Billing

We accept payment by credit card, cheque, and e-transfer.

After your initial deposit, the balance of your bill will be paid 2-3 weeks before the event.

Yes, we request a refundable 25% deposit at the time of your booking.

Booking

Not at all. While many of our clients are interested in hosting traditional-style Indian parties or weddings, Dream Banquet Hall is a fully outfitted multipurpose venue. We regularly host a range of event types, like birthday parties, corporate events, and bridal showers. Likewise, our catering and entertainment options are just as flexible.

Several factors, like number of guests, alcohol service, and event type can affect whether you’ll need event insurance. Our team can help you understand whether you need insurance and support you on getting the right level of coverage.

We believe you shouldn’t have to share your special day with other wedding parties or event participants. When you book Dream Banquet Hall, the space is exclusively yours for the duration of your booking.

Event bookings last for up to 6 hours, with additional time available for a small fee. Most weekday events typically conclude at around midnight, while Friday and weekend events may continue until as late as 2 AM.

To provide you with more flexibility, the cost of your booking will depend on the number of guests attending and the service add-ons - like catering - that you select for your wedding. You’ll receive a full, itemized quote before you confirm your booking.

We are able to accommodate a range of party sizes. Please get in touch with us and we'll let you know if we can accommodate your preferred group size.

Cancellation

There may be a fee if an event is cancelled within two weeks of the booked date or if special accommodations were made to host the event.

We understand that plans can change. Typically, we’re able to provide event hosts with a full refund as long as we receive 2-3 weeks of notice regarding the cancellation.

Catering

Yes, if we’re catering for an event held outside of Dream Banquet Hall and the venue doesn’t have a kitchen, that’s okay. All food will be prepared at Dream Banquet Hall before being transported to your venue. While we may need a small amount of staging space, we’re still able to cater events at venues which don’t have kitchen facilities.

All food served by Dream Banquet Hall is prepared directly on site so that you and your guests are able to enjoy the flavours, textures, and aromas of the meal just as the chef intended.

At select events, table service may be provided instead of buffet-style dining for an additional charge. Please let us know if you’re interested in providing table service for your guests and we’ll confirm pricing and details with you.

For most events, dishes are prepared and served buffet-style to provide guests with convenient access.

Generally, guests provide their own alcohol for events unless prior arrangements have been made with our kitchen team.

Yes, we’re also able to provide light refreshments rather than full meal service. If that’s what your event requires, let us know and we’ll work with you to prepare a suitable menu.

We’ll work with you to determine when you want guests to have access to food and, if needed, when you want dining options to be rolled back or removed entirely.

Pricing is tailored to the needs of you and your guests. Once we’re familiar with your preferred menu and number of guests, we’ll be able to provide you with a quote.

Absolutely. If you’re interested in a customized culinary experience for your guests, or you’re hosting an event - like a cocktail party - that needs refreshments rather than full course meals, our catering team can adapt to your needs.

No, with decades of experience as a 5-star hotel chef and an independent restaurateur, Chef Amrish Sood can arrange culinary experiences featuring dishes from around the globe. That said, his selection of catered Indian-style menus are very popular.

Event Preparation

Our on-site kitchen facilities are reserved for meal preparation and service provided by our catering team. Third party caterers are allowed for an additional fee, but they will need to handle all food preparations off-site.

It depends on their size. In most cases, the double doors of our main entrance can readily accommodate large decorative arrangements or pieces of equipment.

In most cases, yes, we’re able to store equipment or supplies for you for a short period before your event—just ask us for more details.

We’re able to provide an in-house DJ and security team for events that require those services. If you need specialty services from other vendors, like makeup and styling, photography, or special effects, we encourage you to coordinate directly with them for your event.

While we’re able to provide some assistance with storage and initial delivery of decorations, the event hosts are responsible for setup and takedown of all event decorations. If you need help sourcing and setting up decorations, we suggest working with an experienced local event planner.

Yes, our decor, seating arrangements, and even room configurations are all customizable. If you have a particular style or presentation in mind for your event, our event coordinators and staff can help you bring that vision to life.
