The Chanterelle

The Chanterelle gives a Thunder Bay wedding the feeling of celebrating inside a piece of the city's history without giving up modern elegance.

Built in 1885, the Park Avenue building began as a wholesale and retail dry-goods space before being transformed into a 5,000-plus-square-foot event venue.

The old character still matters.

Exposed brick.

Original hardwood.

Tall architectural windows.

Then crystal chandeliers and custom leather details bring the room firmly into the present.

The Ballroom welcomes up to around 180 guests for a seated dinner or 200 cocktail-style, while The Lounge offers a more intimate setting for up to 48 seated guests or 50 cocktail-style.

That gives couples room to decide whether the wedding should feel grand or close-knit.

Food is prepared on site through the venue's exclusive catering partner, while the event team supports coordination around the celebration.

Then evening arrives.

The brick walls warm under the lights.

Dinner becomes speeches.

And the historic floor gets exactly what a wedding wants from it.

Dancing.

For couples who want Thunder Bay history with atmosphere and elegance, The Chanterelle offers a room that already knows how to make an entrance.
