Oak View Group and Liberty Entertainment Group announced the launch of their joint venture, Liberty Oak View Entertainment (LOVE). The new company will provide innovative, full-service hospitality and catering solutions to sports, entertainment, and event venues across Canada. Launched at Rogers Stadium in June, the partnership marks the start of a broader effort to enhance hospitality experiences nationwide.
The collaboration combines Liberty Entertainment Group’s deep regional insight and expertise with Oak View Group’s global operational capacity to deliver locally inspired culinary programming, dynamic beverage offerings, and service that exudes creativity, compassion, and a “wow” factor. The company will be managed by Ken Gaber, president, OVG Hospitality, and Luca Di Donato, vice president, Liberty Entertainment Group, overseeing all aspects of the partnership and ensuring it maximizes its potential.
“Bringing world-class hospitality to life takes the right partners and a shared vision, and that’s exactly what we’ve found with Liberty Entertainment Group,” said Gaber. “Following a successful launch at the incredible Rogers Stadium, we’re excited to build on this momentum and transform the guest experience across Canada at every touchpoint, from arrival to encore.”
Food and beverage hospitality at Rogers Stadium provided a range of immersive hospitality options, from high-volume concessions to curated suites, restaurants and club spaces fully tailored to accommodate diverse palates and interests. In addition to their joint efforts and future collaborations, Oak View Group and Liberty Entertainment Group will continue to operate existing projects independently.
“This partnership marks an exciting chapter for hospitality in Canada,” said Di Donato. “Together with Oak View Group, we are poised to bring big, exciting and revolutionary ideas to Canada. Our shared commitment to excellence, innovation, and guest satisfaction will be the foundation of everything we do.”
