Your dream Vancouver wedding rental.
We have hosted well over 150 weddings! Coal Harbour Community Centre is a modern facility in the heart of historical Coal Harbour. Located along Vancouver’s seawall, we face north with the most picturesque view. Enjoy your wedding as you view the magnificent North Shore Mountains, Pacific Ocean, Coal Harbour Marina, and Stanley Park as the backdrop.
Weddings are typically held in our Multi–Purpose Room, which is the largest room in the Community Centre. The room has a standing capacity of 100 people and a seating capacity of 80. The room is approximately 52’ x 39’ (feet) with hardwood floors, a large patio, a top of the line stereo system, and a small kitchen.
The Multi–Purpose Room can be reserved up to a year in advance for your wedding or special event depending on the date and time. The typical timeslot for weddings are Saturdays from 2:00pm – 1:00am (this includes time to set–up).

What rooms do you have available for rent?
At Coal Harbour Community Centre, we pride ourselves on having a whole range of wedding spaces available for rental. Over the years, we’ve found that the majority of our wedding guests rent the Multipurpose Room. This is the largest room that we have available for wedding rental. If you’re looking for an event space that has a more intimate feel, our other rooms are also available to rent.

What are the amenities for this wedding rental space?
If you’re renting the Multipurpose Room for your wedding, this space comes with hardwood, floors, a large outdoor patio, a top of the line stereo system, and a small kitchen.
The kitchen has a stove, oven, microwave, sink, and two fridges. One of the fridges is located beside the kitchen and is perfect for a drink/bar area. Unfortunately, the kitchen is only for storing, reheating, and preparing food—full cooking is prohibited.
Renters may bring in any caterer they wish—the Community Centre does not provide any food or beverage services. The centre also does not have tablecloths, place settings, cutlery, serving utensils, or kitchen items at the Community Centre, and linen service is not provided.
The patio can be used, but tables/chairs must be brought in by 10pm and everyone must be inside with doors closed by that time. This is a City of Vancouver by-law and non-negotiable.

Tables and chairs are provided with the rental. 15 round tables (60-inch diameter), 10 rectangular tables (6’ by 2.5’ feet), and 2 card tables are available. Renters are responsible for their own set-up and clean-up unless janitorial service is ordered (service for clean-up only).

If liquor is being served, it is the renter’s responsibility to apply for a special occasion license and the primary person serving must have Serving it Right. Visit Serving It Right for more information.
