Facilities and Capacity

The Robert H. Lee Alumni Centre is a two-time winner of the BC Wedding award and recipient of the Governor Generals Award for Architecture. They offer a range of event spaces to accommodate your ceremony, reception, and cocktail hour. To begin your day at this venue, you can get ready from the comfort of their on-site dressing suite. This is the perfect place to assemble your outfit before making your way down the aisle. Ceremonies are hosted in the Jack Pool Hall, a bright, airy space with high ceilings and 20ft glass windows on all sides. After you tie the knot, you can make your way to the Welcome Centre for a standing cocktail reception with up to 420 guests. This charming space features a marble bar, gas fireplace, self-playing grand piano, and contemporary lounge furniture. In warmer weather, you might consider availing of the attached patio area, which is ideal for intimate gatherings. Later, you can climb their signature cedar staircase, returning to Jack Poole Hall for a seated dinner with up to 300 guests. The neutral colours and minimal-style furnishing in this space make it the perfect blank canvas for a unique and personalized decor theme.

Fantastic wedding venue and team.

My wife and I had our wedding at the Robert H. Lee Alumni Centre in August of 2019 and it was a night to remember. The venue is beautiful and the team was great to work with.

June 2019 Wedding

We felt so fortunate to have our wedding at the Alumni Centre. Both of us are UBC Alumni and it was incredibly special for us to get married where we first met. The staff were extremely responsive, professional, kind, flexible and collaborative. I would recommend this site to any close friend or family.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
