Amazingly beautiful!

We recently had our wedding this past Saturday at YMG2. My wife and I were floored at how wonderful everything looked and felt. A number of guests also complimented the decor, and never knew this place existed since it's hidden in an industrial complex. Claire has been a great help from the start, being flexible with our numbers, and guiding us through the process. We had multiple compliments about the food, from the appetizers to the entree, and the speed of service . We used CaterTrendz Culinary. The bar was staffed with 2 bartenders and they were able to provide speedy service with getting the drinks out.

We would highly recommend YGM for any event!

I highly recommend this venue!

I recently hosted my wedding event at YMG and I can't say enough good things about it! The food was absolutely amazing, and the service was top-notch. The staff was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, from the initial planning stages to the actual event itself. They went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly and that our guests had an unforgettable time.

Overall, I highly recommend this venue to anyone who wants to host a special event. It truly was a night to remember, and I cannot thank the staff enough for their hard work and dedication. If you're looking for delicious food (Catertrendz), excellent service, and an unforgettable experience, then this is the perfect place for you!

Everything was perfect!

My husband and I recently got married here at YMG2 on Feb 18. We didn't do the traditional route newly engaged couples do by touring venues, but rather booked YMG based solely on what we saw on instagram alone. Back in Nov 2021, when we initially signed the contract we worked with Isaac, and as 2022 came I wasn't informed that the venue manager I was working with changed. But let me just say that Samir is a gem. He was so helpful and even gave tips on how to save on costs. He even gave me his personal number so it would be easier to reach him. He honestly went above and beyond for us and we are so incredibly happy with everything he did for us and how our wedding turned out. The food was AMAZING - the apps during cocktail hour, the pasta for our 1st course, the main and the dessert! even the late night stations were amazing as well! Our guests kept commenting on how the food is on the top of their list of good venue food, the staff were all so sweet! The servers kept asking if we wanted anything, and would grab us drinks from the bar since my Husband and I were on the other side of the room. My only regret is that I left the table for a little too long and my plate was gone (but that's not the venue's fault as I know I left just a small piece I wanted to finish haha). The energy of the bartenders was top tier! They were having fun with us and vibing with all of the guests. Shoutout to Suri!!! I loved her! She even looked out for me and handed me water shots instead when I asked (haha).

One of the things I loved most was the freedom of how everything was set up - from which table was placed where, where the dj was placed, the late night stations etc. - even the reception area I had freedom to pick where to place everything. I also loved the large video screen in the reception area, many guests commented how they never saw that before! And lastly when staff brought food and drinks to our bridal suite without us even asking - that was such a kind gesture when we were just taking a breather and soaking everything in.

My husband and I are incredibly happy with having picked YMG2 as our wedding venue - the price, the overall aesthetics of the brick and white walls, the bar and food options, the best hospitality from all of their staff and having Samir there with us guiding us through it all.

I'm still thinking about the beef dinner we had, and my husband is still thinking about the dessert he didn't get to touch!! Hahaha.

Attached are some photos taken through a guest's phone - and although not a professional camera you can already see the details of this venue!

Thank you for making our wedding everything we hoped for!

We could not be happier we chose the YMG for our wedding venue. From beginning to end, through a pandemic and newborn baby, the team was so easy to work with. They accommodated all of our last minute changes and were always available for absolutely anything we needed. Noura and Rosa were fantastic, I can’t thank them enough. They truly went above and beyond to make sure it was an enjoyable experience for us and our guests.

I am still hearing from guests how beautiful the venue and how delicious the food was. The braised short rib and the truffle Mac and Cheese are a must!

Isaac has done an amazing job with the venue and experience, they don’t miss a single detail. Thank you for making our wedding everything we hoped for!

Thank you for a wonderful wedding

We had to postpone our wedding twice, and the YMG was very flexible and accommodating for our changes. Our wedding was held at the YMG1 (The larger venue). We had a great time and Frances and Praveen were easy to work with. We could not be any happier with the bar and food. Our guests are still talking about both! This definitely a 'one stop shop' if you are looking for a venue for your ceremony and reception that can accommodate 300+ people. Thank you for a wonderful wedding.

Delivered our dream wedding!

Professional is the first thing that comes to mind when dealing with the York Mills Gallery. We first met with isaac who was very prompt to respond and give us all of the details he could, upon signing the contract we then worked with cater trendz, they were able to help us with every question we had, and made our wedding day perfect!
