As a wedding photographer, I get to see a lot of fantastic wedding venues in Vancouver. From jaw-dropping scenery to cozy historic houses, this city has them all. When trying to figure out the right place for your wedding, all these choices can become overwhelming. Here’s a list of some of my favorite venues I’ve worked with to help you feel inspired.
Nine Unique Vancouver Wedding Venues
Brock House
Brock House has a little bit of something for everyone. This historic house was built in 1912 and now hosts some of Vancouver’s most fabulous weddings. This venue is a prime choice for midsize weddings with a garden tent, rentable rooms, and luscious spaces. With indoor and outdoor ceremony options, delectable food, and gorgeous scenery, Brock House is sure to have exactly what you want.
Cecil Green Park House
Cecil Green Park House feels more like a castle than a wedding venue! This Tudor-style house has unlimited options for planning your big day. Whether you’re looking for an intimate indoor wedding or a raucous outdoor party for up to 200 people, this house gives you options. By scheduling only one event per day, this venue is incredibly adaptable. Should the weather grow inclement, just move the party inside! With wonderful food covered by Vancouver’s Sage Catering and incredible views of the lush gardens, Cecil Green Park House is a charming venue option for any wedding.
Fairmont Waterfront Hotel
The famous Fairmont Waterfront Hotel is an excellent option for anyone searching for an indoor wedding space with tons of amenities. A fixture of the community since 1907, this venue offers options for any elegant wedding. The hotel’s Terrace Herb Garden is lovely for smaller events and post-ceremony pictures. Larger Vancouver weddings will come alive in the hotel’s Waterfront Ballroom venue. With grand crystal chandeliers, fantastic food, and an attentive waitstaff, your day will be perfect.
Riverside Banquet Halls
Riverside Banquet Halls is the ideal spot for the creative eye. The venue offers space to host up to 250 guests and allows countless customizations. My favorite thing about this venue is the potential. While it starts as an empty space, you’re able to bring it to life with unique touches that will match your style. The venue features various menus and delicious desserts. With their help, you’ll create the wedding venue you want in the heart of Vancouver.
