Anne & Agim — September 25, 2026

The Main Event

The Reception

◆

Join us for an unforgettable evening at the Eglinton Grand — a breathtaking 1936 Art Deco landmark in the heart of Toronto. Originally built as the city's "Show Place of Toronto," it is a designated National Historic Site lovingly restored to its original grandeur. With soaring ceilings, rich mahogany woodwork, and a glittering marquee straight out of Hollywood's golden age — there's no better stage, and honestly, we wouldn't have had it any other way.

Plan Your Journey

Getting There

◆

The venue is located at 400 Eglinton Ave W, just west of Avenue Road in Midtown Toronto. September 25th is a Friday — please see the advisory below and plan accordingly. We strongly recommend booking a hotel nearby or taking transit or a rideshare so you can enjoy the evening without worrying about the drive home.

⚠ Friday Night Traffic Advisory

Friday evening rush hour in Toronto typically runs from 3:30 pm to 7:00 pm, and is consistently among the worst traffic in North America. If you're driving in, plan to arrive before 3:30 pm or after 7:30 pm, or allow an extra 45–60 minutes. Rideshare or subway is the easiest option.

🅿️

Parking at the Eglinton Grand

The closest parking lot to the Eglinton Grand is at 125 Burnaby Blvd — just around the corner from the venue.

We will be covering the cost of parking for guests who indicated they are driving in their RSVP. Simply park at 125 Burnaby Blvd and we'll take care of the bill.
