Great People, Great Views
First of all, the location is clearly beautiful and historic. We even got to watch Spain's entry in the Celebration of Light fireworks from the deck! They have also recently installed air conditioning, which is a huge plus for such a historic venue.
The team at the VRC, especially Cara and JJ, are amazing. They run everything so smoothly and think of all the tiny details you don't. Cara stayed connected with our other vendors throughout the process and on the day they were so attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly. The bar service was great and they were really flexible about working with our changing plans and budget through our various delays.
All in all, it was an absolutely perfect day to cap and amazing planning experience.
Damn good looking forward
Beautiful location and great staff
Would get married there again in a heartbeat!
Gorgeous venue, fantastic staff!
The Vancouver Rowing Club - A Charming Coastal Vibe
We had the ceremony on the deck at 5 p.m. and white parasols helped with a very hot July day! The club crew were wonderful at setting up just the perfect number of chairs, and making sure everything was in order with the flowers, wedding arch and signage. They were fun and cheerful and got right into the spirit as guests cooled off after the service with lots of libations. The Harbour Room was perfectly set up for dinner and staff kept everything rolling nicely for the caterers to work smoothly.
After dinner and dancing, the evening was beautiful and the guests enjoyed gathering on the deck and relaxing with a drink as the sun set over the sparking water and yachts.
Do book early! Manager Cara is very helpful and will recommend a variety of services such as wedding planners, dj's and caterers who are familiar with the set up of the club. The Harbour Room is the largest of the two available rooms and is snapped up quickly. The Trophy Room would be fine for a smaller group. Both have access to the wrap-around deck and stationary cocktail tables.
Stanley Park Parking is close by the club and there is a designated lane for drop-offs.
You will have a lovely wedding with many great memories in a building that is part of Vancouver's boating history!
