Club C Event Centre at Club Castropignano

A wedding at Club C Event Centre feels like a family table stretched just a little longer, with an Italian club's warmth wrapped around a small, personal celebration in Port Colborne.

The club traces its roots to 1972, when a group of immigrants from Castropignano, a tiny village in the Molise region of Italy, gathered to found a social club named in honour of their birthplace. Forty people signed up at that first meeting, and the club has been part of Niagara life for more than four decades since.

Today the club welcomes couples to its new Port Colborne home, built for intimate occasions. Wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners and bridal showers of up to 85 guests can be hosted here.

The traditions the members hold dear, from language and music to food and festivities, shape the hospitality. The club works with each couple on a menu package to suit the celebration and the budget, and an event coordinator helps plan the day from the first call.

For couples who picture a smaller wedding with heritage, good food and the feeling of being among family, Club C Event Centre offers an intimate celebration with a story that began in an Italian hill village.
