The layout as a guest heading in to the hall as one circles the staircase was a bit odd/like a school multipurpose room. As a performer, it's also odd as the washroom and halls leading backstage is all the same corridor- no elements of grandeur/ privacy/zones hence what I meant about a multipurpose room. Attended a masterclass here recently and the guest was amazing, however I felt the layout was just odd and too casual. Considering this is next to VSO and part of the VSO Academy, I dare say it needs improvement.

I would never have known about this jewel concert theatre had I not attended the most magical "Vino…read more& Forte" performance by Orianna White and Ivan Tucakov last night. The venue is exquisite. Once in the glass doors off the street, ascend the staircase to the spacious and comfortable landing on the second floor. There's a wine bar counter and ledges to set your wine glass during the reception between performance sets. All is in cool grey and natural wood and black granite, perfectly appointed. The theatre itself seats about 120 in "theatre" format with the stage large enough for a grand piano and the highest of hi-tech precision sound balancing beams of wood all around the room allowing for configuration of the beams to provide ultimate acoustic experience for various types of performances. It's a very intimate venue and the plush red covered theatre seating and chairs are high quality and very comfortable for the one, two or three hours of sitting during recitals and performances. Apparently, the theatre is multi-functional, whereby the floor can be configured with theatre seats, or chairs in different arrangements, and allowing for many different configurations. The performance we saw last night was AMAZING. I highly recommend following Ivan Tucakov (http://tamburarasa.com/shows.php). In this show, Ivan brought his guitar genius and sounds of eastern and western Europe (Spanish, variations of Flemenco, Fado... fused with Balkan traditional sounds and beats) and blended playfully in a duet with traditional and classically trained Orianna White on piano. The interplay was moving to say the least, and the overall performance was pure MAGIC. The performance was greatly enhanced by the venue where, during intermission, we sampled wines brought in especially for the performance and lingered and mingled with friends and the performers.

I have passed by this prominent, very brown, very stately building on Main at 15th SO many times…read more It takes up nearly a city block and is 3 stories high, and has a very imposing clock tower, too! My kid had her high school prom here, and there are often various community events held here, as well as private parties, receptions and weddings. Today I finally got the chance to visit the building, though, as there was a weekend-long artisan fair held here. What a lovely venue! Outside, by the entrance, there is a plaque on the facade declaring this building as a "Heritage Building" (designated as such in 1974). The actual building was built in 1915 and was first used as a post office. For those who care about architectural and design styles, the building is classified as being done in the Beaux Arts Classicism style, with a lot of ornamentation on the sculptured columns and facade's stone. There are many sculpted faces and sandstone festoons visible on the first and second story exterior. Inside, the first floor used to be a grand ballroom, and it was recently re-done (in 2015), so now there is a terrazzo floor, and where once was a huge trompe l'oeil mural is now a blank wall (bummer). There still are beautiful chandeliers and an ethereal ceiling that's reminiscent of calming green-blue sea glass. Today at the artisan fair, there were tables lined up and creating aisles in the ballroom, so the room looked somewhat small. I'd imagine the venue appearing much larger and spatially impressive without all the tables. I was impressed by this building. It was lovely inside and out. The location on Main Street is awesome, too, with tons of parking on Main and the side streets, and so many fun shops, coffee houses and restaurants nearby.

This magical space provided everything we needed--a spacious private outdoor area with ample room for dining tables, a buffet, and relaxation zones. The space was already so stunning - full of flowers and art- that we hardly needed additional decorations! Inside was equipped with washrooms, a well-stocked bar and a large hall which we used for the party. We are deeply grateful to Martyna, who assisted us with her friendly, responsible, and kind manner. She put in a lot of effort to ensure that our day unfolded exactly as we envisioned. Overall, we couldn't be more thankful and thrilled about our experience at the Beaumont Studio.

The venue itself was spacious, clean, and bright. This venue, more than any others we viewed in Vancouver, has a renewed fresh look to it, with beautiful flooring and ceilings as well as plenty of natural lighting. The food was excellent (even for those who don't commonly eat Indian food) and something our guests raved about after the event. We would absolutely book with South Hall again for a future event!

The theater space is nice, the whole facility is clean, the folks are all great, and we had a good time. I had a chuckle at the underground parking (which is a huge lot). The first hour is free although it is posted that you HAVE to get a ticket regardless. Every other hour is 75 cents. So for three hours of parking it was $1.50. You can argue that at such a place you shouldn't have to pay at all - but I happily paid. The first time I felt I wasn't getting ripped off for parking.
