April 2023: On behalf of our entire family, my mom and I would like to send a huger than huge, heartfelt thank you to you for everything yesterday and in the months leading up to our event. But especially yesterday! Our celebration of life event went exactly as we envisioned it. We have not stopped receiving messages from our family members letting us know how much they loved the venue, and how amazing you and Kyara were to deal with.

We are so happy to have stumbled across the Vandenberg House in our search for the perfect place to honour my grandma and bring the family together. It’s such a hidden gem in Toronto!

Please also pass along our thanks – again – to Kyara. She was beyond amazing.  You both went above and beyond yesterday, helping us set up, jumping in to take photos – everything.  Tara & Deb

December 2022: The Vandenberg House is Toronto’s best kept secret space for intimate gatherings; we hosted my best friends 30th birthday on November 11th 2022 and it was astonishingly breathtaking. Christiane went over and above to make sure our evening went beyond perfect. The space is so rare & the energy held here is a once in a lifetime find. Truly Otherwordly… thank you so much C!! – Kayla

November 2022 : We held a party for our mother at the Vandenberg House. It was a perfect venue for the 20 of us who gathered. We were able to decorate the venue as we wished, the tables are a wonderful size so that people can will get up easily and mingle. Christiane and her team set out a lovely buffet from a local caterer and attended to the special needs of our honoured guest. We also used the AV equipment and everyone enjoyed watching a video tribute. We were so impressed with the place, the price and the staff that we have booked the venue for another event!  Kim V

December 2019 : This is a beautiful space for any type of event! We loved the location, the cleanliness, and layout of the space. The management is super attentive and kind. We especially loved the tables and chairs that were included with the rental. It was very practical and the style helped make our event feel more comfortable and ‘at home’. We will be renting again!  Kendra

March 2019 : Christiane was a great host and very accommodating considering it was a last minute booking 🙂 The space was like as listed and perfect for our meeting. We would definitely recommend this place to others! Kaitlyn

January 2019 : Christiane was very nice and accommodating, it was a pleasure to work with her. Everyone loved the place, it was the perfect setting for our friend’s baby shower. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a beautiful, cozy place for their event! Susan

November 2018 : This space was absolutely perfect to celebrate my wife and I’s wedding reception. From our first visit, we knew we had to do it, and Christiane was so accommodating and generous with us having access around the space. Everything was easy to maneuver and I would absolutely recommend it for weddings and/or wedding related events. I absolutely see us using the space again sometime in the future. Jordan
