Rany was a fantastic host and the venue space is amazing. It fit our 40 guests with plenty of extra space. It has 3 great separate spaces - an outdoor area, a great indoor dance area with amazing lighting and sound system, and a front lighter room with a great bar and table area. We had such a great time here for a birthday party. Rany was fast and clear with communication and even helped us out with hiring security last minute for the event. If you are looking for a fun space in toronto for a great price, this is it!!!

Rany and his team were a dream to work with! Rany was always incredibly responsive, from the start of planning to the very end of the party. The venue itself was great for hosting a party of 40+ attendees and Rany's team made sure I had access to everything I needed to have a successfully fun night. Thank you to Rany and his team!
