Social Events

The St. Elias Centre is an ideal venue for large or small gatherings - to celebrate a baptism, first communion, a graduation, an engagement, or simply to party with friends or family or to host a reception for visiting dignitaries.

Room and Floor Plan

From the size of your guest list, the manager suggests an appropriate configuration of the hall in the St. Elias Centre (one room or both rooms with suitable partitions to provide a space that is optimally sized for your gathering) or he may suggest use of the Cathedral hall. He will also generate a floor plan.

Food and Beverage Selection

The St. Elias Centre sets up and dresses the tables in accordance with your instructions, prepares the food and serves the food and beverages. It provides a podium and public address system if required.
