Big news is coming to the Affinity Conference Centre. Starting September 1, 2026, we’re partnering with Bingemans Catering to bring a new level of culinary expertise to every wedding, conference, corporate function, holiday celebration, and social event hosted at our Brantford venue.
This partnership brings together Bingemans’ culinary expertise and more than 80 years of hospitality experience with the versatile event spaces, on-site accommodations, and experienced planning team already in place at Affinity. Together, we’re raising the bar for what a Brantford wedding venue and corporate event venue can offer.
Why This Partnership Matters
Affinity Conference Centre has become one of Brantford’s premier event destinations, and this new catering partnership strengthens exactly what makes us stand out: flexibility, quality, and a seamless guest experience from start to finish.
Bingemans is a recognized leader in entertainment, culinary, and hospitality, known for creating memorable guest experiences across Ontario. As a multi-faceted hospitality company, Bingemans offers catering services, family-friendly attraction experiences, and large-scale event expertise that now extends directly into our 7,800-square-foot banquet hall in Brantford.
“Our team is incredibly excited to expand into the Brantford market and work alongside the talented team at Affinity Conference Centre,” said Mark Bingeman, President of Bingemans. “The Bawa Group shares the same entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to creating exceptional guest experiences that have guided our organization for generations. We look forward to becoming part of the Brantford community and helping clients create memorable events at this outstanding facility.”
What Changes with Bingemans Catering on September 1, 2026
Beginning September 1, Bingemans Catering will work alongside Affinity Conference Centre’s experienced events and service teams to provide culinary services for:
1. Weddings
2. Conferences
Clients booking with us will now have direct access to Bingemans’ customized culinary offerings and guest-focused service, paired with Affinity’s versatile event spaces, on-site accommodations at TownePlace Suites by Marriott Brantford, and dedicated sales and service teams. It’s the same trusted Affinity experience, now backed by an elevated, expertly crafted menu.
Bingemans Catering: New Menus, Packages and Possibilities
Our sales team is already introducing new culinary packages and booking upcoming events under this partnership. Clients planning a wedding, corporate meeting, or social celebration can expect fully customized menus built around their event and their guests.
We’re also rolling out a complete holiday catering program for organizations that want to lock in their preferred dates and spaces early this season. If your office, association, or organization is already thinking about your December event, now is the time to reach out — the earlier you book, the more flexibility you’ll have on both space and menu.
From elegant plated dinners to interactive food stations, refined appetizers, and thoughtfully composed tasting menus, Bingemans brings a level of culinary creativity that pairs perfectly with Affinity’s Grand Ballroom and flexible meeting spaces. Whether you’re hosting an intimate gathering or a 400-guest wedding reception, the new menu options are designed to scale beautifully.
