Wedding FAQs

We recognize the significant amount of time, effort and coordination involved in planning a wedding. To assist the planning of your special day, we have compiled a list of wedding related questions that are most frequently asked of the Sarnia Golf and Curling Club.

Do I need to be a member to have my wedding at the Sarnia Golf and Curling Club?
In order to have your wedding at the Sarnia Golf & Curling Club, you may choose to become a Social Member for an affordable annual fee, or you can be "sponsored" into the club by one of our existing members. A Social Membership will give you the opportunity to experience our exquisite in-house dining venues and special events throughout the year. If you do not know an existing member, please inquire how we can assist you.
Do you offer personalized menus?
Personalized menus are our specialty. Executive Chef Steven Sinclair and Event Coordinator Janet Belak will work with you in designing a menu to suit your taste, preference and budget.
What is the capacity of the various banquet rooms?
There are four rooms available to you at the Sarnia Golf & Curling Club. The Ambassador Room is perfect for intimate gatherings, seating 50 comfortably and up to 100 for cocktail style. The Curling Lounge is ideal for both a cocktail reception or a seated dinner, seating 100 and up to 150 for a stand-up reception. The Fairway Ballroom has the best view overlooking the beautiful scenic views of the golf course. This room allows for 300 people in a cocktail reception and up to 220 for a seated dinner.
