About

On WeddingWire since 2019

Last update: November 2025

The Celebration Pavilion is a stunning setting, located in the heart of Queen Elizabeth park, at the highest point in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia. The Pavilion is an intimate space with a modern design, flooded by natural light, that hosts wedding ceremonies, receptions and other special events.

Facilities & Capacity

The Celebration Pavilion can accommodate a maximum of 100 people for a ceremony, 48 for a seated reception or 65 for a standing cocktail reception. The back walls of the Pavilion open up to a beautiful patio & garden area, creating an enchanting ceremony backdrop. This unique garden setting is wheelchair accessible. The venue features radiant heated floors for events taking place in cooler seasons. Near the venue, you will find a private washroom for guests and a wedding suite, for those last-minute touch-ups. Pay parking is available throughout the park and is operated by EasyPark.

Services Offered

The rental rates for the Celebration Pavilion differ depending on whether you are holding your wedding ceremony on a weekday or weekend. Weekend rates apply for Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Stat Holidays.

As the logistics of a reception (this includes any event serving food and/or beverage) are much more complex than a ceremony only booking, may we please schedule a phone call to discuss in more detail? The rentals office hours are Monday to Friday, between 9am and 4pm.

Included in your rental is 2 hours of exclusive use of the venue, the services of a liaison staff member, the use of 80 silver chiavari chairs in a standard lecture style setup, a signing table with linen, a sound system with aux input, a handheld or lapel microphone(s), your choice of either a red or black carpeted aisle runner and silk floral decors of either blush/lavender/white or red/green.

A wedding rehearsal can be booked Monday to Thursdays between 9am and 3pm, depending on staff availability. Bookings outside of these standard hours or days will incur an additional hourly fee. Please note that all dates and times are subject to change due to last-minute bookings. Availability is not guaranteed, and all tentative holds are confirmed only two weeks prior to the scheduled date.

Please click here to check out our current 2025 rental brochure. We are currently accepting booking requests for 2026, however, the 2026 rental rates and weekday operating hours have yet to be established. This may not be confirmed until early January 2026.

Bookings that provide less than 2-weeks notice are currently charged an additional last-minute booking fee of $160 plus GST.

In-person viewings with a member of the rentals department are limited and by appointment only. If you would like to visit the facility in person yourself, you are more than welcome to; the front doors are windows, and you can see the space from the outside. However, if there is an event taking place, we ask that you please respect their privacy and come back another time. We are more than happy to go over any questions that you may have after your visit via email. If you cannot make it here in person, please experience a virtual tour and photo album to visit the space virtually.

Absolutely Wonderful Experience

This was such a beautiful venue and the staff we worked with were wonderful and very helpful. The entire day went off without a hitch and everyone who attending kept commenting on how beautiful it was here. Plus you can do photos in the park afterwards so it's a double win location. Highly recommend!

Pretty as the pictures

There is no better garden venue in Vancouver for a summer wedding. Beautiful, light and bright with almost no need to add decor, the celebration pavilion is a dream for couples.

Perfect venue for our ceremony!

Before the wedding, communication was always comprehensive and prompt, with their team providing a ton of support. For both the rehearsal and on the big day, their venue coordinator was friendly, present, and very helpful in getting us set up with their AV. The venue was set up perfectly on our arrival (aisle runner, flowers, signing table, etc.); we really just needed to set up a welcome sign. The location in Queen Elizabeth Park was also perfect for photos after the ceremony/hosting our (equally as turn-key) reception at Seasons in the Park.

Beautiful wedding ceremony venue!

We had our wedding ceremony at QE Celebration Pavilion in August. Maria and Lindsey were so helpful throughout the entire process from selecting a date/time, to booking the venue, to rehearsals, to day of our wedding. Communication was easy. They are professional and knowledgeable. As for the venue, we choose to have the red carpet and blush silk floral set. We also brought in two arrangements of our own. The venue was absolutely beautiful.

Beautiful venue with helpful staff

Many thanks to Maria and Lindsay for helping us from start to finish. The ceremony was perfect and I have nothing negative to say. We did not have a wedding coordinator, so Lindsay worked together with our officiant Jane from Young Hip and Married to facilitate a very helpful rehearsal and ceremony. Highly recommend QE for your ceremony. It was beautiful and magical. Everyone was professional, polite, helpful, and well-prepared.

The Most Beautiful Place In Vancouver

This site was amazing. We had very little decor, and didn't need it anyways. The site was stunning. The seats were comfortable, and the staff were so accommodating.

It was much warmer than we thought it was going to be, which was great because it was a winter wedding. The surrounding area was also perfect for photos, as the grounds are stunning.

The mid day light shone through so perfectly that everyone complimented us on the timing of the ceremony, since the windows glowed beautifully.

Cannot recommend this venue enough.

The best ceremony spot !

Just wanted to thank The Chaple group for thier amazing service on our wedding day. Allan and Mitchell both made the process feel so easy going and wonderful through out. We had our wedding at the Queen Elizabeth Park Pavillion and felt absolutely magical , its beautiful to take take pictures around the park after too. We love thier package options they offer including decor and live music it made things so easy for us. We are expectationally thankful for thier talented pianist who had learned the songs we requested and it made the day even more special having that meaningful music playing as we made were married. Our guests were in awe of the whole ceremony from the beauty of the venue and our wonderful and smooth talking officent Mitchell and the beautiful music that touched our souls. Its was an absolutely magical day and we can't thank the chaple group enough for customizing our dream vision come true.

Happy I booked here

If you’re planning a wedding ceremony for 50 or less people, this location is perfect! I booked 11am-1pm slot and 2 hours was just perfect for us.

It’s an enclosed area so even if it rains (which it was supposed to on my day but luckily it didn’t) you are covered, and they provide chairs as well (one less thing to worry about renting).

After the ceremony we walked around the park for pictures, as there are a few great spots for beautiful pictures.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
