Providence Academy

Providence Academy is a historic event venue in downtown Vancouver, Washington, offering three rentable spaces — the Chapel, the Ballroom, and the outdoor Plaza — available individually or together. The Ballroom seats up to 225 guests theater-style with additional rental chairs and includes a stage, high ceilings, large windows, and artist-painted columns, making it suited to wedding receptions, fundraisers, graduations, and corporate events. The Chapel, with stained-glass windows and intricate woodwork, is used for wedding ceremonies, memorial services, and music performances, and rental includes access to two preparation suites for getting ready before an event. The Plaza is an outdoor courtyard available as an add-on to a Ballroom rental, suited to cocktail hours or casual mingling. Rentals include round, rectangular, and bistro tables with padded chairs set up by on-site event staff, a bar structure, a catering prep kitchen, Wi-Fi, a podium, easels, heating and air conditioning, and indoor restrooms. Audiovisual equipment — a built-in projector and screen, two projection TVs, wireless microphones, and a Bluetooth sound system — is available for an additional fee. The building, an iconic Vancouver landmark holding the history of Clark County, sits less than a mile from downtown Vancouver and the Vancouver waterfront, with easy access to Interstate 5 and Highway 14 and free on-site parking.
