Great seats. Bit loud, but not too much so. The seats were comfortable & moveable chairs. Accessible seats are at the rear of the first level inside the doors. They have a spot to park walkers etc. Beverages were allowed inside the theatre. Concessions are CASH only. ATM available.

Third, great venue space & seating for smaller functions The seats are pretty cushiony and the seating itself it good for the size & age the building is. I never realized how many performances actually went on here or that services were mostly ran by volunteers The few times I've been here is all because of this awesome annual benefit concert called "Stand Up for Love" It's an amazing Kids Stollery fundraiser with a silent auction, family fair & kick butt dance/talent show!! I cannot WAIT for next year - it keeps getting better and more crazy every year! (Though it may outgrow Festival Place by then haha!)

I came here last week for the first time to attend my husband's 25th high school reunion…read more There was ample parking - always good for a large group! Especially when many people will struggle with just walking upright by the end ;-) The space we had the reunion in was open with vaulted ceilings with a large balcony. The washrooms were also clean the entire night - bonus! The staff (food/liquor) were friendly and easy to find. We had both chef stations (sautéed giant shrimp on bruschetta were my fave) and hor d'oeuvres throughout the evening. We ordered a bottle of champagne to share with our table and the bartender came over to serve it to us and offered to keep it on ice at his station. Without even asking, he would reappear silently to refill our glasses. I wish I had asked his name because he was phenomenal! My only complaint was the lack of seating and volume of the dj/band but I'm guessing those were both choices by the reunion committee. I'm definitely looking forward to the next time I have an event here or any reason to come back and check 'em out.

I was here recently for an Edmonton NextGen event and it was nice to set foot into this space for…read morethe first time in ages. I hadn't been here in quite some time. I like the fact that this building houses both the City of Edmonton Archives (on the second floor) and also includes a lot of beautiful rental space. It's pretty awesome how versatile this space can be for hosting events. And being greeted when I arrived by the door with people willing to provide directions to the event I was seeking was pretty awesome. I am quite happy that that happened and the area outside the event space was beautiful and well lit while we awaited the event. I liked seeing some of the more historic building touches as we awaited the event (for example the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II). The historic facility is beautifully well maintained and has some great facility touches. I would definitely recommend the space for special event rentals.

What a great place to host a business meeting! Great location and easy to access, and so unique! We…read morehad a very spacious room for our meeting, and it was set up exactly as requested. There are museums in the building, that all of our guests could enjoy. The price was also very reasonable, and we were able to bring our own food in. Sometimes I find with some City of Edmonton facilities you have to use a recommended caterer, but we were able to choose our own. I deduct one star because a few of our guests who arrived late were in a bit of a pickle trying to find parking, but there is a lot of parking, and it is free. Highly recommend using this space for business meetings.

This was a fantastic venue to host Avenue Edmonton Best Restaurants Party. The service was…read moreexemplary along with the beautiful decor. I liked that there was seating for those that wanted to sit and standing tables as well for those that were mingling around the room. The lighting was well suited to the room and I found the temperature just right. I find that for events like this, it's important to have a comfortable room where people don't feel too warm or cold. The bar was situated in the middle of the room and I found that the setup was just well thought out for traffic flow. Speaking of traffic flow, I like that there was ample parking for attendees.

What a stunning venue! I was brought here for a banquet dinner and awards ceremony and needless to…read moresay I was very impressed. There were cocktails in the front area when we arrived where people could mingle and check out the huge fish tank! Once we proceeded in for dinner we found all of the tables beautifully set. The food was amazing, and the room was prefect for the awards presentation. Everything was well decorated, well lit and the stage was set up perfectly. It's also one of the few venues in Edmonton that can hold 350 people! I was extremely impressed with the Oasis Center as a venue and would definitely consider holding events here in the future!

Special bar b q events happen periodically during the Spring/Summer. Also wine tastings.

We had our wedding reception at the University Club 40 years ago. This past weekend I had a…read moresurprise retirement party there for my husband. It was as remarkable as our wedding. From the planning team to the servers, everyone went out of their way to assist me. You cannot beat the view. I was running out of time both setting up and taking down the party, and staff seemed to appear from nowhere to help out. The food was delightful and served hot and on time. Jim, the upstairs manger, should receive a gold medal for his service. Nothing is too small or too big for him to tackle. Lovely, sweet wait staff. Thank you for making this a night my husband and guests will never forget.

I haven't organized these events but family and friends have (weddings). It's a beautiful location with photogenic scenery enclosing the manicured lawns and lodge. Perfect for wedding pictures. We've celebrated other events related to soccer tournaments. I love the cabin structure itself. It's charming, and having the dining hall seperated at an angle from the dance area works in terms of noise for our elders who wanted to sit and chat.

She even provided us with her cell phone number so we were able to contact her if there were any issues (which there weren't). Food was great, staff was friendly and timely - the building itself looked great. For the type of feel of this venue (rustic, country, etc) it is one of the more affordable options in the city. Also was nice to have everything in one spot, reduces some of the coordinating especially if you're doing it yourself. Some of the rental prices are a bit higher than perhaps a rental company or buying off of kijiji but for ourselves was worth it to avoid having to coordinate rentals and drop off, pick up, set up etc. costs and policies were clearly outlined in the information package provided to us originally. Only thing was that we were not able to get the space the day before our wedding to decorate so we had to do that day of - but that is the nature of getting married in the summer! The venue was booked the night before for another wedding so there was no way around that. Overall we really enjoyed our experience!

So know where you are going first if you are seeing an evening space. It is a more intimate space for smaller productions and we have enjoyed many plays there.

This venue is used extensively during the Edmonton Fringe Festival. It's been host of the popular Late Night Cabaret for the last few years. But, also is used during the rest of the year for other shows. The venue lay-out changes with what is being shown. But I have yet to find a bad seat in the house. It also features clean flush toilets, air conditioning and sells alcohol. (All important features during fringe.) The bar is cash only and no ATM on site.
