Kensington Community Hall

Good little venue from small to medium party.Adequate parking for the guest and kitchen is good if you want to cook in the hall for your event.

Based on the info found on their website, I was impressed with what was offered at the hall. They have a spray park and playground adjacent to the hall, and the hall itself looks quaint and beautiful.

Pretty Hall - lots of character, but rent carefully, insist on a walk through, test all paper towel dispensers and beware of fruit flies.We rented this hall for our wedding last weekend. At first the gentleman helping us was very helpful. However, when the time of the rental came, there were some issues. When I met Jeff to get the deposit back, there were charges due to “extra clean up” despite receiving an email saying “everything was fine with the hall”We got the keys on the Thursday night, and I will admit due to over scheduling I was late to pick them up. I will own that. When I got there, there was no walkthrough done, just a book that I was told to follow to a T to get my deposit back.We followed all of the clean up to a t according to the book. My dad, who has been cooking professionally for over 20 years, helped clean the kitchen and noticed that part of the dishwasher has not been cleaned in a long time, so he cleaned it. He also noticed one of the mats in the kitchen was wet underneath with soapy water from renters not waiting for the floor to dry before putting the mat back. He took the mat out in the sun to dry and we moped the floor.Secondly, the paper towel dispenser in the mens washroom was never functioning properly. Everytime that it was used, the top fell down and it opened. So eventually, one of our wedding guests just took the paper towelout and put it on the counter. I was not aware of this until after our conversation with Jeff as one of our wedding guests told my husband and not me about it. We were charged for damaging the paper towel holder even though it never worked in the first place.Third, in the cleaning book that I was told not to deviate from, there were very old photos. In the photo of the storage room, the tables were stacked on top of each other. On the cart, there was a note to stack the chairs sideways. Since I was told NOT to deviate from the book, i followed what the book said and stacked them on top of each other. The took part of the deposit for that.Fourth, the place was crawling with fruit flies from the moment we started moving stuff in. I did not want a side of fruit flies in my wine with dinner.Fifth, some of the plates were put into the wrong cupboard and we were charged for them having to put them into a different cupboard.We left the place spotless, and in better condition than when we rented, and still were charged against our deposit. Some of the things we were charged for were minute things that I could have fixed if they called me and asked me to come fix them. Instead, i get an email saying “everything was fine with the hall” only to arrive to the hall and be charged.Advice to the hall: Update your cleaning binder, maybe your renters would have a better time understanding what you expect from them.A damage deposit is for damage, it is NOT for restacking tables and moving plates.Rent with caution. Don’t blindly trust them.

A little hidden gem. I would definitely rent it for an event.

Wasn't super busy, the Waterpark was a blast and the kids had fun playing in the sanded park beside the water park. Lots of places to sit in the shade.

Bathroom is barely accessible but it's got a good ramp on entrance and exit.

We had our wedding reception at this hall and had booked it for the entire weekend (September 30-October 2). We received the keys at 8AM on the Friday. We were given a walk through as well so we knew where everything was and what can/cannot be done when decorating. Everything we needed to know from what needed to be done for cleaning up to examples of how the hall was previously decorated were included in the guidebook they provided. They came by later in the day to make sure we weren't having any issues. The management group even congratulated us in the form of a letter that was provided to my best man and read at the reception. This was an unexpected, yet very nice surprise. The hall fit roughly a hundred people comfortably with space to spare for a dance floor and table for the food on one side. We received our deposit in the afternoon the following Monday as promised. We definitely recommend this place!

This was the perfect location for our wedding. We had the ceremony and reception all here. Part of our menu was BBQ steaks, and the BBQ the hall supplied was big and worked amazing. From start to finish Jeff was amazing to work with, and the clean up binder made getting our damage deposit back a breeze. Will book here again

What an awesome hall. Clean, beautiful, and spacious, the kitchen is super nice and well equip. I'm a guest so I dont know the rental cost.

Excellent accessibility. Commercial kitchen. Very clean and cozy. Has an unobtrusive stage and modern lighting.
