December 2022: The Vanderberg 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!

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.
