Elgin County Railway Museum is a wedding banquet hall located in St Thomas, Ontario. Offering a distinctive setting for ceremonies, receptions, and other special events, it would suit those seeking an alternative event space to many traditional options. Boasting history, charm, and throwbacks to a bygone era, this industrial and elegant venue has a great deal of alluring appeal.

Facilities and Capacity

In terms of capacity, this venue is large and spacious enough to accommodate gatherings of up to 450 people. As such, it would be ideal for those with lengthy guest lists. Equally, a couple could book the Elgin County Railway Museum for an intimate elopement. The Rolling Stock Gallery hall would suit the ceremony as it is big enough to allow several hundred people to share the milestone moment. Vintage trains, including the 5700 steam engine, create a one-of-a-kind ambience as the happy couple joins hand-in-hand. Here, they can exchange rings, read vows, and begin the first chapter of their married lives. Chairs may be arranged either side of the aisle so that invitees have comfortable seating as the celebration unfolds. Overhead, Edison lights help to add to the magical ambience as they shine across the space. After the couple have been officially pronounced as newlyweds, photo opportunities may be enjoyed around the venue.

For the cocktail reception, the same space may be used. Of course, it can easily be repurposed to suit the newlyweds’ chosen theme. When the time comes for the all-important meal, tables and Chiavari-style chairs can be set out. Speeches, congratulatory toasts, and new memories to last a lifetime can all take place here as the revelries continue into the night.

Services Offered

A variety of event enhancements can be provided, depending on the particular package selected by the clients. The Ceremony Only, Reception Only, and Full Wedding bundles are all available. Some of the features include a podium, signing table, and gift table. To help create a party atmosphere, audio equipment is provided by Elgin County Railway Museum. This would certainly make it easier for entertainers to put on a show for all. Setup and cleanup services are also available.

History

Weddings of all sizes and concepts take place from May to October each year. Perhaps your celebration of love and commitment will be the next one to be hosted here.
