Palais Royale

After a LONG journey scoping out venues (I must have gone to 30+ venues in and around the city), the moment we walked into Palais Royale, we knew it was the ONE. We were looking for a single venue event (hosting only ONE wedding a day) and it checked off every box on our list. Palais Royale has perfected hosting weddings and events to a T! From the kitchen/catering staff to the bar tenders, sound/lighting crew to the security guards, Palais Royale offers a state of the art venue with breathtaking views of Lake Ontario as it is situated on the water (great photo potential!). The only issue I had was with the day of coordinator provided by the venueshe was extremely panicked and totally not in control throughout the setup process of our reception. She asked my mom and cousins to help her setup which is not okay seeing as we paid a heck of a lot of money EXTRA to have her as the day of coordinator. Luckily all of our other vendors were amazing and chipped in to help where they could. My recommendation is to source a coordinator outside of the ones the venue offers as it was very frustrating that she was not mentally or physically present for most of the reception.

Very nice place . Delicious food and good service. You can see the beautiful Lake Ontario at the patio.

Giving a 1 star as the event I attended, ran out of food before half of the people had gotten even a first plate and this was supposed to be a buffet! We were limited to go up once. The venue was over full by 20 people (not the venues fault) however the were running out of food before half of the people served themselves!Also the bar service was just terrible. One bartender just kept counting the money over and over without serving people. After waiting 30 minutes trying to get a drink I gave up!The venue was just very under staffed and unprepared for the event. The space is nice.

Had the pleasure of attending/MCing a wedding there on Nov 18/17. All I can say is that Palais is Fantastic! Food, atmosphere, and staff was all superb. Special thank you goes out to their AV tech Rob Boyd. He made my job easy and was on-top of every A/V technical requirement. The built-in system is fantastic. Can't wait for my next gig there!
