Anyone know anything about this new venue Erin Mills CC??  I've heard it's fairly new!  Not much information out there on it so thought I'd post!

    Hello,
    I have never heard of it until now so I went on the site and it looks nice (but those are pictures). Since they are new maybe they can give you a good deal to get business.

    Personally I would recommend you stay away from this place.  We had an event there on November 5th and up until the day, all the planning and everything, it seemed like it was going fine.  Then when the day came it went from positive to negative very quickly.  We suddenly had to deal with the other partner/owner who knew nothing about our event and what we had planned.  They got super anal about the number of people we were bringing and the number of table we had.

    We had approximately 750 people but needed 80 tables (10 per table) as we were not filling all the tables to the brim.  The owner then wanted to know which tables were not full so that he could take chairs away.  And then while we're going through the process he starts cursing because he had to move so many chairs out when he'd just put them all down.  We had to re-arrange their table because they didn't put them in any sort of format, they just seemed liked they were randomly placed.

    Once, the event started it just went down hill from there.  We told them that we wanted the doors open at 5PM and they weren't ready until 5:30pm leaving our people out in the lobby.  They were under staffed so tables were never cleared.  They gave out drinks in styrofoam cups (could you imagine your guests coming to your wedding and getting drinks in styrofoam cups :s).  When we asked staff to fill the water jugs on the tables they asked us to get the water jugs for them.

    And then the food!  The food was scarce.  It tasted good if you were able to get some, which was only the first 50 people in each buffet line.  Then the wait for each buffet line was about 45 minutes.  When they brought out food they would bring enough for about 5 - 10 people.

    The staff was friendly but management was rude and not easy to work with.  My recommendation, stay away from this palce.
