Liberty Grand: A Venue That Demands Smart, Elevated Layouts

With soaring ceilings, heritage architecture, and multiple ballrooms, Liberty Grand is one of Toronto’s most iconic event spaces. But to truly make the venue shine, your layout needs to do more than "fit the room" — it must elevate it.

At Ethereal Creators, we approach floor planning as a form of spatial storytelling — balancing guest comfort, decor visibility, and dynamic flow.

Below are three floor plans we’ve executed at Liberty Grand, each crafted to maximize the venue’s potential for different event types.

About the Room:

The Centennial Room is one of Liberty Grand’s most iconic ballrooms, located on the south side of the building. It’s a mirror image of the Governors Room, and features Italian marble floors, grand columns, and a private entrance foyer.

This ballroom’s classic bones and grand symmetry make it perfect for formal seated dinners, large-scale ceremonies, and immersive event designs.

Why This Layout Works:
