Our Spaces

GrandWay Hall

LOCATION: THE GRANDWAY EVENT CENTRE

• 200 GUESTS*
• OUTDOOR PATIO SPACE
• DIVIDABLE ROOM

Built in 2020, the 3,800-square-foot hall is one of the largest event spaces in Centre Wellington, accommodating up to 200 guests. If this is more than you need, we can divide the room into a split of 80 and 64 people – or just use the whole room and make the dance floor larger!

Large windows look out onto the 53-acre property and a beautiful partially covered patio space, perfect for a cocktail hour or an outdoor ceremony. A neutral colour palette embraces a rustic yet elegant style, allowing you to put your personal touch on the space.

The GrandWay Hall can be used in conjunction with our grounds for an outdoor ceremony or the River Room as an indoor alternative.

*Room capacity is dependent on room configuration. Connect with an Events and Experiences Coordinator to discuss the best options.

The River Room shows you that an event doesn’t have to be big to be ‘Grand’. Located in the new GrandWay Event Centre it provides an ideal venue for a corporate function.

Facing away from the track, the River Room is smaller than the GrandWay Hall but has all the same finishings and access to all the same amenities, such as A/V set up, customized room configurations, and its own private patio space.
