Yorath House

Yorath House in Edmonton offers a historic river valley rental venue ideal for retreats, weddings, and community events in a peaceful park setting. Located in Buena Vista Park beside Sir Wilfrid Laurier Park and the Edmonton Valley Zoo, this redeveloped 1949 residence is believed to be one of the few remaining homes on the river flats. As part of the Buena Vista/Sir Wilfrid Laurier Park Master Plan, it blends heritage character with modern function for gatherings of all kinds. The two-storey house features a main floor event space, a second-floor multi-purpose room with a large terrace, a second-floor meeting room with a smaller terrace, and a spacious outdoor meadow. This flexible layout gives guests room to connect indoors and out, with easy access to Edmonton’s river valley trails and green space.
