Essence Event Centre

Some rooms are designed simply to hold a party. Others are designed to make an entrance.

At essence Event Centre, a signature light display descends dramatically from a two-storey penthouse ceiling, giving a celebration a sense of theatre the moment guests walk in.

The venue is located inside Canad Inns Destination Centre Garden City in north Winnipeg, surrounded by ample parking and close to major routes.

essence is a modern, all-ages space with dynamic multi-level seating. It can accommodate approximately 168 seated guests, or up to 730 for a standing reception, which makes it well suited to a lively evening celebration.

Like the other Canad Inns Event Centres, it offers full-service bar options, advanced audio visual capabilities, premium lighting and sound, and complimentary Wi-Fi. A dedicated Event Centre team works one-on-one with hosts to plan the details.

Because the venue sits within a hotel, guests can stay close by, with Aaltos, Tavern United and an indoor pool and waterslide in the same building.

For couples who want a striking, modern room with dramatic lighting and space for a crowd, essence Event Centre offers a celebration that feels like an event from the first moment.
