Room notes

The Eglinton Grand: technical

Ceiling
Very high, with original deco detail worth lighting.
Capacity
Around 400.
Load-in
Street-level, from Eglinton. Parking and access need coordinating and the street is busy. Do not plan a 5pm load-in.
Power
Adequate but not generous by production standards. Confirm circuits early.
In-house sound
House system exists and is better than most; still not a dance system.
Curfew
Downtown residential context: typically 1am. Confirm.
Lighting
The architecture is the feature. Light the room, not the walls. The deco detail carries the whole look and heavy colour buries it.

What to watch for here

  • Street load-in on a main road. Book the window and be early.
  • Resist saturated colour here. The building is the decor.

What we bring to The Eglinton Grand

Reception sound, because the house system is better than most and still not a dance system. Lighting that leaves the deco detail visible. Light aimed at the room rather than heavy colour on the walls, for around 400 guests.

The first question is always whether the date is open. Start there: the rest takes two minutes.

1. What is the event?
Estimate Shown on each option above Flat quote confirmed before any work starts. Prices in CAD, before HST.
2. Where will it happen?
Name the venue if it is booked. If you are still choosing, leave this blank. The date is enough to start.
3. When is it?
If the date is not fixed, choose the first day of the month you are aiming for and tell us in the notes. Popular Saturdays often book nine to twelve months ahead. Short-notice dates are still worth asking about.
4. How do we reach you?
5. Review and send

Two separate permissions, because in Canadian law they are two separate things. Ticking one never ticks the other, both are optional, and neither changes how we handle your booking.

No payment now and no obligation. We reply within one working day with availability and the right next step.
