Lumen Hall Burlington · three rooms · 40–240

Lumen Hall · Burlington, Ontario

Every event begins as a number and a date.

So start there. Tell the hall how many people are coming, when, and what kind of night it is — and the rooms answer back: which ones hold it, how the floor lays out, what it costs, and how the day runs.

Tell the hall about your event

We're expecting guests on for a

126 guests at a seated dinner. Two of the three rooms take that, and the Garden Room still leaves floor for dancing.

  • The Garden Room Fits · seats 180
  • The Gallery Tight · seats 130
  • The Loft 36 over · seats 90
  • Full House Fits · seats 240

Nothing here is submitted or held. Lumen Hall is an ArrowSpade interface concept — every room, price and calendar entry is invented.

To scale

Three rooms, drawn against each other.

Venue sites list capacities. Almost none of them show you the difference between a room that seats ninety and one that seats a hundred and eighty — so here are all three footprints at the same scale, with the Loft exactly the size it actually is.

The Garden Room The Gallery The Loft 26 × 16 m · 416 m² · up to 180 20 × 13 m · 260 m² · up to 120 17 × 11 m · 187 m² · up to 90 10 m

The dimensions are invented for this concept — but the drawing is true to them, and so is every plan further down the page.

Rooms & plans

Watch the floor redraw.

A scale plan, not a mood board. Change the room, the layout or the guest count and the floor is set again at 1.8 m rounds, 3.1 m table pitch and a metre of clearance off every wall — the same arithmetic a venue does on paper before it says yes.

Dates

The calendar moves the price.

A Saturday in season carries the full room hire. Friday saves 15%, Sunday 20%, a weekday a third — and November to April takes another 20% off whatever day you land on. Choose a square and the estimate below follows it.

Estimate

Priced line by line, while you decide.

No "packages from", and no form to fill in before a number appears. Every line on the right is one you can change on the left, and the receipt re-adds itself the moment you do.

Food and drink
How long you have the room
8 hours

Eight hours are inside the hire. Past that it is $450 an hour, and the outdoor curfew stays at 11:00 PM whatever you book.

Add to the day

The day

And this is how it actually runs.

An eight-hour wedding from 3:00 PM. The room closes at 11:00 PM.

  1. 1:00 PM

    Suppliers in

    Florists, band and cake through the loading bay. Not counted against your hours.

  2. 3:00 PM

    Doors — guests arrive

    Drinks on the terrace while the room is still set for the ceremony.

  3. 3:30 PM

    Ceremony

    Rows in, aisle down the centre, half an hour with the doors shut.

  4. 4:15 PM

    Canapés and photographs

    Guests move outside. The floor team turns the room behind them.

  5. 5:45 PM

    Dinner

    Rounds of ten, three courses, service paced around the speeches.

  6. 8:15 PM

    Floor opens

    Tables edged back, lighting drops, dance floor and late bar.

  7. 10:30 PM

    Last call

    Outdoor music already off — the terrace curfew is 11:00 PM year round.

  8. 11:00 PM

    Carriages

    Room closed. Gifts and hire items collected before noon the next day.

The run sheet is generated from the format, hours and start time chosen above. It illustrates how a day of this shape tends to fall — it is not a commitment, and no coordinator has seen it.

The building

The unglamorous half, written down.

The part most venue sites leave to a phone call. Invented for this concept — but this is the level of detail a planning page should carry.

Send the brief

Everything you just chose, on one page.

A real venue would receive this as a structured brief rather than a paragraph, and answer with a held date instead of a callback. Here it stops at the summary — nothing is sent anywhere.
