THE CRYSTAL PALACE
The Crystal Palace, in the heart of Downtown Heritage Perth on the Tay Basin, is a three-season glass enclosure available for special event rentals. The Palace is located on Colborne Street, with a separate washroom building adjacent and ample parking, just a block away from Stewart Park. The International Friendship Fountains add a special flare to the backdrop, whether through the day or when lit up at night.
With a total of 4,560 sq. ft., the Palace can accommodate most wedding receptions. It can be licenced (by a Special Occasion Permit) by the renter for an occupancy of 380, depending on season and lay-out.
The Crystal Palace is occupied by the Perth Farmers' Market every Saturday morning between Mother's Day and Thanksgiving weekends. It's available after 2:30pm on Saturdays and on other dates, based on availability.
The Town of Perth rents the building empty and clean - a blank canvas, waiting to be transformed by your imagination! The renter must provide all tables, chairs, decorations, catering, bar, sound system, etc. Prior to your event, proof of insurance and a Special Occasion Permit will be required by the Town. Ample GFI electrical outlets are available, as well as radiant gas heat (for an extra charge) during the shoulder seasons. Air conditioning is not available.
Please call ahead to discuss availability and other details before planning your event.
