Capacity, viewing and the booking enquiry

The historic 1920s pavilion is a rental venue inside Victoria Park. The stated maximum is 250 in a chairs-only arrangement. Ask staff about the actual layout, since adding tables reduces capacity. Viewings are by appointment through Event Rentals.

Submit the city’s enquiry form well in advance with the event details. An enquiry is not a confirmed rental. The checked rental page does not state a numbered entrance address, so use the named pavilion destination and confirm access with staff before inviting guests or planning deliveries.

Base fees, minimum hours and staff

Community or non-profit hall rental is $88.70 hourly or $1,330.50 daily before HST. Private or corporate hall rental is $177.40 hourly or $2,661 daily before HST. A facility fee adds $7.96 hourly or $119.40 daily. Monday-to-Wednesday hourly rentals require at least three hours; Thursday-to-Sunday require at least six.

Attendants cost $26.83 each per hour before HST, with at least two required. Staff, insurance and other charges are additional to the hall rate. Use an itemized quote for the event; multiplying the base room price alone understates the bill.

Music, alcohol and other event costs

The listed licensed-event fee is $328.73 before HST. Alcohol events require a Special Occasion Permit through the LCBO/AGCO process described by the city. Approval of a room does not replace the event’s permit requirements.

SOCAN and Re:Sound music charges, insurance, licensing and cleaning can add costs. Confirm all requirements and deadlines with Event Rentals for the planned activity. This page covers this pavilion only, rather than implying these rates apply to all Kitchener venues.
