Say Hello

Best. Night. Ever. We just had our wedding at the Berkeley Church December 31, 2019 and it was beyond what we ever could have imagined. Derek was our contact and our day-of coordinator and was an absolute saint! He was so helpful through the whole process and was so knowledgable about the venue and weddings in general. He was a huge asset to our wedding and we leaned on him a great deal for advice and contacts, etc. The staff was also incredible. They did an amazing job and we had 190 guests with welcome cocktails, coat check, NYE bubbles passed and had our ceremony, cocktails and reception all at the venue. Also, we received many compliments from our guests that they loved the food! We certainly did at our tasting but it's so wonderful to hear it was also excellent for a big group. Huge bonus was we got to bring in our own alcohol and late night food. We thought the venue looked gorgeous and we loved the character from day one. The ceremony space in front of the stained glass is particularly magical!

We had our wedding here in July 2019. Rachel was totally incredible to work with. She was organized, efficient, quick to respond and super lovely overall. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, and didn't require much decor, but we went all out and it looked stunning. The food was amazing, everyone raved about it. They also let you bring in your own alcohol, which is a huge money saver. They are so flexible, and allowed us to bring in our own late night food items, decor items, dessert bar, and really anything else we wanted to personalize the event. Only downside was that we got a very hot, hot, hot day (45 degrees), and the venue's AC didn't cut it. We spent over $1000 on AC unit rentals as per the venue's (very good) advice, and still, it was HOT. But that's not their fault, it's an older venue, and they did everything they could by moving around fans, AC units, and serving ice-cold drinks. Overall a fabulous experience and I highly recommend.

Held our corporate holiday party for approximately 200 guests. Planning of the event was very easy with the help of Derek the event specialist and Brett the coordinator. The staff during the event were professional and courteous. The food was served as ordered and they took great care of all our guests with allergy concerns. I look forward to working with this group again in the future.

We hosted our wedding at Berkeley Church this past October and cannot say enough positive things about the experience. From our first site visit to the wedding night, the venue was responsive, attentive, and thorough. We were matched with Allie as our wedding coordinator, and she is AMAZING. So kind, fun, answered quickly the million questions we sent, and made us feel like the venue was ours for the wedding. Totally open to all our ideas, we really felt complete freedom in designing the wedding. The food was amazing, the service and staff were on point, and it really is such a beautiful and unique place right in the heart of downtown Toronto to get married. We feel very lucky to have chosen Berkeley as it met our expectations. Only strange thing that happened was that our wedding cake disappeared by the time we went to pick it up the next day...but honestly, I hope whoever took it enjoyed it because it was delicious. Highly recommend Berkeley!

As photographers and cinematographers, we really enjoy how much variety you can shoot within a short distance in this wonderfully eclectic venue with great food!
