This turn-of-the-century former provincial courthouse building presents a dramatic exterior backdrop for wedding parties, ceremonies, and photoshoots!

Locations include the grand foyer and rotunda—with a soaring dome and twin marble staircases—and two of the building’s original historic courtrooms, complete with judge’s stands and rich hardwoods. Discover the city’s best rooftop experience, the Gallery’s Rooftop Pavilion. Fully protected from the elements, this space offers a spectacular view overlooking Robson Square in a unique setting.

With so many one-of-a-kind options to choose from, it’s no wonder the Gallery is the site for Vancouver’s most memorable unique weddings and celebrations!
