A midtown event venue popular for social events Rosehill Venue Lounge offers a casual ambiance in the Rosedale and Summerhill area of Toronto, just south of Yonge Street & St. Clair Avenue. This venue is the “hidden gem” of special event venues in Toronto, with the ability to transform itself to suit almost any event need. Think of it as a Swiss knife for a venue and its versatility to convert for any event.

The space is great for a group around 100 and has a great kitchen for the chef’s to work out of but can grow to over 350. You can fit a dance floor with seated dinner if you have this size group, the space doesn’t feel overwhelmingly large or small-just comfortable. The ambiance is really nice with the exposed ceilings, brick walls, laminate/brick floor, and sofas in the lounge area and looks beautiful at night lit up by candles. Rosehill is perfect to have a dance floor, stage or focal point but also a casual lounge area.

The venue offers its clients the personalized service each distinct event requires. The staff is always on-the-ball and very friendly. From your first meeting, through the planning process, to the date of your event Rosehill can offer as much support as you require. It is steps from the subway and located next to a Green P parking lot. If you’re looking for a space that’s a little different, easy to get to from downtown, and not a banquet hall, check it out www.rosehillevents.ca

Liberty Social Hour – Le Bel Été

Located minutes away from the chaotic streets of the downtown core, Liberty Village is an emerging community just west of downtown for businesses and residents. CityEvents and InLibertyVillage.com hosted one of many Liberty Social Hour events which enable locals to meet and mingle with each other. Locus 144, located in The Liberty Market, held a successful community networking event showcasing their unique dinner menu and spirits lists. The ambience of Locus144 is very soothing, a great place to unwind and submerge yourself into the warm and cozy colour pallets of the decor. Lights were dimmed to perfection and the music just loud enough so people could still talk. Locus also invited a local classic/pop singer to add some flavour to the already vibrant event and Lucia (singer) sang for a set before the D.J took over playing into the late hours on a beautiful summer evening. Source

Seven Screamworthy Halloween 2011 Happenings in Toronto

October 24, 2011 by  
Filed under Past Events, Toronto

Whether or not you’re dressing up for Halloween this year you have to admit how much fun it is to see your co-workers in costume, or to experience the nostalgia of trick-or-treating when the neighbourhood kids knock on your door. It’s no secret that Toronto is a Halloween-friendly city, with its hundreds of costume shops, community-organized trick-or-treat displays like the one on Cowan St. in Parkdale on October 31, and at least one zombie wedding during the 2011 annual Zombie Walk. Here is a look at some of this year’s goings-on:

1. Take a day trip to a Pumpkin patch such as Pumpkinland. Since Halloween falls on a Monday in 2011 it’s a great year to Pumpking Pickinghave some family fun; make use of your time off on the weekend to take a drive through the country and pick out the perfect pumpkin. Pumpkinland hosts a variety of fun activities like a Pumpkin cannon, ‘Friendly Haunted Forest’ wagon ride and more.

2. Try your luck in social media contests such as Lenzr’s Homemade Halloween Costume photo contest. Lenzr is a Homemade Halloween Costume Photo ContestToronto-based serial photo contest website that rewards real prizes for the best photography. Contests are always free to enter and submitting is easy. The best photograph entered of a unique homemade costume will win $250 in your choice of cash or candy.

3. Get a history lesson with a spooky twist on Muddy York Walking Tours’ The Haunted Bloor's namesake, Joseph BlooreStreets of Downtown Toronto. Departing from the ROM at 7 pm every night from Oct. 7 – 31, this two hour tour costs only $10 per person for groups of four or more people. Unbeknownst to its modern residents, the city of Toronto has a rich collection of mysteries, urban legends and horror stories. The tour moves south to Queen St. and then east to Yonge, exploring Queen’s Park, Old City Hall and Osgoode Hall along the way. “The final stop is one of the most notorious of Toronto’s haunted buildings,” says Muddy York Walking Tours’ website. “Several people have claimed to experience the unusual here.”

Guaranteed to be a hair-raising experience, you’ll never look at Toronto real estate (or Toronto mortgage brokers) the same way again.

4. The Boo at the Zoo Tundra Trek is taking place from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm Oct. 29-30. Free Boo at the Zooadmission granted for up to two costumed kids under the age of 12 who are accompanied by an adult. Participants will follow the Pumpkin Trail to trick-or-treat stations that lead through the Tundra Trek to Arctic wolves, foxes and polar bears (and more!) Daily ‘Critters and Costumes Parade’ will be taking place from 12 -2 pm. The annual Boo at the Zoo provides kids not only with an opportunity to celebrate Halloween outside of school and Halloween night, it is also a great way to experience the incredible 5-acre polar bear area (highlighted by an underwater viewing section).

5. Be anyone but yourself at one of Toronto’s impressive costume shops. Everyone, male or female, young or mature, loves the idea of being someone else for a day (or a whole weekend). From theatrical costume outlets renting out identities to high-end costumes at Malabar to White Bean Pizzasexy numbers from Seduction, Toronto’s retailers are hard at work on inventory management while the rest of us play dress up. For a listing of costume stores across the city, click here.

6. Get some real food prepared. If you have kids they’ll need something to combat all the sugar and if you have hips, you’ll want to avoid getting “Halloween hips.” These Halloween recipes, featuring festive organic ingredients like pumpkin and white beans, will keep your tastebuds happy without overloading your caloric intake.

7. Get to a party! There is no better time than Halloween to let loose on a dance floor. Marvel at the production planning of the Liberty Grand Halloween party as 5,000 witches, warlocks and Winehouses wriggle their way into the Liberty Grand Entertainment Complex.

Toronto is once again embraced by an attractive entertainment establishment and hosting environment, perfect for launches, fashion, media and private events. Parlour 270, on Adelaide St. at John St., is the perfect habitat for socialites to embrace style, music, art and fashion in an upper-eastside feel like building.

The buzz around the establishment’s inauguration last month was so elevated that Parlour had hit capacity by midnight. This establishment has an extravagant vintage design and an intimate setting to cater crowds up to 100+;

”Parlour is a mecca for socialites seeking habitual enlightenment. Embracing style, music, art and fashion in an impressive heritage building, Parlour is a destination for those seeking refuge from the main. Boasting an extravagant vintage design, Parlour teases the senses with a lavish and mature wine and cocktail menu,” according to Rebecca Andersen.

It is the perfect escape from mainstream and a great addition to Toronto’s vibrant lounge scene, definitely worth checking out for both a evening cocktail or to host your next event. Located steps from the downtown core, TIFF Lightbox and the theatre district, Parlour offers a versatile space with a small courtyard patio, area for musical performances, and private areas.
