“Following an extensive process, the ROM is happy to confirm Daniel et Daniel, L-Eat, O&B Caters, and Presidential Gourmet as the preferred catering companies to continue on the Museum’s success of throwing the city’s best events.” said ROM Deputy Director and COO Glenn Dobbin. “Whether intimate sit down dinners for 10 guests or gala receptions of 4,000 people are being planned, these firms’ culinary talents, combined with the expertise of the ROM’s Hospitality Services’ personnel and the splendour of the Museum’s spaces and collections, assure memorable occasions at the ROM.”

The ROM will soon issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for c5 Restaurant/Lounge to contract with a new operator. The landmark venue, designed by Daniel Libeskind and located at the pinnacle of the Michael-Lee Chin Crystal, is a sought after Toronto event space. The restaurant’s reopening is slated for early 2014.

 Events at the ROM

The ROM is Canada’s premier cultural event destination. With its exceptional permanent collections, acclaimed special exhibitions, and dramatic public areas, the ROM offers an unequalled venue for business cultivation, seminars, celebratory dinners, receptions, and fundraising events. The Museum is the recipient of numerous accolades and is multi-award winning for events taking place in its spaces.

 Inspired by the ROM’s mineralogy collection, renowned architect Daniel Libeskind’s iconic Michael Lee-Chin Crystal presents stunning and unexpected prismatic forms which provide spectacular locations for corporate and social entertaining. The Museum’s renewed heritage wing offers high vaulted ceilings, soaring windows, and magnificent detailed stonework imparting extraordinary sophistication to events large and small. An event among the stunning collections of Canada’s largest museum of World Cultures and Natural History leaves a lasting impression.

 It should be noted that the ROM offers private event rentals for the purpose of generating additional operating funds to support the Museum’s core mandate which includes care of its magnificent collection of artifacts and specimens, curatorial research activities, and educational programming.
