The Nashwaaksis Lions Club

Some of the best wedding receptions happen in community halls, where the room is simple, the welcome is genuine and the night belongs to the people in it.

The Nashwaaksis Lions Community Centre sits near Fredericton, and the Nashwaaksis Lions Club rents its hall for weddings, parties and other large events.

Couples can rent the Main Hall on its own, or the Main Hall together with the kitchen, depending on how they plan to handle food for the day.

Hall rentals include bar service with bartenders, a door person and janitorial services, which takes several practical pieces off a couple's list.

Preparation time before an event is part of the arrangement, giving family and friends a chance to set up and decorate the hall before guests arrive.

There is also something meaningful about where the celebration takes place. The Nashwaaksis Lions Club was formed in 1966, and hall rentals are one of the ways it raises money for community programs and local causes.

Rentals are arranged directly with the club, which accepts applications online as well as by phone and email.

For couples who want a straightforward hall, a bar that is looked after and a celebration that also supports the community, the Nashwaaksis Lions Club offers a welcoming place to gather.
