Styled in both name and design to reflect its heritage, The Symes at 150 Symes Rd. has become one of Toronto’s foremost event venues. The authentic Art Deco site is a passion project of Viviana Kohon, Namita Tandon-Walsh and Caitie Yue. “We’re thrilled with this Art Deco masterpiece with such a history in the city. We look forward to showcasing it through our client’s events”, said Viviana Kohon. “We want to keep the site’s original beauty intact while keeping with our own philosophy and vision.” With an official Heritage designation, the building has been re-envisioned for the 21st century. “It’s old, it’s young and it’s romantic,” says Namita Tandon-Walsh. “We want people to just walk in and fall in love with the space like we did when we first saw it. The building is situated on 5.5 acres next to Stock Yards Village in the vibrant Junction District, making it readily accessible by car and transit. Each room is equipped with a fully licensed bar, staff and kitchen area, sunroom, and accessible entrances and restrooms. The multipurpose venue offers more than 9,700 square feet (TBC, tweaking the plans a bit right now) of combined space in the form of two breathtaking rooms. Grand Symes: • With a capacity of 350 guests, The Grand Symes features 5,600 square feet of space, expanded by vaulted ceilings and three skylights • Vehicles can drive directly into the space, allowing for ease of catering services, art installations and even vehicle display.
