I booked this venue for a dinner party of 15 people. Although I viewed the property a month prior, my attendees had never seen it. The owner and property manager were great to work with, and responded quickly. I knew that it would be a hit! The venue is smash-up of a loft and train station. We loved the subway tiles and Central station signage. It is a photo ready venue, especially around the large island with illuminating lighting. Within seconds of walking up the wide stair case, everyone was in awe of the layout and space of the property. It really felt like you were walking into the entrance of a subway/ train station. At the top of the stairs, you’ll arrive at a floor to ceiling mural. There was a pool table that someone had a chance to play. The large table that nearly seated my whole party was amazing. There were additional bar stools that we also used for seating. It was a great space for dinner and open discussion. Although we didn’t use the bedrooms, there were atleast 3 of them and 2 rest rooms. No one had an issue parking, and we were all secure between the hours of 5pm-10pm on a Saturday. We all loved the venue because of the ease of location from Davison Hwy and Woodard Ave, and amazing floor space. Before I left, my group agreed that they would love to come back on a regular basis for our monthly meetings.

For starters Lauren is such a gracious host! She was very flexible and accommodating for my needs when booking my event. This space can be used for many different things as there are several rooms to use. I used the space for a dinner party this time but I’ll definitely book again for other types of events. A plus for me was that there were serval chairs available for use.

The studio was the perfect place to hold our end of year family style sit down dinner. We needed an open space that would allow serving space and several tables; the studio was well lit and Frank showed us how to adjust to a dimmer more intimate lighting effect. Frank was very accessible, responsive, and a great host. This space would be a great fit for birthday parties, rehearsals space, video shoots, and dance parties. Definitely keeping this venue close in the contact list!

Toronto Dinner Party Venues Curated by Giggster

Pros and Cons of Dinner Parties in Toronto

Hosting a private dinner party in Toronto has both its pros and cons. From weather to traffic to food, these are the factors to consider for your next big event in the city.

Advantages

  • Toronto has a thriving dining scene. You can find anything your heart desires, from prime cuts and steak frites in a Parisienne bistro to beef tartare with truffles in upscale establishments to fire-oven pizza in your local restaurant; you're spoiled for choice in terms of delicious cuisine.
  • Toronto's weather allows for al-fresco dining year-round. Most patios are heated during winter, but it's best to avoid eating out in the peak snowy season. You can plan and host your dinner party outdoors every other time of the year.
  • The city offers a variety of venues to host your gala dinner. You can easily find a family-friendly restaurant nearby or rent a private villa with an open kitchen for large groups. Book the main dining room in one of the city's best restaurants, or indulge in a tasting menu in a lush private garden. The options are countless.

Disadvantages

  • Toronto's high cost of living is essential in picking the venue and planning the menu and the drinks. Naturally, the best restaurants will have a higher rental price, and meals can cost a fortune if you feed a crowd in an upscale restaurant.
  • Traffic congestion can significantly affect when people arrive at your party. It is worst during rush hour.
  • Toronto's harsh, snowy, icy, and slushy winters don't allow al-fresco dining, even if heated patios are available. Avoid hosting a dinner party outdoors in winter.

Planning Your Dinner Party in Toronto

You've found the perfect private dining room in your favorite restaurant, but what now? From decorations to menu to entertainment, these are the steps to a successful dinner party.

Come Up with a Theme Planning a dinner party is time-consuming. But once you've chosen a theme, you can plan everything around it. This includes the menu, decorations, entertainment, party props, and photo backdrops.

Plan the Menu If your budget allows, choose a three-course menu. A buffet is always an excellent option if you want variety. Find out about guests' allergies and dietary requirements and discuss them with the chef to create a custom menu.

Plan the Drinks Ideally, you'd want an extensive list of drinks. Include wine, beer, cocktails, non-alcoholic beverages, water, and coffee. For a dinner party on a budget, choose punches, sangria, and mojito pitchers.

Entertain Your Guests A party doesn't have to be a boring sit-down dinner. If you're hosting your party outdoors, take advantage of the space and fresh air to plan pool activities, lawn sports, scavenger hunts, hire a band or a DJ, and more. For indoor parties, you can organize murder mystery games, painting, trivia, pub games, karaoke, and much more.

Saving Money on Your Dinner Party in Toronto

Hosting a dinner party can be stressful, especially when working with a limited budget. This simple guide will help you plan a memorable and fun soiree without wasting your hard-earned cash.

Keep the menu simple.

Whether you want to feed an army or a small group of friends, you can save money by keeping the menu simple. Choosing a party theme will make things a lot easier. For instance, if you are hosting an Italian dinner, pick simple and inexpensive starters like breadsticks, bruschetta, focaccia, and frittata. For the main course, opt for various pasta, risotto, lasagna, or chicken parmesan, among others. Choose simple desserts like tiramisu and gelato.

DIY decor.

Whether you're hosting a dinner in a cocktail bar, an upscale restaurant, or a historic mansion, you'd want to add decorations and make things fun. Save money by creating your table set-up using DIY floral arrangements, candlesticks, old wine bottles, and glass jars. Add balloons, paper streamers, lanterns, or freshly cut flowers from your garden.

Host a potluck party.

Encourage your guests to bring ready-to-serve dishes of their own choice or assign each one a different meal so you don't end up with the same food. You will save a lot this way, but since you are the host, you can prepare appetizers and desserts, fruit platters, and a variety of beverages.
