Foy House is a #Supervenue
About Foy House
Whether you are looking for a classic dining room for high tea or the whole mansion for an all night dance party, Foy House is a unique and historic venue for creating your special event. Book Foy House for your wedding, birthday party, D&D night, literary launch, yoga class, business seminar, writing retreat, or intimate liason. Whether you're planning a corporate function, photo shoot, seminar, or special celebration, our spaces can be tailored to suit your unique vision.
Built in 1888 by architects Langley & Burke, Foy House features beautiful wood panelling, a grand carved staircase, high ceilings, romanesque arches, original mantels, and stunning stained glass. James J. Foy, then Attorney General of Ontario, and his wife, Marie Couvier, designed the space for hosting Toronto's most distinguished Victorian guests, and we are pleased to revive their tradition.
It is my goal to keep the mansion as green as possible, so we offer china, silverware, glassware, and serving utensils at no additional cost. We will recycle and compost what you leave behind, and we take care of the cleaning! A small front parking lot offers free parking for about 6 cars. Wifi is available and included.
Modern amenities include washrooms on all floors, a kitchen with small appliances, knives, cutting boards, fridge, and a preparation island.
For those looking for seminar or classroom space, we are well stocked with stationery, printers, and a wide selection of office supplies: tape, scissors, 3-hole punches, binders, clip boards, etc. A projector and screen are available on the first floor.
Although we have hosted a number of murder mysteries, seances, and magic shows, we have not encountered any malicious ghosts. Foy House is perpetually filled with joyful spirits, and we would be delighted to offer a space to bring your imagination to life!
