BANQUET ROOM INFORMATION

The Conservatory

Booking an evening event at Casa Loma assures you the exclusive use of all three function rooms on the main floor.

The Great Hall, The Library, and The Conservatory each have a unique charm and architectural design, providing an atmosphere unrivalled by any other facility in the city.

The elegance of Casa Loma begins in The Great Hall, with its impressive 60-foot high oak beamed ceiling and 40-foot bay window.

Adjacent to The Great Hall is The Library. Warm wood paneling, an ornately-plastered ceiling and an intricately patterned oak floor make The Library an inviting and attractive room for a variety of dinners and/or dances, receptions and meetings.

The Conservatory captures the beauty of a Mediterranean courtyard, with marble floors and ferneries filled with lush green plants. The room is lined with large gothic-style leaded windows and the focal point is an Italian stained glass dome in the ceiling. In addition to dinners and receptions, The Conservatory is the perfect setting for wedding ceremonies.
