How to rent a cocktail party space in Vancouver

From social meetup events to wedding receptions, there's always a good reason to include a cocktail or three! Cocktail parties add a touch of elegance to the evening through appropriate dress choices, tasteful music, and a venue to match. These can include rooftop cocktail bars, street level clubs, restaurant dining halls, and hotel banquet halls…There are so many beautiful places to host a cocktail party in Vancouver, a city known for its beautiful views and upscale atmosphere.

The best places to host a cocktail party in Vancouver

For a private cocktail party in Vancouver, your best bet is to reserve a party hall, loft space, cocktail lounge, or other venue for an exclusive night of fun. Many local bars can be rented in their entirety for a cocktail wedding reception or company night out as well. A dining hall, dance floor, or other space will have a bar close at hand to keep drinks topped off. Vancouver restaurants, bars, and hotels have the best selections of craft beverages. Paired with their elegant interiors and adjacent party spaces for dancing or dinner, they are by far the best spaces for a cocktail party.
If you want a space that has a few more possibilities beyond mingling, consider a vacation home. Mansions have outdoor lawns for cocktails and games in addition to a bar, dance floor, and banquet hall. You can find mansions with jacuzzis, rooftop lounges, screening rooms for movies, and kitchens as well. And then there's the upscale character of the building itself, typically a historic heritage home with marble columns, wall art, and other touches.

Explore waterfront cocktail party venues in Vancouver

Vancouver's venues with a view include waterfront spaces where guests can enjoy the sight and sound of the restless Pacific Ocean nearby. Waterfront hotels, restaurants, and event centers offer unbeatable views at affordable rates. The city's museums, galleries, and convention centers are also open to large-scale cocktail parties. For example, the Vancouver Convention Centre has multiple spaces suitable for a birthday, wedding reception, or cocktail party, including outdoor plazas, patios, ballrooms, and exhibition halls. Rooftop courtyards, atriums, and bars in Vancouver also give you a view to go along with your drink. If the weather becomes drizzly, as it so often does, consider a venue with an extendable roof or tents to ensure the evening continues without missing a beat!

Cozy Loft In Capitol Hill Melrose Market by Convention Center
