Booking a hall for the reception
is often the first thing a couple does
after choosing their wedding date.
And rightly so, say local resi-
dents who book dates for halls and
arenas in the area.
"I'd recommend booking a year
in advance," says Dave Cook of the
Blyth and District Community
Centre.
Other halls which aren't so busy
can often take bookings three to six
months in advance but first comes,
first served so most advise that as
soon as the wedding date is set,
book the hall.
To help couples choose a hall for
their upcoming wedding, The Citi-
zen has contacted many venues in
the area to find out seating capaci-
ty, catering, rules and cost. The fol-
lowing halls and arenas are listed in
alphabetical order.
Auburn and District Commu-
nity Hall: The Auburn hall is for
people with a small reception. It
seats 120 and holds 170. The local
Women's Institute will cater in the
hall. There are kitchen facilities and
a stage.
Bookees are required to take out
a minimum of $1 million liability
insurance to rent the hall. There are
other stipulations relating to the
Liquor License Act.
Hall rental costs $80. Bookings
are taken by Grace Datema, 526-
7202.
Belgrave Community Centre:
Belgrave is also a small hall seating
120.
If there's to be a bar at the recep-
tion, the hall board requires that the
Belgrave Kinsmen be contacted to
bartend the affair. Cost is $175.
Contact person is Karen Snow,
357-1647.
Bluevale Community Centre:
This hall has both an upstairs and a
downstairs which when combined,
holds 205 people. Both levels must
be in use in order to get a liquor
license.
The hall is usually rented to peo-
ple who don't require catering as it
has a basement kitchen and little
room for tables to be set up.
If there's to be a bar, the hall
requires that two of its recreation
members be bartenders.
Cost is $25 per floor if there isn't
a bar and $150 with a bar, which
includes the two bartenders. Book-
ing are taken by Jeannie Mailers,
357-2340.
Blyth and District Community
Center: The hall on the upper floor
of the facility holds 375.
Bookees must have $1 million in
liability insurance.
Hall rental costs $365 with a bar
and $250 without a bar. For more
information, call the arena at 523-
9600 or 523-9625.
Brussels, Morris and Grey

community centre seats 450 and

ladies catering group for the arena

rules to follow. Rental costs is $350

Centre: The Clinton arena has two
areas where a reception can be
held. One is upstairs, which seats
208, and the other is the arena floor

which dictates the type of security
it must have whether it be off-duty
police officers or adult-supervision.
The upstairs rental fee is $182
and the arena floor is $480. Book-
ings are taken at 482-3398 and 482-

ferent needs. The basic hall rental
