Leo & Sala Goldhar Conference And Celebration Centre

Truly a hidden gem buried amidst the hustle and bustle of a busy JCC on the borders of Richmond Hill and Vaughan — just north of Bathurst and Rutherford/​Carville Rd.
A few months ago, Unilocal GTA (that’s me) hosted a fun-​filled event that took guests back in time to the 80s. But the event is not the focus of the review, the focus is the venue. Now as I mentioned you might not know it’s here as it’s located in a sort of hidden portion of the Schwartz-​Reisman Centre.
But now as you read this review, know that the juice (this venue) is totally and completely worth the squeeze (the search). The doors from the main center open up to wide hall, large enough to host an event if so required, lined with doors leading to multiple event spaces, washrooms and access to the outside garden/​terrace area.
The first room on the left is called the brides suite which is more of a small meeting space, following this you have 2 similar sized rooms for about 100 people, and then the piece de la resistance the grand ballroom space which can hold approximately 300. If you have a larger than normal function, a tracked door can be removed between every room (save for the brides suite) and 3 rooms become one massive L-​shaped hall. We utilized the entire space for out event and it really made for an impressive venue.
Other perks with this venue, coat check, a totally secure building, and free underground parking (when your event is in the middle of the winter). The one drawback for people not practicing the Jewish faith is that the venue is 100% Kosher compliant, and because of that what you bring in is limited and restricted. With that said they have a full (actually 2) kitchen (s) that produce amazing, delicious food that you wouldn’t know was kosher or otherwise.
For a wedding, business summit or conference, Bar/​Bat Mitzvah, or other special occasion, this is THE newest and most elegant hall in York Region. Don’t believe me? Come check it out for yourself — it WILL blow your mind!

These guys organized a Unilocal event for around 200 – 300 people and they did a bang up job. Easily located off Bathurst, about 5 minutes north of Rutherford, this building is easy to spot. It’s HUGE!!! Driving up, my friend and I thought it’d be a bit smaller, but she easily spotted it from the street and aptly commented «wow, that’s huge».
I’m not sure if it’s part of the centre, but there was a pool in the same building and I think it’d be great for doing fun celebrations.
As for the staff and organization, there were a few vendors and the venue catered the rest. The food was excellent. I really enjoyed the lamb burger, wings and veggie sushi. Staff was friendly too. Also, I noticed the food items were promptly refilled or kept coming out in trays.
Verdict: Would def. recommend to use as a venue for a big celebration.

Leo & Sala Goldhar Conference and Celebration Centre is a brand new event venue located at the Joseph and Wolf Lebovic Jewish Community Campus.
I was fortunate to attend a Unilocal Event here.
The underground parking lot is really spacious which I prefer than parking at the ground level outdoor lot.
The main event room is large enough for a stage setup or as a wedding venue. The staff working here is professional and pleasant.
Leo & Sala Goldhar also has it’s own catering facilities as they provided most of the food and non alcoholic beverage for the event. Chocolate fountain was impressive!
Thanks so much for a memorable evening!
