I coordinated with Marisa over weddingwire, and was able to set up an appt immediately. I was blown away at the service that we received when we arrived - Jimmy showed me and my fiance around and was super friendly. The second time I came, I brought my mother & mother-in-law. The service was just as great. There were other weddings being set up, and it was great that I could see what the set up looked like before making any final decisions. I met with Ramy to finalize planning and pricing, and he couldn't have been more helpful by going over everything. The menu looks AMAZING, and the choices of alcohol is top notch. I ended up booking my wedding here for next year, and cannot wait to come back throughout the year to start planning!

One of the best decisions we've made throughout the whole wedding planning process was choosing…read moreParamount as our event venue. I could not be anymore happy with the staff, the venue and the food we had our wedding in November. As a Bridezilla, it was so important to me that we had the best venue for our events. Paramount was especially great since we had an event that took an entire day (from morning at 9 am to basically 1 am the next day). They had the facility to accommodate multiple events at one time and were great at ensuring that all parties that were happening at the same time did not cross over one another. We booked with paramount 1 year prior to our wedding date and throughout that year, I've been to Paramount probably 20 times to ensure that all our needs were met on our wedding day. You get assigned to a very professional day of coordinator that helps guide you throughout your wedding day. Special shout out to Shireen and Mario for being great assistance throughout our wedding process. Their motto is "no one cares more about your event than they do" and that is 100% accurate. I was also made sure I was comfortable as the bride, and was responded promptly whenever I had questions throughout the year. All my other vendors (ie. decorator, officiants) had no issues with Paramount and even praised how professional and welcoming they were. My guest loved the space and I was so happy with how easily transformable the space was! We worked with Romy on our catering side and he was amazing. I could not thank him enough for how much effort he put into our wedding. Food was also impeccable and I am still hearing my guest raving about it to this day! Thank you Paramount for making my wedding a dream come true!

Over the years I found the food and service to be pretty inconsistent. There have been a couple of well executed dinners, and also chaotic ones.

A couple of events were well staffed and a couple weren't. But people were generally nice and helpful. Overall, I did notice the venue was cleaner and well organized during my most recent visit... so I hope things are turning around.

It felt like it was meant to be! The venue itself was so grand and elegant. Definitely gave me castle vibes! The layout of the Victorian hall worked out great for us; we loved the courtyard access and also the huge bridal suite! Our Sales Consultant, Geraldine, and Event Coordinator, Danna, were so great to work with. They were so responsive and professional. They were able to help with any questions or concerns we had leading up to our wedding, and also provided many helpful suggestions for our event, including the layout and menu. Everything turned out wonderfully with their help. The day of staff were also great and very friendly. We had a couple of no shows, but they were nice enough to pack up all the extra food for us to take home. I had quite a packed schedule that day, but they brought us some food/hor d'oeuvres straight to our bridal suite to make sure we got to eat too. Really appreciated this gesture. Food wise, they definitely had a huge selection available. We opted with a standard 3 course dinner with pasta, 2 meats (chicken + beef) and crepe gelato. The food was good overall, except the beef was a little dry but that is to be expected when cooking for a large group. The accommodations for dietary restrictions were also great, we had eggplant parm for the vegetarian meal and I've heard good things about it! Our hor d'oeuvres and late night station (pub crawl) were also really popular; it's been a month but people are still raving about it when they see us! We are so happy that we chose this venue for our wedding. It was an absolutely perfect night!

This is not a fast serve restaurant. First we got the Branzino which was pretty good and tender. Then we got a pasta dish which had no flavour and was blend so probably wouldn't order again. We also got the ribeye which was pretty good. For dessert, we had the apple blossom with gelato and toffee and it was delicious. They also had lots of mocktails options which we appreciate. Overall, this is a decent choice for Italian when you're in the Whitby area but pack lots of patience and you'll be fine.

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.
