It was perfect. Cozy but functional. We had our two day offsite here and hosted 25 of our employees. The space was great.

The quality of this wonderful venue, and the cherished memories which were created within it, is unrivalled in the world of mankind. I would endorse this space with great vigour to any such soul that desires to host a gathering in the aspirations of creating good vibes for all in attendance. Having grown up in Vancouver but moved away several years ago, I was visiting home to water the crops of friendship with loved ones and wanted to host an intimate gathering for a group of ~30 friends. I'd initially looked at booking a private room at a bar so that we'd have a dedicated space, but in a most fortuitous turn of events I stumbled upon this hallowed space. The English language, nor any other form of language (spoken or otherwise) can adequately convey the superiority of this space when compared to an alternative option. We were able to bless our ears with whatsoever musical stylings the guests desired, which were played over their phenomenal sound system linked to my phone via the technological marvel which is known as bluetooth. In addition, we were able to move about the space to both mix AND mingle, which was the goal of providing an intimate setting. In comparison, if we'd gathered in a private room at a bar then we would have been stuck in small groups along a table of great length and would not have been so free as to catch up with friends of old or to begin sowing the seeds of friendship amongst those who were not yet familiar with one another. Furthermore, the team providing the space were friendly, engaging, and enormously helpful in coordinating the venue and ensuring it was fit to host a royal entourage. Each of the 30 guests in attendance messaged me personally afterwards to say that it was one of their fondest memories in recent years, that the space made all the difference in the world, and I will most certainly be booking this space upon my next return to Vancouver. If you want to host a great event with a supportive team and a well-equipped space, look no further and book this space!

An amazing space for an event! Hosted my husbands birthday, and has the perfect amount of space for people to hangout in their own pockets, sit, be cozy or party! Would highly recommend. All our guests loved it
