Vancouver wedding venue: Heritage Mansion

Imagine if your Vancouver wedding venue was a gorgeous heritage mansion. Imagine having the entire, sprawling heritage mansion to yourself, including the beautifully manicured garden, the various rooms, the huge fireplace area…

Imagine if this Vancouver wedding venue was only a couple of blocks from a fabulous beach with some of the best sunset views in town — (perfect for your photos!).

Well… the stunning heritage mansion in this photo offers all of the above.

But here’s the catch. You won’t find this Vancouver wedding venue listed in any online wedding directories (except ours ;)  You won’t find mention of this Vancouver wedding venue among all the hotels, golf courses, and recognizable wedding venue names out there.

And that’s because this heritage mansion isn’t in the habit of doing weddings all the time. But YES, they do host weddings! And they can offer the PERFECT set-up for your intimate, elegant, family-style but formal event. Along with a fabulous outdoor garden area — perfect for your ceremony or pre-dinner drinks.

The key when finding your perfect Vancouver wedding venue is to think creatively. Approach places that don’t necessarily advertise themselves as wedding venues, first and foremost.

There are some really beautiful and unique Vancouver wedding venues, but I have to say that one of my absolute favourites is one that is truly unique in so many ways…

• First, because this Vancouver wedding venue is literally hidden in the midst of a bustling, noisy, urban part of town — yet it feels remote, tranquil, beautiful, and peaceful.
• Second, because the bustling part of town I’m referring to is one of the most interesting areas in all of Vancouver, and of great cultural significance to our city and its people.
• And third, because people from all walks of life will be astounded by the breathtaking beauty and intricacy of this stunning Vancouver wedding venue.
