We had such a positive experience working with Design Exchange for our client's Corporate Awards Gala. We had 250 people in attendance, along with staff and performers. Throughout the planning process - Madison responded promptly to emails and accommodated us and our schedules with multiple site visits and accommodations. As we continued the planning process we had numerous changes and questions, it was evident that Design Exchange did whatever they could to ensure we were successful. Our client had a wonderful time at our tasting and Madison ensured it was overall a special experience. The team and owner came to talk to our clients and ensure they were happy with the in house catering. Any adjustments we requested to our custom menu was accommodated without hesitation.

Madison was patient with us as there were quite a few last minute adjustments. Onsite, Alan was fantastic with changing things the day of and helping staff set-up the room. Alan ensured all vendors were set-up and situated as needed. Madison was onsite early to assist us and our clients throughout the day and went above and beyond with checking in and flexibility. Nadia was onsite after Madison left and she was fantastic. Dinner service was quick and efficient, the team executed quickly and communication was fantastic as our program shifted quite a bit throughout the evening.

I am so thankful for the experience to work with Madison! She was absolutely wonderful and if you get the chance you will not be disappointed!

Discovering the "Boardroom" at Toronto's Design Exchange as a space for my training workshops was a stroke of luck. The room is filled with natural light and views that connect us with the outside world. One end is set up for our more formal, large group discussions. At the other end, a comfortable lounge atmosphere creates opportunities for relaxed, small group discussions where the real work takes place. Add generous wall space for flip charts and lots of room to move around. As a bonus, DX staff take care of logistics, from signage and greeting participants to snacks and beverages, leaving us free to focus on what's important. It's my favourite training space, anywhere.
