For information regarding use of our venue and other important details related to your booking, please utilize the below links and resources for assistance in planning an event at Cecil Green Park House.

Venue Use Package

Please take a moment to review our Venue Use Package. This is a large document but includes almost everything you need to know for the venue to ensure you do not lose your damage deposit, please ensure you read each line item.

You will find useful information to help with planning décor and coordinating with outside vendors. We also have a list of our available furniture and rental items with images included.

Baraat Procession Guide

If you are hosting a baraat for your entrance to the venue we have outlined the only route that this is possible without going through the neighbouring Green College. This area is also more scenic and follows a path through the lush greenery that surrounds Cecil Green Park House.

The road access to Cecil Green Park House is for loading and unloading only and is not to be used for any processionals or guest exit at the end of the night.

See this photo for an image description of where to gather and which way to proceed to the house from the parking lot. Feel free to add this to your self guided rehearsal, noted below, so you’re familiar with the path.

Vehicle or Animal Use in Baraat must have path approved in advance in writing from your event manager.

  • We ask that you do not have the horse or members of the Baraat congregate next to the Green College Residences, see above image link for approved congregation point.
  • Someone must be onsite to manage and remove all manure

Student Ambassador

DOES: Your student ambassador is on site to assist you with all things venue. They’ll ensure all the Cecil Green Park House rentals (not external rentals) are setup as per your finalized floorplan.
They will assist if you decide on the day you need more or less tables + chairs, help with your venue rented AV, and any access issues (locked doors, dim lights, etc).

DOES NOT: Setup, or move any external rental items. Manage or assist with room flips, coordinate with vendors, setup decor, or manage your timeline. These are all items a day-of event coordinator, or planner would do. We have a list of great event planning companies, recommended by our previous couples, on our preferred vendor list.

Self-Guided Wedding Rehearsal

Let us know if and when you would like to book your complimentary one hour self-guided wedding rehearsal. You can view our current availability on our online calendar. There will be no Cecil Green Park House staff on site for rehearsals, but we do leave the doors unlocked for you to use the space. Our custodial team locks up afterwards.

Please note we will hold your requested date and time and confirm two weeks prior to allow for paid event bookings. If an event booking does occur, we will need to reschedule your rehearsal. For more information on self-guided wedding rehearsals, please consult this document.
