The StartWell Event Studio is Toronto’s dedicated hybrid event venue for impactful presentations and cinematic broadcasts.
A unique standalone event venue – pre-configured for professional media productions with in-room seating for 100 audience members plus extra space for catering, networking socials and more.
Welcome to a truly stunning event venue – designed to enable a new type of modern corporate event. StartWell’s Event Studio enables companies to bring people together in person for conferences, talks, workshops, training seminars, socials or anything else, and share roundtables or stage presentations through engaging cinematic broadcasts which use Netflix grade equipment and our own in-house production team.
The venue is intimate yet large – offering our broadcast studio as well as an open concept lounge/reception area to entertain guests with hospitality through cocktail hours, custom dining setups and so on.
We’ve even included an on-site bar so that your guests can enjoy amazing cappuccinos crafted by our staff baristas.
Optional Extras
We’ve designed the AV on site to enable self-driven event productions, or more robust experiences involving our in-house media and hospitality teams. Rent the building and get going, or choose to engage us for any of the following optional extras.
- Photography – Our photographers don’t watermark their shots and let you do whatever you’d like with photos captured at your event.
- Live Streams & Film Production – our managed services team can produce content for live streaming or post-production using our Blackmagic studio suite in 1080 or 4K with up to 4 cameras simultaneously recording.
- Catering & Food service – We can recommend solutions or you can simply use your own caterer for no extra fees!
- Open Bar & Premium Coffee – Featuring house red and white wine plus craft beer, espresso drinks and serving staff as needed.
- Extra Space – We can accessorise venue booking with overflow space or additional work and meeting space around the corner at StartWell’s main King Street buildings.
PHOTOS: Event venue (presentation area)
This awe-inspiring space can seat over 100 people whilst providing enough space for a theatrically lit stage. We have tall ceilings with rigged lighting equipment as well as projectors – so you can get media assets for branding or to support presentations on the walls easily.
The walls in our presentation space are specially curved; at their corner and into the floor – this unique finish enables a shadowless effect which expands space to create an infinity backdrop behind presenters. With or without our massive projections on the wall, talks will feel intimate whilst offering atmosphere for guests which feels comfortable yet commands attention.
PHOTOS: Entrance/reception area to the event venue building (w/open concept kitchen, meeting, dining & lounge space)
Our open concept kitchen and espresso bar is at the building’s entrance and enough space flanks either side of the doors for guest registration or lounge setups. Once you enter, grab a drink from a bartender or barista and head into a large open space for networking. This lounge area features modular furniture for custom setups; including couches on wheels, folding tables and chairs as well as high tops (everything’s already onsite and included with rental.)
The back of this reception space also features a large screen for presentations, branding or a live camera feed from the main studio space – so even if guests leave their seats to grab a snack or drink they can keep watching your content as it unfolds on stage.
