Whether you're organizing an intimate bridal shower, a milestone birthday, or a picture-perfect baby shower, one thing’s for sure—decor can make or break the vibe of your event. It’s the first thing guests see when they walk in, and it’s what turns a simple gathering into a truly memorable experience. From your colour palette to your centrepieces, every detail works together to tell your story.
And let’s be honest—GTA celebrations come with high expectations. Toronto and Etobicoke are bursting with stylish, photo-worthy events, and if you’re hosting, you want yours to stand out. That’s where the right venue and decor choices come in.
At Artistic Decor Venue, we’ve helped countless clients across Toronto and the West End bring their dream events to life. Located in the heart of Etobicoke, our boutique venue is loved for its versatility, warmth, and beautifully designed space. But what really sets us apart? We offer both fully customizable decor setups and stunning pre-designed packages—so you can go as unique or as ready-made as your heart (and timeline) desires.
Not sure which route to take? No worries, bestie—we’re going to walk you through both options and help you figure out what fits your vision, your budget, and your schedule best.
Alright, let’s talk about one of the easiest (and still totally gorgeous) ways to style your event: pre-designed decor packages.
Pre-designed decor means you get access to a selection of ready-made design setups that have already been thoughtfully curated by our in-house stylists. We’re talking full-on tablescapes, floral arrangements, backdrops, seating accents, and more—all pulled together into cohesive themes that are event-ready and Insta-approved 📸✨.
So why do our clients love this option? Let’s break it down.
If you're on a tight schedule or just don’t want to get caught up in a million tiny decisions (napkin rings, anyone?), then pre-designed decor is your best friend. You simply browse through our style packages—think modern elegance, boho chic, glam golds, soft pastels, and more—and pick the one that speaks to your vibe. No stress, no fuss. We set it up. You show up. 💁♀️
Because these packages are already designed and prepped, they’re more budget-friendly than custom builds. You’re saving time and money without sacrificing style. This makes pre-designed decor a fave for birthday parties, bridal showers, baby showers, or even small wedding receptions—especially when you want that Pinterest-perfect look without the custom price tag.
Planning something sweet and simple? Our small party room rentals in Etobicoke are ideal for hosting affordable, elegant events using pre-set packages!
Our pre-designed setups have been used for hundreds of successful events, so you’re choosing from layouts and color palettes that we know photograph beautifully and wow guests every time. These packages are refined, polished, and designed with versatility in mind—perfect for creating a high-impact experience with minimal planning on your end.
Of course, pre-designed decor isn’t always the right fit for everyone. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Because the designs are pre-set, there’s less wiggle room for super specific themes or personal touches. If you’ve been dreaming of a “Disco Jungle Baby Shower” or a Bridgerton-themed bridal bash, you might find yourself feeling a bit boxed in with the options.
Now, if you’re the type who wants every detail of your event to scream “you”, then let’s talk about the magic of custom decor.
Custom decor means we work closely with you (and when we say closely, we mean collab-worthy Pinterest board deep-dives) to design a one-of-a-kind look that reflects your vision, personality, and theme from top to bottom. Whether you're planning a luxe wedding, a cultural celebration, or an ultra-creative baby shower, custom decor lets you bring that dream to life—your way.
Here’s why some of our most creative (and stylish!) clients go custom:
Custom decor is all about creating a vibe that’s totally yours. Want a black-tie garden party with candlelit florals? Or a Barbiecore birthday bash with velvet everything? We’ve got you. From the colour palette to the florals to that custom neon sign you saw on TikTok—we'll help you make it happen. Every detail is designed with your story in mind.
Need to match your decor to a cultural tradition, a personal aesthetic, or a brand palette? Custom gives you complete creative freedom. You can incorporate family heirlooms, mix textures, play with unique centerpieces, or even bring in special lighting and signage. We’ll guide you through each step so it’s cohesive, stylish, and SO you.
PS: Many of our custom clients start by touring our Etobicoke venue space to see how they can transform it—so if you’re curious, we’re always happy to show you around!
But before you go full DIY on your dream decor board, here are a couple things to keep in mind:
Because it’s all tailored to you, custom decor tends to be more of an investment. You’re paying for bespoke design, premium materials, and the hands-on time it takes to make it perfect. But trust us—it’s so worth it when you walk into your event and feel like you just stepped into your own personal wonderland.
With all that detail comes a bit more planning. Custom designs require extra coordination, time for sourcing elements, mockups, and walkthroughs. So if you’re planning a last-minute event, this might not be the best fit—but if you’ve got a bit of time? The creative possibilities are endless.
So if you're dreaming up a one-of-a-kind event that’s dripping in you-ness, custom decor is where it's at. And don’t worry—you won’t be doing it alone. We’ll be with you every step of the way to turn those ideas into an unforgettable experience.
When you're ready, let’s move on to how Artistic Decor Venue offers both options, so clients can get the best of both worlds. Just say the word! 💖
Now that we’ve covered the difference between pre-designed and custom decor, let’s talk about where the magic really happens—right here at Artistic Decor Venue.
We’re not just any event space. We’re your decor-loving, design-obsessed sidekick ready to help you pull off your dream celebration without the overwhelm. ✨
For those who want to keep it simple but stunning, we’ve got you covered with over 40 curated decor packages. These ready-to-go looks range from elegant neutrals and luxe metallics to bold statement colours and whimsical florals—each one designed with today’s trends and timeless style in mind.
Think of them as your easy-button for event planning: just choose your vibe, and we’ll take care of the rest. It’s why our small party room rentals in Etobicoke are so popular—we make it easy for busy hosts to create events that still feel elevated.
Now here’s where things get even better: even our pre-set packages can be personalized. Want to swap out colours? Add a floral arch? Bring in extra sparkle? We love that for you.
Thanks to our large in-house decor inventory, you can blend custom touches into a base package—or go full custom if that’s more your style. Our team is here to guide you through all the options and help you build a decor plan that works for your budget, timeline, and vision board goals.

Let me know when you’re ready to move on to the next section: Factors to Consider When Choosing Between Custom and Pre-Designed Decor 💡
Okay, so you’re officially torn between the beauty of a ready-made setup and the sparkle of something custom. We get it—it’s a tough (but exciting!) choice. So let’s walk through a few key questions to help you figure out what’s best for your event.
Start with the basics: what kind of event are you hosting? A dreamy wedding? A high-energy birthday party? A professional networking event?
Some event types naturally lean toward one option over the other. For example:
Your event’s overall vibe (think romantic, elegant, playful, minimalist) will help guide whether you need that extra layer of personalization.
Psst… still exploring? Peek at our bridal shower locations for inspo!
Let’s talk numbers. 💸 Your budget will naturally help narrow your options. Pre-designed decor tends to be more cost-effective, since you're working within pre-curated styles that don’t require design hours or custom materials.
But if decor is your top priority (or you’ve got a very specific vision), allocating a bit more for custom elements can give you the wow factor you’re after. We’re pros at helping you stretch your budget without sacrificing style—custom or not.
Planning on a tight schedule? Go with pre-designed. These packages are event-ready and quick to execute, even with a few personal touches added in.
But if you’ve got a few months to play with, custom decor gives you the flexibility to go deeper into design. Just remember, custom setups involve more back-and-forth, sourcing, and mockups—so plan ahead if you’re going that route.
Last (but absolutely not least), ask yourself: how much does it matter to you that your event feels 100% “you”?
If you’re dreaming of a unique theme, want your decor to reflect a special story, or simply love being hands-on with design, custom decor might be the most fulfilling path. If, however, you want something beautiful, on-trend, and stress-free? Pre-designed will have you breathing a happy sigh of relief.
