We had our wedding at Propeller in October and were so happy with our choice. It was the perfect place for the laid back wedding we had imagined. Everything felt simple from the start - we worked with Sarah and then Carlos. Both were wonderful in providing us the guidance we needed to make everything happen. We had 95 guests for the ceremony, seated dinner, and party.
These are the things we loved about the space/ flow of the event:
- It is an accessible location with everything on one level which was important for many of our guests
- Parking on site made things very easy for those who wanted to drive. The central location made it an easy place for everyone to get to
- They were able to seamlessly transition the space between each part of the evening
- The space is bright and lovely - perfect without any additional decor
- There is access to a fairly large outdoor patio space - and the garage doors can be opened in warmer weather
- The openness of the venue really made a difference in our evening, as it felt like all guests were able to mingle well. On the other hand, having the room to the side was amazing during the later evening - those not interested in dancing were still close by but had a space to sit and chat - rather than being stranded at tables surrounding a dance flood as with other venues.
- We were able to provide our own alcohol
- Carlos and Jyll were amazing on the night of. Everything went off without a hitch.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone at Propeller. Thank you for making this day better than we could have imagined!

We hosted our wedding here last month and had the most incredible time. The entire Propeller team were amazing - especially leading up to the big day - very helpful, responsive & professional. The space is gorgeous - we got lucky with beautiful sunny weather so the garage doors were rolled up during our ceremony and dinner. We used preferred caterer, Santo Pecado for our event - best decision we made! I'd highly recommend booking this unique space for an event. Special shoutout to Carlos, Sarah, Jyle and Arm!

We had our wedding reception at Propeller and could not have been happier. The venue was perfect - open floor plan customizable to different needs, beautiful building with tonnes of natural light, great existing decor that made adding our own personal touches easy. It is also very accessible.
And Carlos and team were the greatest to work with. Carlos was always quick to respond to any questions we had leading up to the day, was flexible and accommodating as we figured out details like drop offs and pick ups, and was always a pleasure to deal with leading up to and on the actual day of the event.
We had about 65 guests for a buffet style sit down dinner and it was the perfect size for mingling, eating and dancing. Would highly recommend!

I would 100% recommend Propeller as an event space, but also for a beautiful and intimate wedding like mine. It is such a cozy space yet lots of room for making your day how you choose. My wedding was supposed to be Aug 2020 and unfortunately pushed it twice due to Covid. Propeller was absolutely amazing and accommodated our needs with such ease and positivity. New dates were picked with no issues. Overall, the staff and event planners were extremely helpful, easy going, and always there when you needed them. When we finally had our big day Aug 2022, the event coordinator was on top of everything, it all went seamlessly, and it was truly such a magical night! We had both our ceremony and reception within the space. The tables were on wheels and could easily be moved in to do the swap from ceremony to dinner. They really do transform the whole space within minutes! We had a fun photobooth stationed outside and also had the outdoor space as a little patio for people to go enjoy some fresh air. The 3 garage doors make it easy to open up for more space during the event or close it off to keep the heat (in our case) or cold out. I cannot tell you how many of our guests said that they absolutely LOVED the space (and some were surprised they hadn't heard of it before and would come back for coffee on their own!). It was a night full of dancing, delicious food from a vendor list they recommended to us, and great support/communication throughout the entirety of our contract (over 3 years due to Covid!). Thank you to Carlos and Sarah for all the amazing guidance for my wedding to turn out exactly as I had imagined. HIGHLY recommend :)

We had an absolutely amazing event hosted at Propeller Coffee in October 2022. The staff were beyond helpful. Carlos leading up to our event was very responsive and was transparent in the entire process and always available for a phone call and responded to emails promptly.
We arrived at the venue with chairs and tables already set up to the floor plan we had discussed and Carlos took care of working with the caterer and they frequently checked in to make sure everything was set up to fulfill our vision for the event. I would host another event here and would highly recommend Propeller to anyone looking for a unique and beautiful venue.

Hands down one of the coolest new event spaces in the city! Rustic yet urban-chique, this sustainable coffee roastery boasts beautiful polished concrete floors, sumptuous floor to ceiling windows, a funky roll up garage door and beautiful exposed wood beams highlighting the soaring ceiling space. Perfect for a cocktail reception, office party, sit down dinner or film screening, this space truly has it all!

Tucked away in one of Toronto's up and coming neighborhoods, Propeller is one of the most unique spaces in the city, beautifully modern and rustic, highlighted by tons of natural light streaming from the floor to ceiling roll-up garage doors. It's an incredible blank canvas for any event big or small and the owners of this space are a joy to work with - what more could anyone ask for?

It all starts with exceptional coffee. Propeller Coffee Co. is first and foremost, an exceptional producer of coffee for retail and wholesale customers. I can highly recommend their coffee, I drink it every day. It makes my day!
The care and attention that the team at Propeller Coffee Co puts into their coffee is reflected by what they have done in creating an exceptional event space.
The Event Space is bright, fashionable, easily accessible and very well appointed. From the beautiful tables to the amazing light in the cupping room (you have to see it to believe it) all the details are thought out. In the summer months the three garage doors open to provide an easy transition between indoor and outdoor space. If your event is larger the parking lot will accommodate a 60' tent!
The back of house is as well set up as the front of house. It allows for easy deliveries and the room allows for very complex service to be handled easily. There is both a walk in cooler and freezer on site that can be used by your caterer.
Kristi and the team at Propeller are friendly, knowledgeable and caring.
The location while it seems a little out of the way is a short walk from the Lansdowne Subway Stop. There is on-site parking and a Green P parking within walking distance.
The catering list includes a great group of caterers who can work with your tastes to come up with a menu that will amaze your guests.
