Markham Convention Centre hosts corporate meetings, conferences, galas and large weddings for up to about 1,200 banquet guests in four ballrooms that open into one hall, on the northeast edge of Toronto. Each ballroom can work alone for a few hundred guests, or the rooms combine in pairs or all together, which makes the venue a fit for groups of 150 and more.
Seminars and company events
The corporate offer covers annual meetings, off-site conferences, team-building events and client appreciation dinners. The events team plans the room layout and the menu around each program and supports the group from start to finish on the day. Complimentary WiFi is included, and podiums and staging are available when needed. Food and drink options listed for business groups include a quick meeting menu, breakfast buffets, working lunches, specialty and individual breaks, a grand buffet, plated dinners, cocktail receptions, packaged receptions and food stations. Large plenary sessions can use the combined hall, while a single ballroom can serve a smaller meeting, a lunch or a reception. The floor plan also lists a boardroom.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a large part of the business. The venue offers wedding packages with Portuguese, Italian, Greek and classic menus, a winter wedding package, and dedicated South Asian packages that include breakfast, pre-wedding and classic menus and a halal menu. Combined ballrooms give room for guest lists in the high hundreds.
