Fundraisers and Wedding Socials
Wedding socials & fundraisers at Rumor’s are an easy and convenient way to raise money and it’s something more unique than the typical offering!
Rumor’s offers top-notch entertainment, friendly staff and excellent food and drinks! Best of all, there are no costs associated with holding a wedding social/fundraiser at Rumor’s – no DJ rental to pay for, no “late night snack” needs to be purchased and no liquor permits need to be acquired, etc.
Wedding Social/Fundraiser Information
We work together to find the night to have your event at Rumors, you set the ticket price (no less than the retail price) and we’ll start you with an initial allotment of 160 tickets to sell. The majority of our shows are eligible for a wedding social/fundraiser; shows that are labelled as "Concert Series" events are not available for a fundraising event.
If you set your ticket price at our regular retail price, you will keep half the face value of the ticket price.

However, if you set your fundraiser ticket price higher than the regular retail price, you will keep additional money per ticket sold.
Example
The regular retail price of tickets on Thursday night is $17.00. If you sell your fundraiser tickets at this price, ticket sales are split $8.50/$8.50 between the fundraiser and Rumor’s. If you sell your tickets for higher than $17.00 (i.e. $20.00 per ticket), Rumor’s is still only going to receive half of the regular retail price, meaning your profit margin will be higher!
Silent Auctions & 50-50 Draws
If you sell 125 tickets or more,
Rumor’s is happy to provide you with the space and the opportunity to hold a
silent auction and/or 50-50 draw during your wedding social; we’ll even donate
a prize for your silent auction! Please note that due to time constraints in
turning the show-room over between the two shows on Friday and Saturday nights,
silent auctions cannot be held during the Friday/Saturday early (7:15pm) shows.
In addition, any group holding a silent auction and/or 50-50 draw will need to
apply for a LGCA social occasion raffle license. Please visit http://lgamanitoba.ca/liquor-gaming-applications/social-occasion-raffles/ for more information.
Other Benefits of Fundraising With Rumor’s
- 1) We pay for the custom printing of your tickets.
- 2) Tickets are consigned to your group, so you only have to pay for the ones that you sell (beyond the initial purchase of 50 tickets).
- All unsold tickets and money for sold tickets (payable by cash, cheque or e-transfer) must be returned to Rumor’s 7 days prior to your event.
No Risk, Highly Profitable Return!
Rumor’s can help raise money for your:
- Wedding Social
- Sports Team
- Animal Shelter/Rescue Group
- Grad Committee
- Daycare
- Club or Social Organisation
- Student Association
- School Band or Choir
- Charitable Event and any other good cause you support!
The Fine Print: In order to secure a date for the fundraiser, we require an upfront, non-refundable, payment of 50 tickets x ½ of the regular retail price (i.e. on a Thursday, with a regular retail ticket price of $17.00 this would be 50 tickets x ½ of $17.00 = $425.00).
This upfront payment can then be applied to the final amount owed to Rumor’s after the ticket sales are completed.
