Venue Rental Info
Known for amazing food, Italian hospitality, and a beautiful, large ballroom, the Italo-Canadian Club is a not-for-profit cultural club and events space located in Kingston, ON. We believe events can be possible at any budget and have been holding exceptional events for over 60 years. Our club was originally built by the Italian community back in 1963 and has evolved over the years to meet the needs of our clients. Though we specialize in Italian cuisine, our chef has created a variety of menus to suit all occasions and budgets, and we will work with any dietary restrictions or menu requests you may have.

How much is the deposit and is it refundable?We ask for a deposit in the amount of the venue rental package you select, or $1000. Ex. If you select our half day Saletta venue rental package, the rental fee is $585, therefore the deposit if $585. If you are holding a wedding, the rental fee starts at $2950, so the deposit is $1000. Deposits are non-refundable, however in some cases, the deposit can be transferred to an alternative date or used for an alternative event/food order if enough notice is given.

How does the bar work?We are a licensed establishment with our own stocked bar and bartenders. We do not allow outside alcohol to be brought in, with the exception of homemade wine. (If you bring in homemade wine, you will need to purchase a Special Occasion Permit and there is a corkage fee per bottle.) When it comes to running the bar, there are countless options: cash bar, open bar tab, flat rate per person, drink tickets, you name it! As we are the ones stocking the bar, all bar sales made are those of the Italo-Canadian Club of Kingston.
