About 10,000 sq ft in seven rooms
Meetings, weddings and groups
A chapel turned event room, a courtyard of Dutch elms for ceremonies, and training led by Ktunaxa Elders.
St. Eugene hosts weddings, retreats, tour groups and corporate training as well as overnight guests. Its event spaces are partly in the old Mission Building: the Chief David Room was the school's chapel. This page lists what the resort publishes, including the places where its own pages disagree.
Event rooms and capacities
The resort offers about 10,000 square feet of space in seven event rooms, with 82-inch LED screens, microphones, speakers, podiums and Wi-Fi. Several rooms are named after the bands that own the resort.
| Room | Sq ft | Dining | Theatre | Classroom | Reception |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chief David (former chapel) | 1,021 | 72 | 100 | 45 | 100 |
| St. Mary's | 761 | 56 | 60 | 30 | 60 |
| Shuswap | 791 | 48 | 60 | 30 | 60 |
| Lower Kootenay | 755 | 48 | 60 | 30 | 60 |
| Columbia Lake | 757 | 48 | 60 | 30 | 60 |
| Tobacco Plains | 497 | 22 | 48 | n/a | 48 |
| St. Eugene Pavilion | 5,400 | 250 | n/a | n/a | 350 (concerts 500) |
The Pavilion is described two ways. The meetings page calls it an outdoor tent space that can be booked from April to November. The weddings page calls it a 5,400 square foot banquet structure with vaulted ceilings, chandeliers, gable windows and a dance floor, seating 200 for dinner rather than 250. Confirm the season and the dinner capacity with the resort before you plan around it.
Weddings
Ceremonies can be held outdoors in the courtyard of the Mission Building, on a cobblestone aisle lined with Dutch elms and gardens, or along the St. Mary River. Indoors, the Pavilion, the Chief David Room and the St. Mary Room take receptions. The St. Mary Room has large Provençal windows over the golf course, and the Chief David Room adds a terrace and a portable dance floor. The in-house events and catering team handles planning, the executive chef works with couples on the menu, and the resort can arrange an officiant. Guests get group rates for stays before and after the wedding. The resort also mentions concessions for non-traditional days and shoulder-season events.
Indigenous Culture Awareness Training
The resort runs corporate training led by Ktunaxa knowledge holders and Elders, for groups of about 6 to 24. Modules include an introduction to Indigenous history and the effects of colonisation, the Indian Act and residential schools. Groups can add a Blanket Exercise led by a Kairos facilitator and a tour of the Interpretive Centre and the former school, with the documentary Survivors of the Red Brick School. There are also tipi raising, traditional games, craft classes and storytelling. Meals at Numa are extra.
Tour groups
For coach groups, the resort lists free parking for cars and buses with 24-hour security, porterage, and group room rates. Groups can use the casino, the Interpretive Centre and the Health Club, and Numa caters meals at extra cost. It will also arrange outings in the area.
