A number of failures: Small amount of desserts were gone in no time and not replenished "Imported cheeses and home made cookies" appeared to be store bought Coffee urn went missing The small container of dip with the veggie platter emptied quick and was not replaced The tea sandwiches were poor - no one even wanted to take home the leftovers! The bartender was grinding for tips even though a 15% gratuity was included in the bar tab. For the price I expected better R Hodgins

Very disappointed. The venue itself had enough space, was clean, the food was good and the kitchen…read morestaff were helpful. There was however a lot left to be desired in every other way. We did have some last minute number changes which was on us, but the venue staff were outwardly rude and hostile about changes. We came to set up Friday and there was no toilet paper in the washroom, and they held another meeting in our decorated space. The DJ booth situation was crazy. The venue rented out a package and did not know how to use it...the package should include specs required for people running their own music. DJ booth is not compatible with windows...they were told they needed a lap top and that was it so there were huge issues with that. The venue people were not well versed in their equipment, as they were unsure how to dim the lights when we asked and they needed to be reminded to turn onthe lighting package that was purchased. Even provided with a schedule staff were still pestering guests and the couple throughout the evening. Unfortunately, toward the end of the evening we were told to shut down as a guest procured outside alcohol. We understand this HOWEVER the man in charge of the venue manhandled the Bride even though we were attempting to clear out. Completely and utterly unprofessional and uncalled for. Lucky you are getting a 2 and that is for the good food and helpful wait staff.

I've attended a few different events at Victorian Garden and each one was nothing less than…read moreabsolutely flawless! The staff was so attentive and thoughtful throughout each event, food was some of the best and most authentic I've ever had, and the hall itself was always so clean and well kept. I would recommend this hall, the staff, the owners, ALL of it to anyone looking to host any event. Whether it's a big event like a wedding or smaller like a baby shower (I've been to both at this hall lol), the venue is a perfect size and the event is always treated with intention and care. 10/10!!

MLH is as good as it gets when it comes to an intimate country-style venue. I got married here in May of 2009 as the beautiful spring blooms were starting to come alive and boy, oh boy, this place was everything I had hoped it would be and more. What I wanted was a breezy, organic and natural setting and MLH fit the bill just perfectly. Just for comparison purposes, other venues of consideration were Estates of Sunnybrook, Graydon Hall, Kortright Center and McMichael gallery. None of those places came even close to MLH. It was such a perfect venue for me that now I'm considering hosting my daughter's first birthday party here. When we were planning our wedding, we wanted an outdoor ceremony with 150 guests and a less formal reception space where guests could mingle with ease. MLH offered all of those things as we had our ceremony site set on a sweeping lawn situated next to the house which had a rustic arbor set against a backdrop of tall trees that offered comfortable privacy. The greenery here is just so striking and you forget that you're still in the middle of a large Metropolitan city. Our reception was held in an outdoor tent with excellent food provided by Presidential Gourmet. MLH is truly a gem of a space and if you're lucky enough experience this venue, you will fall in love with its one of a kind charm and history along with its beautiful grounds.

It was a buffet style and they ran out of food and did not refill the stations. What slim pickings were available were burnt, cold or undercooked. My group of 4 mothers left with a large bill and empty stomachs. I am not exaggerating when I say this was the worst dining experience I have ever had.
