Hauser Hall combines
atmosphere of romance with old-world architecture and modern décor
on your wedding day |
|
 From the moment that we walked through the door at
Hauser Hall three years ago, we knew local brides would love it. Originally a church built in the 1800's, Hauser Hall is an incredibly romantic
ceremony and reception location nestled in the countryside of
Heidelberg near St. Jacobs. Fully restored by the Hauser family
(you'll likely recognize the name from Hauser Stores), this location
incorporates old-world architecture, modern décor and an element of
high-style romance that you thought you could only dream of for your wedding day.
 Hauser Hall has two floors of beautiful décor
and space for your
ceremony, reception, and dance. From front to back, the hall offers
both natural and contemporary sunken lighting,
cathedral ceilings, and hardwood floors. Once you've toured Hauser Hall in
person, you'll see just how easy it is to fall in love with.
The
history...
This church-style building was acquired
by the Hauser family for use within their family for special functions
such as weddings, baptisms, and holiday get-togethers. Since the
family is spread out throughout
Kitchener-Waterloo, Toronto, and South Africa, they
wanted a place to congregate and celebrate, just as you would do at
your wedding.
When they
purchased the building, it was a furniture factory and needed some
desperate attention. Architect and family member, Drew Hauser,
coordinated the restoration...

Much-anticipated event locale, St. George's Banquet Hall, exceeds
all bridal expectations
at grand opening
|
|
 With
only artist sketches in magazines and sneak peeks through the dust of on-going
construction, local brides have been watching
and waiting over a year for
St. George Banquet Hall
Conference & Events Centre to do the big
reveal of their large newly-built locale. Early in the summer of 2006, the
wait came to an end when St. George Banquet Hall unveiled a luxurious,
palatial ceremony and reception venue that exceeds any expectations, gossip and
rumours may have built up. Designed
for couples planning an elegant, high-class wedding, St. George already has over
forty weddings on their roster.
General Manager, Herbert W. Mitterboeck and staff opened their doors to The Ring
so that we interview and review of this soon-to-be booked-solid event
centre.
 A fixture
of in the community
St. George Banquet
Hall Conference & Events Centre has
been a fixture in North Waterloo for over twenty years. Known for their corporate
clients and high-end events, this locale has always put as much focus on
customer service and even expertise, as any other part of an event centre
business. General Manager Herbert W. Mitterboeck says that the new building is
designed to carry on that tradition by giving people what they want, exceeding their expectations, maintaining a
high reputation, and making sure everyone that goes through their doors does so
wanting to come back. "If we make each event a memorable experience for the
couple and...

how I proposed!
"Hi, there! I'm new to the boards, been reading for a
couple weeks to get ideas and such. And I thought I'd like
to share our story! So, my now-fiance and I did things a
little differently. At Christmas time, he gave me a
beautiful ring, but it was meant to be a promise ring (as he
did not want us to get engaged until after I was done school
next year). Well, after that, I knew exactly where he stood,
and I got it in my head that it would be cool for me to ask
him to marry me. I was supposed to go away for teacher's
college this September so I planned to propose to him my
last night at home. However..."
