The VandenBerg House is a 135 yr old Victorian house that has been converted to a private, intimate space. In 2014, the renovations began and within 6 months, The Vandenberg House was born. The owner, Christiane Tetreault, saw the vision of her guests enjoying smaller gatherings and was inspired to restore 1400 Queen St East to accommodate cozy personal and professional gatherings. Now operating since 2015, we have hosted over 600 events so we have the experience to create your event vision within your budget.

In 2022, The Vandenberg House maintains the historic look and feel with its original hardwood floors and structural features; it’s fashioned with chandeliers, rustic furniture and a fireplace which all gives this venue a sense of style.

Venue rental includes 28 white wood chairs with linen cushion. 8' barn wood tables and all additional furniture on-site. We have high speed wifi, a/v and bluetooth speaker. On-site we have a full kitchen for your party to warm food or for a chef to use.

Our venue is flexible and permits outside food and beverages. We have no noise limits so live music or dj is permitted on site.

Past Social Events: Micro weddings, Bridal Showers, Private Dinners, Baby Showers, Celebrations of Life, Birthday Celebrations
