Some of the most affordable options cost between C$40 to C$75 per hour. Venues with minimum spend options range between C$1000 - $2500 per session, depending on the amenities and size of the venue. (All data from Tagvenue.)
Many venues offer discounts for midweek bookings, as weekends have greater demand, so consider hosting your event on a weekday. Look for venues with flexible pricing, such as hourly rates, which are ideal for shorter events. Another expert tip is to negotiate with venue managers, especially if you're booking a longer event, as some venues may be willing to lower the rate for extended hours.
Additionally, consider venues slightly outside the central districts—areas like South Renfrew-Collingwood and Grandview-Woodland often have more affordable options than downtown Vancouver. If you're open to a venue with fewer frills, creative spaces or studios like East Van Photo Video Studio (C$40 per hour) can provide great value. Finally, bundling services such as catering or A/V equipment with your booking can sometimes result in discounted package deals.
Most event venues offer flexible hire durations. Locations like Tangible Studio can be booked for a full day at C$1,017, while others, such as Franklin Studios, offer hourly rentals starting at C$125 per hour. Depending on your event's needs, you can typically rent a space for as little as two hours, for a session (morning, afternoon, or evening) or an entire day.
