Room notes

The Symes: technical

Ceiling
High, exposed structure.
Capacity
Around 300 seated.
Load-in
Ground level with good vehicle access. One of the easier downtown-adjacent builds.
Power
Reasonable, with room to add distro.
In-house sound
Minimal. Bring everything.
Curfew
Typically 1am; industrial context helps.
Lighting
Exposed structure takes uplighting and beams beautifully. This is a room where a moving-head rig actually earns its place.

What to watch for here

  • Concrete and glass throughout: the room is reverberant. Sound needs aiming, not volume.
  • Speech intelligibility needs particular attention here; distributed front-fill beats one loud system.

What we bring to The Symes

Everything, since the house AV is minimal: a full reception system for around 300 seated, uplighting and beams on the exposed structure, and the moving-head rig this room justifies.

The first question is always whether the date is open. Start there: the rest takes two minutes.

1. What is the event?
Estimate Shown on each option above Flat quote confirmed before any work starts. Prices in CAD, before HST.
2. Where will it happen?
Name the venue if it is booked. If you are still choosing, leave this blank. The date is enough to start.
3. When is it?
If the date is not fixed, choose the first day of the month you are aiming for and tell us in the notes. Popular Saturdays often book nine to twelve months ahead. Short-notice dates are still worth asking about.
4. How do we reach you?
5. Review and send

Two separate permissions, because in Canadian law they are two separate things. Ticking one never ticks the other, both are optional, and neither changes how we handle your booking.

No payment now and no obligation. We reply within one working day with availability and the right next step.
