Testimonials

“What an extraordinary venue! The lodge on queen was where we chose to host our wedding reception. The fun quirky feel was exactly what we were looking for and we knew our guests would love it too! We booked at the start of the pandemic and Anna and the Owners were efficient and empathic in helping us reschedule and accommodate the circumstances over 2.5 years! I’m so glad we waited. The night was incredible and our guests loved the space. Right in the downtown core, it was easily accessible and captured the rustic, vintage essence of Queen west while still ticking all the boxes for a quaint, personal, special event. Anna and her team had everything covered from the tacos to the drink bar and the natural décor of the space is stunning so we didn’t need to make too many adjustments to set up prior. It was a really easy place to host what is typically a stressful event. Thank you so much to you all for an unforgettable experience to celebrate our union!”

“We held our Wedding at the Lodge on Queen middle of May and it was unreal! Anna and her whole team were incredible! Hard working, super friendly, and extremely accommodating. We can’t stress enough how special and beautiful this place is to host your wedding. Your day will run so smoothly. “Worry-free wedding” is the correct term for their offered packages. PLUS we have heard nothing but raving reviews from our friends and family - about the food, the service, the atmosphere etc. We highly recommend this unique venue! It was a true testament to who my husband and I are. . Thank you so much Anna and team! ”

“Anna and the Lodge team are absolute angels. I had many changes to my wedding that required a lot of extra help and support, and Anna and her team took it with grace and really made everything worry-free.
She was able to accommodate for all of my needs, from family expectations to ever-increasing guest lists, to constant changes from COVID and most importantly - bringing our dance-party-meets-traditional-formal theme to life.
100% recommend to anyone looking for a downtown wedding where you don’t have to think about too much, and can rely on a fully experienced staff who also know how to have fun.
I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat!Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.”

“We held our wedding ceremony and reception at The Lodge. The venue is absolutely beautiful (it looks even better and bigger in person, if you can imagine!), and Ron and Diane are beyond accommodating. Diane took care of our food menu and drinks, as well as much of the floral decor. She is honestly the best! We received so many compliments from our guests about how they loved the unique venue and the intimate vibe. We would highly recommend The Lodge to anyone looking to host an event! Thank you so much for everything!!”

“I had my wedding at the Lodge and it was magical. The space was amazing and the raw brick and wooden floors were the perfect juxtaposition for the glitter and glam of my décor. Diane and Ron were fantastic and the fact that we could bring in our alcohol and catering was a huge cost savings! Love, love, love the Lodge.”

“This space is so versatile!  One could have a breakfast meeting in the morning, play some pool in the afternoon, and gather with friends at night. Ron and Diane held a chocolate and wine pairing event that was stellar. I booked and taught a bitters making tutorial that was very successful with Ron and Diane’s help. A wonderful group of people here, and the space can transform from a work space to a wedding space in a snap. I would highly recommend Lodge On Queen for your next event.”

“Held an event at The Lodge back in April that featured a whiskey tasting and live band. The eclectic décor and laid back atmosphere coupled to make the event a huge success. Working with the team there was a breeze. The space is extremely flexible with the facilities and flexibility for small to large gatherings of any shape. Highly recommend the club for your next event.”

“Love love The Lodge on Queen! Such a stunning and warm place where I’m able to socialize, bring clients and entertain. I’ve been a member of many social clubs and this is my absolute favourite. Diane and Ron are such generous and kind humans. I suggest checking it out for your next venue and the very least a membership!”

“Lodge on Queen is like a 2nd home, where you feel comfortable and welcome in a place tucked away from the busy city. The owners Diane & Ron are hospitable, kind, generous and accommodating to each of the members and have implemented members nights and theme nights to encourage interaction and friendships among members. The 3rd floor event space is unique with decor that highlights the character of the building and allows for fun open concept receptions with a full kitchen to host events in a place hidden well away from the city. Like the owners, members and the character of the LOQ, The Lodge on Queen is a true gem.”

“Always such a warm and inviting space! Perfect for meetings & family gatherings. Event space is amazing, and is the best bang for your dollar in Toronto! I threw a few birthday parties there, and this is an amazing space if you want to bring in your own food and beverage....perfect for those do it yourself events. We had our TIFF15 event there last year, and Diane and Ron went above and beyond what other vendors would do. Everyone had a great time and our sponsors were thrilled with the successful turnout. We look forward to TIFF16 Hollywood North!!

“I held a large party at The Lodge this past spring. Everything was perfect. Thank you to Ron and Diane for adding those special touches. Our guests loved the urban vibe along with the warmth of comfortable decor. We will be back!”

“The venue is great! We host our annual holiday party there. A great city vibe. Diane (The venue manager) is also amazing. She really takes over the event so you don’t have to worry about the details. Couldn’t be happier.”

“The Lodge is a beautiful space on Queen Street that can be used for a variety of events. I’ve had a party there, and recently I also filmed part of a short film there. It’s great for a number of activities, and Ron and Diane are excellent with accommodating the specific needs of each event. It’s also in an incredibly convenient location, which makes it easy to bring in your own food and beverage, and it’s easy for people to get to. I absolutely recommend it.”

“We just had our wedding here this past weekend and let me tell you, it was fantastic. Everything ran so seamlessly. Anna, the event planner and specialist, took very good care of us. From the beginning, she was responsive and reliable. She made sure to answer all of our questions and was very flexible with some of the changes we requested. The food was delicious and abundant. The staff was super organized, kind and friendly. They went above and beyond to help our elderly guests and put away all of our decorations so they could easily be picked up the next day. The space is so beautiful - you really don’t need to do much to it. I definitely recommend looking into to their wedding packages as you will not be disappointed. We would definitely host another event there. Thank you so so much Anna and the staff at the Lodge on Queen. It was truly an amazing night!!!

“Definitely a hidden gem (pun slightly intended ;)) in the city, and the perfect venue for our intimate wedding. Anna was amazing - prompt, patient, and had answers to every question we had and armed us with the knowledge we needed to create an amazing night. The staff working the night of were also lovely and took great care of us! The Worry-Free Wedding package was exactly what we were looking for and everything they promised - plenty of food, drinks, and we barely brought anything additional in (just a couple extra flowers, card box, fairy lights, etc.) - the decor that’s already there was amazing and many guests complimented the cozy and comfy atmosphere. We felt safe with their COVID-19 related procedures and expectations, and had an absolutely unforgettable time. Cannot recommend the Lodge enough!! Thank you
