Best Accommodation For Weddings Vancouver Near Me

Jay Joyce '74: Disappointing at best...My wife and I stayed as part of a Regent Cruise Lines off-ship Vancouver excursion. We have stayed at various Fairmont hotels in the past, and always had a great experience.Not this time.After the first evening, we went to breakfast with what we thought was plenty of time to spare. Upon arrival at the Notch8 maitre d's desk, we were told it would be a 15-20 minute wait for the breakfast buffet - even though we could see numerous empty seats in the dining room. They explained they were short-staffed. I asked to see the hotel manager, and only the desk manager was present. I expressed my concern, and said that at a minimum, we should have been told when we checked into the hotel to expect delays in breakfast service (because we had a morning time commitment). He was not aware of the problem. When I said that I would like to speak with the General Manager about the problem, he indicated that the GM had not yet arrived, and he did not know when he would. However, he said that he would have the GM contact me. The GM never contacted me.The make-up mirror light in our room was not working upon arrival. The next morning (same day as the breakfast problem) I stopped by the Front Desk, and the receptionist logged in the problem and said they would have it fixed that day. When we arrived back in our room that evening, it still had not been fixed. I called and they said that someone would be up to fix it. An hour later no one had appeared, and I called again. Same response - they'd get someone up to fix it. An hour later, after no one appeared, I went to bed.Next Day - breakfast - no problem - they had opened more space, leading me to wonder why they could not have seated us at an empty seat the day before...?At 8:15 AM, asked to see the manager to discuss my concerns; same desk manager appeared and said that GM was not in yet. I told him about the lack of response regarding the maintenance problem, and that the GM had not contacted me the day before. Polite reaction, but no actionable response on his part. When we left the hotel at 8:30, the GM had still not arrived.We were told by one of the dining staff team that there have been recent cuts in hours. How can this be possible if you're already not providing the level of service that Fairmont guests have come to expect?After three visits to Vancouver over several years - all at Fairmont Hotels - we will NOT stay at this hotel again, and not recommend it to others.

Taylor Rockefeller: Stayed here with my husband and 2 young kids. Very kid friendly without being a "kid" hotel. Room service food was average,and our bathroom was a little small, but the staff was all 10/10 fantastic. We can't wait to stay here again, either as a romantic getaway or as a family-friendly option. Great location with city views. I can't compliment the staff or environment here enough!

Mitchell Edwards: Beautiful Hotel with tons of history.Super friendly and helpful staff.Defiantly recommebd

Geraldine Henry: Our whole trip was a positive experience from before we arrived; to bellhop service, to extra assistance required with AC and figuring out amenities. Our breakfast before departure was top notch. Each staff member was kind and courteous. Thank you for helping us make the most of our little trip for our kids soccer. We always look forward to our time here. Thank you!Safety: Options for shopping and dining our were all close by. It is nice to have the downtown core experience and be safe and comfortable.Walkability: Excellent location for making the most of our time here.Food & drinks: Always love the quality of care that goes into our food while we are here.

Bernard Beck Jr: Had a fantastic stay at this beautiful hotel as we were getting ready to depart for a cruise. Staff was AMAZING. Will Lin took exceptional care of us during check-in, and was readily available with any assistance that we required during our stay, including being most professional in always calling us by name. The bell and parking staff were also extremely polite and professional. A ten minute walk to the pier and convention center, this location is near anything that you would require including a massive amount of restaurants and bars.The room was fantastic, clean, and we were fortunate (thanks to Will Lin) to get a room with an awesome view of the port.

Matteo Bocci: 4,5 stars. I spent five nights in this hotel for a business meeting. It is impressive how this huge hotel is run in a seemingly effortless fashion. Everything was really good. My room was spacious, clean, with an excellent view. The bed incredibly comfortable, and the service almost impeccable. The only minor point I believe can be improved is the coverage and speed of the Wi-Fi connection. Perfectly located, really convenient to walk pretty much anywhere in the city. Thank you for having me & looking forward to another stay!

Mehsam Sunny: Funny place to work at. They don't hire many people from south America , Asia, middle East , Russia to work in front office , guest services, restaurants and servers.

Rebecca Milson: Absolutely beautiful hotel. Room was very luxurious with everything you could think of. Staff were professional but not friendly with a smile. Which is unusual for Canada

Simon W.: Excellent space, friendly staff, and beautiful views of downtown. Perfect for the business event we hosted!

Edward Zhang: Awesome experience beautiful patio. Sunset is extravagant five stars.

Magalie R-Bazinet: The Penthouse is one of the most gorgeous venue in town. Love it there! 💝

Mahbod Tatari: Had a great night at Penthouse Event. Very professional service. I’m super happy that I could throw my Engagement Party at this amazing place. Rose and Dee are both very professional on what they’re doing and they made everything going smooth on my special night. I would definitely recommend this amazing place.

Luis Aello: Venue: 10/10Service: 10/10Hostess: 100/10Amazing staff, went better than I expected.Highly recommended

Ryan & Shalyne Bond: We hosted our 10th anniversary party here and enjoyed the location and staff so much, we booked and hosted my parents 50th anniversary party 6 months later! We appreciated their flexibility and how we could to tailor the event to what we wanted. For the first party we brought and barbecued our own food. The staff offered and used their serving utensils and dishes. For the second party we used their catering and the food was delicious.For the first party we had our own DJ. For the second party we used a playlist, and we also had a zoom call using their A/V system. We also really appreciated being able to bring our own alcohol to have available what our guests wanted to drink, and to keep costs down.My parents arrived very early (much earlier than the party start time) yet were welcomed beautifully. They had wheelchair accommodation which was an important feature that we needed. There was ample street parking and some of our guests used the Skytrain which they said was easy.Can’t say enough about how awesome the staff were. From the guest check-in downstairs to the bartender to the hosts, everyone was friendly and so helpful. It was a real treat not to lift a finger or have to monitor everything. We really were able to just enjoy ourselves as guests. All our needs were met!

Julie Zhu: AWESOME experience!! Definitely recommended. Rose helped coordinate the event with me and it was a great time. Everyone at the party had an unforgettable experience! Plan your next big party here!

Romer Aquino: I did like the space for it, good enough to fit 30 guests dining. What I really liked was the rooftop views and the fire heater they had outside. Staff was very helpful and always active throughout the event. The floors were very sticky, good thing the music was on so you couldn't hear everyone's shoes.

Victoria Chomicki: They were in all the details for our Christmas Staff Party. The place had Christmas decorations which was a nice touch and all the requests we made were there the night of the event.Super nice and helpful staff and the venue also had a terrace with seatings, some blankets, heating and lights!Would definitely choose this venue again!

sogol zaimi: I had my 40th birthday here and everything was beyond my expectations. Everything turned out fabulous from decor, food, service and drinks. The venue itself is gorgeous, perfect for bday, engagement, baby or bridal showers. The staff is wonderful and very accommodating. All the guest were well taken care of. Thank you for a memorable night! Will be back again!

Nojan Abrary: We hosted a birthday celebration at this venue and it was an amazing experience. Our guests loved the venue and everyone had a great time. The location and the VIEWS from the patio are unbelievable. We worked with Rose who was a consummate professional from the very start, during the event and final clean up. Her involvement took away a lot of the concerns of “did we forget anything”. All in all I highly recommend this venue for a special celebration!

Cathy Cena: We had my son's 30th birthday here and it was exquisite! The staff was awesome to work with - Rose was fantastic as was the owner. Everything ran smoothly and it could not have been a better day. If you are looking for a rooftop experience and event this is the place to be.

anonymouse kitchen: This venue is awesome, staff is very professional and preparation is top notch. Would recommend to anyone. Our guest love it.

sukhi sidhu: First of all BIG thanks to ROSE and Dee for organizing my wedding reception. Staff was friendly. All members of management and staff at penthouse were great at communication. I would definitely book this venue for my future events. Venue has beautiful setup outside & inside such as sofas, tables, chairs, centre pieces and so many other decor pieces to add on to tables.I would recommended this place for all types of events.Great view and lights as well.

Mona Shirkhani: It was amazing place for your big day .everything decorated so beautiful and modern special lighting at night. I love rose who is the manager of this wonderful place. She is so kind, patient and responsible about her job. I recommend u 1000 times 😊 Literally they made me so satisfied.

Sandeep Jain: It was a wonderful experience to have my close friend’s celebrations at Terminal Ave penthouse on August 2nd where I was the host .The decor was great & the staff service was impeccable. I would especially like to thank Ms Rose - the event Manager who was available every time I had a question before the event and she handled the event so well that I cannot thank her enough and I wish I could have given 7 stars here - I will highly recommend this place for small to moderate gatherings of 40-60 people

Bao Tu: Beautifully set venue with even better staff! We've hosted multiple event gatherings here and this venue always has what it takes to make those evenings the most special! This venue has a wonderful outdoor view of the Vancity skyline as well as interior amenities to keep your guest continually entertained. Rose and her staff always go above and beyond to keep all of the guests happy and they are always so pleasant to deal with. Looking forward to booking again.

Sarah O'Brien: We had our wedding here Aug 6/22 and it could not have been more perfect! All our guests loved the venue. The views, the decor, the large plants, the outdoor lighting, all created a very magical vibe.Then there's the staff! Wow!!! Every single person was so lovely, friendly & professional. I was able to just enjoy the day while they took care of everything around me.This team knows what they are doing and you will be in good hands. We definitely recommend!!!!

Robert Craig: Hosted a very successful summer wedding at this venue. Very impressed with not only the venue but the attentive and supportive staff.They communicated extremely well and helped provide an amazing wedding experience at sunset complete with catering and set up. I couldn't be happier. I would 100% recommend this venue and will likely book here for birthdays in the future.

Rashminder Kaur Sandhu: This is an excellent venue located near science world. You will have access to a beautiful view both indoors and outdoors. Its definitely more worth than the price you pay. The whole team was very helpful and was available for assistance at any time. They went out of the way to help set up my decorations even though they didn’t have too. If I didn’t have the team to help me with my arrangements, I wouldn’t have been able to set up the baby shower on time like the way I had envisioned. You will have access to bar tender, servers, helpers, table decor, cutlery, and catering along with the venue access. Make sure you book with them because it will definitely be worth it. Again I would like to thank Dee and Rose for their wonderful service and support. I really appreciate it!!! Can’t wait to do another event at this wonderful place ☺️

Deborah Borrowman: Second year staying here for our Anniversary. Love this hotel! Requested top floor and was accomadated. Pleasantly surprised by complimentary strawberries dipped in chocolate in the room. View was amazing and the room was awesome! Staff are very friendly and helpful. Had drinks and a snack in The Lobby restaurant/lounge, also wonderful, as was their staff. We'll definitely be coming back, again!!

Sharzi BD: The Aperolspritz here was so good as well as the quality of the food!But the staff were not friendly and welcoming there at all unfortunately!

Franziska Bernhard: Schönes modernes Hotel an guter Lage.

Alok Garg: Excellently located hotel on Pier. No buffet breakfast facilities & car parking charges additionally are not appreciated. Otherwise rooms are quite spacious & well maintained for short stay.

Dimicia Speck: GREAT LOCATION, GREAT STAFF, TERRIBLE BEDS! We had stayed at this location before for four nights and it was great, however our friends who were in other rooms were upset at how uncomfortable their beds were. We didn't understand, ours was great! Super comfy. I decided to book the top floor suite with a semi-private terrace this weekend for my wife's bday. The view was amazing! The hotel kindly left an amenity of a plate of chocolate covered strawberries, really nice to be welcomed with a nice gift for her bday. Although the terrace had two sides, it felt very private, no one else came to our side and we were able to dine on and drink morning coffee on the deck. The pool is huge, well maintained, and the hot tub was nice too. Only down side is the showers were far too hot we couldn't shower afterwards (it was scalding temperature!) but we just rinsed off in the room instead. However the bed was soooo uncomfortable, I finally understood what our friends were going on about the last time. The pillows were large and uncomfortable too. So much so that I had to ditch them in the middle of the night and roll up a towel to use instead. We were both up all night with sore backs and necks. Today my neck hurts so bad I can barely turn it. My wife is almost 7 months pregnant, so the hard bed made her hips sore all night and she could not get comfortable. We did not sleep well at all despite the room being so quiet (the hotel overall was super quiet). When we checked out, I mentioned this to the front desk after they asked how the stay was, and she comp'd our parking fee ($30) and our food bill ($20) ..so that helped make up for our poor sleep. Had that not happened, I probably would have given 3 stars based on that bed alone, I hope they throw it away lol. Now I know for next time to test the beds here before we settle in, because a poor bed=poor sleep can really make or break the staycation. Definitely plan to return, you can't beat the views, staff, pool, and cleanliness.

Elisse Hansen: Hotel was OK, room was mediocre but the view was great.It’s about a 3/10 for privacy if you have an adjoining door to another room. Nothing was sound proofed there.By the time we left there was a pretty noticeable amount of fuzz on the top of all the furniture which we had been breathing in for 2 days.. don’t know where it came from and the parkade is pretty much only for small cars

Helen Vlad: Lovely hotel, very clean with housekeeping on request. The room has the bathrobes, slippers, shower caps and other amenities and nail files - they are provided upon request at the reception. Coffee machine, mini fridge, microwave. Balcony! For those wishing to swim, there is a 25m heated pool and jacuzzi, sauna and stimroom. Just be aware, there are private swimming lessons at the pool from Monday to Friday. So check the time. The Restaurant with breakfasts until 11:00am on weekends, also brunch and dinner. The kitchen is quite good, as is the cappuccino. Prices - breakfasts up to $20. For member- $17 per person. There is a skating rink nearby, many good restaurants, the best donuts in the city (cream pony).

Karen Allred: Beautiful location and well appointed. Alina at the front desk was extremely helpful and pleasant. Bed was small but comfortable. Rooms are clean but worn. Low tech charging options.Unfortunately, despite being there for shipyard business, we were placed in a room surrounded by a group of loud party guests (across the hall and next to us) who slammed the heavy doors at all hours, shouted in the hallways and arrived drunk both nights in the early morning hours. We were constantly awakened by their rowdy ruckus. If you need to be up early, this may not be the place.Also, don’t leave anything behind by accident, it will never be found.Nearby activities: Highly recommend the North Vancouver Museum, biking Spirit Trail, riding the Sea Bus to the city and enjoying the shops and food nearby. Great location.Walkability: Exceptional walkability. So much to see and do in the immediate area.

Don Richards: The restaurant teams are great. The food and service is consistent and good. The desk team is also great. Knowledgeable, quick to fix issues and always accomodating. The rooms are tired and need updating for the price.Rooms: 3/5|Service: 5/5|Location: 5/5Hotel highlights Great view, Quiet …More

Carissa Chapman: We had an incredible time at this venue. All of the staff were phenomenal and it was the perfect wedding venue for us.

Dëmin Photography (Wedding Photographer): I've had the pleasure of photographing several weddings at this stunning venue in Vancouver, and I can confidently say that it's one of the best choices for a memorable wedding day. The heritage house is brimming with character and offers ample space for both indoor ceremonies and receptions. Additionally, the lush green lawn provides a perfect backdrop for larger ceremonies, especially on sunny days. One of my favourite features of this venue is the upper deck, which provides a breathtaking view of the sunset and makes for an unforgettable photo spot. I'm always excited to return to this venue and capture beautiful memories for happy couples on their special day.

Charles Armstrong: A stunning yet intimate space, Cecil Green Park House was the perfect setting for our wedding reception. Thanks to all the helpful and friendly staff as well.

Derek M: We held a reception after a funeral at Cecil Green, and it was a very nice venue for such an occasion. UBC's Sage provided the catering, and everything went very smoothly and uneventfully. Having been to Cecil Green many times over the years, it is definitely an excellent venue for all sorts of occasions - weddings, social gatherings, other celebrations, and well even funeral receptions.

Lucas Herrenbrueck: 2022 wedding here. Beautiful venue - would highly recommend on that count. Communication with venue staff was fine.Docked a point for having Sage as the exclusive caterer - see my (3★) review of Sage on their page. That said, the wedding itself was wonderful. If you're prepared for a cost overrun and a bit of micromanaging (and I suppose you are if you're planning a wedding), I'd very much recommend Cecil Green, and I'd recommend them even more enthusiastically if they offered a choice of caterer.

Cherlyn Cortes-Manderson: “THAT'S THE BEST VENUE IN VANCOUVER”. This is what a long-time event planner told my friend when she told her my wedding was going to be at the Cecil Green Park House. And I believe that she was spot on. We loved getting married and celebrating with our loved ones in a beautiful home, and many of our guests spoke about how they felt as if they were a part of one big family in the intimate and gorgeous setting of the Yorkeen dining room. We planned our wedding during what should have been a very stressful period – amidst a pandemic with evolving restrictions. But it honestly never felt that stressful and this is partly because of Gordon, Gordon, Gordon! Gordon Purchase was our person! At the time, he was our event manager and he was always there to respond to our many questions, listen to our concerns and calm us down - in the kindest way. We were also very fortunate that Cecil Green is one of the few wedding venues in Vancouver with its own covered patio. Despite some light rain, we said our I do’s outside, with a view of the Salish Sea behind us. And due to restrictions at the time, dancing and mingling wasn’t permitted inside, but because of that large patio and park-like setting, we still had cocktail hour, a foosball table, air hockey and the realization of our dream – a karaoke dance party!(photos @georgiajohnstonphotography, decor @ellssirentals, florals @jorbelinaflowers)

Kim Johnson: Great wedding venue

Wendy Li: We had our wedding at Cecil Green on Aug 12, 2022 (booked in Jul 2021) and it was everything we wanted and more! The house and grounds speak for themselves, but are even more beautiful in person. We worked with Amber as our venue coordinator and she was SO professional, friendly, patient, and helpful--answering our many questions and working to ensure that all of our details were as we wanted. We weren't involved in behind-the-scenes on the day-of, but the on-site staff we interacted with were also professional, friendly, and helpful and everything went according to plan! All in all, a fantastic experience working with Cecil Green from beginning to end and would recommend to anyone who is considering having their wedding there!

Alison C: Excellent, quick service. My questions were answered very quickly, even during prime events season via email. The ventilation stayed under 800ppm (even in the washrooms) - meaning the space is well-ventilated (note that it goes up with more people in the space), and the risks for catching airborne diseases are lowered. Delicious food and professional service from the servers. 100% recommend.

Ian Whitehead: This past Friday night was my daughter’s wedding, held at Cecil Green.Please pass along my thanks to your team, as father of the bride, for setting up this absolutely flawless event, enjoyed by all.As a member of the UBC alumni myself, as were the bride and groom, I am truly thankful to you guys for what you do.The venue is stunning, the atmosphere was perfect, the staff were so pleasant. Just a superb event.Ian Whitehead

Karen Kinna: Beautiful for a wedding reception.

Sarah G: I recently had my wedding here and it was absolutely beautiful. It is one of those types of venues where the grounds and building is already stunning so not much extra decoration is even needed. I had the best time here and I know from guest feedback that everyone also said it was so beautiful. Thank you to Amber for helping us out with everything, along with navigating the challenges with covid and postponements as well!

Olof Premkumar: Beautiful place to have a wedding or personal functions .. with catering.

Mark Lange: Beautiful place to have a wedding

Shari O'Neill: Gorgeous inside

Jenelle M: Beautiful wedding venue.

Jaime Baumgartner: So beautiful!

Felicia Laron: Working with Amber and Nicole from Cecil Green Park House has been an absolute delight. Even with Covid restrictions and ever-changing rules, they were able to accommodate us and all of our guests to allow us to have our dream wedding. Suggestions were made when needed and their communication with us throughout the entire process was great. With small hiccups in our plans, such as "no outdoor music past 9pm" and "no dancing indoors", they were able to provide us with the venue the entire day to make room for this "deal breaker" aspect of our wedding. I would definitely recommend CGPH for your upcoming wedding or special event, as everyone was so accommodating, flexible, kind-hearted, and communicative.Thank you so much for everything you have done, Amber, Nicole, and the entire CGPH staff, for making our dream wedding our reality.

Alice de Crom: A beautiful venue! As a wedding vendor it’s one of my favourite spots in the city!

arnel sulit: Accept wedding occasion. Good place. Plants are always green.

Fred Aram: A hidden gem in the centre of Vancouver. Extremely clean and comfortable hotel with super corteous and helpful staff and quality food. Loved the experience. Truley deserves 5 star.Rooms: Extremely clean and comfortable.Nearby activities: The whole night life and shopping district of Vancouver downtown.Walkability: Right in the heart of the city.Food & drinks: Great food. Fantastic breakfast. Lunch and dinner menue can enjoy more variety.

Anne F: This is a beautiful hotel with impeccable service. The staff are truly top notch.Rooms: Rooms are beautiful. Very clean. The beds are comfortable. The rooms are quiet.

Alison Fisher: We held a 2-day company workshop for 27 people in April and everything the hotel did was outstanding. This was the easiest event I have planned due to the communication and organization from the event staff. The meeting room was set up perfectly for our group and the catering over the two days was amazing. The kitchen also carefully took care of several of our attendees with food allergies. I could not find fault with anything. The service throughout the two days was 10/10. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and quiet. The hotel also arranged for our 27 guests to have dinner at Bacchus restaurant, and again, the food and service was incredible. Would I recommend the Wedgewood Hotel and Spa? Absolutely! Whether for a corporate event or for a personal getaway. We've held several events in Vancouver, and I without a doubt, we will look to book with the Wedgewood Hotel in the future.

sony pandher: good price

Peter Sedin: The bar is my go too when in Vancouver, the service is top notch, the drinks are well made and the setting is fantastic. In other words, if you have time, visit this bar!

J Larsen: The rooms here should have been renovated about 15 years ago. Who knows when and if that will ever happen, but what exists now is a mishmash of updates throughout the decades and just doesn’t feel like a luxury experience. That said, it is a comfortable boutique hotel with charm and an alternative to some of the bland box hotels in the city.

Zerlina Thompson: We just finished our Spring Break ‘Staycation’ and cannot gush enough about the service, luxury and hospitality of the Wedgwood Hotel and Spa. From the moment we checked in and was surprised with an upgrade to a palatial suite to the welcome chocolates and the turn down service and fresh cookies each night everything was 11/10! We appreciated the personal welcome by name every time we came in and out to after hours access to the steam room and lounge. We enjoyed afternoons at Bacchus even just to unwind from our busy day. Staff is lovely and helpful and that is enough reason for us to return very soon!

Preet Mudhar: I was really impressed with the service. All the staff we encountered was so friendly and made our experience that much better! The turn down service with a little treat is a nice surprise when you come back in the evening. They had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable, would definitely recommend to friends.Rooms: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Location: 5/5Hotel highlights Luxury …More

Tommy Tong: On Friday, March 10th, 2023, I decided to have a cocktail whilst waiting for a dinner reservation nearby. Whilst sitting at the bar, I witnessed Lindsay, the bartender, treating his protégé Liam in a manner that was not conducive in creating and/or nurturing a supportive environment.Imagine learning the skills required for a career in mixology during a busy Friday night at a 4-star hotel in the heart of Vancouver. If that wasn't stressful enough, imagine having to learn from someone who does NOT have your best interests in mind and makes this fact known through his ineffective communication choices.I felt so bad for Liam that I gave him a tip and thanked him for his hard work. Unlike the gratuity that I left for Lindsay, that was the best money I spent in a long time.TO MANAGEMENT:Please do not invite me to contact you with your cookie-cutter, insincere replies on Google Reviews. I won't be coming back to your establishment. This is not the first time I've had a negative experience at your bar. The 2-stars are for your cocktail creations and for the design and ambience of your decor (which I find very appealing).What a shame.

Ryan Punambolam: Three star hotel at best. Booked through AMEX fine hotels with late check out. Told the morning of check out that “we will have charge me.” Food was terrible. Saving grace is Chipotle is across the street. Lots of other better options in Vancouver with this price point.

Christopher Brumley: Great lobby. Felt welcomed at the front door. Front desk experience was ok. Room was nice and housekeeping brought us everything we needed. Prime location as well. Would recommend to anyone who likes old fashioned European style room.Rooms: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Location: 5/5 …More

ASENJO ONE VISIT DENTISTRY: Really spectacular service. Recommend it.

Dëmin Photography (Wedding Photographer): I've had the pleasure of photographing numerous weddings at Brock House Restaurant, and it remains one of my favourite venues in Vancouver. The stunning natural backdrop of mountains, ocean, and towering trees, coupled with the pristine evergreen lawn and easy access to the beach, make it an ideal location for any special occasion. Additionally, the elegant heritage building adds a touch of timeless charm to the setting.In terms of catering, I must say that the grilled salmon is among my top picks. It's always perfectly cooked and bursting with flavour, a true highlight of the menu. Overall, I highly recommend Brock House Restaurant for anyone seeking a picturesque, elegant, and memorable wedding venue.

Barbara Paul: What a stunning place to have a wedding! Our arrangements were looked after perfectly by the Brock house staff. The bride's room was a great place for everyone to get ready, and the house provided a lovely setting for the first photos. The big tree made a beautiful backdrop, along with the ocean and mountain view. When the service was over, servers were ready with punch while the guests mingled on the lawn. At noon, a delicious buffet lunch was provided and the tent looked beautiful. After postponing for Covid, it was wonderful to finally have our dream wedding. Thanks to all the Brock House staff who dealt so efficiently with all the arrangements and questions over the two year wait! Photos are by Hyperfocus photography.

Demian Mcrae: I got married here. Really nice venue with an outside area as well. In wetter colder times a tent can be set up, there is a really nice background for all the wedding pictures plus some nice indoor areas that look fantastic. Food and drink package was great and the best part was that all set up and clean up was taken care of by the staff, all that was needed was the decorating and then take down of that. It was totally worth it, we got married off season so it was cheaper that way.

Mara M Baltazhar: Excellent quality

Jeremy Fong: Perfect for weddings

Garry Robinson: Great wedding venue and food was amazing loved it

Vancouver Harp: Beautiful place for a wedding!’I love the breeze from the sea :)

WILLIAM REN: This is a great place for party event! The setting is wonderful. The food is delicious. The scenic view of sunset is awesome

Candice johnson: Salmon was cooked to perfection, unbeliestunning property, fantastic staff!

Michelle Morris: Brock House is a beautiful location. My criticisms are due to poor execution and post accounting administration. We learned the following the hard way. Now you don’t have to:Make note of the earliest access to the site (if having an early day meeting) is at 8:30am. But that doesn’t mean that they will have any staff there, or the building open at that time. It just means you can stand in the lawn at that time and wait for their staff to arrive. You can’t get into the building until 9am - that time is not just for the bridal room but the whole building.If you are planning your wedding there, have a good understanding of how many service staff they will have on that day. We found that the bar was often closed because the bartender was serving food at the tables so our guests could not be served by the bar.Be sure to confirm with the planner, that your guests can order drinks from the bar at their table or they will not be able to get any drinks like my guests. Our guests went thirsty.The servers are only allowed to fill wine glasses up to maybe 5oz and they are not allowed to leave the bottles on the tables when guests ask, and no server or coordinator will pass on that request to you if it does come up.Make sure you take photographs of the food and drinks, so you can compare with your final bill when it arrives. (I have photographs showing they did not put out the infused strawberry water, but they’re still charging me $50 for it anyways, and won’t respond to my inquiry).Make sure your plate numbers are what you asked for on your bill. They mentioned that two more plates were ordered at table #2 on the day but my guest list never changed and my guests at the table say no plates were ordered. The kitchen/chef overrules your photos and accounts.Make sure you know that the walls on the tent are fully down with only one door that faces the house open, restricting the flow from the tent to the lawn. At least they told me you can’t open those tent walls but that’s not what I see in all the photographs on Google of past weddings there.Make sure that even though they tell you the microphone is available in the tent for speeches you still need one if you don’t have a DJ.Make sure you create a rainy day floor plan as well as a sunny day floor plan. They won’t tell you to do this but if it’s a rainy day your plan will not be the same and they will make-up your floor plan without consultation.There are million of other issues that we encountered that they refused to acknowledge or respond to. So do realize that is their level of customer service on the back end.We had a beautiful wedding in spite of it all but it’s because we decided to think that way. When thinking too much about the execution and post accounting it can taint the day. However, it is a wonder that an establishment whose only job is to manage events like these doesn’t have these issues worked out and operates like a finely oiled machine.Good luck!

alexccccccccc: washroom very dirty

Bryan Young: Rock house

Debra St: My son was able to finally have his wedding after 2 years of Covid delays. We were sad that they couldn't have the ceremony outdoors as the rain just wouldn't stop. Heaters were fine with ceremony and dinner in the tent. Food was fantastic.

Heather: Absolutely ridiculous. Attended a wedding and was genuinely appalled by this place. Their lack of attention to detail, lack of willingness to compromise, and disturbed attitude, etc, was despicable. The amount of money versus what was actually supplied was embarrassing. Whoever intended this to be a magical place for people to celebrate their love should be mortified. A beautiful location and that’s it. I would not recommend this venue for anyone to get married.

Denys Goude: Lovely location for a wedding.

Shadi M: Jeremy was great at our wedding day. he and the rest of the staff made the day very special for us. The food was great and Brock house was very quick in responding to our emails and accomodate our requests . Thanks for making our wedding day stress free and fun

Kevin Shen: Fancy venue with ocean view.

C T: Beautiful ocean and city view. Old tradition restaurant for special events.

a t: Catered food was delicious

Danielle Douglas: We had our dream wedding at the Brock House Restaurant. The Brock House exceeded our expectations. Here are just a few reasons you should book your wedding at the Brock House:1. The views at the Brock House are incredible, our out of town guests were especially impressed - gorgeous sunset. This also meant that very little decor/florals were needed for the ceremony.2. Everyone we dealt with at the Brock House were kind and seemed to care about ensuring the wedding guests had a good time; service was excellent - always making sure guests glasses were full. They made sure there was enough staff so everything ran very smoothly.3. The food was also exceptional (particularly the sable fish and the late night mac and cheese), and exceeded the quality from our tasting.4. They accommodated different dietary restrictions - with even a meal for our guests who were gluten free and vegan.5. They were very flexible, willing to order in special wine for us.6. The tent is already decorated with chandeliers so it makes decor very easy. They have nice chairs so you don't need to rent others, they even printed off menus for own guests and have nice table numbers.7. The lead up to the wedding was relatively stressful given the ever-evolving public health orders; The Brock House was very transparent with us and provided lots of options in case the public health order wouldn't allow us to have the wedding we wanted.We are just so thankful we had our wedding at the Brock House and cannot recommend it enough!The photos below are by Scott Little photography.

Jonathan Brower: This place is beautiful and ornate. Add some cool lighting and music (and natural wine tastings) and it turns into a lively party spot.

Estela Hsu: Breathtaking beautiful venue with great lighting and service.It’s redecorating from a bank long time before.

M Z: Great event venue !

Rhea D: It was an incredible space for an event. Absolutely beautiful.

Gaëtan Perrault: This is an old bank now converted to an event space and home for Internet Archive Canada. It's now "The Permanent Library" instead of "BC Permanent & Loan Company".It's still an event space and it's incredibly lovely and classy. Not just the old architecture, but lovely stained glass and top notch tiling everywhere. Even the restrooms are fancy.

Philipp Kundert: Very nice space for an event

L K: Nice venue

Sam Singla: A perfect venue for anything. I have been here twice and i am already in love with the place.. Recommend 5/5Really helpful staffA great view of the Harbour Centre Vancouver.You will find a cannabis 🌿🌿dispensary on the corner.A decent size of screen with a projector 📽️

Christina Steinert: A beautiful building. I attended a wedding there. The staff and the service was great.

Alexander jose Franco perez: El permanent es un bonito lugar y también muy famoso en la serie de Riverdale conocida como el Pembroke dónde vivía la familia lodge

Mickael Maddison: The Permanent is a great location for business and social events and the uniqueness is great for filming too.

Vineet Singh: Clean space but may be a bit small. Parking can be tricky and adjacent area is a bit deprived.

Danielle Lowe: The Permanent participated in an instagram contest where they were offering a specified amount of time at the venue for a wedding. They received a great deal of exposure from participating in this contest.My sister won the wedding package, and paid for extra time at the venue for dinner and reception which was not part of the package. Then The Permanent cancelled my sister’s wedding with eleven days notice because they decided to begin renovations early.They received advertisement from this contest without honouring their commitment. They have put my sister and the other businesses who participated in the contest in a horrible situation. As you can imagine it is very difficult to find a new venue on such short notice, especially with the recent boom in weddings.All creative aspects of the wedding (dresses, decorations, etc.) were centred around the expectation that The Permanent would be the venue. Rather than looking forward to their wedding, the couple is scrambling at the last minute to find a new location.It is shameful the owners felt it was acceptable to cancel the venue on such short notice. Guests have booked reservations and flights according the the year+ plan of this event being held at the permanent. Caterers, florists, and other services have already been organized for this wedding. This selfish decision impacts many more people than just the couple.I would not recommend booking your wedding at a venue that is willing to leave you high and dry so close to your big moment. They didn’t even offer an alternative.

Brittany Andrejcin: We were due to fly in for a wedding booked at The Permanent Library from out of Province. Given this, we have flights and accommodation booked.Our friends had won a wedding package that included the Permanent as the venue, but they paid for extra time for dinner and the reception.They were contacted a month prior from the venue telling them they were raising the agreed upon rates, then CANCELLED their wedding venue 11 days before the event. After the unfortunate need to rebook due to the pandemic, what a shame to finally have a date to look forward to only to have it cancelled so last minute and have to scramble to find a new venue when everywhere is so booked up given the long hiatus the wedding industry had to take in 2020/2021.The fallout of this affects everyone, including guests that are now at risk of losing deposits and amounts paid on flights and accommodation if a new venue is unable to be secured in time. I really hope all money paid by our friends for the venue is fully returned. I noticed another guest of the wedding also left a review where the owner said nothing was paid. This is inaccurate and doesn't take into account the amount paid for the extra dinner time and reception. Beyond this, to have to scramble for venue with so little time before their date is a result of a terrible decision made by the Permanent.

Alexandra Lowe: I wish I could give 0 stars.This venue cancelled my sisters wedding with ten days notice. She has had the wedding booked for over a YEAR. Not only did the venue reach out to her to increase the hourly rate a month ago - after having the wedding booked for over a year. They then decided to do renovations to the building earlier than they had planned due to getting a building permit sooner than they'd hoped. So rather than do the renovations when they were planned, they cancelled all of the weddings planned up till their planned renovation date.DONT BOOK WITH THIS VENUE. Firstly, you should feel confident your venue will honor the agreed upon price, which this venue does not. Secondly, you should feel confident your venue will not cancel on you, where The Permanent will.Think about the challenges scrambling to book a wedding venue with ten days notice, then think about how you should choose a venue that is NOT The Permanent.

Shaun Rowsell: This wedding venue literally cancelled my friend’s wedding within ELEVEN days. Fifty people have been invited; meaning travel plans, accommodation, etc and now have to be informed that there will be no wedding to attend. This is the least professional and compassionate thing I have ever witnessed from a business. What was supposed to be the most special day of two people’s lives is now a stressful mess. Their reasoning? Renovations. Eleven days notice for random renovations. They should be ashamed of the way this has been handled and I would strongly advise anyone looking to book a wedding to steer clear of a venue who can cancel within eleven days. And keep in mind this is just their wedding - all others (including sooner and later weddings) have been spontaneously cancelled as well.

Emily León: I really did not know what this publication was about but I already saw that then I am going to give them 5 stars

Christine Richardson & Mack Keay: We recently got married at The Permanent. When going back and forth on a where to get married; Regina or Vancouver, we came across this venue. It is absolutely stunning; from the show stopping stain glass ceiling, tile work on the floor, to the features around the entire space.We got married during covid times and had to change our wedding plans a lot. We were fortunate to sneak it in while the guidelines were still 50. I was worried that the space would be too small downsizing from a 130 person to 45 but it wasn't! The space was filled beautifully and never once did I feel like the space felt empty.A lot of our guests commented on how amazing the space was and I couldn't agree more!

Jay Cree: Really cool venue. I'm glad my relative chose it for his wedding. It always great to see that there are people in our city still interested in preserving Vancouver's history. So many fascinating details throughout the venue.
