The Carlu

The Carlu is a historic event and wedding venue at 444 Yonge Street in Toronto, known for its distinctive Art Moderne architecture. Originally opened in 1930 as Eaton’s Seventh Floor, the space was designed by French architect Jacques Carlu. Following an extensive restoration, it reopened as The Carlu in 2003 and is now designated a National Historic Site of Canada.

The venue hosts weddings, corporate events, galas, conventions, social celebrations, and other special occasions. It offers event spaces and wedding and event packages, with options suited to both personal celebrations and business gatherings. Recognized as one of Toronto’s notable examples of Art Moderne design, The Carlu combines a historic setting with facilities for contemporary events. It has also welcomed royalty on several occasions and is described as a preferred choice for high-profile weddings, social fetes, conventions, and corporate celebrations. The Carlu is part of the Oliver & Bonacini Restaurant family and provides event information and inquiries through its website and contact team.
