Dwight Hall

Dwight Hall has gathered people in Powell River since 1927, and nearly a century of celebrations gives a wedding here a sense of occasion before the room is even dressed.

Designed by architect John McIntyre in the Tudor Revival style, the hall keeps its original arched ceilings, recessed wood-panel walls and long banks of windows that fill the space with natural light.

At the heart of the building is a ballroom with a refurbished 5,000-square-foot hardwood sprung dance floor, the kind of floor that invites everyone up once the speeches are done.

The hall can accommodate up to 400 people, making it a fit for a large guest list and a lively reception.

A dedicated stage, dressing rooms, an adjoining dining space and a kitchen support the celebration, giving room for preparations, dinner, music and speeches.

Dwight Hall regularly hosts weddings, along with private parties, company functions, concerts and community events, and bookings are handled through Powell River Parks, Recreation and Culture.

There is something lovely about beginning a new chapter in a room that has held generations of local memories, where the old wood and wide windows frame a new set of dances.

For couples who want a historic hall with a grand dance floor and space for everyone they love, Dwight Hall offers a Powell River celebration with character built into every wall.
