Richmond Hill Golf Club

The Richvale Room has a vaulted ceiling, a 60-foot wall of windows and a dance floor.

About the venue

The room is used for wedding receptions, showers, engagement and retirement parties, holiday parties and corporate meetings. Meeting equipment includes wireless internet, audio-visual presentation gear and conference-call setup. The club hosts corporate and charity golf tournaments. A cart path links the club to the neighbouring Richmond Hill Country Club, and some events use both.

On EventPlans.ca it is listed as a golf club and banquet hall in Richmond Hill, at 8755 Bathurst Street, Richmond Hill, ON L4C 0H4.

Event spaces

The venue lists these spaces. Capacities are the venue’s own figures and change with the layout you choose.

• Richvale Room: up to 180 guests per the room page (200 per the events page), divides into two with a partition wall
• Outdoor Marquee Tent: up to 80 guests
• 19th Hole Lounge: 40 seated indoors, upper patio seats 28

Capacity

The venue does not publish a single maximum for every room, so ask for the capacity of the specific space in the layout you want: seated dinner, standing reception, theatre or classroom.

A useful rule: a seated dinner at rounds of ten needs about 1 to 1.2 square metres per guest, a standing reception about 0.7, and theatre seating about 0.6, before you add a stage or dance floor. The venue capacity calculator does the arithmetic for your room.

Events it hosts

According to its own event pages, the venue hosts weddings, corporate events, holiday parties and private social events.

For timelines, budgets and checklists, start with the wedding planning hub, corporate holiday party hub, holiday party hub.

Questions to ask on your site visit

Bring these to your walk-through. Get the answers in writing before you sign.

• Can the ceremony or reception overlap with golfers on the course, and what can guests see from the terrace?
• Is a membership or member sponsor needed to book?
• What is the rain plan for an outdoor ceremony?
• Are photos allowed on the course, and at what times?
• What time does the clubhouse close for private events?
• Is there a minimum guest count on weekends?

Planning entertainment here

Clubhouse dining rooms often have lower ceilings, so plan for floor-level acts: magicians, musicians and caricaturists. A patio can take roaming acts during cocktails.

Send every performer’s technical needs to the venue before you book: floor space, ceiling height, power, sound and changing room.

Getting there

Check the venue website for directions, parking rates and accessible entrances, and send the details to guests with the invitation.
