 There are a variety of costs associated with the holding of an event at the Victoria Event Centre. These costs include the basic rental rate (see table below) and depending on your event, there might be additional costs relating to: - Security Staff ($12/hr)
- Sound Tech ($17/hr)
- Insurance (Optional, Sometimes Required)
Coat Check and Concession/Bar services and staff are provided and paid for by the Victoria Event Centre. Revenue from the concession and coat check go towards paying for the service, product and staffing. Renters have the opportunity to earn 20% of alcohol sales when a bar is active, which can greatly reduce your overall costs. Please see the Serving of Alcohol section for more information.
Depending on the content of your event, you will be required to pay a SOCAN fee. The amount depends on the terms of your event. We will be able to help determine your fee, but please feel free to research this on your own at SOCAN.
