As a wedding planner, I’m always on the lookout for new spaces to add to my list of top wedding venues in Vancouver. And since the city lends itself to so many different styles—indoor, outdoor, historic, intimate—there’s never a shortage of options!

In this post, I’m so excited to share my favourite Vancouver venues. From restaurants and hotels to heritage buildings and unusual spaces, there’s a place to match every wedding’s aesthetic.
