Maclaren Art Centre

Gorgeous Venue With its high ceilings, natural light and beautiful windows, the impressive Carnegie Room provides the perfect elegant backdrop for wedding ceremonies and receptions. Professional Service With over a decade of event management experience, our staff works closely with you to meet your expectations. Community Support The MacLaren Art Centre is a registered charity and by booking with us you are making a difference in your community and helping ensure the arts in Barrie continue to thrive. The Massie Family Courtyard In warmer months, you may have the option of using our beautiful, garden courtyard for your wedding ceremony. This intimate outdoor space accommodates up to 100 guests seated in our sleek white chairs. If you are expecting more than 100 guests we will reduce the number of chairs set out to accommodate more standing room. After the wedding ceremony, the chairs are removed and bistro tables and chairs can be set up to invite your guests to use the space all evening long. Harris Hall With access to our garden courtyard and the Gallery Café, the MacLaren’s attractive main lobby is ideal for wedding cocktail parties. With space for up to 150 guests, bistro tables and chairs, a welcoming fireplace and exposed brick, Harris Hall is the perfect gathering place for a cocktail-style evening. The Carnegie Room Our Carnegie Room, a transformed 1917 Carnegie Library, is an inviting architectural gem with magnificent windows and gorgeous brick archway. This space is ideal for up to 150 guests seated or 200 cocktail-style. It can be used for both wedding ceremonies and receptions.
