So we had a 2nd appointment with the coordinator of the reception venue we want. We had already met him almost a month ago, but we decided to make an appointment so our parents can take a look at it. Honestly, I was a little nervous because I wasn't really sure how my parents would feel about it. It's a beautiful place, but I've learned to expect the unexpected and wasn't sure what to expect from the parentals :)
Performance Works Theatre
Granville Island, Vancouver
Right away, they were totally in love with the venue even before the coordinator came to open the doors! Good sign, definitely, although I was surprised to hear such great feedback because my parents usually have 1 or 2 concerns about anything (lol)!
We chose this venue because we spend a lot of time biking to Granville Island and a theatre was a great fit because we both are performers at heart. Additionally, we can have our own open bar and since there's no on-site catering, we can do whatever we like food-wise.
The sides of the venue (where the "garage-looking" doors are) can be opened up for sunlight to come into the ginormous windows - love it!
It's mostly wooden beams and metal pipes, which is great enough on its own (translation = barely any decor needed!)
Oh, and it can fit 250 people. Comfortably.
What a great venue Marjo! Really happy for you!!
