The Modern is one of the most sought-after event venues in Greater Vancouver. This venue has hosted over a thousand events in the Lower Mainland, demonstrating the suitability of its space for hosting various celebrations.

Whether you’re searching for a venue for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, or any other celebration, we believe The Modern is an ideal place as they tailor their venue to suit your needs and preferences.

As an example, while they can put up interior decorations based on your celebration, you also have the choice to decorate yourself. They also provide a sound system and lighting as an added bonus.

We also think it’s a nice added touch that they have catering services, which we think is convenient so clients won’t have to search for this service.

Another thing that caught our attention is that their venue has a big capacity of 100 guests, and their facilities are wheelchair accessible.

Also, many of their clients that we’ve talked to have said that their staff is helpful because they offer free extras like board games, party games, and more to keep your guests entertained.

If there’s one drawback that we’ve observed with them, it’s that they require a CAD 1,000 deposit due at the time of booking. They also implement a 5-hour minimum venue rental.

Despite that, we highly recommend The Modern, as they’re one of the best birthday party venues in Vancouver.

6Pack Indoor Beach is one of the most unique birthday venues in Vancouver. This 18,000-square-foot space is filled with 700 metric tons of sand and is as big as five beach courts!

This venue offers a wide range of exciting sports and activities that are all-inclusive. This includes volleyball, archery tag, inflatable bouncers, and many more.

Apart from that, they also have a dedicated space for kids’ birthday parties that are suitable for ages 1 to 18 years old. 

When you rent this space, you may also organize the games for your kids’ party, which include dodgeball, tug of war, a treasure hunt, and more.

We would also like to mention that you can also rent an inflatable bouncer for children ages 8 and under. Renting this includes one staff member who will ensure the safety of your kids, and we liked that there are multiple themes to choose from.

Unfortunately, they have relatively higher rates. It’s also important to remember that they don’t give out refunds less than 7 days before your event.

Despite this, the majority of consumers we’ve spoken to praise their services as their facilities are clean and they have very kind and accommodating staff that make sure everyone is safe during an event.

If you’re looking for a unique birthday party venue, we think 6Pack Indoor Beach is a great choice.

Pacific Yacht Charters is a premiere luxury yacht service that can cater weddings, birthdays, corporate events, and other social events. This yacht can accommodate over 240 guests, making it ideal for large parties.

What we found most impressive is the numerous features of this venue as it has a built-in elegant lounge, two full-service bars, a dining salon, and a sky deck that provides scenic 360-degree views of the city. 

It’s also convenient that they have catering services, although this service is relatively pricey. But we think it’s reasonable given that they serve five-star meals that are prepared by their chefs.

We appreciate that they provide a virtual yacht tour on their website as we think this is beneficial so clients can view their venue easily. This also allows consumers to get a glimpse of their space before making a decision.

To add to that, they also have a comprehensive gallery of photos of their yacht and the previous events they have hosted on their yacht.

Moreover, many of the customers we’ve spoken to comment on how flexible they are as they’re able to accommodate last-minute requests and changes.

Pacific Yacht Charters is, in our opinion, one of the best birthday party venues in Vancouver for those who desire a more luxurious way to celebrate their special day.

4. The Permanent Library Limited

The Permanent Library Limited is one of the most elegant birthday venues located in downtown Vancouver. It can be used for weddings, corporate events, business conferences, and private parties, among other things. 

The Bank of Canada occupied this building in 1935, and the original vault door still stands at the head of the main hall, which we believe adds elegance to the space.

As we observed their venue, we noticed that it was designed to look elegant. It has bronze chandeliers, tile mosaics, and other neo-classical elements in the crown moldings.

This venue can house over 263 guests, which includes staff and vendors. But what we noticed and liked right away was the wide array of complimentary services included in your rentals.

This includes a sound system, an LED projector, WiFi, catering, and three levels of usable space, which we think is generous and allows guests to roam around freely.

We also liked that their main floor is completely accessible by wheelchair and that they have a supervisor and a security host on-site to help your guests.  

Having said that, we would like to mention that they’re frequently booked and closed on weekends, which we think further limits their availability.

Still, we think The Permanent Library Limited should still be on our list because they have a big room where birthday parties can be held. 

Customer Reviews

“Amazing venue, old school classic look inside! Super versatile space, always a good party.” – DJ B.

“Another fantastically repurposed and restored heritage building on the near east side of the glass city.  An impressive space that retains the  charm and elegance of yesterday…” -KG R.

5. Stanley Park Pavilion

The Stanley Park Pavilion was built in 1911 and is located in Stanley Park’s famous rose gardens. The building is a beautiful structure surrounded by gardens, Stanley’s Bar and Grill, washrooms, and the event space.

Although the inside of the pavilion can only accommodate 60 guests, the outside patio has a 200-seat dining and drinking area and overlooks the gardens surrounding the Pavilion.

What we particularly liked about them is that they allow guests to customize any of their menus. In our opinion, this allows customers to make the most out of their event.

It’s also a great plus that their venue is wheelchair accessible, and they also have a convenient paid parking space near the pavilion.

We also enjoy that they have a venue gallery with pictures of their event space, which we believe helps clients get a feel for the place prior to making a reservation.

However, if there is one thing about them that didn’t exactly thrill us, it’s that they charge a CAD 150 fee when you bring in outside catering. However, we liked that they don’t charge for meals for children under the age of 3.

In conclusion, we thought of including the Stanley Park Pavilion on our list as they provide a relaxing venue surrounded by lush gardens, making it one of the best birthday party venues in Vancouver.
