About

The GrandWay is a modern-rustic wedding venue, located in Elora, Ontario. It is conveniently located near Fergus, Guelph, Cambridge, and Orangeville. Nestled near the idyllic Grand River, surrounded by winding forests spanning 53-acres. Owned and operated by the Grand River Agricultural Society (GRAS), the hall is part of the vibrant rural Centre Wellington community and provides versatile event spaces.

Facilities and Capacity

The rooms throughout The GrandWay can accommodate both small and large gatherings. In The GrandWay Hall, up to 250 individuals can celebrate a couple’s love and commitment. This dividable space, in addition to the banquet hall, has an outdoor patio attached to it, perfect for outdoor cocktail parties. Its rustic, yet modern style is well suited to host a variety of wedding types. For smaller wedding groups, we have the River Room which is similarly styled to The GrandWay Hall, but creates a more intimate experience, accommodating up to 50 guests. To-be-weds can begin their day by getting ready in the bridal suite provided by the venue. The wedding party can take their time and celebrate with all the essential amenities at their fingertips.

Services Offered

A team of Wedding/Event Coordinators will work hard to make your vision for your wedding a reality! Catering services are also provided at the venue, by chefs with over 30 years of experience. They will craft a menu that will delight your palate. Food options can range from appetizers to desserts, creating a complete culinary experience. They will take care of any dietary restrictions for you and/or your guests. Your meal can be served plated, buffet-style, or as a cocktail reception. Our wedding packages encompass decor, audiovisual equipment, and rentals for your day (discuss details with your Wedding Coordinator). The team can also work with outside vendors if needed.

Attended a luncheon theatre event-Sweet Delilah Swim Club

Took place on a very bad weather day and as driving from an hour away, was concerned about being able to make it Phoned the venue the day before to see if we (3) had any options. A very lovely person assured us that we could change our tickets for another day if necessary. I was very surprised to hear this. She even called me the next day to see what we had decided. We decided to try and make it and we so glad we did. Everything from the wonderful play, the amazing food, and the supper pleasant and obliging staff were top notch. We recommended the venue to all our friends and relatives as one of the best experiences we’ve had! Can’t wait to attend another event there!!!

This was the most amazing experience

The GrandWay was absolutely amazing and accommodating. They let me pay through a payment plan which really came in handy. They were more than willing to handle any changes I had thrown at them and we are so happy that we decided to have our wedding there. The food was absolutely amazing as well.
