We hosted our Convocation at SJCC in June 2024 and it was a success! It is a fantastic venue and Claudia and her staff were wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed. They were very professional and accommodating from the beginning of the planning process through to our event. I worked closely with Claudia, who is very friendly and quick to respond.

We rented Snell Hall and the Community Room. Snell Hall has great natural light, and the technology worked perfectly. The location is also excellent, close to public transportation and very central.

We will host our Convocation there again this year, so I highly recommend this venue.

Wish there were more choices on the caterer, but other than that, excellent Venue, great location, staff is very hospitable and welcoming, would highly recommend, and have recommended to many others :)

Our organization recently hosted a free public event at the SJCC, and it was great! We've also hosted a workshop event here in the past. It's always a pleasure working with everyone here, including the folks at Quest AV. The time, effort and assistance provided in helping to make our events a success does not go unnoticed. Thank you Claudia, SJCC and Quest AV!

Excellent venue and view. I recently held a Town Hall of 70 people and we all enjoyed the space, staff is wonderful! Looking forward to future events at St. James Cathedral.

We recently hosted an evening event at SJCC. The entire experience was phenomenal. The venue was charming, modern and held the crowd very well! I planned the event from Montreal, but had no worries as the teams from SJCC, DaVinci caterer, Quest AV and Gatsby valet worked so well together that it was stress free! I highly recommend this venue!

A rare gem right in the downtown Toronto Core - with its effective juxtaposition of Gothic and Neomodern architecture styles St James Cathedral is a great setting for all types of events from weddings to film release parties. A great open space and a convenient on-site kitchen for us to work from - we strongly recommend St James Cathedral for anyone browsing event spaces in downtown Toronto.

It is such a treat to be a preferred caterer here! The space is bright and open, with break out rooms perfect for corporate brainstorming or a bridal party. Being in the downtown core brings a fun vibe to this place, while inside is inviting and airy. The Cathedral Centre is perfectly balanced between chic and professional.

On behalf of all of us at Canadian Living, I wanted to thank you for all you help in planning our event. You are highly organized, extremely accommodating and professional, which is a huge help to us. So, I had to send you a note to express our sincere thanks. We look forward to hosting more events at the Cathedral Centre. Please be sure to pass our thanks on to the entire team who worked that evening. It was a pleasure working with you.

I wanted to send a note to thank you both for helping us run a very successful event. Janet, the Deanery was perfect even with just under 60 clients it didn't feel cramped at all, the terrace was a perfect spot to host our reception it didn't even feel like we were in the city. Thank you again for coming to the rescue with some background music. All the staff that we encountered throughout the day from my early morning drop off to the very end were extremely helpful and pleasant. The hospitality staff that you provided were EXCEPTIONAL. They knew what they were doing, they took control of the situation and worked very well with our manager. I can't say enough words about Nathan, he was just perfect in every way. He knew the venue inside and out and never hesitated on any questions that I had. Their service quality was top notch I don't think there was one glitch, our clients were quite impressed as well. We couldn't have run this event without your professionalism, expertise and guidance, Thank You!

We really enjoyed using the space. It is beautiful - very different from a lot of the other venues in the city. Our guests were very impressed by the space. Your preferred caterers and AV company were pretty easy to work with and very flexible. We found your staff to be very helpful! Janet was wonderful to work with.
