Top Small Party Spaces in Toronto, ON

Small party venues in Toronto average C$135 hire fee per hour, across small party spaces, party rooms and event spaces listed citywide. Most fall between C$85 and C$225 per hour, though plenty of venues price differently – C$35 to C$100 per person, or a minimum spend of C$1,000 to C$2,500 for the whole event. The type of space drives the number: a photo or film studio averages C$135 per hour and lets you bring your own catering, while restaurants and bars are quoted on minimum spend and start from around C$1,500. Downtown Toronto has the deepest supply, concentrated in Kensington Market, the Entertainment District and the Financial District. Scarborough is the best value at an average of C$100 per hour against C$130 downtown, and Niagara is lower still at C$80.

In general, the earlier you rent the space and begin the planning process, the better the outcome! Our data indicates that it is better to make a reservation at least 2 to 4 weeks before the event. This will allow you enough time to look for small party spots that suit your requirements, get in touch with location managers, and compare offers before selecting the best one for you. Remember that Toronto is a bustling metropolis and that there is a strong demand for small event spaces, so you should get the rental process started as soon as you can.

We highly recommend exploring the Downtown District because it is filled with a variety of charming intimate restaurants, quiet cafes, and smaller event spaces. Toronto's bustling Midtown is home to a diverse collection of eateries, cafes, pubs, and clubs. We advise you to check out North York and West Toronto if you're seeking a sophisticated setting or a modest but interesting pub to host your future event. Another suggestion would be Old Toronto, which is also becoming quite a popular area when it comes to small-scale events. Check out those areas and you'll undoubtedly find a wonderful location that immediately captures your heart!

If you're renting a venue for a small gathering but still want to include entertainment, check out our best picks for intimate party venues that offer a distinctive activity:

  • Your inner artist will come out on your big day thanks to the imaginative, creative, and unforgettable Activity & Paint Bar Venue at Paint Cabin. In addition to the Paint & Drink Nights, DIY Vintage Wood Sign Making, and other premium features, the location offers a wide range of activities you can choose from. Bring together your pals to celebrate your upcoming milestone in a fun and peaceful environment guaranteed by this cozy event space.
  • There are several setups available in BC Studio's Corporate/Intimate event hall as well as a range of backdrops for your upcoming small party. The very distinctive atmosphere of this venue will make for the ideal setting for your cozy birthday celebration, launch party, or any other event. This location offers a photography-friendly setting so that attendees can take lovely pictures while enjoying the close gathering!
  • How about renting a recording studio for yourself and your friends? You heard it right! VanceWorldMedia is a production studio that doubles as a fantastic party spot, where you can have a screening party, play party games on a big projector screen, or even go all out and record a special occasion music video!

Can I use a condo party room or a community centre room instead?

A condo party room is usually not available unless you live in the building – you book through the property manager, not a public listing, and buildings typically require a signed agreement, a non-refundable booking fee, a refundable damage deposit and sometimes paid security. Community centre rooms are bookable but basic, with fixed hours and no bar. If what you wanted was a private, self-catered room at a low hourly rate, these are the closest equivalents you can book publicly:

The trade-off runs both ways. You pay an hourly rate, but there is no deposit hold, no security requirement and no building bylaw dictating your end time. Toronto's noise by-laws still apply in residential areas, where amplified music generally has to wind down by 11pm.

Booked Event Space at Urbanbeat Studio

Communication was good, excellent through Whatsapp. All necessary information such as speaker use, how to get in and leave, and where to find what was given- lots without even needing to ask. My guests enjoyed their time, and especially loved the big wall mirrors available. The speakers were bluetooth, good quality, loud, and had bass, the sound would glitch at times but likely due to weak bluetooth connection. It only really happened when the phone/device connected was on the furthest end of the room from the front door, and of course as soon as it left the room as well. Overall, I believe the experience went well.

An Outstanding Experience at Foy House Thanks to Georgia and Shay! I recently hosted an event at Foy House, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Georgia is such a kind, warm, and genuinely caring person, she went above and beyond to help us set up, making sure every detail aligned with our vision and that we loved everything we saw. Her attention to detail and thoughtful approach made the whole process stress-free and enjoyable. Shay was equally fantastic, assisting with everything throughout the day and constantly checking in to ensure we had whatever we needed. Their teamwork and dedication truly elevated our event and made it memorable for everyone involved.

I had my 60th birthday party here and it was awesome. The hotel provided everything I requested and even assisted when we needed help with decor. This location is also ideal for private parties as it’s a very quiet place. Thanks to Yaad, who worked with me and was prompt in responding to my requests. I recommend Best Western for any event.

I had my 23rd birthday at this venue and it was absolutely beautiful! The ambient lighting at night really set the mood and you were able to choose ur lighting. The venue came furnished so there was no need to really decorate which was great. Kelsi was so helpful and easy to communicate with so the night went smoothly with no trouble. We also had an absolutely amazing bartender Myla and all my guests enjoyed themselves to the FULLEST!! Definitely worth booking!! :))) Thank you for the great night

Great space, well priced, staff were very nice and was easy to organize! Andrew the host made it quite convenient. At the end of the night I wanted to do karaoke and was very drunk and the staff helped us set it up - additionally in my drunken state I didn’t want the night to end and kept singing past 2 - the bartenders were friendly and let us finish. I was drunk and stupid, so don’t recommend doing what I did there, but they were very very nice and deserve to be commended for that because I really appreciated it a lot
