I rarely leave reviews, but this experience was so upsetting that I feel I need to warn others…read more From the very beginning, I felt completely unsupported and alone during my event. I tried contacting Jeff multiple times for help with basic issues, and he was nowhere to be found. It's incredibly stressful hosting an event and not being able to reach the person responsible for the venue. What hurt the most was what happened afterward. When I finished my event, no one came to do an inspection, no concerns were raised, and I left believing everything was fine. Days later, out of nowhere, they withheld my entire deposit and sent photos 11 days after my rental -- with no timestamps, no confirmation, and no proof they were even from the day of my event. The uncertainty and lack of transparency felt deeply unfair. I reached out trying to sort things out respectfully and reasonably. Instead, I was met with empty apologies and no real evidence. It was emotionally exhausting to keep asking for clarity and getting nowhere. I also followed their policy that clearly states the $500 deposit is fully refundable with 48 hours yet they still kept it. Feeling like you held up your end of the agreement only to be ignored and dismissed is incredibly discouraging. This experience left me stressed, disappointed, and honestly heartbroken that something meant to be a happy occasion ended in frustration. I would strongly urge anyone considering this venue to protect themselves, document absolutely everything, and be prepared for very limited support. I cannot recommend this venue based on how this was handled.

Right at Lawrence and Dufferin, this venue is easily accessible by TTC. I decided to drive because it was an early morning start, which was just as easy. In the back, there is quite a large parking lot so you need not worry about finding a space. The venue is very clean and well-staffed. Their AV equipment is in proper working order. At no point in the day did we encounter technical difficulties (and this could have been a possibility as there were many guest speakers and videos to be viewed). The seats were comfortable. As mentioned, we heard from many great speakers, but that required us to be seated. At noon we enjoyed a lovely meal, that included grilled chicken, salad, vegetables, various focaccia breads, and dessert. Everything was delicious! Overall, I had a great experience at Sala Caboto. Good for: conferences, weddings, large parties

This place collectively ruined my friends wedding and after party. Hidden fees, shady tactics to…read morereel you in and unprofessional staff and contracts. There were a ton of extra fees and costs not mentioned in their original meetings and discussions. Of course days before the event date they were sent updated information reflecting almost 1k in extra charges. They were not able to negotiate or resolve the issues, so my friends ended up canceling and OBJX took their deposit money as well. Completely unprofessional, with extremely shady practices, I would definitely NOT recommend this place if you're looking to book a venue as you'll be in a world of hurt. Don't make the same mistake, look elsewhere!
