Finding party venues in Toronto that tick all the boxes and meet specific requirements, from space accessibility to audio/visual suitability, and guest accessibility to transit and hotels, can be intimidating. In such a large and vibrant city, there are so many different venues to comb through before finding the right one. With the holiday season quickly approaching, the clock is ticking on finding a venue that will meet your needs. Luckily, we are here with the seven Toronto party venues you should consider when booking your holiday party!
1. Artscape Wynchwood Barns
Located off of St. Clair West, Artscape Wynchwood Barns is a repurposed TTC bus depot that makes for a great holiday party location, especially if you favour an industrial aesthetic. The venue offers concrete-lined walls, big open spaces with high ceilings and great natural light, and it can accommodate up to 400 people. It’s also a heritage building that meets the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Efficient Design) Gold Standard, making it a certified green event space.
2. The Everleigh
The Everleigh is a great location if you’re looking for a unique and distinctive party venue to host your holiday party. The décor has a great vintage Canadian feel to it, while still managing to feel contemporary at the same time. The Everleigh is located in the hip and professional neighborhood of King West, and can accommodate sit-down dinners, receptions, and live performances. It is a venue in the heart of transit and hotels for your guests.
3. Maison Mercer
In terms of party venues, Maison Mercer is a great option if you’re looking for a flexible and versatile event space. At 12,000 square feet, Maison Mercer can accommodate anywhere from 250 to 1,300 people, and is a multi-level venue that includes a rooftop terrace. The terrace offers impressive views; Maison Mercer is centrally located in the entertainment district and is close to Toronto landmarks like the Rogers Centre and the CN Tower.
4. Fountain Blu
If you’re looking for party venues where you can host a sophisticated, elegant holiday party, Fountain Blu is a great choice. There is a luxurious feel to the décor and design of the space, while also being highly customizable. Fountain Blu has a portable dance floor and bars, giving you the freedom to set up the space how you want it. It also offers exclusivity; it only has one event space, meaning when you rent out Fountain Blu, there are no competing parties (and noises) in the next room.
5. Artscape Young Place
Artscape Young Place has a wonderfully artistic feel to it; with studios and exhibition space, it has become a real cultural hub in Toronto since opening in 2013. Located in the trendy Queen West neighbourhood, Artscape Young Place is 75,000 square feet and features six different event spaces that can hold 400 people combined.
6. The Power Plant
The Power Plant is an historical landmark that doubles as an event space that can be rented out for your party needs. Situated on the shore of lake Ontario, it incorporates contemporary art and design with a rustic location. The Power plant was formerly a powerhouse that has since been renovated to become one of Toronto’s hippest and most uniqueparty venues.
7. 99 Sudbury
This party venue is located in King West Village and is a popular choice for holiday parties due to its distinct space and design.
