What this place is

One good room on sixty acres, ten minutes out of Steinbach. No packages, no caterer you have to use, and no hourly clock running while your family sets up the tables.

Most halls this size are attached to a hotel or a golf course and price accordingly. This one is a building in a field, run by the family that owns it. That is the whole difference, and it shows up in the invoice.

An outdoor ceremony the forecast cannot cancel

A roofed, lattice-sided gazebo on a cedar deck, strung with warm bulbs. It means an outdoor ceremony that does not get called off at noon because of the forecast — at minimum the wedding party stays dry.

It is included with the hall. There is no extra charge for it and no separate ceremony fee.

Included, not extra

The things other halls charge you for

  • The whole building, 7 AM to midnight — not a block inside someone else's day
  • Tables and chairs for up to 200
  • Dishes and cutlery
  • Full kitchen: two fridges, stove, microwave, and a commercial dishwasher that runs a two-minute wash and rinse
  • Coffee maker and serving thermos
  • The 12 × 28 gazebo for an outdoor ceremony
  • On-site parking, overnight included, at no charge

Cleaning is the one thing that is not. Leave the hall as you found it, or add it for $250 and we do the floors, the kitchen and the washrooms the morning after.

Pricing, published

The hall rate, in public, where it belongs

Almost no venue in this province puts a number on a page. Here is ours. One rate buys the whole building from 7 AM to midnight — no half days, no hourly blocks, no clock running while your family carries tables.

  • Weekday, Monday to Thursday

    The whole building, 7 AM to midnight, for five hundred dollars. Seminars, fowl suppers, showers, funeral lunches, reunions and AGMs all book this one.

    $500

  • Friday or Sunday

    The same hall and the same hours as a Saturday, two hundred and fifty dollars less. Sunday afternoons get the west light off the field.

    $1,000

  • Saturday

    7 AM to midnight on the busiest day of the week. Room for 200, with 180 sitting down comfortably for a plated supper.

    $1,250

  • The whole weekend, Friday to Sunday

    Three full days for the price of two, and the late hours on Saturday night cost nothing. Decorate Friday, get married Saturday, load out Sunday in daylight instead of at one in the morning.

    $2,500

CAD, before 5% GST. The bar, the stage, the AV and the rest are on the pricing page.

Before you ring

The seven things everyone asks

How many people does the hall hold?

Two hundred standing or at a buffet. One hundred and eighty is the number we give for a plated supper with a dance floor, because that is what actually sits comfortably once the head table and the floor are in.

What comes with the hall?

The whole building from 7 AM to midnight. Tables, chairs, dishes and cutlery for the full room, the kitchen, and the gazebo for an outdoor ceremony. Parking is on site, free, and overnight is fine if people would rather leave the cars.

Do you set the room up or decorate it?

No, and we do not rent decor either. You get the building, the tables and chairs and the kitchen, and you dress it however you like. We will point you at the people who do it for a living — Let's Celebrate Rentals at letscelebraterentals.com is the usual first call.

Can we bring our own food and our own caterer?

Yes, and most people do. There is no in-house catering and no requirement to use a list. The kitchen is handed over to whoever you bring, family included. Anna's All Occasions knows the room well if you want somebody who has cooked in it before.

Do we need a liquor permit?

If you are serving alcohol, yes — a Social Occasion Liquor Permit from the LGCA, which you apply for yourself at mylgca.ca. Apply at least four weeks ahead. Which type you need depends on whether you are selling drinks or serving them free.

What does it cost to hold a date?

A $500 damage deposit books the date. It comes back within two to three weeks after the event if the building is undamaged. The balance is due one week before.

How far is it from Winnipeg?

About forty-five minutes from south Winnipeg, and ten from Steinbach. It is a straight run on good road, and the parking is not tight — which is most of why people drive out here rather than fight for a downtown loading zone.
