Our wedding could not have gone more perfectly !
We truly felt like movie stars! Only in my dreams would I think my name would really be on a marquee.
We had so many guests who raved about the uniqueness of our venue and how much they loved it and it's elegance. I really feel like this venue set our wedding apart from others.
During the planning process Teresa and Sarah were great at answering all our questions and helping us construct our perfect day. They were very flexible and were always pleasant with my many emails and meeting requests.
The food was delicious, our guests agree, and there was plenty of it!
On the night of the manager Joe was so helpful and was always checking in with us and our guests to see if everything was going smoothly.

Rebecca was incredibly helpful and ensured our entire day was well looked after. She made sure that our slightly unusual schedule and particular touches were incorporated. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us and our guests. Everything was like a dream. Make sure you add The Eglinton Grand to your list of places to consider. Im willing to bet it will be your first choice - you will not be disappointed!
