A Night To Remember
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!

A beautiful night
Pure elegance and magical!
Met our expectations and more!
From the beginning of the planning process, Teresa always had time to answer our questions and help guide us through all our options and requests.
Closer to the wedding, Paula was there to make sure every little detail was as we had planned and was super helpful with any last minute requests.
I would also like to give a shout out to Gleb who made sure the night ran smoothly and was there if we needed anything on the day.
The highlight of course was the stunning and historic venue. All of our guests gushed at how beautiful and unique it was (with the help of our decorator, Elite Decor). The food (we went with the bone in beef rib) was also the best food we've ever personally had at a wedding and we had so many compliments on how amazing it was with people echoing the sentiment that it was by far the best they'd had at a wedding reception. Kudos to the kitchen and wait staff who made dinner service perfect.
All in all, I would 100% recommend this venue and the Eglinton Grand team to anyone looking for a beautiful venue, amazing food, and memorable night.
Our Perfect Wedding
Our wedding couldn't have been any better. Teresa runs a pretty tight ship and we are so fortunate to have worked with her, Paula, Gleb and the entire TEG team. I know my wife and I and our family are glad we went with this venue. We have absolutely zero regrets or what ifs when looking back at our wedding.
The Gallery Room and the Main Hall were absolutely stunning for both our ceremony and reception. The entire property was perfect for cocktail hour, photos and dancing. Our only wish was to have had a couple more hours to enjoy the evening.
One of my favourite parts of booking TEG was the convenience of everything being centralized at one location. They have their own kitchen and staff and the food was by far and away the best wedding meal we and many of our guests (their words, not mine) have had a wedding. We didn't have to find an overpriced caterer or deal with the AGCO & LCBO either - they include bar options in wedding packages.
We hired many of the TEG's preferred or exclusive vendors - there are some very professional and talented companies that we connected with. Some of the ones we didn't hire were also very easy to deal with despite not being hired due to our own reasons and no fault of the vendors.
While planning the wedding was a lot of work, the venue being an former movie theatre leaves a lot of room for creativity and imagination for small and large details. Many of our guests credit their experience being so great with the venue's interior architecture and vibe (not just us or the food). If we had to do it all over again, I don't think we would do anything differently.
I hope one day we're fortunate enough to attend an event at TEG as guests and not as the ones throwing the party.
Beautiful venue, but had its flaws
PROS
-Unique venue that guests raved was beautiful
-Accommodating with venue visits
-Overall, food received positive feedback (*although, see note below*)
-Open to make some exceptions (e.g. served steak medium rare, provided an extra appetizer in lieu of dessert, etc.)
CONS
-Very poor communication throughout the whole process (it was sometimes weeks before we would hear from our contact at the venue, and required multiple follow-ups)
-Messed up our food orders on the day of so some vegetarians did not get to eat at all
-For the food tasting, only one of each course is included so you won’t get to taste everything you are serving (if doing a “choice” menu)
-Although not necessarily “hidden” (which a lot a venues do), upgrades ended up costing a large chunk especially when considering most things have a 20% service charge (e.g. $500 for use of the movie screen, $1000 for extra wall of drapery, $35/table for pinlighting, $750 for an extra hour of event time, $6/person for an additional hour of bar time, etc.)
A GRAND place to have a wedding
The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating.
Paula and Teresa were very responsive and understanding with any last second changes we had.
The food was very well done and many guests had great things to say about it. The mushroom pasta and the steak were the highlight for most people.
All of our guests absolutely raved about the experience.
September Wedding
The movie themed venue, its beauty and uniqueness truly blew us away. Theresa and Paula were absolutely fantastic to work with.
A special thank you to the EG staff for going above and beyond to make our day so spectacular. Our guests absolutely loved the food, the ambiance and every single guest from our wedding has said this is the best wedding they’ve ever been to. Completely exceeded our expectations and I would give EG more stars if I could. Truly beautiful!
