Event planning entails a keen sense of organization balanced with gumshoe know-how for scouting out-of-the-box venue choices with novel details.

Response to last month’s Unique City Venues feature prompted TS Events XS to delve even further into tracking down the city’s not-so-obvious location gems.

We’ve put together more noteworthy venues with the help of a few whispered “gems” from within the planning community and Absolute Location Support Services and its on-line photo library listing thousands of potential film site properties:

Private Loft
Elegant, chic and airy  (18-ft. ceilings and five windows!), furnished or unfurnished, there’s a residential loft for event rent in the Weston Road and St. Clair area that’s been the setting for music videos, product launches and intimate social gatherings. The 2,300 sq. ft. open-concept space fits 120 people reception style with convenient ground level accessibility for move in and strike down.

Working fireplace, full kitchen and 14-ft. glam bar proffer in-house ambience-making tools. Remove the bed mattress and cast its 3-ft. high concrete perch as a stage. A custom-made, mirror-pretty bathtub awaits an icy transformation into a stylish bevy cooler. The loft’s owner – a retailer and film stylist – is a wealth of nifty ideas, décor and prop connections.
