Beautiful but expensive and missing some promised items
The venue is definitely gorgeous and the ceremony on the pier is amazing. Not being told about the extra charge for pier ceremony, not so amazing. A beautiful venue with a few downsides. The bridal room is very small with no good spot to hang your dress. I asked repeatedly about outlets on the buffet wall and was promised three outlets only to get one on that wall and one I wasn't allowed to use the other outlet due to it tripping the breaker consistently. My caterer pivoted to using the kitchen(which we had already paid extra for ahead of time just in case) to find they had left it stacked storage items. All in all still a good night but felt overcharged amenities that we had paid for but were not provided. Three stars simply because of the view at lake.

Amazing venue
I truly cannot say enough good things about the Burnaby Lake Rowing Pavilion! From the moment we booked the venue to the very end of our wedding night, everything exceeded our expectations.
A huge thank you to Carissa, who went above and beyond every step of the way. She was incredibly organized, responsive, kind, and genuinely invested in making sure our day was everything we dreamed it would be. Her support throughout the planning process made such a difference, and we always felt like we were in the best hands.
The venue itself was absolutely beautiful. It perfectly suited the aesthetic we envisioned and transformed into the most magical space for our wedding. From the ceremony overlooking the lake to the reception inside, every part of the venue was stunning, and our guests couldn't stop complimenting it.
The catering by City of Burnaby Catering was also outstanding. The food was absolutely incredible, beautifully prepared, delicious, and served seamlessly. We received so many compliments from our guests, and not a single complaint. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals, and it was clear how much care went into every detail.
We are so incredibly grateful to the entire team at the Burnaby Lake Rowing Pavilion for helping make our wedding day so unforgettable. Thank you for your professionalism, hard work, and genuine care. We loved working with all of you and would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful location with an exceptional team behind it.

Amazing food and absolutely beautiful venue.
I don't even know where to start! Josiepine was so kind, thoughtful, professional and responsive through the whole process from setting up to the logistics of our special day. One of my favourite parts about the whole experience is the venue itself. I had around 80 guests and they all sat very comfortably. The view itself was breathtaking as there are gigantic windows as the backdrop of the space, and an area right outside the venue for amazing photos right next to the lake.
They have also really improved the quality of their food as well. The roast beef was buttery and melt in your mouth, and the garlic mashed potatoes are must have. All of the other sides and cocktail hour snacks were also perfect. All my guests were raving about the food by the end of it!
If you have any inquiries or accommodations that need attention to, Josiepine and her team are also very open minded and eager to help. I very much recommend this space for your special day considering the quality you get for the price.
Thank you again to everyone from Food Burnaby for making our dreams come true!

October Wedding
This venue was fantastic. The space was perfect for the size of our wedding which was 85 people. The venue staff were always willing to help and flexible with our timeline.

Beautiful and affordable wedding venue
We hosted our wedding here in April 2023. We had booked about a year in advance and the staff we worked with were professional and helpful throughout the process. We mainly worked with Josie and she was super great.
We opted for the city of Burnaby catering that was offered as a package. The food was delicious and our guests were super happy with the quality. This package also included rentals for tables, linens and chairs. The chairs are basic but get the job done. If you want fancy chairs I'd maybe consider renting other ones. If youre not fussed the chairs provided are comfortable. We were fortunate to have access to the space a day in advance. It made decorating much easier in terms of logistics.
We liked the atmosphere of the space and you can really tailor the interior to your own taste. Loved the floor to ceiling windows. And the indoor and outdoor combination was really enjoyable for us and our guests.
Overall, would recommend this venue!

Great Wedding Venue!
Burnaby Lake Rowing Pavillion is a great place to host your wedding. Although fairly plain, the venue has the ability to customize it to your own liking. You cannot go wrong with the whole wall full of windows. It is a beautiful place to host your wedding with lots of trails nearby to do photos.
The one downside, is that the venue is booked almost every weekend. This does not provide you with an opportunity to decorate the day before or have a rehearsal there. However, just hire a team of people to do it the morning of, and it works out great!

I would give a million stars if it were an options. The venue was beautiful and the staff were amazing through out the entire process
I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to have the perfect wedding. The pricing is great but what you get is far more than what you pay for. The venue itself is beautiful, Newly renovated with air conditioning too. The scenery is like that out of a fairy tail (our pictures look terrific). The staff were so wonderful and easy to work with and communicate with. Book in advance as if books fast
