He even learned a song that was very important to my wife to walk down the aisle to. The day of the event he was very professional and friendly throughout. During the reception we asked Dan to stay longer as the guests were really enjoying themselves and the band seemed very happy to. We went with their 3 piece band and it was amazing. Would recommend this band in a second.

We attended a performance at the first Ontario concert Hall over the weekend and had a really good…read moreexperience. The venue is much bigger than I thought it would be and it fits so many people. The seats were incredible and we had a fantastic view of the stage from the left centre orchestra. When I looked up, I was surprised to see that the hall appeared bigger than the TSO. There were multiple decks of seats and many people could fit into the venue. The employees were all very friendly and the beverages were well priced. We found it challenging to park in the area due to all of the traffic and one way streets but once we found the entrance to the hall (we first went in the wrong door) it was a pleasant experience to the very end. I noticed people dressed up more for the symphony here than they do in Toronto, which is an interesting observation. Would we return? Absolutely!

There is a lounge with a bar, auditorium with a large stage (obviously) and siderooms, including a kitchen. They were very accomodating, helping us set up the day before with tables and tablecloths, letting us decorate any way we wanted (except with sequins/sparkles, they're too tough to get rid of), and provided bartenders so we could have a cash bar. There are red carpets and nice furniture in the lounge, and comfortable chairs in the auditorium for people to sit down and eat and socialize. The kitchen can be accessed from the back which was perfect for the caterers. The only negative thing was when one of the ladies who were there to help us set up mumbled that what I (the bride) wanted to do with the champagne toast was "tacky", which I DID NOT need to hear at that moment (or ever), other than that everything and everyone was great. Oh, and the price was right too.

Sound of Music takes over the whole water front as well as several blocks of downtown. We strolled down Brant and passed several small stages along the way. We were able to get vegan soft serve and sit on a bench and listen to free live music. Parking was crazy as a result but we had a nice walk through some fancy neighborhoods and the free live music was quite a pleasant surprise.

Such fun times here…read more Came here to see Die Mannequin On Friday 29th. Since the below Yelpers have done an awesome job at summarizing the place, I shall continue with only focusing the experience of this particular event. The lounge has a parking lot in the back. If you are driving and the lounge is on your left, keep driving, there's a few businesses with parking lots in the back. It's safe to park there. This spot is a few streets down from Hess Village so around 2am there is a fun amount of drunken folks walking around. There's a few food places open late if you do get hungry. The crowd this night The Casbah was a VERY interesting mix. This is because it's usually friends/family of the band members. So don't come expecting a select type of crowd. Anything goes here. Since I've brought up the subject of interesting and anything goes, what's up with all the one way roads in Hamilton? The main street (Casbah located to your right) is ALL one way, so if you are anything like me (meaning - nil-ch sense of direction) be careful... you will most likely be driving/facing ONTO coming traffic. (true story), Thankfully, the people here are quite nice. They waved to me (after I waved.. thinking *gosh they're so nice here* I realized why. Made an illegal U turn mid street. They guided me and THEN laughed. Just use the "I'm not from these parts sir". Works every time. There's no chairs and the stage is quite tiny. They have about 4-5 bands play before the main band comes on stage. So if you are travelling, don't rush. They do check ID and stamp you. The smokers section is decent. Again, no seats. You will be working out your legs, unless your kind of a weirdo like me and plop right on the corner edge of the stage. I found beer to be a bit pricey here. There's only one bar located right on the far right corner of the venue, as soon as you walk in. I can only assume, this is where they make money. The bathroom is dinky. Small with 4 stalls. 3 of them have broken handles. Guys kinda just waltz in here, drunk or trying to help a girlfriend etc. So, be super careful. Ask a girlfriend to keep watch at your stall door. The best part about this place? - there's only 1 bathroom section in the whole place. Meaning, you WILL bump into band members. It's pretty cool. Caroline Kawa from Die was the coolest chick in the world. She helped me fix my hair and was SO down to earth. Now if I could just get Metric to play here so I could bump into Emily Haines, I'd die a desert happy girl. Even with all the sketch guys who overhear you talking about how hungry you are and respectively INSIST on walking down the street to get you a poutine,gawk at you from tiny dark corners , I still like this place. It's got a bit of a grunge feel to it so you can really dress how you want- venture into GaGa Land for the night? - I THINK SO! If you're into rocking out, you'll end up having a good time. If you're female, you'll have an even funner time trying to hide behind big equipment "helping" the band through the back door. Yes ladies, there IS a back door. No need to fret about creepers. Once you walk into the hall to the bathrooms, it's straight ahead. No alarms so you can push and run out onto a parking lot facing the main street. You can park here so you can get right into your car. They thought of everything. I like that. xoxo M.
