Esquimalt Gorge Park Pavillion

Create memories with us.

You’ll find the region’s newest event venue and historic Japanese gardens ten minutes from downtown Victoria. The Gorge Park Pavilion features remarkable Japanese-inspired architecture to complement the pristine gardens and natural setting.

The Pavilion is tucked away in Esquimalt Gorge Park—a large park that blends open green space, forested natural beauty, and the popular Gorge Waterway. The venue is a wonderful space for weddings, vow renewals, celebrations of life, conferences, reunions, meetings, or any special occasion.

Sitting at 6000+ sq ft, the Pavilion covers two floors, both with stunning views of the water.
The lower floor opens to a large patio and the upper floor holds two balconies; the largest is 500 ft. and overlooks the Japanese gardens.

The building boasts an impressive second-floor banquet hall with breathtaking cedar beams and panoramic views of the Gorge Waterway.

Each floor contains 3000 sq ft of rentable space that holds 120 guests in banquet seating. Service for your event is made easier with a dedicated servery that includes prep counters, a residential fridge, range, dishwasher, and sink. Each floor has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the park and water.
