Originally built in 1907 as The BC Permanent & Loan and later home to the Western branch of The Bank of Canada, this historic site has undergone a comprehensive renovation, seamlessly blending old-world charm with contemporary wedding amenities. The main-level banquet hall boasts exceptional details, most notably a stained glass dome designed by Bloomfield Studios, as well as a sixteen-foot antique art glass bar, providing a captivating backdrop for weddings. The Permanent combines classic elegance with modern comforts and appeals to discerning clients seeking a unique wedding venue. Our comprehensive wedding package includes rental options for tables, chairs, dimmable lighting, in-house AV, and security. Additionally, we offer a full-service wedding bar package to enhance the celebration, featuring professional bartenders and an exceptional bar menu with options to customize your offerings. The Permanent offers stunning wedding facilities and an inviting atmosphere, infusing the ambiance with romance and potential. In addition to elegant furnishings, the wedding venue is well-equipped with heating and A/C, a catering kitchen, barware, and dining furniture. The main hall accommodates up to 130 seated guests for seated dining and can comfortably host 250+ standing guests, providing ample room for mingling and celebration. The former 'boardroom' of the bank upstairs is an excellent flex space that can be dedicated to vendor use or to host more intimate parts of a wedding celebration (e.g., cocktail hour, tea ceremony, smaller private ceremony). At The Permanent, we strive to provide an enchanting wedding space and a seamless experience for every occasion.
