All of the guests commented on how nice it was to have a waterfront wedding venue within the city as it felt like you were up north at a cottage without the drive (and Uber friendly). There were no lines at the bar as I've experienced at some weddings, coordination of vendors was all taken care of and they even were accommodating with our all our drink choices and made some custom cocktails for us. Highly recommend at least giving them a look and if you can get in you won't regret it!

And it wasn't due to lack of cleaning. Just an old washroom. The whole washroom needs an overhaul. I can only imagine what the men's washroom looks like. They should've renovated this place already. The Queen Elizabeth building is quite old. It was built in 1956. I would be more impressed with this place if they had renovated it.

There is a parking lot across the street from it. The venue is large and very beautiful. There are chandeliers coming down from the ceiling and the place has a grey palette with a modern feel which means that you can decorate it in any way you want. The staff here were really nice and were able to accommodate a wedding with two completely different cultures (chinese and italian) and cater to both cultural demands. Overall, great job to the team here.

Having an industrial loft atmosphere, this venue is right in the heart of downtown Toronto near the Entertainment district and hustle and bustle of King West. My partner and I had gotten engaged in 2019 where we had signed a contract with Second Floor Events after looking at many other venues in Aug 2019. Our wedding was supposed to happen in Oct 2020, but due to the pandemic, we were forced to postpone where we officially held our wedding reception at Second Floor events in Oct 2021. From the very first meeting with Nicole, the Events Producer, to tour the venue, to meeting our Event Coordinator, Cindy, we knew we were in great hands. When COVID hit, we had decided to postpone our Oct 2020 date to Oct 2021, something Second Floor Events was very accommodating with. We were able to choose a new date to our liking with no extra added costs. Due to pandemic restrictions, it was tough knowing when to start planning for our Oct 2021 as my partner and I eagerly waited to hear more news from the provincial government. Finally, as the pandemic restrictions slowly lifted, we reached out to our event coordinator, Cindy, about 2.5 months before our event was supposed to take place. With a short timeline to pull the whole event together, Cindy was responsive and answered all our questions during the planning process right to the day of the wedding. We were also surprised when we had the tasting how good the food tasted (which was very important!); we were also able to customize/change any aspects of the dishes we tried to our liking and tastes. During the wedding day, Cindy as well as the Second Floor Events staff was able to make sure things were more or less on schedule. Although we had a few hiccups, many guests raved about the food and what a great time they had. The beautiful venue itself added to the atmosphere of the entire night. As stressful as the planning was, we were glad and appreciative of the staff at Second Floor Events and wouldn't have imagined celebrating with our family and friends any other way. Overall, beautiful venue in the heart of downtown Toronto, great tasting food, and great staff to work with and coordinate your next event. Could not have asked for more! Thank you Second Floor Events!!

There was a coat-check for $2 on the left as you enter, and next the bar with a couple canned beers available, and then gender-neutral washrooms, which could easily accommodate the crowd assembled that night, with the stage wedged in the opposite corner. For this event, the elevated stage had a translucent screen on it with rear projectors illuminating it, and the entertainers were on the floor below. This worked well and added a dimension of visual art to the performance. The lighting was provided by projectors that shone onto the opposite wall from the bar and helped give the evening art-loving crowd an always-changing exciting mood-enhancing environment. Many of these 100 year-old theaters scattered around the city are threatened by development and condo suckiness, so long live vaulted hand painted ceilings, and art deco theaters repurposed for our delightment and joy, and long-live The Parkdale Hall!
