Book Launch · 120 guests · September 2026 · Main studio / Event room

Renting this Venue was really easy, especially as someone who has not hosted a party before. Dylan was a great host, very communicative, easy to understand, fair, and extremely helpful. The space is what you make of it, and there are definitely tools to help it become whatever you envision it as. We hosted our app launch party here and guest really enjoyed the intimacy and warm inviting nature of the space. The Earth tones and high ceilings make it feel both welcoming and minimal in the best way. The layout was different than what I understood it to be, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise for many of our guests who enjoyed going into a separate area for smoking exit. Overall, awesome place and lots of fun.

Meeting · 3 guests · June 2026 · Office Rental

Unfortunately, our experience did not meet our expectations for several reasons. - The venue manager was discourteous and unprofessional throughout at the day of the meeting. - We were charged HST in addition to the advertised price, despite the listing at the time of booking stating that taxes were included. We note that the advertisement appears to have since been updated. - The overall cleanliness of the venue was below an acceptable standard and did not reflect the condition presented in the listing. Please find attached photographs taken during our booking for your reference. As a professional organization, we rely on accurate advertising, transparent pricing, proper invoicing, and clean, professional venues for meetings with our clients. Unfortunately, our experience fell short in each of these areas. We hope this feedback will be taken constructively and used to improve the experience for future customers. Regards, FamilyBridge Supervision Services

About Diptych Studio

Diptych Studio is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

Diptych Studio is a photo/film studio organised as several distinct rentable areas across one property, enabling multi-room hires and varied set configurations.

Venue highlights: The venue contains a main studio/event room, office rental, a boardroom, a kitchen and a lounge, together with an on-site rooftop. Interiors connect to allow movement between areas during a single hire and support set builds across adjoining rooms.

Best for: Photography and video production, and small corporate meetings or workshops that benefit from multiple configurable internal areas.

Location: Old Toronto is the neighbourhood. Paid on-site and paid off-site parking are available and the building is accessible only by stairs, so crew should plan to carry equipment up steep steps.
