I ended up adding him on Facebook and keeping in touch with him because he was such good vibes. My favourite part about the studio was all of the light that came in through the giant windows. Daniel says that we got lucky when we shot because it was really sunny that day. He has lights available for rent as well, just in case your rental coincides with a cloudy day and not as much natural light flows through. Aside from that, I think he has some of the most reasonable prices to rent photography studio space in Toronto. Would definitely recommend.

You can use stairs or an elevator. The entire place is extremely modern. They have touch panels for temperature control and AV control. There many equipment, including several large screen TVs on a movable pedestal. They even have garbage cans that open by waving your hand in front of a sensor! Their website is easy to navigate, and you can register for classes there. On Mon to Sat, they have programs for babies, toddlers, kids, adults, and seniors. For kids, there are classes in science, cooking, art, and music. For adults & seniors, there are classes in art, cooking, fitness, and music. Some of the classes have been adapted for special needs kids and their caregivers. The community centre opens the space for Autism Ontario on a Sun, provides the cookies, coffee, tea, and a receptionist, all for free! My son was here to play chess against other children. Luckily, he found someone who was almost equal to his skill level, so he definitely enjoyed his two hours there. During the summer, they also hold summer camps. There is free WiFi. The place is wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms, and they are wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2023-262

I wish i could say the same for the glassware, there were a couple whiskey glasses that had jagged edges, which is super dangerous; for an venue this expensive, I would hope there's attention to detail for this.

When it got to my time to shop for wedding venues, I booked an appointment and met with the coordinator. The appointment did not disappoint. The venue is very beautiful, just like the photos with lush garden, beautiful fountain, and an air of dreaminess. The manor itself is very spacious and there is lots of photo opportunities. Even just coming here for a photo session is worth it in my opinion (and more affordable). The neighbourhood isn't as nice as the manor, it's stuck beside an apartment building which is kind of interesting but can easily be avoided in your outdoor pictures.

The Toronto Hunt Club is really one of those places that is so well hidden, that you need to know what you are looking for, in order to locate it. As a place that is hosting special events, the seating count is small to mid-lowish head count, I would probably recommend no more than 120 to 130 people in attendance. They seem to only book 1 wedding a night, so you would be sharing the space with club members. But overall the members are in their own area and your paths won't really cross much, unless you're out on the grounds taking photos, etc. The view is amazing and there is a wonderful feel to the place that makes you forget you are in Toronto; with the expansive view of the Lake and the Bluffs in the distance (it does get a bit foggy/misty in the morning - but if your ceremony is in the afternoon - it clears up so you get a gorgeous view) They have a large private space for the Bride to get ready in and they keep you plenty refreshed with refreshments and food for the big day. The staff, in general, are super pleasant and very welcoming. From what I saw, they were quite easy to work with as well. The food is quite excellent, as well. One small minor detail is that dance floor is outside, so just be aware that bugs ( namely Mosquitos) can become an issue. Also, the sound equipment could be upgraded a tad, since we had a hard time hearing people talk and the speeches.

As a private membership club, i was lucky enough to be able to experience The Toronto Hunt as a…read moreguest at a wedding. Now since i did not come here to golf, i'm only reviewing this place from the perspective of a wedding venue. I was blown away. I've been to many different venues around Ontario, and nothing comes close to comparing to this place. With lush green spaces on the edge of the lake, this place is breathtaking. It's strength is in the amples of outdoor spaces. They even have a champagne somelier on staff for sabrage which is an excellent touch to mark your celebration. The food is exceptionally good and prepared to perfection. This is rare at any wedding venue when cooking for large groups. I think the reason for this is because they cap capacity. The place only holds about 100 ppl for dinner. Also, they have an excellent chef on staff. The bridge and groom showed and discussed their dinner options with me whilst planning the wedding. They boiled it down to three options, but it was a tough decision because everything that The Hunt could prepare was impressive. It really took banquet food to an elevated experience with simple refined touches. And i have to say that the prices were fair and not outrageous at all. Since the wedding was a mixed British/Indian wedding, the Hunt Club went out of their way to prepare dishes tailored to the bride and groom that were not typical to the preparation the Hunt is used to. The anglican and indian ceremonies were separated by a high tea course (all excellently and traditionally prepared), followed by indian inspired canope's. They were authentic to my surprise. They even prepared a special recipe tea that the groom is famous for, and they got it almost bang on. I'm so impressed. If you are having a smaller wedding and looking for that special venue, this is the place. Beg borrow steal to get yourself connected with a member here. My only complaint is that the serving staff are a little young, so don't have the finely refined serving skills that would complete the picture.

The venue itself was unique, easy to find on King Street, and had lots of space to move around in - there were two floors that we had access to. Loved the solarium area of the upstairs part of the space, which had lighted trees set up in it and overlooked a gorgeous little parkette with a water fall. They also had amazing pieces of art on the wall and had tables set up with various colour schemes for consideration. We were also treated to many passed appetizers they make in house while viewing the space. All were very good however my fave were the crispy wrapped shrimp, so delicious! The staff representing the venue were very friendly and polite, making sure we were attended to and answering any questions we had. A great venue to look into if you would like to throw a party in a unique space in Toronto with great food/drink options!

Attended a wedding here. It was a nice venue, but definitely had some flaws…read more Venue: It definitely looks beautiful, and to be able to find a venue with a rustic feel right in the city is nice. There's affordable parking around the area. It was awkward to be told that the coat checks are at the back of the venue, because you had to walk down the aisle and basically walk all the way to where the groom is getting ready. The chairs were not the most comfortable, and they were wooden, so they were quite noisy. Also, there is not a lot of seating, so many people are standing in the front area, even thought it was probably a wedding of less than 75 guests. The upper dining areas is nice; the solarium was bright and beautiful. However, the shape of the dining area is a giant ring, which means there isn't really a central place for the wedding couple/family to sit. Staff: Friendly staff, however they need to work on their attentiveness. Half of the table I was seated at was served, coffee/tea and the other half didn't get served. And no one was checking in on us. When we finally got the attention of one of the people, he directed us to ask a server instead (guess he wasn't a server?!). Food: Very good food. Enjoyed the meal very much. Overall, it is more like a 3.5 out of 5.

There are several different areas for guests to hang out. The airstream trailer is a fun focal point for photos and the astroturfed patio is definitely unique and special. A very nice place to cool off after dancing! You're a stone's throw away from the Distillery District, so the wedding party got many beautiful photos that features the historic area around them. Everything was so professional and picture perfect. The food was great. The guest flowed from space to space. It definitely felt upscale, but when you have the whole place to ourselves, it's ok to let loose!

There were two big rooms one of which had the cabin bar themed design with a beautiful chandelier, wood panel walls, murals and the other was a lot more roomier with white drapery which were along the walls.....there was also an outdoor patio which was perfect as it provided people with the option to be indoors or outdoor............and yes there was a resident dj who was spinning some sweet tunes!!! The d'oeuvre were well selected: mini sliders, shrimp spring roll, vegetarian spring rolls, smoked paprika pita n dip, small salad boxes, mini fish n frites served on a spoon, etc. The creativity, presentation was top notch.
