Wedding FAQ's

Manitoba Club was founded in 1874 on the simple principle of providing the finest food, beverage and service experience in the Province -- we honour that principle to this very day. The club boasts one of the City's finest culinary brigades led by Executive Chef Mickaël Cazemayor. The time and care associated with the procurement, handling and preparation of each ingredient that creates your personalized menu is astonishing. Chef Cazemayor's menu items are steeped in centuries of European culinary heritage and are balanced with progressive gastronomic influences and presentations.

Yes, we can accommodate weddings with both a ceremony and reception or standalone wedding ceremonies. Common locations for these include the Grand Ballroom, Oak Room and the Bonnycastle Garden (on select dates).

The floating dance floor is constructed in advance of each event and can be located anywhere within the Grand Ballroom.

For events in excess of 200 people, the Oak Room can be set-up to accommodate a band or disc jockey to host the dance portion of the event.

Non-commercial (home or on-premises brewed) wine also cannot be consumed within the club due to the provisions of our liquor licence.
