IBA Guide 2025: Welcome to Toronto

Another option for meetings and mixers is a public institution. Toronto is rich in buildings of architectural and cultural significance. Here are our three recommendations:

The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) 100 Queens Park

Canada’s largest museum, the ROM, is home to more than 12 million artworks, cultural objects and natural history specimens. An iconic building in Toronto, it combines heritage architecture with a striking contemporary extension known as the Michael Lee- Chin Crystal. The ROM is an extraordinary event space for cocktail receptions or seated dinners for 50 to 2,500 guests, with dedicated catering and events partners to realize your vision.

The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) 317 Dundas Street West

Designed by influential architect Frank Gehry and housing close to 95,000 artworks, the AGO provides a dramatic and culturally distinctive backdrop to corporate events. It offers gallery rooms, bistro and restaurant spaces, a private members’ lounge, an amphitheatre, an atrium and seminar rooms for private bookings. Special features include bespoke menus, 3D renderings of room design concepts, extensive décor capabilities, custom staging and audiovisual services, supplier recommendations, floral services and customized art tours.

The Globe and Mail Centre 351 King Street East

Located in the headquarters of Canada’s most prominent news outlet, the Globe and Mail Centre provides panoramic views of downtown Toronto and Lake Ontario from its expansive terrace. This dynamic venue is suited to cocktail receptions or seated dinner service and offers stylish furniture options, custom set-ups, catering by recommended Toronto partners and audiovisual services.

In the Restaurants, Private Dining section, you will also find some of the city’s best private dining options. These establishments offer catered sit-down meals as well as cocktail-style mixers, in private and semi-private spaces. Some also offer a full buy-out option.
