all left extremely happy. We would definitely re-book Villa Toscana for another event. We can not recommend them enough for a small-medium sized wedding!

Friendly personal, delicious food and very nice decor

Great place to do your family event

Ordered catering from here more than once. Food is fresh and delicious and the prices are reasonable. Staff are lovely from ordering to pick up

We had our wedding Last Saturday, and wow wow everything was wonderful,.the food delicious, and that comes from me and all my guests. The service was impeccable 👌 extra nice workers.
Don t hesitate to book with them.
Thanks so much.

We love this place but it's a bit of a trek. Went to see frog and toad. Have gone to gluten free garage in the past and this was much more chill.

Great playground! Unique playground equipment, my son loves to climb the web line Spiderman and the rotating monkey bar wheel thing. Splash pad is cool too.

A big city gem! The Saturday morning market is something everyone should experience, and you'll likely want to keep coming back! Come hungry and bring your shopping bags for fresh produce, cheese etc...

Attended Halloween Howl with Solid and Rob with my little ones. Amazing show if you have not taken it in. The farmers market is not to be missed either. Highly recommended. It's a good way to meet other members of the community and it's important to teach our children how they can be part of the local community.

Nice event place. Came for one. The location and area is nice. Would come back to check out their farmers market

A nice way to connect with the neighborhood and community. One get authentic fish roti, Tibetan momo's, homemade sushi and miso soup, fresh pastries, baked goodies, cheese, meat and fruit and vegetables. The price is a bit high but it's worth it.

Great place to take a stroll and just enjoy the sunshine. Stores and markets are a nice place to hangout and relax. There’s plenty of pay-parking. The building is beautiful old architecture. The surrounding area is worth a visit and enjoy the facilities

Beautiful spot to be an exhibitor! We rarely are in a venue with natural light, so this is my favourite! The beautiful outdoor farmer’s market on Sundays is an added bonus!

There always seems to be something happening at Aberdeen pavilion. Whether it's the 613 flea or the Farmers market, to cultural events, you can find something to enjoy. It's historical significance to Ottawa is also something to come and read about.

The beer and taco festival was held here and it was amazing 🤩 . I really had a nice time here with family and friends you will see that in my videos 😄😃. It’s really spacious with a lot of businesses on site. As the name goes beer and 🌮 so that’s what was sold in here. Your cash is being converted to plastic coins and that’s what you use to purchase food and drinks 🍺 . Cash only.

613Flea Market is great. Good deals too. Food is delicious.

Great event venue with attentive staff. Was here for a corporate event recently and the place still lives up to its high standards. The food was on point and cooked well.

Modern, clean venue with a fantastic view of Old City Hall.

After losing our venue to the Berkeley Events closure, and scrambling to figure out a plan b, we reached out to O&B. Megan from the Arcadian quickly replied and we had a call set up with her within the day. Cut to, the day of our wedding: Everything went impeccably well. The food was amazing, the venue was beautiful and the staff were superb. Daniel was our coordinator on the day and he was on the ball. Would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone. Thank you!!

Location with a beautiful view of city hall, nice ambiance and delicious food!

Amazing event, with beautiful decorations and delicious food.

We had our Ring Ceremony and Jaago on August 25th at Calgary Hellenic Banquet Hall and it was perfect. The hall was beautiful, everyone loved it, and Anastasia made the whole process so easy. She helped us from start to finish and coordinated smoothly with our vendors. Highly recommend!

We have used the Calgary Hellenic Banquet Hall for two wedding receptions for our daughters and I have attended other events there as well. Each experience has always been thrilling. Anastasia is always a pleasure to work with and the hall offers an atmosphere of class, comfort and cleanliness. I definitely recommend it for family or corporate events. You can't go wrong with your choice of the Hellenic!

Rented this hall two times this year for my kid’s birthday parties. Beautiful hall! Spacious and clean! Anastasia, the manager was so pleasant to work with. She was efficient sending information and booking me in. She was very helpful and ensured that all the chairs and tables were set up accordingly. Both parties were a success and all the guests had a wonderful time ! I will definitely be booking parties here again in the near future! Highly recommend this venue !

Wonderful place to have an event! Our swimming club have had a year end event at the Hellenic hall with over 250 attending and it was great experience! Anastasia is amazing to work with. We have access to everything we need, place is neat and everything was organized for us with excellency. We will be back next year 100%

I had our my milestone Birthday Party and Client Appreciation Day on September 5th 2025 at Calgary Hellenic Banquet Hall and it was perfect. The hall was beautiful, everyone loved it, and Anastasia made the whole process so easy for us. She assisted and helped us from start to finish and coordinated smoothly with our vendors. Highly recommend and will not hesitate to organise an event there again.

Very beautiful and well maintained. We enjoyed strolling the castle and garden. The towers had great views of the city, but be sure to note that they close earlier than the rest of the areas so schedule your visit time appropriately. I recommend wearing shoes in case you decide to climb the spiral staircases. Only bummer was from the outside courtyard area, they had white tents all over which kinda ruins the pictures we took from there.

This is a beautiful piece of well-preserved history! I'm not sure young ones would appreciate, but teens did. The back and garden is lovely, and the city view from the top is incredible!

Not a MUST DO, but with the CityPass, it was included. We didn't get get to do the Royal Museum or City Cruise which would have been my preferred pick (I think) looking back. It was close by and a maybe on my list, so we enjoyed it.

The climb to the 3rd floor top of through a small metal winding staircase which was worth it, but tough with hip/back issues. Crowded -one way up and down. Worth the wait.

Casa Loma is a truly magical place that feels like stepping into a real life fairy tale. Nestled in the heart of Toronto, this historic castle is full of charm, from its grand architecture. Walking through its halls, you can almost feel the stories of the past come alive. Whether you're a history lover, a romantic, or just looking for a unique day out, Casa Loma offers an experience that's both fascinating and unforgettable.

Excellent. It's a museum with stuff from the era all over thr place. There's a war museum in it. They're setting up special events for Halloween now too, so the underground table to thr stables has been converted to a monster haunt with a vampire den. Old cars in the stables too, including a Maxwell Model Q from 1910. The towers up high were fun to explore. Thr setup for thr fantasy wizard dragoon escape room looks great. Get a City Pass to do this stop.

The food was delicious, the view wonderful and the service very pleasant. We had a reservation, so they served us very quickly. Once inside, you can explore the castle grounds, there is no time limit (which is appreciated).
It's expensive, it's not a Honda Civic, it's a Rolls Royce.

Is it worth it? 100% yes

If you have more than 9/10 dishes/items for dinner and if you want to keep man and women separate table then serving area is not enough for big wedding. It is tough to arrange separate corners for Desert. Over all hall is good to have wedding reception/ceremony. Men's washroom is in second floor which might be a challenge for older folks. Parking is excellent.

We recently hosted our event at Chateau Le Jardin and it could not have been more perfect. The venue itself is beautiful, the atmosphere welcoming and the service was outstanding from start to finish.

A special that you to Linda and her team, our captain for the event on the day, who went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of. Her attentiveness and kindness towards our guests as well as accommodating minor changes made the evening flow seamlessly. We received many messages from our guests on what a lovely time they had. Food was outstanding! Thank you to chef Fareed as well for doing a superb job.

We are very grateful to the entire team at Chateau Le Jardin for helping us create a wonderful and memorable experience. Highly recommend

Kudos to SUSAN ANTOON and her team she made sure everything was good. I can’t thank her enough, she made sure everything was perfect, very accommodating people.
Very highly recommended. Food was very good, service you name it everything was there. She is one of the people made my daughter’s 18th birthday magical, without her service I don’t know what to do. I salute her for her hard work. Amazing person hopefully they give her a good raise. ❤️

My husband and I had our wedding here on October 12th, 2024. Everything was absolutely perfect. I can’t thank Justin enough for being the best wedding coordinator we could have ever asked for. He was by our side through this whole process, was honest and beyond helpful. I would also like to thank Marcos for being an absolute godsend on the day of our wedding. His attention to detail made my vision come to life. Our food was exquisite and our guests raved about how amazing our food was especially our stations during cocktail hour. The staff was also so amazing and caring. Thank you again so much for making our wedding the best day ever!

We absolutely love shooting weddings at Espace Gare Viger, and we consistently leave with beautiful images and happy clients. For couples looking for a memorable and visually striking venue, we highly recommend Espace Gare Viger!

Where do we start…. 🥹 Incredible venue, incredible location, unprecedented staff, unforgettable event, most delicious food +++. We cannot recommend this venue more! Justin is the BEST! he helped us with all the details from day 1, he was extremely flexible with our demands and the Gentile team made this event a fairytale!! The feedback we got from our guests was awesome, everyone LOVED the food and talked about how caring the servers and Maitre were! The stations were generous and extremely delicious as well!
Mario kept coming to me and my husband during the wedding to ask us if we needed anything. Cannot thank you all enough, you made our wedding unforgettable! ❤️

Beautiful venue and excellent service for any event like corporate or wedding. Visited here Sept 2018 for reception. Not sure if food for the International Buffet was externally catered but it was fresh and excellent. Main course food was good too. Wide variety of drinks selection.

Getting to the side entrance is a little tricky by car. Plenty of parking space in the front and side.
Can't recall if there was wheelchair entrance doors but seemed wide enough to allow.

We had our son’s wedding at Gare Viger and it was a wonderful experience! It was a beautiful venue, the food was amazing, the staff outstanding and the ambiance was perfect! A one stop shop with the reception hall offering an outdoor ceremony in the courtyard. Alex was great to work who made sure to deliver top notch service. We were delighted with the entire celebration. Thank you Gare Viger staff !

It was nothing short of a perfect day! The venue, food, decor and service was top notch. So grateful for all the memories created that day, that we will cherish for a lifetime

I had very high hopes for this venue!!

I received a prompt responses to my initial inquiry and subsequent emails requesting information and confirmation of date availability for planning a 50th wedding anniversary celebration for our parents. Everything was great through to visiting the venue and meeting with Paula and her team. When I was leaving I asked the next steps to pay the deposit and secure the date. I was told to email once I confirmed with my family that we were good to go. I emailed confirmation later that evening (June 8).

It's now July 2, and after multiple emails and phone messages, I have not heard a word back from Paula. Nothing.

To say I’m disappointed is an understatement as everything about Four Sisters Farm checked all our boxes for what we were wanting for this special day.

Is it a beautiful space, yes!
Is it reasonably priced compared to other similar venues, yes!
Is the communication from the venue owner good, absolutely not!!! When planning any event no matter the size, good communication with potential and paying customers is KEY!!!

Bran and Paula are amazing people! Great food! Great staff! Beautiful venue!

I can't thank Four Sisters Farm enough for their outstanding service! We were in a bit of a last-minute situation, and Paula and her incredible team came to our rescue. From start to finish, they were there every step of the way, making sure every detail was perfect. The venue itself was transformed into a beautiful space that exceeded our expectations. It was everything we wanted and more. We're so grateful for their hard work and dedication. If you're looking for a venue that goes above and beyond, The Four Sisters Farm Wedding Venue is the place to be!

Had a great lunch at the little bistro. Friendly staff

So many activities and camps for kids. Both of mine have gone here for many years and done numerous different camps. You an enjoy craft fairs and one of a kind shows in the main hall, which is awesome. Too many different things to list, come see for yourself.

Attractive community centre in a large, old, nicely renovated building. It may have been a church or masonic temple in the past. The event I was at was in the large hall up the central staircase. The space is bright and airy with a high large domed ceiling. Tall windows on 2 sides of the hall let plenty of sunlight in and the interior lighting is excellent.

Had a booth for the Great Glebe Garage sale, event staff were helpful, clean washrooms, needs recycling bins.

I missed the monthly social dance event held in the beautifully domed hall. This dance program provides seniors good exercise opportunity as well as social interaction. Too bad that the social dance event is put on hold because of COVID-19 pandemic. I hope that the pandemic will be over soon and our life can get back to normal. Thumbs-up to Health Ottawa for a great job to control the pandemic!

Very nice community place…with a lots of activates.
Is sad the parking space is a struggle when are events

Beautiful venue! I attended a wedding here and everything was stunning—the garden, the trees and fountain created such a charming atmosphere. The service was excellent and very professional, and I loved the elegant linens and décor. I’ve been to many weddings, but this one truly felt special.

There are truly no words to describe how incredible this venue is. We had our wedding here and Riley made every single one of my visions come to life. She was attentive, kind and one of the best in the business. I truly could go on for this entire post of how amazing not only this venue is, but the staff, the aesthetic and the vibe. Riley thank you for everything you did to make our night so special and being the ABSOLUTE best.

The venue was absolutely stunning, and every detail of our wedding day was executed flawlessly by the incredible staff. Many of our guests commented afterward that they had never seen such impeccable coordination and attention to detail at a wedding venue.

Riley guided us through the entire planning process, answering all our questions promptly and making everything feel seamless. On the big day, Liane was there to assist, and she was nothing short of amazing—kind, helpful, and always ready to lend a hand.

Even with on-and-off rain throughout the day, the staff pivoted effortlessly, making adjustments with speed and grace to ensure everything stayed on track. Their professionalism and kindness truly made our wedding day unforgettable.

We couldn’t recommend this venue more highly!

(June 2024)

We recently celebrated our wedding at Graydon Hall in early September, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From our first meeting with Riley to the final moments of our big day, everything was seamless and memorable.

The food was exceptional, and the venue offers countless stunning spots for wedding photos—both indoors and outdoors. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our requests, always eager to help make the day as special as possible.

If you're looking for a venue that beautifully balances outdoor charm with elegant indoor spaces, we wholeheartedly recommend Graydon Hall.

On Oct 19 2024, our daughter and her fiancee celebrated their wedding at the beautiful Graydon Hall Manor.

It was a morning wedding, so my husband and I arrived at the facility at 8 AM. Since minute one, we experienced a delightful service.

One of the team members spoke to us in Spanish, our native language, and offered us a cup of coffee.

Later on, Sara, from Malaga Spain, very warmly took care of my family members and me in Spanish. Sara tirelessly kept checking on us with a smile during the event.

The team member at the expresso bar did a great job as well.

The event manager also warmly approached my husband and myself to get our feedback on the service.

We very much appreciated the personalized service that we received. Thanks!

The facilities at the Graydon Hall Manor are beautiful and very well maintained. The small chapel is lovely and has a good amount of chairs.
We had the liberty of walking around to take nice pictures in the gardens.
The parking is free and has plenty of space.

All in all, it was a great experience and we absolutely recommend the Graydon Hall Manor!
