Here are some of our favourite BC wedding venues! In this blog venues are sorted first by region and then by type of environment (forest, city, mountain views, ocean views, farm etc.)
For more details on specific regions, including photos of venues we've shot at recently check out these blogs:
Choosing a venue that you love is so important because it will set the scene and the backdrop for all your photos! Some venues have great areas where you can get ready, do your portraits and wedding party photos, ceremony and reception all in one place. While others you may need to consider what else is near by if you'll want to get ready at home, book an airbnb, or go to another location for photos.
Sea to Sky
The sea to sky region is known for gorgeous mountain views and lush west coast forest. The Sea to Sky region is consistently one of our favourites to shoot in because the natural beauty is incredible, and can be the focal point of both your ceremony and reception. This area really shows you that you don't need to do a hiking elopement to get big mountain views!
Whistler, BC
Squamish, BC
Vancouver + North Shore
City venues! The convenience of a city wedding is perfect especially if you are having a lot of guests travel from out of town for your wedding. Having lots of accomodation options, resturants and things to do near by your venue is exactly what your out of town guests want to see. These venues have indoor spaces for receptions, and many have the option for an outdoor spaces for part or all of your day. Getting married in the city doesn't have to mean all your photos have to be urban, there are many beautiful beaches, gardens and forests nearby for portraits.
