Venue 1906 hosts weddings, micro weddings, corporate meetings, workshops, retreats and private parties for up to 140 guests. It occupies a restored heritage church on Victoria Avenue in downtown Belleville, Ontario, about two hours east of Toronto and a short drive from Prince Edward County.
Seminars and company events
For business use the venue lists corporate meetings, workshops, retreats, holiday parties, fundraisers, galas and networking receptions. A full-day booking gives access to the whole building. The equipment includes a projector screen and a sound system, and the church pews can be moved to free the floor or to seat an audience in rows. Tables and chairs are available for up to 140 people, and a kitchen preparation space supports a caterer. Bar service can run as a cash bar, a ticketed bar or an open bar. Bookings are offered by the hour or for a full day, with limited availability on Sundays.
Weddings and receptions
The ceremony and the reception take place in the same room, which the team turns over between the two; the top package includes a full flip. Packages include tables, chairs, linens and dinnerware, setup and teardown, wine on the tables, and bar service that ranges from a cash bar with one bartender to an open bar with three bartenders and a cocktail lounge bar. An on-site bridal suite comes with every wedding. Outside, a front lawn and gardens serve for photos. Micro weddings of up to 40 guests come in three formats: ceremony only for four hours, ceremony with a standing reception for six hours, and ceremony with a seated reception for eight hours, each with a getting-ready suite and an arch or pillars.
Rooms and capacities
The main hall is the former sanctuary, with stained glass windows, organ pipes and a high wood-beam ceiling. It holds up to 140 guests for a ceremony and reception, with layouts arranged to the event. The building also has the bridal or getting-ready suite, a cocktail lounge and the kitchen preparation space.
Catering
The site describes bar service in detail but does not publish a catering menu. The kitchen preparation space is there for the caterer, so organisers should confirm with the team which caterers can work in the building and what the kitchen allows.
History and setting
The church dates from 1906, which gives the venue its name, and the building has served its community for about 120 years. The restoration kept the stained glass, the wood beams and the organ. As an event venue it serves Belleville, Trenton, Prince Edward County, Kingston, Brighton and nearby towns, and it also accepts applications for community events.
Getting there
The address is 34 Victoria Avenue, Belleville, Ontario. Belleville is on Highway 401 between Toronto and Kingston, and its VIA Rail station is on the corridor that links Toronto with Ottawa and Montreal.
