Saints Peter & Paul Banquet Hall

Was here for an event this past Saturday. Must say I would not recommend this banquet hall to anyone.
Air Canada’ meal service was similar.
The menu was chicken soup, I feel Campbell ’ s would of tasted better. No taste what so ever.
For main course it was beef & chicken breast, which were over cooked. I actually was not able to cut it with a knife. Trimmings, potatoes & vegetables. Once again very dry and no seasoning.
The service was not very unfriendly. If you asked for anything extra, it was provided but with an attitude.
The dinner dishes were being cleared using a cart. All the left over food (garbage) from the plates, were cleared into the cart. This cart was next to the guest between the tables. Horrible smell and not an pleasant appearance. Maybe this process can be left behind closed doors.
Dessert, we’ll what to say… I was passing by the open door of the kitchen while our desserts were being plated by hand no gloves. So honestly did not try dessert. The rest of the guests were not pleased either.
The bathrooms could of used some maintance throughout the evening. The garbage was over flowing.
On a positive note. Nothing.

We were here for a fundraising type dance/​dinner event.
The site from the outside looked better on the internet. When we pulled into the parking lot I thought it wasn’t a banquet hall. The hall is actually in the process of being renovated. In terms of décor, half the walls in the ballroom wasn’t done yet (u can see it was being primed soon). The lights were taken out of the walls and ceilings but the drapes were up. It will probably leave a better impression if was completed. Luckily, it was just a fundraising event and not a wedding. The washrooms look new & very clean. The stage area will look great w/​uplights but then again what room doesn’t look good w/​those lights? I’m glad we were sitting near the back as the sound system was a bit loud… or was that the DJ’s equipment?
Food — honestly it was as expected for banquet hall food. The menu was…
Mixed field greens (aka lettuce), with orange dijon vinaigrette and toasted almonds and mandarins — ppl at the table complained it was too salty. i just thought it had a little too much dressing but otherwise it was acceptable.
Entrée — Double breast of chicken stuffed with wild rice medley — they said double right? cuz it was just one. either that or it was a small breast. i thought it was fine. just a teensy bit dry but the sauce probably saved it.
Oven roasted potatoes with garlic, olive oil and rosemary — i usually like this more crunchy but it was fine.
Seasonal medley of vegetables — slightly salty but acceptable
Dinner rolls & butter — aka bread (not toasted)
Dessert — Ice cream Crêpe (this was good but then how can u screw up ice cream?) and coffee/​tea. My tea looked a bit green after I poured in the cream. It was a bit watered down. But again… this is banquet hall food and we should just be happy we can have a meal.
Service was questionable. We had a cranky lady serving us. She had asked our table who had wanted tea/​coffee. One friend was not present at the table when the server asked. So when our friend came back & asked for tea/​coffee the old lady was all pissed off and raised her voice (practically shouting) «I WAS JUST HERE AND ASKED YOU!!!»…whoa…
Also when we were eating dessert another server was already clearing things and asked my hubby for his napkin. But… we are still eating and will need our napkins…

I came here for not a wedding, but a large event, similar to a wedding. The room was really grand, with high ceilings and two chandeliers, drapery and large dance floor. There was about 300 – 400 people (so they say) in the room, and it was very comfortable.
There was a large stage at the front where the event I was at had a 24 piece band, with good acoustics. Huge dance floor.
The entrance area was small and carpeted. The bathrooms were tiny as well, and not well maintained at all. It was dirty and gross, and the garbage was overflowing with paper towels. No one came to check or clean this throughout the event.
The food was actually not bad. We had a small salad covered in some creamy thousand island dressing. The main was a beef (yum) and chicken breast (yuck) with potatoes and yummy grilled veggies. A chocolate mousse slice for dessert which wasn’t bad either.
The service was terrible. They would never come with the correct amount of plates per table leaving always a few people stranded and everyone else waiting. The place the plate on the table like it wasn’t fragile at all.
Coffee and tea time, they came around with pots, but as if they were trying to avoid you, would not wait for your acknowledgement and move on to the next table.
When I finally called someone over for tea (coffee never came), they filled up only the 4 cups I pointed out.
When we wanted more, we went to the bar, and they assured us someone was coming around. No one ever did, and the same people that told me someone was coming around started clearing my cups.
The event wasn’t even over and they began clearing cups and wine glasses even though we clearly had a bottle of wine half full on the table.
During the entire event, we were wondering why we paid front row tickets and got stuck in the back. Turns out the venue had placed the table numbers wrong. To their benefit all the ticket prices were the same, otherwise I would have made a stink about this!
That’s just my two cents. I wouldn’t want my wedding her due to the service. Food and décor can always be controlled, but difficult to change something like this.
