Brian JonesBlasting In Da Club in the backyard that can barely fit 10 guests isn’t exactly how you throw a birthday bash people will talk about.
You need a location that can match the celebration’s scale, and that’s something only a proper venue can achieve. After all, nothing kills a mood quicker than a crammed party where you have to play as the host, cleaner, organiser, caterer, and celebrant at once.
With that said, the locations below have the space and features built for big days.
How much does it cost to rent a birthday party venue in Edmonton?
The average cost of renting a party birthday venue in Edmonton is $175 per hour, with $150 as the cheapest and $200 as the priciest.
Beyond capacity and size, the total cost is also shaped by factors such as property features and rental length. Some venues also set a minimum booking time, typically an hour or two.
1. The Creative Hive
Address: 16819 111 Ave NW
Contact Details: +1 780-996-7510
Operating Hours: Daily – 9 am to 5 pm
Travel Time from the Edmonton CBD: 22 mins
Pricing: $150–$250 per hour
You have two main options at The Creative Hive: book one of its two spaces, or mash both together, unlocking 5,300 sq ft of breathing room.
The industrial warehouse design adds to the modular setup’s flexibility. Apart from providing a stunner of a backdrop and tons of natural light, it’s neutral enough to be customised to your liking.
One minor downside of that “blank-slate” arrangement is you must put more effort into styling the place up.
Barely any need to scramble for any extras, though, as rentals include access to parking, AV/PA systems, and projectors.
Clients with bigger budgets can even pay more for catering options or Hive Media, a full production crew that can turn events into story-driven videos. Renting out these photo booths can dial up the fun, too.
Just don’t leave booking till the last minute. The Creative Hive’s calendar is quite packed; many communities host their networking events here.
Friendly attitude
I hosted my daughter’s bridal shower @ The Hive last weekend, and it was the best experience I’ve ever had with a venue. Dez & her team accommodated all of my requests/adjustments and stressors by being gracious & beyond helpful! The event exceeded all of our expectations in large part due to their warm & friendly attitude! We loved it & will definitely host future events here!

2. Amaleena Events
Address: 10149 34 Ave NW
Contact Details: +1 780-777-7764
Operating Hours: Daily – 8 am to 1 am
Travel Time from the Edmonton CBD: 20 mins
Pricing: $180 per hour
Celebrants expecting around 150 guests might want to give Amaleena Events a shot. The adaptable venue’s 4,000 sq ft hall is definitely built for that number.
Personally, what I like most is how they work closely with celebrants from planning through execution. Past clients say the same, with one summing up the provider as “warm, attentive, and genuinely invested.” But be warned: consults aren’t free.
Something else worth noting is the venue’s accessibility features. The majority of its entrances, parking spaces, and restrooms are meant to support guests of all abilities.
You’re looking at a single main hall commonly booked on weekends as well. Be quick to reserve.
Fortunately, caterers have on-site kitchens to use, which helps avoid food prep delays.
Great people
A great place for events, hosted my birthday there and let me tell you perfect space, great people, loved talking to the owner. Overall will be hosting my birthday again🤍

From start to finish, the team exceeded every expectation we had. Service: The service was absolutely outstanding.

Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was. It truly elevated the entire event and added such a special touch. Management: Management deserves a special shout-out.

Their attention to detail and commitment to quality showed through every step of the process.

3. The Backyard
Address: 10004 103a Ave NW
Contact Details: [email protected]
Travel Time from the Edmonton CBD: 1 min
Pricing: $250 per hour
The Backyard’s total area spans 7,000 sq ft, giving it enough space to host a banquet with 406 guests or a party with 505 standing revellers.
It’s not exclusively for large shindigs, if that’s what you’re thinking. We’re talking about an uber-flexible venue for both small and major celebrations here.
Where it stands out is in hosting open-air and community-driven parties. And they make sure to hire Edmonton-based businesses to provide the food, drinks, and entertainment.
There’s also a pop-up kiosk made of a modular sea-can structure, which can be turned into a bar, a themed lounge, a stage, or whatever function your party needs.
Clients and past event-goers, however, raised concerns about the sound quality. One aspect that’s often criticised is the overly loud volume.
And while rare, a couple mentioned discomfort with the nearby environment and isolated incidents involving the guests’ cars getting vandalised.
The open-air environment adds a unique charm
This fully outdoor venue is a true gem in the city, offering an ambiance that is both vibrant and relaxing. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with top-notch service. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that every guest felt welcome and well taken care of. Their professionalism and warmth truly set the tone for the evening. The music at The Backyard is simply phenomenal. With a lineup of talented DJs, the atmosphere was electric. The beats were perfectly curated to keep the energy high and the dance floor packed. Whether you’re a fan of house, techno, or any other genre, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. One of the standout features of this venue is its outdoor setting. The open-air environment adds a unique charm, allowing guests to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful surroundings while dancing the night away. It’s the perfect spot for those who love to socialize and enjoy great music under the stars. Overall, The Backyard exceeded all my expectations. The combination of excellent service, fantastic music, and a stunning outdoor venue makes it a must-visit destination.

4. LAST Modern Event Venue
Address: 10242 106 St
Contact Details: +1 780-995-8927
Operating Hours: Mon to Fri – 10 am to 5 pm
Travel Time from the Edmonton CBD: 4 mins
Pricing: Starts at $3,250 per event
For us, LAST Modern Event Venue is best described as “intimate” and “inviting.” Its concept layout flows with soft lines, black accents, a 10 ft recessed arch, and chandeliers dangling from 16 ft ceilings.
The ladies behind the space are said to be pleasant to deal with, too. Those who booked them for planning and hosting assistance raved about the hands-on, patient, and compassionate support.
Your ideal date might not be available, though. This chic space is a local favourite for corporate gatherings and weddings.
Pricing is another point to consider. Versus the rates of basic halls, LAST’s may come across as expensive.
That higher cost does come with lots of perks, to be fair, mainly access to VIP parking, the in-house cafe, a customisable bar, and a seasonal patio.
Most clients also skipped extra costs for styling. As many claimed, “there’s hardly any need for extra décor.”
We received so many compliments
On behalf of Frankie Salon; We had the pleasure of hosting our first ever fashion show — FRANKIE FRONT ROW — at this venue and working closely with Sarah and her team throughout the planning process. From start to finish, their professionalism, organization, and flexibility made the experience seamless. Sarah was attentive to every detail and quick to respond, ensuring all of our needs were met and that the event ran smoothly. On the day of the show, her team was supportive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in helping us bring our vision to life. The space itself was beautiful and versatile, perfectly setting the stage for our show. We received so many compliments from our guests on both the venue and the atmosphere it created. I would highly recommend this venue and Sarah’s team to anyone planning an event, they truly go above and beyond.

I have nothing negative to report
Choosing LAST as our wedding venue was singlehandedly the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. The space allowed for unrestricted creativity and made our wedding space truly feel like our own. Sarah and her team were a dream to work with from day 1 – kind, compassionate, community-minded, and accessible. The layout also allowed us to provide unique spaces, including an intimate dance floor adjacent to an open patio! I have nothing negative to report and would recommend this space and team to absolutely anyone. Thank you so much LAST!

5. We Rock The Spectrum Edmonton
Address: 4152 99 St NW
Contact Details: +1 780-450-2282
Operating Hours:
- Mon to Fri – 2 pm to 7 pm
- Sat – 10 am to 7 pm
- Sun – 9 am to 3 pm
Pricing: $400–$900 for a 2-hour slot
Travel Time from the Edmonton CBD: 17 mins
If you’re looking for an inclusive, sensory-based gym for a child’s birthday party, We Rock The Spectrum is a sensible choice. The kiddos get to explore a no-judgment play space here.
Open Play is the standout area. It has swings, zip lines, climbing structures, crash mats, and sensory toys for supporting both cognitive and physical development.
Once the kids need some downtime from that, there’s a dedicated room for managing overstimulation.
Pricing-wise, it’s not a bad spend, since you’re paying for two hours of gym access, and setting up and clean-up services. The multi-tier model also gives more flexibility for budgeting and payments.
Our biggest gripe? Catering isn’t part of the deal either. Only the Rock Unique package includes two boxes of pizza. The upside is that guests may bring their own food and non-alcoholic beverages.
It can get booked out too, so reserving at least two weeks in advance is highly suggested…or you can switch to these equally banging venues for children’s parties.
Super friendly owners
We have been coming to WRTS Edmonton for over a year and a half, and our kids are always happy to be back. The way how everything is laid out, the fun toys, and the super friendly owners and staff make this place our kids’ favourite. I would encourage all parents, regardless if your child is neurodiverse or neurotypical, to visit We Rock The Spectrum Edmonton. I know they’ll fall in love with it!

We’ll definitely be back
Brought my 9 month old here for some playtime and we had a blast! The staff were wonderful. Everything was so clean and there were bins for stashing toys the babies had chewed on. So many different play areas to chose from, including one for babies and toddlers that’s enclosed. The sensory room was lovely. There are tables for crafts as well as big equipment like swings and zip line. Something for everyone and all ages. We’ll definitely be back! Just be aware the don’t sell food but they do have an area to eat if you bring your own.
