The Permanent is a select heritage event venue available for private event bookings. The space is ideal for weddings, corporate cocktail and gala events, trade shows, conferences, and private parties. The venue is conveniently located in downtown Vancouver near the Waterfront and Stadium Skytrain Stations. There is also ample parking close by and hotel accommodations next door at the Victorian Hotel.
Named after the BC Permanent & Loan Company, which opened it’s doors in 1907, The Permanent has been completely renovated and restored to it’s historic glory. In 1935, the Bank of Canada called this venue home. We have kept the original vault door and many other neo- classical elements making this venue extremely unique. With state of the art equipment, original stained glass, crystal details through out, and a 16 foot heritage bar, The Permanent is the perfect place for any celebration.
The venue is also available for film and television production rentals. Please inquire with Operations & Sales Manager, Max Cohen, max@thepermanent.ca.
