Wedding · 35 guests

The space was beautiful, I booked both spaces for my wedding of 40 people. The host was very respectful and responsive.
There are no elevators to get up to the 3rd floor. Moving equipment in was a little challenging

30th Birthday Party · 80 guests
· May 2025
Overall a great venue to book out for your events! The host, Andy, was prompt with his responses, communicative, and transparent on pricing, policies, and anything you may need. The space came with everything you see in the photos, plus more if you need for a cost. There are LED lights to set the mood and TV you can hook up too also. 2 washrooms in the hall which were clean. There is AC which is a great plus, but can still get a bit hot depending on the # of people you have inside. A mini fridge. Decently sized Bluetooth speaker, but we ended up renting out bigger speakers as we had 70+ guests. If you have an event in the evening, loud music can comfortably be played without disturbing neighbours. Great central downtown location, and pricing was reasonable. Would book again!
