The old mill districts have narrow streets and limited parking, so for anything large agree access before the day. Elsewhere driving is easy and the town is small enough that any landmark works.
In the old mill districts, measure the stairwell and the doorway before agreeing to anything large. Those buildings were not built for modern furniture and it is the commonest reason a collection falls through.
Cambridge, in Ontario, has around 140,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
