Exactly what we want

If you're looking for a venue with breathtaking views and exceptional service, Stanley Park Pavilion is the perfect choice for your wedding. The garden, ideal for an outdoor ceremony, is absolutely beautiful, and the setting is truly one-of-a-kind.

The service we received was outstanding. The team was incredibly accommodating, even going above and beyond to meet our needs. For example, we requested to arrive 30 minutes earlier to have more time for photos, and they arranged for staff to help make it happen without hesitation.

Inside the Pavilion, everything was clean, and bright—creating the perfect atmosphere for stunning wedding photos.

Our entire experience exceeded expectations. The professionalism, responsible and flexibility of the staff made our day completely unforgettable. If you're seeking a venue with not only gorgeous views but also exceptional service, we highly recommend Stanley Park Pavilion.

Easy and efficient

We had a wedding planner, Nicky from One and Only Events, who worked with the venue. While i only needed to speak with Stanley Park Pavilion for payments, they were extremely helpful and easy to work with.

We couldn’t have picked a more perfect venue for our wedding! The breathtaking scenery, elegant decor, and flawless attention to detail created the ideal backdrop for our big day. The venue staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and their professionalism and warmth made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free.

Our guests were in awe of the beauty of the space, and we received endless compliments on how stunning the venue was. The beauty of the building made our ceremony even more elegant.

If you’re looking for a venue that combines charm, elegance, and exceptional service, Stanley Park Pavilion is hands down a great choice. We’re so grateful for the unforgettable memories created here—thank you for making our day magical!

An Unforgettable Experience at Stanley Park Pavilion

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our special day than Stanley Park Pavilion. From the moment we first inquired about hosting our wedding there, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our every request. They graciously arranged for our tea ceremony to be held indoors prior to the main ceremony, ensuring that our traditions were honored with the utmost care and respect.

The outdoor wedding ceremony on the lawn was nothing short of magical. The lush, picturesque setting provided a stunning backdrop that captured the essence of our day perfectly. The seamless transition from the indoor tea ceremony to the beautiful outdoor ceremony was a testament to the Pavilion’s exceptional service and attention to detail.

Every aspect of our experience at Stanley Park Pavilion exceeded our expectations. The staff's professionalism, warmth, and flexibility made our wedding day stress-free and memorable. We wholeheartedly recommend Stanley Park Pavilion to any couple looking for a venue that offers not only breathtaking views but also unparalleled service. Thank you for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!

Wonderful Venue

We held our wedding in Jun this year. I would highly recommend this place. Every staff member is super helpful and responsive. Although we received a sudden notification about garden maintenance (by the park) a few weeks before our wedding, which greatly annoyed us, The manager Buket responded quickly, helped us to negotiate with the park and provided us with many alternative solutions. The event coordinator Seren and all F&B operation team members were so nice and helpful on our event day. Thank you all guys for making our wedding perfect.

Thank you Stanley Park Pavilion!

We were so fortunate to book Stanley Park Pavilion's beautiful venue for our wedding. The space offered such a variety of spaces for each part of our wedding day - it was perfect. Aside from the obvious beauty of the space, the team was amazing. From start to finish, they were very responsive, collaborative, accommodating and understood our vision and made sure to do their best to bring it to life. Our wedding would not have been at all possible without the hard work, care and thoughtfulness of the team at Stanley Park Pavilion!

Wedding Reception

Our wedding ceremony at the garden and then the coctail reception at the Pavilion was absolutely remarkable with Buket and her team. First of all, the Stanley Park Pavilion is the most beautiful place for a wedding reception. The white chairs that were set up on the grass, the flowers and the red cedar trees around the pavilion all make the venue a megical dream place itself.
We went through all the details at the rehearsal a couple days before the event. Everything went very smoothly and as planned on the wedding day. Buket also helped us during the planning stage by recommending the best commisioners in Vancouver. The other unforgettable gesture came from the food coordinator Ayşegül. She provided some canapes and drink - champaıgn and Perrier in the bridal room so that we can eat after the reception is over. We were busy with our guests, taking photos and we did not have any chance to eat the food. It was a very thoughtful gesture. We felt cared for and looked after. I can’t thank enough the team for making our special day extra special for us and for our guests. Two of our friends were inspired by the amazing service and they might show up in the near future.

Most breath taking venue for the best price.

The most complements (besides the brides dress!) was honestly about the food. The FOOD at this venue was a non-stop talking point. We opted in for the buffet. It was a great hit. We also liked the architecture of the place. The sound from the ballroom is contained in the ballroom. So if your guests are out in the tearoom/ bar area they can still have a space to have conversations without the loud music. Perfect spot. Great place for wedding photos because you’re already in Stanley park! Highly recommend, money well spent on the most important day of any couples lives!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
