As an event planner<\/a>, I’m always on the hunt for new and exciting venue openings! Needless to say, when I received the invitation to attend the Village Loft<\/a>\u00a0launch party – an event showcasing the newly renovated space to planners across the GTA – I immediately RSVP’d yes!<\/p>

It’s no secret that north Toronto venues typically lack that chic, urban vibe offered by its downtown counterparts, so when I walked into this new, exclusive venue by O&B (located at Bayview Village Mall), I was immediately both surprised and impressed! O&B’s in-house photographer Pauline Yu captures all the amazing details.<\/p>

The grand experience begins from the moment I step foot through the venue’s front doors. Greeted by beautiful, live music<\/a>, I step further toward to a vast, modern space complete with exposed brick walls, complimenting wood beams, and unique chandeliers. These features all culminate to create a modern-chic, yet boho-glam vibe.<\/p>

Another huge plus for the space has got to be their outdoor patio space overlooking the tree-lined, ritzy neighbourhood.\u00a0Most venues outside the core don’t have a terrace feature available, and this patio is quite large – plus the heaters really make it cozy for those brisk fall evenings.<\/p>

All of the food stations were set up as custom printed bars with vinyls provided by the team at\u00a0DFD Event Solutions<\/a>. From the raw seafood bar to the Porcini and Parm station, to a delicious meats and seafood BBQ on the terrace, the food was absolutely delectable and I kept going back for more! On top of the fun interactive food stations, there were a ton of delicious passed hors d’oeurves and an open bar which included Steam Whistle, Diageo and Cave Spring wines.<\/p>

As if there wasn’t enough food, following the stations and passed apps, there was a very insta-worthy dessert display that had everyone snapping away! Attached to the beautiful hedge wall provided by Divine Furniture Rental<\/a>, there were glass containers containing delectable desserts! On top of the fun photo\/dessert wall there were passed pistachio cannolis, a dessert table filled with biscotti, cookies and just about everything else you could ever want from a sweet table display!<\/p>

As the night went on, Sole Power<\/a>‘s DJ continued to mix great top 40 hits while a live electric violinist played to his music. Just another ‘wow’ factor at this spectacular party.<\/p>

All in all, the evening was a fantastic treat! Guests happily mingled away all while enjoying O&B’s renowned cuisine and hospitality. The team behind the launch event did a fantastic job! Without question, Village Loft is sure to become a new gem in Uptown Toronto.<\/p>
