Capacity:
- Tote Room can have up to 160 people seated, more for cocktail/standing.
- The Society Deck, an outdoor deck overlooking the racecourse, is available for cocktail style weddings – capacity for 150 people standing.
Reasons I love this venue:
- CHARACTER is the biggest reason I love this venue. You have the race track right beside you, and a 150-year old building rich with history to house your reception. It’s unique, and fun, and beautiful.
- The huge fig tree next to the Tote Room where ceremonies can be held is absolutely gorgeous. Guests canapes are held on the deck of the Tote Room right next to the tree - a beautiful outdoor atmosphere. (Watch canapes from 5:16 in the video above).
- Food is great.
- Staff are great.
- Free car parking on site is a huge bonus.
- Convenient location.
- The Tote Room is beautiful from a wedding videographer’s point of view… the lighting, the exposed brick, the ability to film from the balcony level overlooking the reception. (See intro of video above).
- Photo / video shoot locations around the track are gorgeous. Old trees, beautiful architecture, brick walls, an archway covered in vines, and of course the grandstand and race track.
