Stanley Park Pavilion
Planning a wedding in Vancouver next year? Rain or shine, the Stanley Park Pavilion is a gorgeous venue to say ‘I do!’
We love working with couples and bringing their vision to life at any venue, but the Stanley Park Pavilion is one of our favourites. Gorgeous inside and out, your garden party dream wedding really comes to life with this venue. You’ve seen how beautiful the fall colours are in Stanley Park, just imagine them during your ceremony. This is a fantastic venue choice no matter what time of the year it is.

One great thing about the Stanley Park Pavilion is the neutral colour palette you get to play with. Have fun with vibrant floral colours, table settings, and bridesmaid dresses! Natural light, the best park in Canada, endless views, central location, and more will greet you and your guests.
This venue is also a wonderful option if you’re looking for a smaller wedding. Although we’ve been to a few huge weddings here, (and trust us when we say there is room!) it is such a great spot for an intimate ceremony. Plus, you have options…we love options.

Most couples don’t know that the Stanley Park Pavilion offers a few different spots for your wedding day. There is the Lord Stanley Ballroom that we have the most experience with. It is a gorgeous, vintage blank space that seats up to 180 guests or 250 for standing style receptions. There is the Tea Room, which according to their website comes complete with ‘a wood burning fireplace and a full service bar, seats 60 and is perfect for more intimate gatherings.’ Click the link above for more photos there!
Of course, you have to take advantage of Stanley Park’s beautiful gardens and have your ceremony outside! Your options include The Formal Gardens and Side Lawn where you can host ceremonies of all sizes. They even sit large parties of 250 guests, so you’re not leaving anyone out on your special day.
What we love about The Stanley Park Pavilion is you get the best of both worlds. It is just a few minutes outside of downtown Vancouver, so super easy for your guests to get to. Yet, you still get your gorgeous and private garden wedding.
