PLANNING AN EVENT IN TORONTO

No matter what the occasion it’s important to consider the following 5 steps to planning and executing an event in Toronto and the GTA. In a city of over 9 million people things can get pretty hectic and if some or all of your guests live out of town this mini but important checklist is a must.

VENUE
There are some crazy cool event venues in Toronto. Whether it’s for a wedding, corporate event, Bat Mitzvah or product launch - Toronto has no shortage of unique event spaces that can be customized to fit your event theme.
Casa Loma is one of the most beautiful and aesthetically pleasing venues in T.O and its a castle! Constructed in 1914 Casa Loma was originally built as a living compound for a wealthy financier. Every year it hosts hundreds of private events and public tours.
The Berkley Church, originally constructed in 1871 is now used as a stunning event venue. It's elegance and gorgeous outside space makes this a favourite of Toronto Event planners. 



CURRENT EVENTS
Toronto is a city that loves to party and celebrate. At any time there are a number of festivals, exhibits and special events happening in and around the big smoke. Compile a list of  current attractions and events that will be going on during their stay so they can fully experience the great city Torontonians do everyday.


PARKING/TRANSPORATION
This information is a necessity to your guests. Toronto is known for its crazy, year round construction so driving around town may be tricky depending on where your venue and your guests accommodations are located. And let’s not forget old faithful – the TTC. Routes are often closed due to repairs so we suggest some alternative best option routes for your guests to navigate around. Also, add a list of popular and not so known about tourist attractions for their downtime and how best to travel to them.

ACCOMODATIONS /HOTELS
There are more then plenty of hotels to choose from but as you head further away from the downtown core the options and availability may lessen. Send out a list of nearby and affordable hotels and accommodations close to your venue with the initial invitation or save-the-date card. Out of town guests will appreciate this gesture and is sure to make their trip into the city that much more enjoyable.

PERSONALIZE YOUR PARTY
You came to show your guests a good time so go the extra mile and personalize your event with custom vinyl decals that can be applied to any clean surface. Aura Effect is known for their creative and one of a kind images and vinyls which are applied over a vast selection of their LED Furniture and decor.
Customizing your event with images or text is a great way to elevate your party to an unforgettable level.

Try not to get caught up in the stress of it all and have fun, this is a party after all!

Party on Toronto!
