One heritage building on Erb Street. Ceremony, cocktails, dinner and dancing in the same place, with catering, open bar, rentals and staff already in the package. You bring the guest list. We handle the rest.
“A Dream Venue Come True… an exquisite blend of class, glam, and grace.”
The Theatre seats up to 100 for a ceremony and opens into the Lobby Bar for 140 standing. Send your number and the events team will show you the layout that fits.
Almost nothing. Furniture, AV, bar and catering are already in the package, and the building is decorated. Couples arrive with flowers and a cake.
Because a 40-guest Friday and a 130-guest Saturday are not the same job. Send your date and guest count and a real quote comes back, usually within a day.
An 1880 heritage building with original wood, ornate chandeliers, marble and coloured lighting. Couples arrive with flowers and a cake.
Venue, open bar, catering, AV, furniture, staff and parking quoted together. One team, one invoice, one point of contact.
Ceremony, cocktails, dinner and dancing without moving your guests to a second address.
14 Erb St. West, steps from the LRT, walking distance to hotels and to the restaurants your out-of-town guests will want.
“The decor is amazing. I refer to it as a speakeasy atmosphere.”
Eight things that are already in the quote, so they are not eight more conversations.
The Theatre, the Lobby Bar and the run of the building for your day.
A staffed bar in the Lobby, in the package rather than a line item.
Chef-led menus built with you, cooked in the building's own kitchen.
Tables, seating and the room's own furniture. Nothing trucked in.
A 16-foot video wall, wireless microphones and Sonos throughout.
The events team runs your night, from set-up to clean-up.
On-site parking, and the LRT stops a short walk away.
An 1880 building that is already decorated. No draping required.
“Every single detail of the decor, amenities and spaces was meticulously thought out.”
The Theatre and the Lobby Bar run together as one night. The Library takes the smaller sittings.
The ceremony room. Elevated seating in velvet, a 16-foot video wall, wireless microphones, Sonos and lighting you can set to your colours. Flexible furniture, so the same room turns over for dinner and dancing while your guests are next door.
Full bar, ornate chandeliers, original wood, accessible washrooms and direct catering access. Where guests arrive, where cocktails happen during the turnover, and where the night tends to end.
One long-table room with a video screen and custom seating. Right for a micro wedding, a rehearsal dinner or a shower. Available as an add-on to a Theatre rental from $1,000 per hour, or booked on its own.
“Every detail is thoughtfully curated. I took a million pictures.”
Nobody gets in a car between the vows and the last song.
Between the two stone lions and through the colonnade. The photos start before anyone is seated.
Elevated seating so everyone actually sees. Wireless mics so everyone hears the vows. Doors close behind your guests.
Full bar, chandeliers, original wood. Your guests never leave the building — and you are outside on the steps having photos taken.
“Incredible space for events, with an inspiring and very unique ambiance.”

“A Dream Venue Come True. From the very first moment we stepped into Den1880 and met our hostess Paige, we knew we had found the perfect venue for our wedding. Den1880 is an exquisite blend of class, glam, and grace — everything we could have hoped for and more. The lighting is soft and romantic, the plush furniture adds comfort and elegance, the marble counters and high-end bathrooms elevate the feel of luxury, and the open space with thoughtfully curated décor meant we didn’t have to bring in a single extra item. But what truly set this venue apart was Paige. Kind, generous, thoughtful, and incredibly organized — Paige went above and beyond every step of the way. She anticipated our needs before we even voiced them and ensured our wedding day was seamless and perfect. Her care and dedication were felt not only by us but by our guests, who couldn’t stop raving about both the venue and the atmosphere she helped create. We received so many compliments and countless people saying they wished they had discovered Den1880 sooner. Paige and her team were flawless. We are forever grateful.”
“Paige, Hannah, Alysha, and Cassie facilitated a fantastic retirement party for a dear colleague and friend. The facility at Den 1880 was perfect and as the night evolved, we migrated through the rooms from cocktails to dessert. All of our guests were complementary and enjoyed the experience making memories underpinned by the ambience and environment. Details matter and Den 1880 outperformed in every way. With their collaborative catering partner Gourmet Chef at Your Table - the event was perfect. Thanks again to the fab four for a wonderful event - we will be back.”
