The lobby area to host a cocktail hour can be small and tight if you have a big crowd attending your event. I like that there's an area for the bar that's outside in the lobby area for guests to get drinks. Once the reception started, they moved the bar inside the hall. The hall is massive and very spacious. Seats and tables were very comfortable. Staff were very nice. I also saw one manager running around with a walkie talkie to ensure the night was running smoothly with the kitchen and servers. The washrooms were clean and tidy. Lots of stalls in the women's washroom. There's an upstairs as well with a balcony, which I'm assuming is where the bridal suite is. Food wise, the quality was OK. I was hoping the food was better actually. The bread rolls were very hard. Salad and lasagna were good. And the chicken and beef were decent as well. I think dessert was a chocolate brownie cake, which was too sweet. The staff were efficient and kept refilling our water. There's lots of parking outside the venue. And there's a small hut outside for people to hang out as well. The only downside at banquet halls is how thin the walls are. When we were listening to the speeches, you can hear the party next door blasting their music. I like that there's also security at the doors, and the doormen were very nice, always opening the doors for us. Overall, it's a very nice venue, and I would recommend it.

I also found staff had a tendency to replace wine bottles and open another one -resulting to elevated per bottle charge for tables -for the host particularly. Other than that, staff was very attentive. The lighting. Hmm I had a nice selfie by the bar before the lights dimmed down. The moulding across the wall made for a very simple background. The lobby and the main room with lights dim does make it a challenge to take a selfie without flash. So get a good professional photographer to capture moments.

I was afraid to touch anything when I first arrived but I quickly felt comfortable and at home. There's a small modern kitchen space on site for making coffee /tea. It is a house so there is one large space made up of the dining/living room, a good size sitting room, a small office and a kitchen with a nice porch. The staff were all very kind and accommodating. Everyone loved this cute little house and had a great time there. Highly recommend for any event.

I'm so glad I came here for their Wedding Open House tonight. Beautiful, cozy, cottage-like venue…read morewith lots of food going around, free drinks (one free alcoholic drink!), and talented entertainers. Best of all, I get to meet and talk to many knowledgeable and very helpful wedding vendors - from decor to DJs, and limo rentals to circus performers! Every bride-to-be should definitely come here, you will learn so much during this event! Fantasy Farm offers two very unique banquet rooms. It would be ideal if you're having a smaller wedding. The "Cottage" can hold roughly 100 people. It is accompanied by a beautiful pond and a deck where you can host a small wedding ceremony. It looks absolutely amazing during the warmer seasons with full bloom flowers all around! There is also an indoor fireplace where they can make your winter event warm and toasty! The "Make Believe Ballroom" is gorgeous. It can hold roughly 200 people with a nice bar and a HUGE outdoor grill! I've been to a wedding here last September and I absolutely loved it :D The outdoor BBQ during the wedding recpetion was a very nice touch. We had a delicious 4 course meal with salad, lasagna, grilled entree and dessert. Guests were able to walk outside to get their grilled steak/chicken/salmon entree with unlimited seasoned veggies and potatoes. This was probably the best wedding venue I have ever been to - simple yet elegant. Food was excellent, portions were huge, and open bar service was quick and courteous! This is definitely a hidden gem for hosting your special events in Toronto! Unfortunately, there is no way I can cut down from 300 guests to 200... and so, the search continues!

The dinner pricing and package was reasonable too and they offer outdoor BBQ! How cool is that? We did not end up having it at the venue though because we were afraid of mosquitos since the venue is surrounded by lush greenery and we have guests who are very picky about outdoor venues. I still want to recommend this place though because I think it's just lovely and if you're a bride who don't mind nature and all that comes with it, this might be for you.

DO NOT BOOK THIS BANQUET HALL - Horrible Experience from Start to Finish…read more Our experience with this banquet hall was a complete disaster, and I would never recommend it to anyone, especially not for an important event like a wedding. Let's start with the bridal room -- or what they claim is a bridal room. When I asked Jeet to direct me to it, he told a staff member in Hindi to "clean it before taking her." I was then led down to the end of a dirty basement hallway and shown a few tiny, stuffy rooms with no AC and one barely working fan. It was one of the most disgusting spaces I've ever seen -- completely inappropriate for any bride. Next, the decor situation was a mess. We had hired a third-party vendor to decorate, but Jeet failed to remove decorations from a previous event. Our team had to work around their leftover decor, which made setup extremely cramped and chaotic. As guests began arriving, the carpets were still dirty. I had to ask the manager 3-4 times to get someone to vacuum, and by the time they did, it was already too late -- guests were walking in as a worker was vacuuming the floor. Jeet actually told us to keep the guests outside while they finished cleaning. Unbelievable. We were also charged extra -- a few hundred dollars -- for microphone and speaker use because we had organized speeches. However, the sound system didn't work at all. When we notified Jeet, he brushed it off saying they were "working on it" and asked us to wait. Obviously, we couldn't delay the entire event while they took their time trying to fix it. As for the food, we were told we'd receive authentic Afghan food from their partner, Riaz Catering. What we got was anything but Afghan cuisine. The food was bland and disappointing -- most of our guests didn't even eat. Later we realized that another Indian party downstairs had been served the exact same food, falsely labeled as Afghan. On top of that, they just left the food out all night without properly storing or managing it. To make matters worse, the temperature inside the hall kept rising throughout the night. While the AC was working in the beginning, it was clear they were turning it down (or off) to cut costs, making the atmosphere uncomfortable for all our guests. In summary: 0/10. Jeet and the entire management team were completely unprofessional and disorganized. From the venue conditions to the service and food -- everything was below acceptable standards. Do not waste your time, money, or peace of mind booking this hall. You will be disappointed and frustrated, just like we were.

This place can host multiple events at the same time - I believe around 2-3. I like how they have coat hanging service right by the door. The washroom are big, spacious, well lit and clean. Evidently with the pandemic, COVID vaccination requirements are checked right at the door and masks are mandatory everywhere you go, except when you are sitting down and eating at the table. I like the open bar layout in the room I was in - it had a variety of drinks available and I love how it opens up to the grand lobby that's right beside it. This is perfect for weddings - doing some sort of mini photo booth; or birthday parties, where you can just hang around, mingle and see different table set ups. Inside the hall can probably host up to 15 tables or so. Great sound system, dance floor and high ceilings. I also like how they have spaced out the tablets are appropriate as possible to ensure social distancing. All the staff were also very accommodating and making sure each guests are served. It's tough nowadays with the pandemic to host large venues, but I'm glad Mississauga Grand was able to make everything easy to follow!

The venue is located close to the end of the subway line so it was easy enough for us to travel up from Toronto. It does include a ten minute walk to actually get to the hall after exiting the train. I loved the overall setup of the banquet hall. It felt intimate and fitting for a party of about 150-200 guests. The entryway included a coatcheck and multiple areas for bars to set up as well as activities for wedding guests. The inside hall itself was beautiful and spacious, allowing for both a ceremony as well as the reception to follow right afterwards. The staff here were just on top of it too in making sure we as guests were taken care of. I appreciated the staff making sure my special meal was provided throughout the evening and for also keeping our glasses full whenever the moment called.

**Christmas Cheers with a Touch of Glam**…read more Celebrated a Christmas party at Storys Building, and the experience was a mix of luxury, fun, and high energy. The first two floors are dedicated to dinner seating, while the third floor hosts parties and gatherings. The space worked, but with the number of people invited, it felt a bit tight -- something to keep in mind for larger groups. The vibe was fantastic. Drinks were expertly crafted, the bartenders were attentive, and a DJ kept the energy flowing in the background. As the night progressed, everyone hit the dance floor, and the party truly came alive. Bathrooms were plentiful and well-maintained, and the thoughtful touch of wellness kits in the ladies' room added a hint of luxury. One minor hiccup was the coat check -- it was a bit congested and struggled to accommodate all the coats. But my biggest suggestion for improvement would be the addition of an elevator. Climbing three floors in heels and dresses proved challenging for many, and an elevator would make the space more accessible without taking away from its elegance. Overall, Storys Building delivers a lively, luxurious, and memorable party experience. The energy, drinks, and attention to detail make it a spot worth revisiting -- just come prepared for a little stair workout if you're headed to the third floor.

I put a pair of sunglasses in my backpack's front pocket, I fully expected it to be crushed during coat check. The staff voluntarily assured me that they would make sure it was protected. I've been to other events where the coat check staff had lost my jacket, so the extra care on my belongings added to the positive experience. The staff there were pleasant and even remembered my face when I checked out my coat on the way out. The hors d'oeuvres were great, I enjoyed everything I tried, like the mini sliders, fried chicken, and bruschetta. We also had a taco station that was good too. I didn't expect any less since they are under the same hospitality group as Byblos and Patria, which I've dined at before and enjoyed. The biggest plus is the location, at the heart of the Entertainment District. It's close to many offices and the Financial District. Our cocktail hour ended in 2hrs but there are plenty of bars nearby to extend the get together for another drink. For example, Grace O'Malley's is just across the street and not too busy to grab a seat on a weekday night.

For me though, when you're in the business of making dreams come true, being just nice is the expectation, hence the average rating, though I am leaning more towards 3.5. Came here for a wedding recently and I've got to say, the decor was very impressive from the outside. With many banquet halls, they may be all bling'd up on the inside, but the outside looks like a warehouse entrance. Not with Hazelton, it looks like a luxurious chateau from the outside, surrounded by ample parking. Great first impression. The lobby and ballroom were also beautiful in their own right. Sparkling chandeliers and a spacious reception area allowed for a comfortable mingling experience. Staff were great throughout the experience. The hors d'oeuvres were passed around generously and when a glass was shattered, it was promptly cleaned up. The bartenders were efficient, though the bar was outside the ballroom and created an awkward crowd of people leaving to get drinks once in awhile. Onto what some argue is the most important part of a wedding, the food. Sadly, this is where I drew the line between average and good. The food here just wasn't...that good. The risotto was served prison-style, splat onto your plate from a guy with a ladle, varying in splat sizes. The steak, while pretty tasty, was a very well done, brown piece of meat with none of that desirable juiciness. The dessert was a pretty citrus sorbet nestled within a whole orange or a lemon. Great for Instagram, but way too sour to finish. All things considered, Hazelton Manor is still a solid place to host events, given its beauty. The food wasn't great for me but according to the other reviews, this might be just a matter of the choices that were made. In a city with a thousand banquet halls, this would be a good place to start looking. (48/100) - 2017
