Kimberley Conference Centre

Last reviewed: August 20, 2026. Business status: Active.

Kimberley Conference & Athlete Training Centre is a Kimberley BC wedding venue with rooms for intimate gatherings, cocktail-style functions and larger receptions. Its official website identifies weddings and celebrations among the events accommodated in the facility and presents the New Dawn Ballroom, Pre-Function Space and several smaller rooms as available event settings.

The venue publishes useful room dimensions and banquet-style capacities, but it does not publish wedding rates or a complete wedding package online. Couples can therefore use the confirmed details below to judge whether the facility merits an enquiry, then request a current proposal covering room rental, catering, equipment, setup requirements and any other services needed for their date. This profile was last reviewed on August 20, 2026.

Services and specialization

The centre is a purpose-built event facility that hosts weddings alongside conferences, celebrations, trade shows and sporting events. For larger wedding receptions, its principal space is the New Dawn Ballroom. The official site describes this 5,580-square-foot room as suitable for wedding receptions and gala events, with banquet-style seating for up to 400 and theatre-style seating for up to 500.

The ballroom can also be divided into New Dawn Ballroom A and B. Each half is listed at 2,790 square feet, with banquet-style capacity for 200 and theatre-style capacity for 300. Each divided room has a dedicated projector, screen and sound system. The venue also documents onsite catering and audiovisual equipment, although couples should ask which services and equipment are included in a wedding quote.

• New Dawn Ballroom: 5,580 square feet and banquet-style seating for up to 400
• New Dawn Ballroom A or B: 2,790 square feet and banquet-style capacity of 200 per section
• Pre-Function Space: 3,000 square feet and banquet-style capacity of 80
• Rental with or without catering is listed for the featured event spaces
• Audiovisual technology is built into the ballroom design

Service area and who it may suit

The facility is located at 301 North Star Boulevard in Kimberley, British Columbia. Its official homepage describes Kimberley as a mountain event destination with an airport nearby, but couples should confirm their preferred airport, driving route and transportation arrangements directly rather than assuming specific transfer times.

The range of room sizes may suit couples planning anything from a small meal or gathering to a reception requiring a ballroom configuration. The full New Dawn Ballroom is the clearest fit for a larger banquet, while the partitioned ballroom and breakout rooms offer alternatives for more modest guest counts or separate wedding activities. Published capacities are configuration-specific and should not be treated as a guaranteed wedding capacity without a floor plan.

• Couples seeking a ballroom reception setting in Kimberley
• Weddings that may benefit from separate pre-function and reception areas
• Events requiring published banquet capacities from 24 to 400, depending on the room
• Couples interested in arranging accommodation, transportation or activities through local partners, subject to confirmation

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature is the variety of spaces within one facility. The bright Pre-Function Space is described for meet-and-greet occasions and cocktail parties, and the surrounding glass walkways are presented as a possible wedding aisle. The New Dawn Ballroom uses natural British Columbia timber, acoustic panels and two large projector screens. Smaller rooms provide additional options for private gatherings or supporting functions.

The official material also describes wheelchair-friendly, glass-enclosed ramps leading to the upper floor and Jerry Johnston Room. However, the supplied evidence does not provide a complete wedding-specific accessibility plan, ceremony policy, sample floor plan or detailed list of included furnishings. Couples with mobility, sensory or other access requirements should discuss routes, washrooms, seating, parking and emergency procedures with the venue.

• Multiple large, medium and small event rooms are documented
• The ballroom can be divided into two equal spaces
• Banquet-style capacities and room dimensions are published
• Catering and audiovisual support are documented as available
• Wedding-specific inclusions and accessibility details require direct confirmation

Pricing

Current wedding prices are not published. The official space pages state that rooms can be rented with or without catering, but the supplied evidence contains no room rates, food-and-beverage minimums, bar pricing, deposits, service charges, taxes or wedding package totals.

Couples should request an itemized written estimate for their preferred date, room and guest count. The estimate should distinguish the facility rental from catering, beverages, staffing, audiovisual equipment, furniture, setup, teardown and any coordination or partner-booking services. It is also worth asking how overtime, damage deposits, cancellations and changes to the final guest count are handled.

• Ask for the current room rental rate and payment schedule
• Confirm whether catering is optional for the selected space
• Request food, beverage, staffing and equipment costs separately
• Check applicable taxes, service charges, deposits and cancellation terms

Contact and booking

The official contact number displayed by the centre is (250) 427-6745. Its contact page also provides an online enquiry form and lists the physical address as 301 North Star Blvd., Kimberley, BC V1A 2Y5.

The venue says its management team can assist with event and reception logistics and can arrange hotel rooms, restaurants, transportation and activities through the Kimberley community. These are operator-described services rather than confirmed wedding package inclusions, so couples should establish which arrangements the venue will manage, whether third-party contracts are involved and what fees apply.

• Prepare an estimated guest count and preferred room configuration
• Provide one or more possible wedding dates
• Ask whether both ceremony and reception can be accommodated as planned
• Request a site visit and a written, wedding-specific proposal

What couples should confirm

Before booking, couples should verify that the published banquet capacity works with their actual layout. A dance floor, entertainment area, head table, buffet, bar, audiovisual equipment and accessibility clearances can all affect usable seating. They should also confirm whether the Pre-Function Space or glass walkways can be reserved for a ceremony or cocktail period and whether those areas would be shared.

The official evidence confirms catering availability but does not set out wedding menus, bar arrangements, outside-vendor rules or dietary processes. Couples should ask for current menus and clarify whether they may bring an outside caterer, cake, décor team, DJ, band, photographer or planner. Accommodation is described as available through partners rather than documented as being inside the centre, so room blocks, locations, rates and transportation should be verified separately.

• Available dates, event hours and access time for setup and teardown
• Final seated capacity for the proposed reception floor plan
• Ceremony locations and a weather alternative, if relevant
• Catering, bar, cake and outside-vendor policies
• Tables, chairs, linens, décor, sound and projection inclusions
• Accessibility requirements for guests and vendors
• Accommodation arrangements and transportation responsibilities
• Deposit, cancellation, insurance and overtime terms

The official venue page lists banquet-style seating for up to 400 in the full 5,580-square-foot New Dawn Ballroom. Each partitioned half is listed with banquet-style capacity for 200. Couples should obtain a wedding floor plan because a dance floor, bar, stage, buffet and other elements may reduce practical seating.

Are wedding prices published online?

Current wedding prices are not published. Couples should request an itemized quote covering room rental, catering, beverages, staffing, equipment, setup, taxes, service charges and deposits.
