[TLDR] - Candidly, I would not spend your hard earned money here unless you want to partake in a venue run by egregious management and staff who are seemingly hardwired to distrust their customers and patrons. For the sake of garnering some perspective, I logged into Google Reviews to see what everyone else have got to say about the establishment. I was very surprised to read the comments and many of which were very consistent to my previous experience at The Factory Lounge - uncommunicative staff, subpar customer service, and patrons faced with hostility at the liquor bar. Prior to arriving at the venue, I visited the company website. In the 'What are we all about' section it states "At The Factory Lounge it's all about the party and we know how to throw the best party in town! We pride ourselves in paying attention to every last detail and we will create a memorable and distinctive event you will never forget." Bona fide clients who choose to use this venue based on the mission statement will surely be let down because: A)The Factory Lounge really doesn't know how to throw a party - the bar staff was underperforming their duties and crutching on excuses to deter paying customers B)There was no attention to detail because the head manager/owner was too busy arguing with people C)They claim to be the best party in town yet there is no substance. Customer satisfaction is far and few between. Albeit, I do agree with one part of their mission statement about creating an unforgettable event. Only I would put it a bit differently, the most unforgettable thing about the event was the constant tarnishing and arguing done by the lousy team working that night. When I asked to speak directly with the operating manager to rectify some issues surrounding the liquor agreement, I was dumbfounded because I was looking right at her: Teri Leese (Owner, Operator, Coordinator). She has been running this business for over 7 years. I am astonished by her uncooperative demeanor for someone with such tenure. Teri had reigned over the bar staff to disadvantage their customers, she was mostly unapproachable, she was disrespectful towards our party members - just to give you some perspective. Having read this review, I urge you to reconsider choosing The Factory Lounge as your primary venue for any event. You could be faced with regret, disgruntled guests, and an unforgettably bad experience.

The location was a bit hard to get to since we decided to take transit but that is only a minor issue. The real bright spot is the staff that work there. They are super friendly and very efficient. Nothing seemed like too much of an issue for them. You can tell they take a lot of pains to hire the right person for this type of job. The event was a cash bar and they were a bit slow to process people paying by tapping. This could easily be improved with today's technology options but this did not take away from the overall experience.

This was my first visit to the historic Heintzman House, and to be hoenst I found it odd that this…read moreplace has been around since apparently the early 1800's and in my 30 years living in the 905, I've never heard of it... not even once. Located just near Thornhill village this historic home, now looked after by the City of Markham is a hidden gem (if gems were the size of plantation style homes that is). It's a massive estate which has been carefully kept up over the years and adjusted slightly to accommodate events (such as parking out back) within it's sturdy original walls (I've seen them, the walls are made of hardened mud and straw - THAT's how old we're talking) - they LITERALLY DO NOT make them like this anymore. My fixation with it's structural integrity aside, what I really marveled at was the house itself. Large rooms on the main floor filled with natural light, fixtures carefully handcrafted abound and no expense spared on it's creation. I could gab on and on about how great this place looks and I'm sure you might yawn and say, "OK Kris, tell us about some food now, we're bored." To which I would respond by saying "Nay, Nay, wouldn't you rather hear about how the Heintzman House is haunted?" Some might find this fact absurd, others immediately turned off, but I'm sure a vast majority of you are thinking... coooooollll! So was I, so I'll wrap things up here and leave your curiosity piqued, I recommend you take a tour of this house when you have a moment and if you're booking a wedding or corporate function this might just be the place for you!
