We absolutely fell in love with this venue the second we walked in, the decision to put down a deposit later that same day was easy!We loved that there were different spaces for us to plan out our wedding day; our ceremony in the Burroughes brick room, cocktail hour on the rooftop (which was a huge hit with our guests), our dinner/reception was in the large white brick room and dancing back in the brick room. Our guests moved seamlessly from space to space and commented long after how amazing the venue was. Because it is a heritage building, it did get quite hot on the dance floor but the rooftop patio is a great escape to cool down and the views of the city skyline are stunning.We brought in our own food and alcohol, and that allowed us to fully customize our wedding to suit our needs. Not many places will allow you do to that!Our coordinators Livleen and Alina, were fast to respond and so accommodating, allowing us to come in multiple times to measure out spaces or get inspiration for our wedding decor. We couldnt be happier with the communication!We highly recommend this venue! If youre looking to have your wedding or event downtown, this is the space to do it!!

My husband and I instantly fell in love with The Burroughes and highly recommend this venue for a wedding or special event.The Burroughes has a cool yet warm industrial vibe with exposed brick, high ceilings, lots of beautiful windows, a great rooftop/city view, and super stylish furniture you can rent to help bring your wedding reception to life!We could not be happier with the communication, help and guidance we received from the venue coordinator, Alina, throughout the planning process and day of wedding. With Covid restrictions, we were still able to have an amazing wedding ceremony and reception of 50 guests that exceeded all of our expectations. The staff at The Burroughes made sure the day/night was safe -our guests commented on how safe they felt at the venue as well as said and keep saying, it was THE best wedding they have been to. It was truly an incredible night and the venue was the perfect choice!Sarah and Nick

A beautiful venue for a wedding! The coordinator, Livleen, was fantastic to work with. She responded quickly and always had answers we were looking for. The space is absolutely stunning and the light is just perfect. It is expensive, but they're up front about that. They also let you bring your own alcohol on a Special Occasion Permit, which helps to offset the cost. We looked at 15+ venues and knew this was the one the moment we stepped inside. You won't regret this choice!

I have done a couple of styled wedding shoots at The Burroughes Building and it's a great location. There are opportunities for a variety of looks with both the indoor locations (lighting is amazing in both rooms) and the outdoor roof. Beautiful venue for a wedding!

4/5 A beautiful venue with lots of potential. Came here for a wedding and coming into the space it was done with such class and beauty that it was breathtaking. Lots of windows to allow for natural light along with a rooftop terrace to enjoy the skyline view. Recommendations to improve the bar area for ease of serving the guest and preventing long line up clusters.

My band and I performed here recently for a corporate event and it is such a stunning space tucked away on Queen Street. A real gem! The staff were all so very friendly and accommodating! I cannot say enough... Definitely recommend! Such a lovely experience!

Gorgeous Event Venue! Spacious (2 rooms on the 6th floor and a Rooftop Terrace) with large windows and exposed brick. A blank canvas where you can add a touch of your personal style. Ideal space for a wedding. It is always a pleasure to work there. The team is knowledgeable and responsive. Also, The Burroughes work with amazing preferred vendors. Whatever your wedding style might be, this is a totally unique wedding venue that has that "Wow" factor :)

The Burroughes is one of the city's most unique event spaces and one of my personal favourites when it comes to hip, off-beat venues. Its historic charm, exposed brick, and wood details make this venue the ideal space for gorgeous, intimate weddings. The flexibility of the venue's blank canvas provides endless opportunities for couples looking for a truly one-of-kind, beautiful celebration. On top of it all, the team at the Burroughes are some of the most helpful and knowledgeable professionals who are dedicated to making every event absolutely perfect and an absolute pleasure to work with.
