The City-run Heritage Centre sits in Amos Wright Park and rents space for small weddings, meetings, showers, photo shoots and private parties.

About the venue

A three-hour wedding permit is available for Amos Wright Park for up to 75 guests. An All Occasions package for 10 to 20 people includes two hours in the Gardenview Room with a Victorian-style buffet tea. Hourly rentals include 15 minutes before and after for setup and cleanup.

On EventPlans.ca it is listed as a unique venue and park or garden in Richmond Hill, at 19 Church Street North, Richmond Hill, ON.

Event spaces

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

• Gardenview Room and Patio: 20 ft by 10 ft, 15 class or conference, 20 theatre (patio May to October)
• Amos Wright Park: weddings and events for up to 75 guests

Capacity

The venue publishes a maximum of 20 theatre style. Those are top figures for an empty room. A dance floor, a stage, a buffet or a photo booth each take space, so plan on fewer guests than the maximum once your layout is drawn.

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 and private social events.
