House of ECP Takes Over Darling Mansion for a One Night Celebration of Toronto Hospitality

Toronto’s food and hospitality scene is getting a new experience this September. Evelyn Chick Projects is presenting House of ECP, a one night takeover of Darling Mansion.

The event will celebrate the evolution of Evelyn Chick Projects into ECP Hospitality. Guests can expect an evening filled with progressive food, new drinks, live music and unique experiences.

House of ECP will take place on Wednesday, September 9, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. The event will be held at Darling Mansion, located at 224 Dovercourt Road in Toronto.

What to Expect at House of ECP

House of ECP will turn Darling Mansion into an immersive hospitality experience. Guests will explore the venue room by room. Each space will offer something different throughout the evening.

For example, guests can expect tailored bites and new drinks. Live music will also add to the atmosphere. Meanwhile, the room by room format will encourage guests to discover something new as they move through the mansion.

The event will include:

• Progressive food experiences
• Tailored bites
• New drinks
• Live music
• Room by room experiences
• A celebration of ECP Hospitality
