Host rules

✖︎ PLEASE NOTE:

- Event rentals are preferred "RSVP" attendee's only. Clients must confirm their maximum number of guests prior to booking confirmation.
- The space has a professionally installed ceiling-mounted sound system with bluetooth connectivity, to stream your phone or tablets music playlist, included at no extra charge! :)
- We do also allow personal entertainment such as musicians and/or DJ's, however this option must be submitted for approval prior to booking, and is subject to the separate $500 fee. Clients bringing any DJ or live performance with their own speakers and audio equipment must detail these when requesting the booking.


✖︎ RULES ARE FAIRLY SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW:

1. No smoking indoors. The rooftop is incredible, and the perfect place to do so :)
2. Keep the entrance doors closed at all times. No loitering at the street entrance by attendee's at any time.
3. The space cannot be left unattended at any time. No strangers are to be tolerated in the space either, and clients should immediately reach out to management for any issues.
4. We love costume and decoration and welcome all! However clients booking the space are responsible to ensure the space is not tarnished or left in need to clean from any specialized items such as glitter, baby oil, or shimmer, paint, make-ups, etc!


✖︎ CLEANING:

- Clients are responsible to maintain and/or return the space to the same clean organised state it was found upon arrival. We take security deposits for a reason. Zero tolerance for accidents due to ignorance or neglect. Clients are of course responsible for their attendee's as well. Any items needed for washrooms, cleaning requirements, etc are provided by the space at no extra charge, so plan and maintain as needed.

Cancellation policy: Standard 30 day with Grace Period

Dylan was really cool and helpful. Made my gf's birthday party really memorable. He responded quick and was very professional. Asked for a security deposit and immediately gave it back after. Very trustworthy staff and amazing spot to host an event or photoshoot! Highly recommend :)

6000sq/ft building, with two entire floors of production studio and event space! With an additional separate boardroom, lounge room, full kitchen, multiple washrooms, and exclusive access to a 3000sq/ft rooftop with absolutely stunning city skyline views!

The 2000sq/ft main room production studio and event space with 100-year-old character, and beautiful old factory windows. Furnished with large modern leather couches and decot, and a beautiful tropical plant collection! We have several types and sizes of tables, many additional chairs, furniture & decor, professional photography lighting, video lighting, event space customizable mood lighting... We have it all and are the most popular rental space in Toronto for a reason! :)

The number one performing listing in Toronto, with countless photo/video clients and an extremely popular and versatile private event space since 2015, having hosted hundreds of birthdays, engagements, weddings, product launches, release parties, conferences/seminars/meetings, you name it and we've done it...

**PLZ NOTE - event rentals (starting from $120/hour) are individually determined on a simple and transparently shared formula, based on their unique production details; number of hours on-site, number of attendees, food & beverage requirements, monetizations of attendance or bar sales, set-up assistance, additional furniture and decor requests, peripheral area usage such as kitchen, rooftop, etc... basically all of the things adding to the overall 'impact to the space'.
