I am taking the time to write this review as I recently held a formal sixtieth birthday celebration for my mother at York Mills Gallery (YMG2), and want to share the wonderful evening I had with others who may be considering the YMG space for an upcoming event. From initial ... View more contact to post-event follow-up, Isaac, Frances and the entire team provided a level of professionalism that was truly unforgettable. They assisted with making my vision a realisation, and in the process demonstrated patience with my concerns or uncertainty and provided the requisite level of knowledge and guidance in terms of the space and its possibilities when making recommendations. I felt that they were very upfront from the beginning, providing me with all my options and the associated costs, ensuring there was a complete understanding of the contract and our mutual obligations. I appreciated their thoroughness as it is a critical element in event planning that ensures a surprise-free ending. The event space speaks, and shows, for itself. It is absolutely stunning when lit for the evening and will impress even the most stubborn of guests. Beyond what you can see, however, is the staff ‘behind the scenes’ that made our celebration a truly magical event. Assigned coordinators on hand the night of ensured that the evening proceeded without any glitches. Service staff, from the bartenders, to the waitstaff, to the coat check attendant, were so incredibly courteous to my guests, going above and beyond time and time again, that a full week later I am still hearing stories of ways in which staff attended to an individual guests’ needs unexpectedly. Lastly, the Chef and his amazing team. They put together a special menu in honour of our west indian background that impressed each and every guest who had the pleasure of tasting their dishes. The hors d’hoeuvres and three-course meal was above what I could have expected and was one of many elements that reassured me that I made the best decision by selecting YMG2 to host my mother’s birthday celebration. Advance apologies to anyone who had to grab a coffee to read through my essay. I just have nothing but positive things to say about YMG2 and would highly recommend the space to anyone with an upcoming wedding or celebration – it may be one of the best decisions you make during your event planning.

York Mills Gallery was a beautiful venue and was large enough to fit the large number of guests that we had. Our guests were mesmerized by the decor and build. Since we had it on a Friday, our venue rental was waived as part of their promotion as long as we used their in house ... View more catering which was just as good. Half way through, the people we originally communicated with had changed but the new group were able to transition well. Our visit(s) with questions and calls were received well, they were patient and accommodating. Isaac was very optimistic and relational, his team did very well on the day of with our wedding coordinator too.

Tim and I had our wedding here last month and we could not be any happier! This was literally the perfect venue. Visually stunning. The white curtains around the sections were so soft and pretty but not in the traditional "gaudy" way; very classy. The chandeliers and twinkle ... View more lights....AMAZING they definitely were one of the highlights. It's as if it was a venue created for just the two of us. It reflected our personalities so well. Combination of urban / modern / classic, so unique but you still felt like you were at a wedding reception. The space was perfect for our guest count (200+) and we kept getting comments about how gorgeous the venue was from our guests!! The clear chivari chairs (my favourite) that are included made the venue feel airy and light not stuffy and cluttered. It really looked like a fairytale wedding and it's such a versatile place it will fit anyone's needs! Very flexible with customizations too and the ability to have outside vendors for the most part was great. We hope to visit again and see it from a guests perspective. Will definitely recommend York Mills Gallery to anyone in need of a wedding/event venue!
