Our Story
Shahrayar is the fictional
King of Kings from the infamous Medieval Middle
Eastern story of One Thousand and One Nights. In the story,
he was a spurned king, who was transformed by the power of
storytelling over 1,001 nights by his wife and Persian queen
Scheherazade. Through her stories, he was saved from
desolation to not only grow wiser and more trusting, but to
learn to love again.
To us, Shahrayar is the embodiment of the magic of
storytelling. Shahrayar, which also means
"holder of a kingdom" in Persian, is the spirit of
our banquet hall.
Within the walls of our hall, you can create your own
kingdom, wherein
your own story of love, triumph and success unfolds...
About Shahrayar Banquet Hall
Shahrayar's newly renovated 10,000 square foot hall is designed as a space to hold 350 guests and serve all types of events, from weddings to live music, seminars to corporate talks. Located
in a stand-alone building in the heart of Mississauga, on
the shore of Lake Ontario, it makes for the perfect vibrant
green backdrop to your special occasion.
Envisioned as a haven to create your most precious memories,
Shahrayar has a whimsical elegant charm, with warm light
gold wall sconces adorning upscaled paneled walls, embracing
the deep ash grey wood parquet flooring fit for the grandest
of events. A bouquet of ornate crystal chandeliers glisten
above the gold-trimmed white and grey accented Italian
Carrera marble dance floor. An off-set navy blue and gold
highlighted art deco corner bar invites guests to grab a
drink and be merry, while Shahrayar's in-house catering
cooks up a feast as impressive as its' events.
Architecturally designed with privacy, intimacy and
connection at the heart of the hall-the high ceilings and
integrated technological system allows for the reverberation
of the perfect auditive experience - whether that is to
party hard or give a talk, ensuring everyone is connected
visually, audially and emotionally.
The backdrop of the space is set at the front and center of
the hall to draw the attention of guests to hosts-of-honor.
Bride and grooms can have their bridal party table adorned
in their design of choice, birthday parties and baby showers
can showcase their design 'piece de resistance', while a
stage can be installed for live music, seminars and talks.
The warm, elegant ambience of the hall balances just the
right amount of versatility that allows for designs of both
grandeur and understated backdrops depending on the type of
event hosted. It is made as a canvas to allow any client's
vision to come to life.
