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?

A Dream Come True!
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!
