The St. Matthews Centre

The St. Matthews Centre gives couples the rare freedom to choose between a truly grand ceremony and something wonderfully intimate without leaving the character of the same historic Kitchener building.

For a large wedding, the Sanctuary offers more than 6,500 square feet of space and seating for approximately 475 people in the pews, with room for additional chairs. High ceilings, a stage and the atmosphere of the former church create the kind of entrance that naturally carries a sense of occasion.

Couples planning something smaller can choose the chapel, where roughly 40 to 80 guests can gather in a space full of character. Other rooms throughout the Centre can support receptions and gatherings, including halls with kitchens and flexible layouts.

Music can become a particularly beautiful part of a ceremony here. Piano, organ and other audiovisual options are available, allowing couples to make the sound of the room as meaningful as the way it looks.

The building also offers a central courtyard and several smaller spaces that can become useful around the wedding, from preparation to quiet moments away from the crowd.

For couples who value history, architecture and the ability to shape a wedding around their own guest list, St. Matthews offers a remarkably versatile place to gather.
