History
In the early 1900s, numerous sawmills, gristmills, canneries and distilleries operated in Vernon. The presence of the Skanandoa Creek for power and major rail service led to the development of the area. Wards Canning Company, located at 1 Ward Street, shut down after years of operation, but in 2016, wedding professionals in the local area envisioned the huge potential of the building's classic design and refurbished it for use as a wedding venue.

Such a picture perfect day!

The cannery is an amazing place to celebrate your special day! The team listened to everything we wanted and the day was so perfect. I couldn't imagine having a more perfect day. Heather, our wedding coordinator, was the absolute best. Everything I needed she was right there to get it for me. From setting up my special memorial table and chair of my father who passed away, to bringing me hors d'oeuvres and helping me fix my dress, she was always there with a helping hand. I couldn't have asked for a better coordinator! Thank you so much to everyone at the cannery and of course Heather for making our day so beautiful! 🤍🤍

Tyiesha was the best wedding coordinator! We truly we so lucky to have assigned to us. She took care of our wedding as it was her own. Whenever we reached out to her with questions or ideas she was on top of it. On our wedding day I reached out to her asking if she could move a few things around without hesitation Ty told us she’d take care of it. Sure enough when we arrived it was done perfectly. With her stress that we had was relieved. Her interaction with our families and friends were so warm. Everyone had nothing but nice things to say about her. Our wedding was a huge success and we owe it to her!!!
