Last reviewed: August 10, 2026. Benvoulin Heritage Church and Reid Hall is a Kelowna heritage wedding venue represented by the Central Okanagan Heritage Society (COHS). The Society’s current site identifies Benvoulin Church and Reid Hall as event-rental spaces and says they are best known for weddings and receptions.

The venue is part of Benvoulin Heritage Park. Its official history describes a restored 1892 Gothic Revival church, an English cottage-style garden and the rebuilt Reid Hall. This is a profile of the documented spaces and booking route, rather than a promise of availability, package inclusions or event outcomes.

Heritage setting and venue context

Benvoulin Church is a restored 1892 Gothic Revival-style church within Benvoulin Heritage Park. COHS records that the building reopened in 1986 after restoration and has since served as a community facility for public, family and cultural events, including weddings.

The official site identifies circular pews, rich woodwork and an early pump organ as features of the church. It also describes an English cottage-style garden on the heritage-park site. These are physical characteristics of the setting, not guarantees about décor, photography access or what is included with a rental.

Services and specialization

COHS offers Benvoulin Church and Reid Hall for event rentals. Its rentals page says the spaces are best known as a venue for weddings and receptions, while also being used for concerts, choirs, church groups and meetings.

Reid Hall can be rented together with Benvoulin Church or as a separate facility. The official description identifies it as a space used for receptions as well as meetings, small art exhibitions and craft sales. This makes the listing relevant to couples considering a heritage site with separate church and hall spaces, but COHS does not publish a wedding package or a detailed list of included event services on the pages reviewed.

Service area and who it may suit

The official history calls Benvoulin Church a Kelowna landmark, placing this venue in Kelowna, British Columbia. COHS does not state a formal travel radius or destination-wedding service area; this profile therefore does not assign one.

It may suit couples whose plans centre on a heritage church environment and a separate hall for a reception or other gathering. It may also be worth enquiring about for couples who value the documented garden, woodwork and historic character. Suitability ultimately depends on the couple’s date, guest count, accessibility needs, event format and the rental terms confirmed directly with COHS.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature of the site is the combination of a restored church, garden and Reid Hall. Reid Hall is described as an 825-square-foot space with vaulted ceilings, skylights and hardwood floors. Its warm-up kitchen has coffee urns, a refrigerator, range and dishwasher; the hall is described as fully wheelchair accessible.

The official pages do not publish a current capacity, wedding-specific floor plan, inventory list, catering policy, alcohol policy, sound rules, parking details, ceremony rules or weather-contingency plan. Those omissions are practical items to confirm, rather than drawbacks. The official rental page also notes that summer 2026 rental information was still estimated and subject to updates.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. The official rentals page directs prospective renters to enquire about availability and rates rather than listing wedding fees, deposits, taxes, minimums or package prices.

Ask COHS for a written, current quote that distinguishes the church, Reid Hall and any combined rental. Before committing, confirm the booking period, what equipment or facilities are included, payment schedule, damage deposit, cancellation terms and any applicable taxes or additional fees.

Contact and booking

For rental availability and rates, COHS directs visitors to its contact page. The Society publishes a contact form, the email address cohs@telus.net and telephone number 250-861-7188. The current official rental page also displays a calendar for Benvoulin Church and Reid Hall only.

The official pages reviewed do not publish a street address for Benvoulin Heritage Park, so no postal address is listed in this profile. When contacting COHS, ask for the current site address and arrival or access instructions along with the proposed date and event format.

What couples should confirm

Begin by confirming whether the desired date and the specific combination of spaces are available. Then establish whether the rental is for Benvoulin Church, Reid Hall, both spaces or another permitted area of the heritage park. Request the current rate sheet and written agreement before sending funds.

It is also sensible to confirm guest capacity for the intended setup; accessible entry and washroom arrangements; kitchen use; set-up and clean-up windows; vendor access; permitted food and beverages; décor restrictions appropriate to a heritage property; insurance requirements; and contingency plans. These questions are especially important because the official site currently provides an enquiry route rather than a comprehensive wedding-rental package online.
