Rent an outdoor wedding venue in Vancouver, BC

Vancouver is also known as Rain City but that doesn't mean that outdoor events are impossible to hold. An outdoor wedding takes a bit more planning but is all the more enjoyable when the weather cooperates - or your backup pavilion is already set up! Vancouver wedding event planners and venues understand how to hold successful outdoor ceremonies.
You'll find venues to match any scale or budget. Intimate micro weddings can be held on rooftop courtyards or patios and grand weddings for hundreds of guests are held each year on the decks of party boats and inside the local botanical gardens. Outdoor weddings can also be held at any of the retreat centers in the mountains and islands surrounding the city. Imagine saying your vows in a quiet, secluded grove framed by mountains…What kind of outdoor wedding have you been dreaming of?

Garden weddings are all the rage. And the VanDusen Botanical Gardens is one of the nicest in the city. You'll have your choice of several venues, including the Floral Hall and Cedar Room. Extra packages also include full access to the garden grounds for an unforgettable experience for guests and the couple. The UBC Botanical Garden also has space for outdoor weddings, with complimentary access to the entire grounds and one-year memberships for the bride and groom. Vancouver's urban garden spaces combine the convenience of being located in the middle of the city with the natural elements many couples prefer over an industrial or rustic wedding.
The Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden is another local favorite for outdoor weddings. 19th-century Ming architecture, rock sculptures, bonsai trees, jade colored ponds, and abundant natural light provide endless opportunities for memorable wedding photos. It's one of the best venues in Vancouver to host a traditional Chinese wedding.

Sometimes you want the best of both the indoor and outdoor world. Or a backup plan in case rain is likely. In that case, semi-outdoor venues are your best option. One of our favorites is Stanley Park Pavilion. This local hotspot is much closer to downtown than other venues with a similarly secluded feel. The Park offers multiple indoor and outdoor venues, including The Formal Gardens and Side Lawn, which hosts up to 250 guests. If you want to take the party indoors after the ceremony, consider the Lord Stanley Ballroom, Stanley's Bar & Grill, or The Tea Room for further festivities.
