From country chic barns to high end West Coast inspired venues, we have been to some of the best rustic wedding venues around Vancouver. It just so happens most of these venues have epic views of the amazing mountains that the West Coast is so well known for. We wanted to put together a list of some of our favourites to help you out with your wedding planning. Be sure to check out our wedding photography portfolio.
Grouse Mountain | North Vancouver, BC
Sea to Sky Gondola | Squamish, BC
Fraser River Lodge | Agassiz, BC
Westwood Plateau | Coquitlam, BC
SFU Diamond Alumni Centre | Burnaby
Nestled on top of Burnaby Mountain The SFU Diamond Alumni Centre has amazing mountain and forest views looking towards the Indian Arm. It’s a two level venue with options to have the ceremony on the bottom and the reception up top. SFU in general has some interesting architecture and is the best covered spot in the Lower Mainland. Ask them about alumni discounts, I heard they are great! Our posts about SFU Diamond Alumni Centre Official website
Riverway Clubhouse | Burnaby
From the same designer as Westwood Plateau, Riverway Clubhouse showcases a similar west coast feeling with the tall ceilings, windows and wood beams. It’s located in South Burnaby close to the new River district and New Westminster. Our posts about Riverway Clubhouse. Official website.Bridges Restaurant | Vancouver
The most “city rustic” of the bunch, Bridges Restaurant is located right on Granville Island. It showcases those wooden accents rustic wedding venues love so much, and it overlooks the Vancouver skyline. You get the best of both worlds from Bridges. Our posts about Bridges Restaurant.

Sasamat Outdoor Centre | Belcarra I often wondered if they did weddings at the Sasamat Outdoor Centre since I always thought it would be such a cool place to have a wedding. After some research it turns out they do have weddings and you can even stay a few nights in the cabins and have private access to your own beach!
