What a wedding!!!
October 19,2019 will be a day remembered by many.
We couldn't have dreamed of a better wedding and it couldn't have been made possible without the Eglinton Grand venue and staff.
The venue is unique and has a beautiful history. All the details were perfectly place. The atmosphere had a certain je ne sais quoi about it.
However, the extraordinary team of people is what makes the venue what it is. They all have played such monumental part in making our day so very special.
A special Thank you goes to Teresa who was there for us every step of the way supporting and guiding us, giving us genuine advice and help
The food was spectacular, our signature drink Turned out Perfectly! And the service thourought the night was Stellar...such friendly, warm people. We couldn't ask for more.
Thank you Eglinton Grand for making our dreams come true.
PS. We will for sure come back for our vow renewal party!

Welcome To "The Eglinton Way" Holiday Fashion Show Being Held At "The Eglinton Grand" Out In Toronto, Ontario Canada!
It was a very exciting evening and my Very First (1st) Fashion Show that I have ever attended which was being held at "The Eglinton Grand" which used to be a movie theatre which has been turned into an Event Venue for Weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, Conferences, etc.
With ME, we have Terese Hatter from Beauty Tree who was one (1) of the vendors out on Eglinton Avenue West along the LRT (Light Rapid Transit) who was involved in the show and she did all of the makeup for the models and works as a Medical Esthetician in her private practice as well!
Some of the other vendors that were present include:
- Enrico Hair Design
- Secret Service Medical Aesthetics
- Le Reve Skin Clinic
The purpose of the event was to further promote the businesses along Eglinton Avenue West that have suffered so much during the Covid Pandemic Crisis and the LRT (Light Rapid Transit) Construction and Bring Them All Back To Life, plus attract New Businesses to the area as well!
In Fact: My good friend, Guillermo from Guillermo's Creative Hair Studio happens to be one (1) of the business owners from the event's area, but sadly was Not Able To Attend The Event due to work constraints.
I want to personally Thank her for participating in the event and in my video as well!
I want to also personally Thank Stefanie Zuccarini, BIA Manager for inviting me there as well back on Thursday, November 17th, 2022.
Sincerely yours,
Howard Paul Shore

A more exciting venue!
We recently had our wedding reception hosted at The Eglinton Grand and cannot recommend it enough.
The admin staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout the booking and planning process. The coordinator made sure everything was on schedule and went smoothly, which is much appreciated. We had added tequila to the bar, and ran out sooner than expected, so we were kindly offered the option to add a couple more.
We had a few early guests who were allowed to wait inside, rather than by the busy street. Then when we arrived, the chef kindly delivered us a personal bottle of champagne and appetizers. We were starving due to a busy day, and this thoughtful gesture blew us away!
The kitchen staff made sure the wine was always topped up, never had to ask. All tables were provided excellent service. Overall the food was phenomenal!!! We got a lot of positive feedback from the guests. Bartenders were friendly and attentive, and all other staff members seemed friendly, even during the pre-wedding setup.
Many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they've been to, and that says a lot. Much thanks to the wonderful staff at The Eglinton Grand for making it happen!

Best Wedding Venue!
I had my wedding reception at The Eglinton Grand and I couldn't be happier! The venue is so beautiful, so original, the food is amazing, and all at a great price. The people there are so warm, welcoming and very helpful. I had many questions leading up to the wedding and they answering all my questions while maintaining excellent communication. My point person was Sarah Tang and I am so grateful for all her help! On the day of the wedding, they made sure everything was running smoothly. I am so grateful and I highly recommend this venue to any couple getting married! :)

Most Unique venue!
This was definitely the most unique venue and was fantastic from start to finish! The service was professional and timely, so we were not worried on the day of the wedding. Everything ran smoothly and all the guests complimented us on this venue choice! They also coordinate the food which makes it more hassle-free. Another pro is that the venue is beautiful as it is, so minimal decor is needed.

Finally! Pandemic, Rescheduled Wedding
We finally got to celebrate our wedding at the Eglinton Grand this November after rescheduling due to the pandemic. As we approached our happy day, the venue staff were incredibly helpful in finalizing all of the details. On the day of the event the team took care of everything without a hitch and worked seamlessly with our vendors and wedding party to make sure our celebration went on perfectly. If we ever had to get married again there's no venue we'd rather use!

Most special Day of our lives !
We chose the Eglinton Grand for our wedding in November. The wedding, venue, food and everything was incredible, we enjoyed it so much. A great value for all the services they provide and way to upgrade or downgrade based on your budget. The venue takes care of so many aspects of the wedding that when the day came it was so stress free. An absolute team of professionals! The staff from start to finish were great to work with, and the service overall was incredible all night long. Joe was also amazing on the day and checked-in with us frequently to make sure everything was going well. Our guests also had rave reviews of the night and the venue. They felt like royalty and everything ran so smoothly. The venue itself is so great for pictures being a historic building. I would 100% recommend the Eglinton grand for a stress free glamorous wedding! Thanks for being a part of our big day!

Unique and beautiful venue!
We had such an amazing wedding at the Eglinton Grand, it was everything we’d ever dreamed. The food was delicious and everyone worked together so well to make sure everything went smoothly. The theatre itself is absolutely beautiful and very spacious. We loved the added flair of the personalized marquee, red carpet, spaces for posters we created, and up lighting in the ballroom. Teresa did everything she could to make our dreams come true, which can be difficult in a pandemic, but everything was a dream. Who wants to go to another generic banquet hall when you can have an old theatre?

Amazing Venue
The Eglinton Grand provided my wife and I exceptional service as we navigated the complexities of hosting a wedding mid-pandemic. Upon our first visit to the venue we immediately fell in love with the atmosphere of the historic cinema. With my wife and I both being lovers of film and theatre, the space was a perfect representation of us. Having a cinema screen playing old black and white movies throughout our dinner, with a popcorn machine popping away as our guests danced the night away… it was a dream come true. We have heard from countless of our guests that it was the BEST wedding they had ever been to. The venue played a crucial role in that accomplishment. Throughout the planning process our event coordinator Rebecca was always extremely attentive and helpful. The venue’s food was delectable enough to keep an entire Italian family’s palette happy - an accomplishment no doubt. From salad to dessert everything served was delicious. Some of our vegetarian guests mentioned to us that their plates were some of the best vegetarian options they’ve ever had at an event. Having a ceremony room right next door was such a great addition for us as well - less travel time allowed for more enjoyment time. The addition of having a parking lot (green P) with a city discount, for our guests right next to venue, was the cherry on top.
Eglinton Grand helped bring our wedding vision to life. It was PERFECT. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue. If you are considering this spot, don’t hesitate, set up a time to check it out and see the magical space for yourself.
