Built in 1916, we are a proudly registered and well maintained, heritage building located on Main Street at 15th Avenue, in Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant neighbourhood, ten minutes from downtown. The elegant 3,300 square-foot ballroom has a rich white, grey and aqua colour scheme, stained glass chandeliers, high ceilings, and large windows with an abundance of natural light. The building has a maximum capacity of 200 people and is wheelchair accessible.
The ballroom’s neutral yet elegant decor makes for an excellent, photographic, memorable, and affordable venue for a wide array of events in the community.
We have hosted weddings, receptions, private parties, banquets, benefits and fundraisers, retirement parties, concerts, choirs, birthdays, anniversaries, craft fairs, collectible markets, corporate and cultural celebrations, graduations, baby showers, film shoots, memorials, seminars and lectures, book launches, wine tastings, etc.

FAQ
What about alcohol?
- You must get a Special Event Permit [Liquor License] if you wish to serve alcohol. The Permit dictates quantities of alcohol that can be served. Find more information at: https://justice.gov.bc.ca/lcrb/sep Present the Permit number to the building manager before your event.
- Renters planning to serve alcohol must purchase Event Liability Insurance including “Host Liquor Liability Insurance” in the amount of $5 million adding “Heritage Hall Preservation Society” as an Additional Insured. A copy of the renter’s Insurance Certificate must be provided to the building manager before your event. You can choose your own insurance provider.
- Event Policy is a suggested online provider that you could use. https://www.eventpolicy.ca/
- If you want a “real” bar, these can be rented from a Party Rental company. Heritage Hall uses tables for a bar. Tables can be set up in an “L” shape, a “U” shape or one table in front and one behind.
- No consumption of alcohol is permitted outside of the ballroom.
Hosts are responsible for reminding their guests.
What size are the tables?

What about chairs?
- 150 standard banquet chairs with padded seats and backs are provided. The chairs are dark gray in colour.
- We do not provide chair covers.
- Renters who use their own chairs must bring them in and out on the same day, therefore we advise against this option.
What’s in the kitchen?

- We do NOT have a stovetop.
- We do NOT provide dishes, cutlery, glassware or linens.
When do we have to pay?
- Heritage Hall only accepts cheques, cash or e-transfer. Because of our status as a non-profit, charitable organization, we are not required to collect PST or GST.
We do not accept Credit Cards. - Damage Deposit A $200 damage deposit is required and is due at the time of booking. This deposit will be held until after the event and returned, minus any charges, by cheque.
Allow 30 days for refund. - Rental Deposit The rental deposit is due at the time of the booking and will be subtracted from the rental amount due 30 days before the event. Saturday rental deposits are $1,605. All other rental deposits are $200 per day.
- Cancellation If the booking is cancelled more than six months prior to the event date then 50% of the rental deposit and 100% of the damage deposit will be returned. The remaining 50% of the rental deposit will be forfeited. If the booking is cancelled after the day that is six months prior to the event date only the damage deposit will be returned. The entire rental deposit will be forfeited.
What should we do about the delivery and pick-up of rentals?
- Heritage Hall cannot store your rentals. You are responsible for taking care of your own rentals. All rentals must be delivered and picked up on the day of the event.
What time can we get in to set up?
- Your access time is restricted to the hours you have paid for. Evening rentals start at 6 pm, daytime rentals start at 9 am. If you know you need several hours in the afternoon to set up, do not rent only for the evening. It is possible to add early entry time to your evening rental at a cost of $50/hour.
- If you need earlier access you must work out details ahead of time with the building manager. Heritage Hall staff need the hours before 9 am to clean up after the night before.
What about decorating?
- Decorations should be free-standing whenever possible.
- We have provided a hook on each side of each pillar at about the 10 foot height. These are meant to be anchor points for your decorations or lights. Only green painter’s tape or string can be used to hang things. Decorations, including tape and string, must be removed at the conclusion of your event.
- Nothing should be pinned or taped to the window drapes.
- We have a six and an eight foot aluminum ladder for your use.
- If you have special decorating needs consult the building manager.

What about candles?
- There are two problems with candles: fire and melted wax.
- We allow you to use tea lights in glass containers. No tapered or pillar candles are allowed.
- Only LED candles are allowed on the window sills by the drapes.
- Melted wax on any surfaces will result in cleaning charges.
What about parking?
- There is no parking lot. Parking is on the street and is mostly not restricted to residents only. There is one reserved spot behind the building suitable for caterers or anyone else who has a lot of stuff to unload. There is two hour metered parking in front of the building on Main Street.
