Last reviewed: August 13, 2026. The Wallace is a North Vancouver wedding venue on the third level of the Shipyards’ reconstructed Machine Shop at 125 Victory Ship Way. The official site describes a modern-industrial setting with an open-concept event space and a 2,400-square-foot outdoor terrace on the Lower Lonsdale waterfront.

For couples comparing spaces for a ceremony, reception or larger celebration, the venue publishes current wedding information, capacity guidance, booking rates and inquiry options. The venue’s materials describe a flexible, blank-canvas format, but several operational requirements—such as exclusive catering, event insurance and a required professional planner—are important to understand before reserving a date.

Services and specialization

The Wallace markets itself for weddings as well as meetings, corporate events and other special events. Its wedding pages describe indoor and outdoor function space that can be adapted to an event’s individual style, rather than a pre-decorated wedding package. That format may suit couples who want to bring a defined design direction and work with professional suppliers.

Published venue features include an open-concept servery kitchen for food preparation, a bridal or green room, accessible washrooms, elevator access to the third floor, storage facilities, water and power on the terrace, in-house speakers and two wireless microphones. The official wedding information also lists banquet tables and garden chairs among the included rentals. A projector is available to rent; other items such as linens, décor, dinnerware and glassware need to be arranged separately.

Service area and who it may suit

The Wallace is located in North Vancouver’s Shipyards area, on the Lower Lonsdale waterfront. It is a local option for couples planning a North Shore or Metro Vancouver celebration and for guests who can travel to the waterfront location. The official contact page confirms the venue is on the third floor of the Shipyards.

The stated maximum occupancy is 200 people standing or 180 seated. This makes it relevant to couples whose guest list and room plan fit within those limits. Couples should consider the distinction between standing and seated capacity when assessing ceremony seating, dinner service, dance-floor space, bar placement and vendor equipment.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the venue’s combined indoor and outdoor layout: the official site describes approximately 3,400 to 3,500 square feet of open event space and a 2,400-square-foot outdoor terrace. The building also has accessible stalls and elevator access, which are practical features to discuss early if accessibility is a priority.

The venue publishes a full-day rental with access from 9:00 a.m.; an on-site venue concierge and post-event cleaners are included for the rental period. Parking is not included in the rental fee. The venue says there are 125 public underground stalls at the Shipyards and additional public parking at the Pinnacle Hotel, so couples should confirm guest parking arrangements for their date.

The blank-canvas model also carries practical limits. Décor must be freestanding; the venue prohibits attaching items to walls and restricts items such as loose confetti, glitter, helium balloons, dry ice and smoke machines. No items may be stored onsite overnight, and the published information says all rentals must be removed that night.

Pricing

Current pricing is explicitly published for 2026 and 2027 bookings. For 2026, the stated venue fees are $6,800 plus GST for a Friday or Saturday booking, $5,250 plus GST for a weekday booking and $2,625 plus GST for a Monday-to-Friday half-day booking. For 2027, the published fees are $6,950 plus GST for a Saturday or Sunday booking, $5,350 plus GST for a weekday booking and $2,675 plus GST for a Monday-to-Friday half-day booking.

For both years, the official site states that 50% of the venue fee is required to confirm the booking and is applied to the full rental fee. It lists cheques and e-transfers as preferred payment methods, with a 5% surcharge for credit cards. The site also promotes a separate Restaurant Experience package for Monday through Thursday; ask for its current inclusions and price directly.

Published venue fees are not a complete wedding budget. Catering, bar choices, décor, specialty rentals, planning, insurance, tax, optional projector rental, parking and any applicable late charges should be clarified in a written proposal.

Contact and booking

The official booking route is the inquiry form on the Wallace website. It asks for contact details, a preferred date, whether the date is flexible, guest count and booking details. The contact page also invites prospective clients to schedule an appointment to visit the venue.

The confirmed phone number is 604.676.4063 and the published email is thewallace@quaynorthurban.com. Before submitting an inquiry, have a preferred date or date range, estimated guest count, event timing and early questions about ceremony, reception, catering and bar requirements ready.

What couples should confirm

The Wallace’s official wedding pages establish several requirements that should be confirmed in writing for the specific booking. The venue says all catering must be through one of its listed exclusive caterers, that outside alcohol is not permitted and that clients work with the in-house bar team. It also states that a professional wedding planner is required.

Clients must obtain $5 million in general liability insurance and list The Wallace Venue Corp. as additionally insured. The published cancellation language says a group cancelling within 60 days is charged the full room rental and that the booking fee is non-refundable. As contracts and event policies can change, ask the venue to confirm the version that applies to the chosen date.

Also confirm exact access and teardown times, terrace use and noise restrictions, current planner and catering rules, bar minimums or service charges, all taxes and add-ons, parking logistics, accessibility needs, rain or weather contingencies, and whether any rentals can be delivered or collected outside the standard event window.

Planning fit

The Wallace may be a fit for couples looking for a contemporary North Vancouver setting with a terrace and a space they can personalise. Its capacity and published inclusions provide a useful starting point, but the final fit depends on the guest count, catering approach, design plan and willingness to meet the venue’s planner, insurance and supplier requirements.

For a comparison of other verified providers, use Canada Wedding Guide’s directory alongside direct venue proposals. Compare like-for-like: confirm whether the quoted amount is a room fee only, what hours are included, which furniture and audio equipment are supplied, and what operational services are mandatory.
