Wedding Vendors in Toronto

A troubling example of how not to handle customer feedback. Unprofessional conduct and suspicious review activity.

As someone familiar with public service and consumer protection standards in Ontario, I find this business’s behavior troubling. While I initially intended to leave a simple one-star review, I felt it necessary to elaborate after seeing how the owner responds to other customers. Rather than offering respectful resolution, they accuse people of lying, call them competitors, and even threaten legal action and police involvement—all over honest feedback. This kind of intimidation is not only inappropriate but contradicts the spirit of Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act, which protects a customer’s right to share their experience without fear of retaliation.

Even more concerning is the pattern of reviews: before the recent complaints, the last review was from a year ago. Then suddenly, after receiving several critical reviews, they were met with a cluster of glowing 5-star reviews posted within the same day. This raises red flags regarding authenticity. According to Google’s review policy and the Canadian Competition Act, businesses are prohibited from posting fake reviews or misleading the public through manipulated testimonials.

Consumers have the right to fair, respectful service and honest representation. I urge anyone considering this business to read their public replies and patterns of activity carefully before making a decision!

Wonderful service provided. We loved Queena, she was very reliable. Without her, my business would have been very blatant. I can not say enough good things about her as I really loved her and her team. Her services were top notch. I highly recommend and she provided my orders on time always.

Great Selection. Staff is very helpful and nice.
Don’t believe all the bad reviews, they treat you according to your own attitude. You come with attitude, that’s what you will receive in return. Come in good spirits and you will get amazing treatment. ❤️

She has very good prices, I always buy from here . Her flowers are very good quality Queena Is a very honest person and I will always buy from her because she is a very caring and buys good products. I have been buying from her for 4 years and have always gotten the best flowers!

This company is a complete joke. Zero professionalism, zero accountability, and zero respect for customers.
They have no idea what they’re doing, and it shows. I’ve never dealt with such disorganized, careless service in my life.
Reaching out for help was a waste of time
no one responded, and when they finally did, they made things worse.
Save yourself the headache and avoid this place at all costs.

I WILL NEVER COME AND RECOMMEND THIS STORE!!!!!!!!

My overall experience could not have gone better. I rented tablecloths last minute for a very large event, and I was very impressed with the communication, the quality, the pricing and kindness from this company. Godric made it easy for me and included photos of his inventory for me to select. I will certainly be considering them for my next event. Thank you again.

Communication and set up prior to the event were great! Chair covers looked so elegant and matched our theme perfectly. Unfortunately, there was no after-hours contact number as staff did not arrive on time for pick up.

I organized a large conference with close to 700 people in Toronto. Event Linen Services provided us with separate chair covers and tablecloths for our luncheon and gala. They were reasonably priced compared to other vendors, and they got the job done well. They were very efficient in changing the chair covers and tablecloths in a short period of time. The customer service was quick and personable. I would recommend them for your event.

The team at Classic Chair Covers are passionate about meeting their client's requests. They truly have the most genuine customer service and I always look forward to more opportunities in working with them. Thank you Godric, Nick, and team for all your help thus far.

Large selection of linens. High quality products. I have been using their services for many years.

We photographed a wedding here and it was a truly great experience! Ricarda’s is an incredible venue - modern, elegant, and full of natural light, which made for stunning photos from morning to night. The staff were welcoming and professional, and the layout of the space worked perfectly for a seamless wedding day - from ceremony to reception.

The reception area was gorgeous and spacious, with a great vibe for dancing and celebrating. One highlight was the vibrant lion dance, which added so much energy and photographed beautifully thanks to the wide, open layout. Overall, this venue has everything a couple (and a photographer!) could want. Highly recommend for a wedding that’s stylish, stress-free, and full of natural beauty.

This review is specifically for the food. Whatever that yellow/orange soup is, gave me food poisoning and I woke up the next day feeling so ill. The venue is obviously fantastic but the food was NOT it. Horrible service to be feeding food that’ll make guests sick. I was not the only one that felt sick after eating the food too. If you’re coming here for an event, eat before.

Amazing and unparalleled venue! The helpful staff, especially Kaitie and Erika, are truly outstanding! The space gave us a wedding our family will never forget. Chef Julian’s food is delicious!

I was so pleased with the service I received, the food was amazing, very nice place, I’ll definitely come back.

Location is great. Love the ambiance and the food is heaven!!!!

I had the best experience organizing a work event with the help of the Fifth team at their Fifth & Terrace venue. Erin and Jamie from the events team were beyond great in answering my questions throughout my research and planning processes. They were polite, available and accommodating. On the day of the event, I arrived an hour early and the venue was perfectly set up and ready. The venue manager Andrey was helpful and was around many times, behind the scenes, coordinating his team and asking me if we needed anything. The rest of the venue staff, such as the elevator attendants, were busy bees as well and guided our guests in the right direction. The freight elevator that takes guests up to the Fifth & Terrace is so different and added to the unique experience of our guests (it looks like a tiny, beautifully set up room). The bar staff were amazing and so friendly that I found myself wanting to hang out with them at the event. I will definitely be keeping the few Fifth venues in mind for future personal as well as work events (it’s a large building with quite a few venues). Lastly, it was rewarding to receive positive feedback from my guests about the venue and the event.

Our clients dinner was a great success. Their planning team and day of staff were responsive from the start and such a pleasure to work with. Our clients, partners and staff were all impressed by the venue and food. It truly is one of the most beautiful rooftop dining rooms in Toronto. Perfect for corporate dinners that need an extra bit of exclusivity. Great job, The Fifth Events!

Our daughter's wedding celebration went off without a hitch. The venue was magical, flowers are the only decor you need as the setting creates the atmosphere. The Fifth's staff were extremely helpful even with last minute requests. Very detailed oriented. Moving from the terrace to the dining room and back to the terrace was fluid and gave guests a chance to mingle. Food was perfect, bartenders were exemplary and service was spot on and discreet. Fireplace gave a cozy feeling on a snowy day. The freight elevator was a highlight for many guests! Thank you to The Fifth for creating a wonderful memory.

I can't speak highly enough about this restaurant and the team that holds it all together and produces such an amazing dinner experience for groups of people as well as individuals. I put together 41 people on a moment's notice and the staff at The Fifth pulled everything off beautifully ... From the service to the person who arranged it all with me, to the quality of the food which is top line! Thank you to the whole team including Pina, Andre, Kim, the chefs, and all the other wait staff that took such good care of us!

We hosted our networking event at The Fifth's rooftop venue and cannot be more pleased with the evening. The food was excellent, made by a French Master Chef! Service was warm and professional, their entire team made sure everyone was taken care of. The event space itself is beautiful. It has an old-world European ambience and their famous elevator made for an unforgettable experience for our guests. Highly recommend this event venue in Toronto.

Dora was incredibly professional and super responsive! She got back to me very quickly, and the process of picking up/returning equipment was very smooth! Everything is also very reasonably priced!! Would recommend!!

Very professional and excellent service! We are a non profit that was putting on an event at a school and Dora was amazing! I would highly recommend her services. She is punctual, friendly and great with communication. It was a very good experience.

Thank you Dora!

Dora provided great service from arrangements to delivery and was very accommodating with adjusting times based to when I would be in the office. Delivery was on time and even provided extra tables/table cloths on the spot. We will be using Events You Want for all future work meetings.

Dora was amazing to work with! Definitely would recommend this business to others!
Thank you for everything, Tish

Dora was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is so positive and friendly and went out of her way to help us out with our wedding event. Everything was super clean and packaged for delivery in immaculate condition. She also was able to deliver everything early for us so we didn’t have to worry about this part of our planning. I highly recommend working with Events You Want for your next event - you won’t be disappointed!

⚠️ Don’t trust the reviews. The app/website sides with vendors. We hired one based on ratings and got terrible experience. When we left two honest review, it was deleted after the vendor disputed both rewards! Even after sending proof, the app said it could take months to review. This platform protects vendors, not users.

Don’t trust the reviews — the platform owner has ties with vendors.

We trusted the ratings and ended up working with a fraudulent vendor. When we shared our review, it was immediately removed, and we were asked to provide proof because the vendor disputed it. We submitted all the evidence, but the platform simply responded that reviewing it could take months.

Our team enjoys working with EventSource to attract leads and bookings for events of all types. The dashboard is easy to use and maintain and the sales rep (Jonathan) is so caring of his clients.

Johnathan was incredible to work with. He helped us set up our account, checked in on us regularly to see how it was going and was very hands-on. Incredible experience working with him and Eventsource.

EventSource has been a great way for our venues to showcase what we do best and reach a large audience to obtain special events! Our account Manager Jonathan Fruitman has given great advice and structure to our profiles. It is such a great platform and I would recommend to other venues in the city!

I came into Evolution Flower the day before my wedding, looking for a last-minute bouquet and boutonnière — and I’m so glad I did! The owner/florist was incredibly helpful, generous, and accommodating.

She took the time to help me choose a beautifully arranged spring-colored bouquet, and even created a matching boutonnière for me on the spot. Her creativity, kindness, and attention to detail truly made my day. I couldn't thank her enough!

The flowers were absolutely stunning and added the perfect touch to our wedding. I’m so grateful for the amazing service and beautiful arrangements. Highly recommend Evolution Flower to anyone looking for quality and care!

10/10 service! I will always support this flower shop. My flowers for my mother’s funeral service exceeded my expectations. I’m beyond grateful for the florist. Thank you so much.

Amazing service and attention.
The flowers were absolutely beautiful. I'm so thankful they helped me give a really special gift.

My fiancé has been gifting me flowers from here for almost 8 years. Each time they are SO beautiful and the florist creates a unique arrangement. I love them!

Bought flowers for a recent funeral in mid-February 2025.. they were so beautiful and reasonable.
The owners were extremely helpful with suggestions, and our family was quite pleased with the outcome. All orders were delivered in a timely manner.

Excellent service by Evolve Limousine. They came recommended by a neighbour. So I hired them to provide round trip transportation, for a birthday lunch. Quick and easy to book over the phone! Great Customer Service by Richard, and our Driver Ferid was awesome. Each passenger enjoyed a complimentary beverage of Natural Spring Water (Flow). I highly recommend the model X and Evolve limo service to anyone, especially my family and friends.

The company provides the best service with immaculate vehicles and Richard was an excellent driver who went above and beyond for the best experience. I would highly recommend this company and will definitely be using them again.

Booked Evolve to go to the airport for my work trip. They were punctual, polite and friendly. The driver loaded my luggage and gave me a complimentary water for the ride. I had a driver pick me up from the airport as well and it was the same amazing service. I will be booking them for all my work and personal trips. Definitely recommend.

Evolve Limousine is an amazing company run by very professional people. They are super accommodating and polite and very friendly. I took my 13year old son from Toronto to Niagara falls for a little getaway as the covid restrictions finally started lifting. Evolve Limousine made the trip so much better as we had such a great experience using their services. It was the most smooth comfortable ride we ever had. It was enjoyable and felt like the time just flew by. Very spacious, very comfortable for longer rides. Room to put anything you need including bags, drinks. Also has multiple usb outlets directly in front of your seats in the middle where the cup holders are so you can charge up any device you might have. I would definitely use this service again and are already planning the next trip away using Evolve. I would never go with any other company again. I highly highly recommend this to anyone whether your a high class executive/business owner, businessman, family, friends, special event of any kind (prom, wedding)

I have been using Evolve Limousine service since April 2020 for pickup and rides to Pearson Airport. The service level is phenomenal and they work very well with you when you have changes in your flight arrival and departure times. I appreciate the fact that they are environmental friendly with their car fleet. I never have to think twice of what Limousine service to use…..I always go to Evolve.

We had the BEST night and so did our guests. They were raving about the fabulous food, the amazing bar and how unique and elegant the venue was. We had the best experience with Samir and his team that night and in the months leading up to our big day! We couldn’t have picked a more perfect venue!

I recently filmed a wedding for the first time at EWG and was very impressed. The venue is spacious, featuring two beautifully designed banquet halls. The elegant decor and thoughtful layout provided a stunning backdrop for the event. The staff were professional and accommodating, ensuring everything ran smoothly.

From a filmmaker's perspective, the lighting is low so better to bring your own lights to capture high-quality footage. The outdoor areas were equally picturesque, perfect for capturing memorable moments. Overall, EWG is an outstanding venue for weddings and events, and I look forward to working there again.

Thank you!

We just held an event at the Eglinton West Gallery. The venue is beautiful - large, spacious, and immaculate. We had a marketplace in the front room, with a panel and speaker discussion in the larger space. There was excellent room for people to shop and venture in the front, as well as the main room. The staff at Eglinton West Gallery are some of the kindness people I have worked with. All exceptionally nice and warm, willing to help, and ensure everything was able to run perfectly and effortlessly. The team in charge are beyond generous with their time and help. Without question would run to work with them again as the process was simple and without any stress. What a wonderful group of people!! Truly.

We truly had a fantastic experience working with EWG for our wedding. Frances was professional and kind and a pleasure to work through the planning with. The team was accommodating of our vision and allowed us to bring in whatever we needed to make the day feel like our own. We kept our decor pretty minimal because the venue speaks for itself. It was the only space we saw because it checked every box - beautiful and rustic venue, string lights and plenty of locations to take photos, a bridal suite with a safe, and a convenient location with plenty of parking for our guests.

We had a great time running our Photo Booth at this stunning venue! The urban-industrial style space is perfect for any event and our wooden booth complemented their decor perfectly! Gorgeous!

Had free passes from the soccer game. Lines were not too bad early, got busier as the day went on. Food building had lots of options and of course the 1.99 spaghetti! We took the train down, easy access right from the GO. Would definitely go back. They have refillable water stations around the grounds, bottles water was 5.80 up to over 7.00 so I would recommend packing some!

The exhibition, then known as the Toronto Industrial Exhibition, first took place in 1879, largely to promote agriculture and technology in Toronto and area. Agriculturists, engineers, and scientists exhibited their discoveries and inventions at the CNE. The event has since expanded to include a carnival, live music, parades, an air show, various entertainments, sporting events, as well as art displays and specialty vendors and foods. Special events include the Warriors' Day Parade, the Labour Day Parade and the Canadian International Air Show.
It’s kinda crazy busy place to be but for sure so much FUN for any age🤪🤩🎡🎠🎢🎟️
Expect to spend so much 🤑💲💲specially on food 🍿🍟🍕🍔🌭🍗
Go early and bring your snacks with you & water 💧 bottle

Went for CNE. much more spread out this year with noticeable vendors missing. Less sampling and prices used to start at $10 and continues to climb. Addition of banshell performances was nice. We miss all the buildings and things for kids to do that weren't rides. Grounds were pretty well kept.

How could you not love the CNE??!! It is a Toronto tradition. I have visited the CNE since I was a little girl. When my parents first moved to Canada they lived right across the street. They were introduced to the CNE before they had kids and then introduced us when we were kids and many years later I am now going to the CNE with my daughter.
I drove down because I know that I would be shopping. I parked at the Ender Care Center which was 45.00 during the week. I arrived at 11:00 a.m. and the traffic was not that bad. From the princess Gates on Lakeshore to entering the parking garage it was about 15 minutes. I bought my ticket on the website prior to the opening of CNE to save a couple bucks. Once you get to the parking garage you just scan the barcode on your ticket to enter. From the parking garage you have direct access to the enercare center where all the retailers are. I prefer this spot for convenience.
I absolutely love taking the day to walk the Enercare Center, the food building, the arts and farm exhibits. Its a great place to support independant retailers and try unique foods.
I enjoy the crowds, sounds of people enjoying rides and games. Music from the music stages and the sounds of the air birds practicing before their grand finale air show.
A great way to end the summer. I cannot wait to visit again next year!

Had such a wonderful stroll through the iconic Princes’ Gates at Exhibition Place! This majestic Beaux‑Arts archway—completed in 1927 and spanning about 45 m wide and 20 m deep—makes for a breathtaking gateway to the CNE and the waterfront  .

👍 What I Loved:
• Stunning architecture: The triumphal arch and fluted colonnades are beautifully crafted, topped with symbolic sculptures—a classic Toronto landmark .
• Vibrant ambiance: Great atmosphere during events like the Canadian National Exhibition—crowds, flags, and lively energy. Even on quieter days, it’s a perfect spot for photos or a relaxing walk .
• Convenient location: Easy to reach via Lakeshore and Strachan, just steps from the waterfront, TTC, and GO transit—parking nearby too.

🚶 Ideal For:
• Tourists looking to snap a classic Toronto moment
• Locals wanting a scenic walk or backdrop for photos
• Visitors attending fairs, races, or exhibits through the gates

✨ Pro Tips:
• Head there during non-peak hours for peaceful photos
• Snap a picture framed by the arch, especially with the lake or skyline behind

Overall: A spectacular landmark that adds grandeur and history to Toronto’s lakeside. Whether you’re visiting for an event or simply passing by, it’s a must-see gateway that never disappoints.

Our first trip to Europe as a couple. Loved it. Shelley was an amazing coordinator. I really want to thank her for taking us through all the intricacies of private tours and trains, private transfers and really cool hotels. It was a blast and we will return next year. Thank you Shelley!

Hi Caroline,
You are a very dedicated and efficient person. The Montigo bay Jamaica family trip that you arranged was fantastic one. We had a great time. We appreciate your effort and time during the Air Canada strike. You are a very kind and caring person and made our trip come true. We are so happy that we found you. Thank you so much. We strongly recommend everyone to choose you as their travel agent and we will surely come back to you in the future holiday needs. Behalf of our family I thank you again.

Poulose and Devassy families

We recently used Caroline to plan our trip, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, she was absolutely fantastic! Every detail was thoughtfully handled – from booking flights and accommodations to organizing tours and providing helpful travel tips.

What really stood out was her responsiveness and genuine care. she took the time to understand what we wanted from our trip and tailored everything perfectly. Even when we had last-minute questions or changes, she was quick to respond and incredibly accommodating.

Thanks to her expertise and planning, our trip was smooth, stress-free, and full of memorable moments. I highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a top-notch travel experience. We will definitely be booking through her again!

Kristen booked our unforgettable trip to Curacao. She answered any questions we had promptly and made sure we were all set to go. All we had to do was enjoy. Thanknyou so much for the incredible experience. We will be booking our next trip with Kristen soon!!!

Staying at Dreams Curacao Resort Spa and Casino was a great option for a family vacation! We would recommend Curacao to all families who are looking for an authentic island carefree experience, filled with beautiful, colorful memories, rich historical culture and a safe island to explore. The beach was beautiful and the water was crystal clear. I highly recommend a snorkeling boat tour with Irie tours. Irie tours will give you a most authentic snorkel tour experience in Curacao! The food on the resort was decent. The staff was exceptional and went out of their way to make our stay wonderful.
Thank you Mary for going above and beyond when planning our vacation details! We can't wait to plan the next vacation!

As a man with over a dozen suits, I found this company very unprofessional. I stopped by to grab some last-minute clothes for an event I wasn't prepared for. The woman didn't listen to what I had to say - she argued with me about my preferences. I've honestly never had that before. If I don't think it looks good, why would you debate that with me?

She was very dismissive of my feedback and told me as I was leaving that I'll be back once I read the reviews on the business... I won't. I live nearby and I'm not the first to have this issue.

They're there to sell you clothes for a markup and to tell you you're wrong about your preferred fashion. Not worth the money.

Unfortunately, my experience at this store was disappointing. While the selection of products was adequate, the owner's attitude left a lot to be desired. I found them to be dismissive and unnecessarily rude, which made the overall interaction uncomfortable. There was a clear lack of customer service, and the egotistical behavior made it difficult to feel respected or valued as a customer. I hope they consider improving how they treat people in the future.

They have the best collection of mens wear and are very knowledgeable.

I visited Fabio Menswear today looking for some nice clothes for a business party. Until this point, I have never bought anything outside of retail stores nor have I ever needed nicer clothes (only been to a wedding once and lucked out on slightly ill-fitting suit). To be completely honest, I was anxious not knowing what I want or what I need.

Marco and Nicole greeted me with enthusiasm and was absolutely patient with me as I try to articulate what I was looking for. At first, it was all trial and error. I tried on whatever caught my attention, but Marco kept asking the right questions to narrow down options. His passion and expertise were apparent. He walked me through different options and provided feedback on how to properly tailor the items I picked out. Nicole helped me get the right length for the blazer/jacket and pants I picked out. All in all, Marco and Nicole made me feel welcomed and important the moment I stepped in their store.

I would recommend this store anybody looking to feel great and look amazing. Their customer service skills are impeccable. I'm so glad I got to spend my afternoon with them. And as long as they are in business, they I will continue to support them.

Just had to take a moment and appreciate Fabio Menswear! I recently visited to pick out a new suit and was blown away by the experience. Beyond their incredible customer service, what really impressed me was the professional advice I received. As someone who doesn't live and breathe menswear, it was really helpful to have expert guidance. They took the time to understand my needs, preferences, and even my personality to help me find the perfect suit. Their advice on fit, style, and even accessorizing was spot on. Incredible experience!!!

This is so sooo late, but I still wanted to put my review here. Daniela did my makeup for my wedding in June 2024 and it was SO perfect! Working with her was really easy and after my trial I knew I could just relax and Daniela would make magic happen on my wedding day. And of course she did. The look was wonderful - everything I'd imagined and more! Since my reception was the next day, she recreated the look the next day and I loved it. Thank you Daniela!

I had contacted Daniela to do some event makeup for me and from coordinating a date and time to the actual appointment itself she was a real pleasure to work with. Daniela did a wonderful job in elevating my features but what impressed me the most was that I could look in the mirror and still feel like myself. She had been cognizant of the time and duration of the event including checking in on what colours I would wear so she could apply the right amount of makeup and ensure everything she chose would compliment my whole look. If you’re looking for a natural elevated look, I’d highly recommend Daniela as I would gladly contact her again for my next major event. Thank you again Daniela for making me feel amazing!

Daniela is such a lovely person to with work with. I appreciated that she accomodated our schedule. She did exactly what I requested & her prices are good. I got lots of compliments on my make up.

For my (new) husband and I, one of the biggest factors we were looking for when searching for wedding vendors was responsiveness. You could hire the fanciest stylist and most well-known makeup artist in Toronto, but what if they take 10 days to reply to your email or only give you the time of day a week before your wedding? That might not be a problem to some couples, but it was to us. It actually took awhile for us to find a makeup artist in Toronto who a) didn't have certain demands regarding travel, packages, etc., b) didn't take 5 days to respond to us, c) actually showed genuine compassion and interest in their work and craft, and for their client.

I met Daniela a few months before our wedding, and knew she was the one! Out of over 20 makeup artists in Toronto that I contacted, she was the only one who suggested an in-person meeting to talk about my wedding. Honestly, I can't even express how much I appreciated that. She came to our meeting prepared, actually took the time to take notes and understand what I'd be wearing, the look and style I was going for, etc. I knew from the very start that, with Daniela, I was in very good, talented, and responsible hands. And as a bride, trust in your vendor is so key - and I trusted Daniela fully!

On our wedding day, Daniela came early and prepared, and was totally unfazed when my mom changed her mind about what she wanted. She is the epitome of creativity, talent, and professionalism.

And most importantly - I loved the look she gave me on our wedding day! She can do so many types of looks, and can totally diversify if you ask her to. Show her a picture of what you want - and she'll replicate it. She is so incredibly talented, and you absolutely can't go wrong with choosing her to do your makeup, for whatever occasion, wedding or otherwise!

Thank you so much, Daniela, for being a part of our wedding day! Her service is an experience beyond 5 stars.

Daniela is truly Toronto's BEST make-up artist! She is incredibly talented and knowledgeable. She is prompt, professional and SO nice. She listens to your preferences and matches it to perfection. I cannot wait to work with her again!

The rooms were older and could use them updating but that was overshadowed by the fact that the staff were outstanding! We would stay there again just based on that.
The location was perfect as well.
The breakfast was typical but again, the breakfast staff was great!

Great experience staying one night before a flight and utilizing their long term parking option. Friendly staff, clean comfy rooms. Came back after a week gone and my car battery was dead! Despite being almost midnight the staff was happy to track down a battery pack (it was dead too) and when that didn't work they helped us push the car to pop the clutch and get it started the old school way! Thank God for manuals.

Terrible stay! Stayed solo one night. When I arrived at the room the bathroom was dirty. Glasses of water on the counter. Toilet paper roll was broken and on the floor. Black stains all over the carpet.
The best part was another guest walked into my room around 130am.
Needless to say I will never return.

Checked in with a friend under his name, The rooms and the hotel itself are clean. I had a good rest night. In the morning of July 26 before I checked out I went to get breakfast at 9:24 there was a long line mainly family with children I waited in line and now it’s 9:30.
The staff members told us breakfast is over and started taking the down the setups and some of the prepared foods to the back room. I approached one of staff member to keep serving for those who are in line. The answer was “breakfast is over at 9:30” I tried to explain to them a dozen of us were in line before 9:30 but still no breakfast. I can’t believe this hotel is also part of Marriott.

We stayed here for one night before a flight. The room itself was spacious, clean enough, and generally comfortable, but definitely showing its age. Breakfast in the morning was extremely busy, and we noticed a strange stain on the wall in our room. We couldn’t get the Wi-Fi to work at all, and one of the shampoo containers had broken off the shower wall.

One big disappointment was the pool. We’d been looking forward to it, but when we went down we were told it was being drained and was unusable. They suggested the hot tub instead, but it had just been topped up with cold water, the jets weren’t working, and there was such a strong chlorine smell that one of my friends’ skin was burning and she almost felt sick from the fumes.

Overall, it was fine for a quick overnight stay—comfortable bed, convenient location—but the maintenance issues and pool situation were a letdown.

I recently stayed at the Fairmont Royal York in their Fairmont Gold division, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The service throughout my stay was outstanding. The hotel staff were warm, attentive, and truly luxurious.
We had a beautiful suite with a spacious living room and elegant bathrooms, which made the stay feel even more special. The food was amazing, with every meal prepared and presented at the highest standard.
One highlight I noticed was Clockwork, the stunning restaurant in the lobby area. They offer an afternoon tea experience that I unfortunately didn’t get the chance to try this visit, but it’s on the top of my list for next time!
Overall, the Fairmont Gold experience exceeded my expectations in every way, and I can’t wait to return!

We stayed in two deluxe double rooms and were very happy with how spacious and comfortable they were. The staff were welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home. The cleaning staff were some of the nicest and friendliest people I’ve ever met! The hotel is in an excellent location, directly across from Union Station and just steps away from Scotiabank Arena. The only downside was the bathrooms. They feel a bit outdated and have nooks and corners that are difficult to clean, which collect dust and hair from previous guests. Overall, we had a great stay and would be happy to return.

The hotel is beautiful and a great location. Just right across from Union Station which is easy access to airport and a short easy walk to Scotia Bank arena if you have an event there. Easy walking distance to area restaurants, shopping districts and the waterfront.
The room we had was spacious and beautifully decorated and very clean. We received a very nice personal welcome card for my son and I attending Lady Gaga concert, also a complimentary fruit and cheese plate.
The staff from check in/out, concierges, restaurants wait staff, room cleaning staff were all so nice and so very helpful with any questions we had.
We ate at each restaurant/bar ...all excellent!!!

An iconic hotel with a rich history. I only spent one night, but everything was pretty dapper. At my request, they even got me a room with a view of the CN tower. Room was mostly clean, except for behind harder to reach areas. Facilities were good - gym well stocked - and the fine dining was delicious. Staff were very polite and professional. Of course, expect to spend a lot on everything, but that's to be expected at a five star hotel. Overall very happy with this experience.

Just had the pleasure of a three night stay, where we mentioned that we were celebrating our anniversary. We were upgraded a room complimentary and were surprised with chocolate covered strawberries and sparkling water in our room. Such a nice surprise and touch from the hotel! The service and location of the hotel are amazing! Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel/and stay there in the future once again. Thank you for everything!

Complete clown show.
I called FRO five times today, and was hung up on before I could even say hello for each of the first four calls. I sat on hold for 40+ minutes each time. Finally on my fifth call someone answered. After 1 hour and 23 minutes on hold. Refused to provide any answers for my questions. Refused to provide her name to me when I asked for it. Refused to escalate to a supervisor when I requested it. Just sat there in silence not answering me.

Must be a great job to have. Paid probably pretty nicely for being a government employee. Weekends off. Get the freedom to decide which calls to answer, or if you want to have an extended lunch and not take any more calls for the day. Then refuse to do your job when you do decide to answer the phone.

This is a government agency that needs top to bottom reform. Who do we contact about this?

Why does their phone system keep hanging up on me???
Are agents hanging up on calls to get out of them?
The last agent seemed soo dense, i explained everything, and she asked the most irrelevant question. So obvious she wasn't listening and couldn't care less.
The previous agent was trying to be helpful, but i was hung up on.
This Ministry is so far behind the times. Who uses snail mail anymore?? Why can't correspondence be through email??
It's almost 2026 people!

This is the most inadequate delinquent government office ever.My son made all his child support payments based on the court order he received before he was able to setup with fro. Always communicating with his case worker sent the proof of payment then was told it was not received mailed the documents with registered mail . After many calls a response was received only to be told they have to verify with his kids mother she received the funds . And to make this worse this was reported to my son credit bureau and is showing as debt owed . Make this make sense ???? Now we have a mortgage renewal and this is on his credit bureau how can my son get help when nobody answers their damn phone at this office. This office seriously needs to be investigated these employees are screwing up peoples lives by their errors and it needs to be stopped.

I have been dealing with the Family Responsibility Office (FRO) for over 10 years, particularly with the 'Interjurisdictional Support Order'. Despite providing all necessary paperwork from the beginning, receiving a couple of payments, and having payments enforced a few times, I am facing significant issues.

After years of non-payment and continuous back-and-forth with FRO, the support owed to me has exceeded $25,000. Now, they are requesting court order documents from November 2015 to proceed with a new enforcement?!?!?! I would not have known about this requirement if I hadn't called for an update. To make matters worse, they want to charge $1 per page for hard copies or $3.50 for each page that requires certification by court staff.

This situation is incredibly frustrating, especially as a single mother of three. It is disheartening to see that the government services we rely on are not effectively supporting families in need. Despite applying for my ex's driver's license suspension, which was supposedly enforced, he was still able to cross the border and shop freely.

I rarely write reviews, but this experience has left me no choice. The government needs to address these inefficiencies to better support families like mine.

Atrocious organization through and through. An exposee should be done about the lack of service and inability to handle any number of calls. >122 minutes in queue now... hearing an automated message repeat to stay on the line to maintain my position in queue, and how its not normally this busy. Still no answer! Am seeking the ombudsman address now. There is no way this is acceptable for a call center. 2hrs 3min 34sec later the voice says they are experiencing technical difficulties and cut the line.

Kristina was absolutely amazing! She did hair and makeup for me, my mom, and my sister on my wedding day and completely killed it. She listened to what we wanted, learned from the trial, and delivered perfectly on the day. Tiffany was so easy to communicate with throughout the whole process—scheduling was a breeze, Kristina was on time, professional, and kept everything running smoothly.
Yes, it’s a bit on the pricey side, but it’s 100% worth every penny for the quality and peace of mind you get on such an important day. We couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out—thank you, FancyFace!

Zohal did my makeup for my wedding and it was absolutely stunning. I’ve never felt more beautiful! She followed my inspo photos to perfection, was so warm and welcoming - I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist. The fancy face team did all of my bridesmaids as well and they looked gorgeous. Tiffany was beyond responsive throughout the booking process, addressed all my questions, and was so easy to work with. Highly recommend :)

As someone who is incredibly particular about my hair and make up, fancy face was incredible to work with and truly met me where I was at. They were patient and made sure I was 100% happy with the look before my wedding day, and on my wedding day I never felt better! Thank you to the team :)

Sunshine did an amazing job on my wedding hair and makeup, as well as for my mom and sister—they loved her! She listened to my preferences, used products for my sensitive skin, and made sure I still looked like myself. My makeup lasted all night and looked flawless. Highly recommend!

I would like to thank Fancy Face for their exceptional hair and makeup services on my wedding day! I had never had my hair and make up done before and it looked stunning and lasted throughout the whole day! I received so many compliments!

Their customer service was beyond outstanding. Tiffany’s communication prior to the wedding day was amazing as she responded promptly to any questions I had. The team of hair and makeup ladies arrived 20 minutes early and were very professional and friendly. They listened to any requests we had and were so helpful and finished within the time frame we needed. The whole experience was fantastic and made everyone feel so special on the day.

I would absolutely recommend Fancy Face services and products for any future brides or any special occasions!

Always a great style at Fantamie Grooms. Titan loves Karen and comes out looking fresh! He loves going to the dog park after to show off :). Go there - you will be very pleased!!

Karen is so wonderful with every dog! We have been bringing our Cockapoo since she was a little pup (now 3) and she loves Karen! Thanks for always taking such great care of our girl!

So happy we found Karen at Fantamie Grooms! Our 8 month old English cocker spaniel has been to her twice so far. Karen does such a great job. Very reasonably priced. Pup seemed very happy to be dropped off the second time which is a great sign!

I've been taking our Cavalier King Charles spaniel here for last three years and it's been fantastic. Karen is great with animals and our guy loves going to see her. I don't hesitate to recommend this place.

My dog despises getting his nails clipped but the groomer used a calm, reassuring voice throughout this service and calmed him down. They didn’t baby him, they just reassured him that he was OK. 🥲 We are no return customers!

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.

I was searching for a custom suit for my wedding and was recommended to visit Fari Hara by my wife’s friend. We met with Richard, and his energetic demeanor immediately put us at ease, making us confident that we had made the right choice. Richard provided excellent recommendations for suit styles and types that would suit our preferences. The suit I wore on my wedding day made me feel confident and stylish. I was very happy with the suit and the exceptional service I received from the team at Fari Hara.

For my wedding, I went to suit stores across Toronto including Atelier Munro, Surmesur, Soren Custom, and Suitsupply and I can confidently say that Fari Hara had a much more appealing selection for price point. Richard is clearly very passionate about fashion and clothing, can give recommendations, and is also very personable - each of my groomsmen had a fantastic experience here as well.

I had my wedding suit made by Richard at Fari Hara, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. Richard was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure the suit fit perfectly and reflected my personal style. The craftsmanship was excellent — every detail felt thoughtful and precise. Beyond the quality, what really stood out was how comfortable and easy the whole process felt. I never felt rushed or pressured, just well taken care of. Highly recommend Richard and the Fari Hara team for anyone looking for a custom suit with top-notch service.

I had the pleasure of getting my custom double-breasted tuxedo made here for my wedding, and I could not be happier with the experience or the final result from Fari Hara. From the very first fitting,Richard’s attention to detail, professionalism, and eye for style were second to none.

The tuxedo fit perfectly—sharp lines, flawless proportions, and a level of comfort I didn’t think was possible in formal wear. On the wedding day, I received countless compliments, and I can honestly say I’ve never felt more confident or looked better. The craftsmanship and quality of the fabric were outstanding, and it was clear that every detail was carefully considered to make it truly one of a kind.

If you’re looking for a tailor who can deliver elegance, precision, and a tuxedo that makes you feel incredible, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Thanks a bunch Richard. You made my wedding day all that more memorable.

I was looking for a custom suit and tux for my wedding. I met up with Richard who walked me through different fabrics based on my budget. Richard is super helpful and responsive in helping you figure out your look and make sure your needs are met. He make's solid suggestion and guides you correctly so your suit looks perfect on you.

Once, the suit was ready I went in for a fitting and everything fit perfectly! There was minor alteration after my first fitting, and I can't wait to wear my suit and tux, and looking forward to working with Richard again in the future.
