The venue was able to fit around 8 round tables that can seat 8 people per table, not including the long table for the Wedding Party of about 9 by the front, or as you enter through the doors, it would be to your left. Now, to the back, or to your right as you enter, is where the photobooth was set up by the wall. The DJ was set up in the very corner, beside a small bar that was set up right by the kitchen entrance. Infront of the kitchen entrance, a dessert table was set up by the wall, where the cake cutting was also done. Games were done by the front & the dance floor was done by the back, which by the way will be a bit crowded if you will be having that many people at your wedding/event. The food was served to the tables throughout the event, which by the way were all delicious! The kitchen staff/servers were on their toes, refilling drinks at the tables & are quite courteous, if I may add. For restrooms, I don't know about the Mens, but for the Womens it has 3 stalls, 2 sinks, 1 hand dryer, paper towel dispenser, and it is CLEAN.

The best part of the venue is it's location, inside Queens Park. It's beautiful and a little off the busy ball fields. However, it's stifling hot in there even with all the doors open. I was thankful that I had a seat close to the balcony or I would have been a sweaty mess. The inside is very nice and I look forward to when my friend has her wedding there in September however, it wouldn't be my number one choice for a venue in the summer because of the heat.

Never again

I'm so lucky to have this fantastic vintage venue within walking distance of my home. A few years…read moreago, the most recent owners took on the gigantic project of restoring this 1920s era vaudeville/movie house to its former glory, while also adding modern sound and lighting and reconfiguring the seating into a dinner theatre style. The pictures don't lie - there are big red velvet drapes, chandeliers and exotic Moorish/Morroccan touches like columns and murals. Just a damn cool theatre to see a show in, and I've now been to a few, from burlesque shows to my comedy idols like Bruce McCulloch. Upstairs in the smaller, and less lavishly appointed room, is Lafflines, which is a great spot to see up and coming comedians while having a few glasses of sorrow-drowning liquids and a basket of chicken strips. Both upstairs and downstairs have the same basic menu, so if you can deal with Sleemans and nachos, you're laughing. The wine list is OK, and for girl-drink drunks, they've got some sweet throwback martinis. The servers are really nice, but there never seem to be enough of them, so be decisive when they come around, because they might not get back around to you for a while! I've noticed that for some of the shows in the theatre, they'll have maybe two or three working the entire venue. Upstairs, one or two depending on the night (I tend to go on Thursdays for amateur night, so it's not usually very full). For all the fanciness of the decor, it's not at all posh, just a laid-back place to go see a live show. If you don't like fun, well, stay home.

I have heard nothing but great things about this location for weddings so I was very happy that it…read morewas available for my upcoming wedding. Donalda was so easy to deal with and very helpful in the booking process. The location price is a little on the high side but for everything that you can do here it's worth the cost or at least that is what I am thinking at the moment. It's wheelchair accessible and you can have your wedding outside, reception inside and pictures taken in the park area surrounding the location. I am looking forward to seeing what we can do to revamp the place for the wedding. UPDATE: This place was beautiful for my wedding. We were able to have the wedding outside and the greenery just added to the ambience. I would definitely recommend this to any bride. The place is pricey but worth it.

I've only been in here a few times but would absolutely return for a future event or with a friend to hang out with a game on a cold evening! Note: parking is challenging/pricy in this area - would recommend transit instead. Right across the street from the Quay which has my favourite fruit/veg shop - would recommend a visit!!

Our attendees noted that the bar and security staff were friendly and professional which made the event move smoothly. The space itself is really great with plenty of room and an amazing amount of washroom space which is so useful when running large events. It is a really old building with a lot of stairs so very challenging for anyone with mobility issues. Definitely can recommend and look forward to working with them again.
