Keisha and Cherice were excellent to work with and helped out with every little detail. It's rare that such a big event works out to exactly what you had imagined and this party was pretty darn close. It was a bonus that the standard decor of the room (without our added decorations) already matched the white and gold theme. Thank you Savoy!! True perfection! And the location is terrific with plenty of free parking. Highly recommend!

My wife and I had our wedding banquet venue at Savoy in Spring 2015. The venue itself was a…read moreconvenient location. It was private as it was the only banquet hall in the building and was enough to fit our 140 guests. We absolutely loved the venue itself. The only thing we would criticize is the service we received from Savoy's event manager. Before I explain, here's a bit of background: Monte Carlo Inn and Savoy (run by byPeterandPauls) are two different companies. Savoy has an agreement worked out with the hotel that for any wedding banquets held, they offer a complementary stay at a hotel room at the Monte Carlo Inn in lieu of a bridal room. When we had our tour (and before we signed the contract) around the banquet hall, Savoy's manager showed us only the "Romeo and Juliet" room, and told us we would have this room or something similar to it. The "Romeo and Juliet" is actually a two level room with the top level being the bedroom and the bottom being the washroom/living room area. This is one of their best rooms. When our wedding day came we were given a different room, a single level room. Our photographers who had worked on a number of weddings at Savoy were also surprised why they had given us a completely different room than the Romeo and Juliet room that they were use to. We brought it up to the hotel reception since it was completely different than what was shown to us by Savoy. The Monte Carlo Inn staff kindly switched us to the Romeo and Juliet room. We thought the issue had been resolved but later the Savoy manager (during our tea ceremony) told us that we would have to pay extra for the room. She claimed that she had shown us another room other than the Romeo and Juliet room, which was completely not true. You could imagine how furious my wife and I were at that moment when we should be the happiest. Later Savoy worked it out with us that we would not be charged extra as long as the balance was paid that day. So when that was done, we thought the issue was resolved. The next morning, when we were checking out of the room and returning the access cards, the hotel reception told us we had to pay extra for the room! We couldn't believe that this was happening again so we complained and they said they would deal with Savoy on the issue and not have us pay the extra fee. Prior to the wedding banquet, the Savoy manager accidentally sent our confidential contract to a person she shouldn't have. That person corrected her and we also brought this up as well. Instead of apologizing, she denied making the mistake despite the proof. This was not the kind of service we would expect from a hospitality company. Although the venue itself was lovely, the service provided by Savoy`s manager was terrible and anyone considering holding a banquet at Savoy should be very cautious. Make sure you get in writing what is being offered to you.

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!!

The parking lot is large; I was running a little late, but managed to find quite a few spots. The decor is not super fancy so I'm not too sure about backgrounds for photos.

I'm not planning a wedding or large event any time soon, but the Brighton Convention Centre does the trick. Good for: large events, conferences

We came here recently for a conference…read more The event venue is typically used for weddings and I can see why. The interior of the place looks recently renovated, and its beautiful with white and marble decorations everywhere. The other attendees were walking around taking photos of the place. As the name implies, it does have a crystal fountain. It's a little bit underwhelming, but it does make a great centerpiece. We had a buffet style continental breakfast and lunch, and food was served along the edges of the fountain. I read a comment on here about how the chairs were nice enough to not be decorated and I completely agree! Their tables and chairs required very little decoration as it's already really nice. The only thing that was a bit strange was that the main washrooms were upstairs, and they weren't particularly nice either. They do have washrooms on the main floor but they're quite small (two stalls each).

We recently attended the wedding of a very close friend's daughter at Crystal Fountain Event Venue,…read moreand unfortunately, our experience with the staff was extremely disappointing. While food was being served, the server handing out pieces of the lamb leg behaved in a way that I found extremely rude and disrespectful. She essentially threw the piece of lamb onto the plate of the person in front of me and then did the same to me, with a very unpleasant attitude and absolutely no smile, courtesy, or welcoming behaviour. I was so uncomfortable with the way the food was being served that I put the piece back. Several people behind me also refused to take the food because of the way she was treating guests. I later approached her politely and asked if I could speak with a manager. The manager was standing nearby, and she pointed me toward him. I politely asked him to step to the side so I could explain what had happened privately, as I did not want to discuss the matter in front of other guests. Instead of accommodating a very reasonable request, he rudely told me that I should speak to him right where he was standing. I explained again that I did not want to discuss the situation in front of everyone, but he still refused. When I asked for his name, his response was essentially, "Go find out." I later learned that his name was Dean. What made this particularly disappointing was that this was a wedding for people very close to us. Guests attending a wedding should feel welcomed, respected, and treated with basic courtesy. Unfortunately, the behaviour of both the server and the manager made the experience uncomfortable and left a very negative impression. I understand that events can be busy and stressful, but being busy is never an excuse for treating guests disrespectfully. The way a venue handles a concern says a lot about its management, and in this situation, I felt the response was just as disappointing as the original incident. I would strongly encourage management at Crystal Fountain to review how their staff are trained to interact with guests, particularly during weddings and other important events where people expect professional and respectful service. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend the venue and am giving it 1 star.

Gleb was fantastic the day of and kept the day moving smoothly but also made sure we were having a fantastic time. All our guests raved about the beautiful space, the food, and the service. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone.

When we booked the venue we had a very friendly and capable co-ordinator. She left soon after and everything changed. During the next couple of months we were given a new point of contact twice. Communication was not great. We were still confident in our choice of venue at this point, plus we have already paid the deposit and the wedding was coming up soon. Caveat - This is a completely raw space. You have to bring in all of your own furnishings, catering decor. They have some available furniture (which we used) and a large enough kitchen for a caterer to work comfortably. There are two bars, one on 6th floor and a second on the rooftop. (which has a gorgeous view) I don't really want to get into it all here, but we were not pleased. If you are using a wedding planner / decor company that has complete control and that will be on site all day to co-ordinate everything, and you need NOTHING from the venue staff, then go ahead and rent this space. It is beautiful and you will have a memorable event. Otherwise, its not worth the stress.
