Stunning Venue and amazing team

Stanley Park Pavilion is a beautiful venue in a defining Vancouver location.

Our wedding was twice postponed because of COVID and they were more than accommodating with our requests.

The food was excellent and a cut above the standard.

Most importantly (though there were a couple hiccups) the team worked hard to help us have the wedding we wanted and made each step from the first tour to the food tasting and the rehearsal feel special.

A special thank you to Buket, the sales manager, for the all the extra touches including the last minute addition of the Raki glasses!

Amazing staff, great location, best venue for our wedding❤️

We planned our wedding remotely (from Hong Kong and San Francisco) as we were unable to travel due to COVID before the wedding. The Stanley Park Pavilion staff, Buket and Anj, were super accommodating and got us to do virtual site visits and we basically made the decision through emails and video chats. The team was really responsive during the preparation period despite all the time difference. We arrived Vancouver just 3 weeks before the wedding to finalize our food and beverage menus and to see the venue in person (and it was even better than how we imagined)! The team was also able to re-create two of our favourite cocktails that weren't on their usual menu and our guests loved it!

On our wedding day, it was drizzling but we really wanted to do our wedding ceremony as planned. Thank you Stanley Park Pavilion staff for setting up everything in the rain, and also lending us umbrellas for our harpist and cellist last minute! The rain stopped miraculously at the start of the ceremony so everything went perfectly as we planned. Our guests had an amazing time - FOOD WAS EXCELLENT!!

Thank you for being part of our special day☺️

Exceptional staff and service!

The Pavilion was a spectacular location for a wedding. It is physically stunning both outside and in and was the perfect fit for our indoor ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, though the outdoor ceremony location in warmer parts of the year would be beautiful.

The amazing venue is complemented by an equally amazing staff. The venue staff were truly impeccable during set-up, the wedding and clean-up. Everything ran perfectly on-time and they took care of each guests with warmth and professionalism.

Buket, the event sales manager, is second to none. So fast to respond to our many many questions leading up to the wedding, assisting us with rehearsal a few days before and ensuring everything ran smooth during the ceremony makes her the perfect person to work with during such uncertain times.

Shawn, Tasha, Chef Nay and Nirmal took great care when it came to the food and beverage parts of the evening. We had a lot of dietary restrictions to work with and they executed the plan we co-created flawlessly and our guests were very happy to the delicious food.

If you can get this venue for your wedding, we would highly recommend it, they made our wedding truly incredible. Truly a world class venue and staff at the Pavilion.

In addition to being a stunning spot to get married, the team and Stanley Park Pavilion were a pleasure to work with. They are responsive, reliable, and take the time to make suggestions based on your vision. I would recommend this vendor without hesitation :)

Amazing Fall Wedding

You would be silly not to book with Stanley Park Pavilion. Buket and her team helped us pull off the most amazing Covid wedding. The team helped us over numerous hurdles while making the whole process stress free. All of our guests were complimenting not only how delicious the food was but how smoothly the whole evening went.
We would definitely recommend booking your wedding with Stanley Park Pavilion.

SPP Review

COVID threw many wrenches in our plan to have a wedding reception, ranging from guest limits to city-level restrictions and changes. While we originally signed with Prospect Point, a city decision forced the restaurant to close, and we were graciously moved to SPP for no change in rental fee. Buket was quick in responses, and her staff were friendly, professional, and helpful on the wedding day.
SPP is a beautiful 1910-era building that hardly needed any decoration. It's pretty central in Stanley park, with lots of trails and pathways close by that make for great photo opportunities!

Our Fairytale Wedding at Stanley Park Pavilion

Stanley Park Pavilion was our dream wedding venue. Buket and SPP team are extremely accommodating and made it easy to tailor our wedding to exactly how we dreamt it would be. Buket has lots of experience and was hands on in helping us make logistical decisions that made our day go smoothly.
The venue package is thoughtfully done - down to having a spa water station put out for the ceremony - making our guests feel like VIP! The transition from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner was seamless. We’re forever grateful to have had our wedding here. Thank you again!

Stanley Park Pavillon Was Exceptional

Stanley Park Pavillon was amazing to work, specifically Buket. We initially had intended on having a wedding and reception but due to COVID, we needed to scale back and Buket and the team were so amazing during the unexpected changes. The venue itself looked amazing and we couldn't have imagined the ceremony look more beautiful.

Thank you for selecting us for your Big Day!

Stay safe & healthy!

Couldn’t have asked for a better venue

Stanley Park Pavilion was the moat beautiful venue. Everyone there was responsive, very attentive and accommodating to our requests. It was supposed to rain on our wedding day but me and my husband decided to change our ceremony from indoor to outdoor an hour before the wedding because we saw the sun coming out. The Staff were all so accommodating and did their magic to bring out our dream wedding.
