Perched atop Burnaby Mountain and suspended between forest and skyline, SFU’s Diamond Alumni Centre (DAC) offers a beautifully refreshed setting for unforgettable wedding celebrations in Burnaby, British Columbia. Modern rustic design, sweeping panoramic views and abundant light create a warm, elegant backdrop for gatherings of every size, from grand receptions to intimate, heartfelt ceremonies. Renovated in 2024, the DAC thoughtfully blends modern sophistication with its original rustic charm, featuring natural timbers, stone fireplaces, and lush greenery in serene surroundings. This premier event venue features panoramic views of Indian Arm and the North Shore mountains, along with outdoor decks on both levels.

Facilities and Capacity

The DAC accommodates a wide range of celebrations, from intimate gatherings to larger events. The Main Hall can host up to 200 guests and provides a beautiful backdrop for heartfelt ceremonies and lively receptions, complete with a dining room, bar, and dance floor. For smaller, more intimate celebrations, the Fraser‑Thompson Room accommodates up to 50 guests and creates a cozy atmosphere perfect for close‑knit gatherings. Both spaces are designed to help you share your day with the people who matter most, surrounded by a setting that feels personal and full of love. By day, the venue is filled with soft daylight; by night, it glows with a romantic ambience that makes every moment feel effortless. The DAC is a place where meaningful memories are made, and celebrations unfold with ease. Under open sky and mountain air, the DAC invites guests to wander from softly lit interiors to expansive outdoor decks across two levels. Thoughtfully designed for flexibility and full accessibility, with mobility-aid accessible spaces, the venue offers a seamless experience where everyone can celebrate together.
