In Toronto, happy hour events must adhere to the city's noise regulations to ensure they do not disturb the peace in residential and commercial areas. Generally, music and noise levels should not exceed the limits set by local bylaws, especially during evening hours. You must be mindful of volume levels, particularly if the venue is near residential buildings. Venues equipped with soundproofing measures are good options for minimizing disruptions.
The cancellation policy for happy hour venue rentals in Toronto varies by venue, but No Service at Bar Serene offers a particularly flexible policy. A full refund is provided for cancellations made at least seven days in advance, ensuring minimal financial risk for planners. If the cancellation occurs between 7 days and 24 hours before the event, a 50% refund is issued, providing some leeway for unforeseen changes. However, cancellations for events starting within 24 hours are non-refundable, encouraging commitment while allowing for some flexibility.
