Welcome to Royal City Studios!

Royal City Studios was created to provide Guelph musicians and bands with quality music space to rehearse, record, and perform in. We baked in all of the important stuff musicians really want:

  • Great sound in the studios, with proper sound treatment for rehearsal, recording, and performing
  • Isolation from other music studios so that other musicians’ sounds do not interfere with your work, and your sounds can’t be heard by others
  • Solid equipment tuned by a sound expert to help you just arrive, plug in, and rehearse
  • Refreshments to fuel your work
  • Replacement items in case something has been forgotten or broken (sticks, picks, strings, reeds, etc.)
  • A respectful, inclusive, and fully accessible environment
  • With the vast numbers of musicians and groups in Guelph, we also look forward to hearing your ideas and making this facility the best in Canada.

Please send comments and suggestions to info@royalcitystudios.ca.

Attended a battle of the bands as spectators. My 2 granddaughters, both 11 years old, enjoyed watching the numerous musicians very respectively... compete. The acts were very diverse, the staff very friendly and informative. We didn't get a chance to have a look at the rest of the studios, but we'll be returning in the not too distant future to check out the whole facility. Both girls were quite inspired and are now asking me about guitars and maybe lessons. Thanks to Royal City Studios and the organizers of the battle of the bands, You guys Rock !!! I heard that Royal City Studios puts on a great open mic blues night that my wife and I will attend soon.read more

I booked this hall for my wedding later this year, however due to circumstances beyond my control we had to cancel. Weeks after we sent the deposit... the hall got back to us and said they were going bankrupt, and we have yet to receive the money for our deposit from them. Pretty pathetic they never said anything to us when we booked, so we would have risked not even having a venue to have my wedding at if I didn’t cancel.read more

This place is a shining beacon of hope in a struggling industry. The attention to detail, functionality and sound quality at Royal City Studios... reflects the expertise of the entire team of professional musicians and technicians running it. It's the real deal, made with love, and musicians love it. Everyone I bring here comes back.The rehearsal and recording rooms are acoustically balanced, well equipped, and practically arranged. Rates are affordable without cutting corners, and everyone on staff takes care to ensure that the atmosphere is always warm, welcoming, supportive, and inspiring. As a vocalist, frontman and songwriter, I could confidently record or rehearse here for any project, be it solo or with a band. I'm assured by their level of professionalism, and by how hard they strive to create sincerely excellent music with artists. These are devoted people who will jump through flaming hoops to bring the best out of everyone, with a positive energy that is absolutely infectious. As a musician with high expectations and even higher ambitions for everything I create, I feel completely at home and ready for anything here. This studio is fun in the best way.As a venue and event space; RCS is sustaining a music community which resurrects the energy and valuable wisdom of prior decades for entirely new generations in a very inclusive way, actively bridging gaps to support local musicians in creating more music. Built on love, soul, and punk sensibility, fueled by passion in the spirit of rock n' roll, to the profound benefit of all who love it. I arrived not knowing what to expect, spent a full day, and left feeling like I couldn't wait to come back again. Any musician of any level will thrive here, with the freedom to explore all they can be, supported by the rock-solid foundation that only a truly connected and reliable community can offer.All in all... I can't recommend RCS highly enough, and I encourage you to drop by one of their many regular events to see it for yourself!read more

Attended my first and not last concert at this clean, spacious and versatile studio on Aug. 8th with Kathleen Kovacs and the Four Degrees showcasing... their awesome musical talents. I loved every minute of it. This is a true gem of a place in Guelph for musicians and music lovers alike! I look forward to seeing it succeed beyond imagination! I would give this place 10 stars if I could!! Do check it out and attend the next fundraising concerts on Aug. 9th and 12th!read more
