St. Andrews Wesley United Wedding (Vancouver)
St. Andrew’s-Wesley is an important Vancouver landmark and designated heritage site for its exquisite architecture and amazing cathedral-like setting. Opened in 1933, more than 75 years ago, it possesses a gothic style that stands out through 14th-century design.
This church is committed to celebrating the diversity found in the family of God and wants to be an inclusive space for everyone, regardless of their race, religion, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation. Their main themes are kindness, justice and peace.
The beautiful, intricate designs of the stained glass windows have been a favourite of ours for years. We love how the colours refract and change throughout the day depending on how the light shines through. The windows are perfect for capturing that perfect picture with your partner in front of them on your special day.

Weather is not a worry
If you are getting married in the winter, or even in the fall when the days are short and cold, these churches are your best bet. They are in a beautiful location, and you can enjoy the wedding even if it’s raining or snowing!
Wedding photography in churches
If you are getting married in a church, you can include photos of the church prior to the wedding. This is a great way to include photos of the church, or perhaps include some photos of the church before it was built.
You can do your family photos after the wedding ceremony.
Some churches have a beautiful garden or other room where you can do your family photos. This is a great option, and you can include the church during your photos.
Church wedding venue location
Many churches have a location that is beautiful and perfect for a wedding where they are close to many other wedding reception venues. The ceremony and reception sometimes can be right next to each other. Just search “church wedding venues near me” and see what options are available.
You’ll take part in the tradition.
From the time you were a child, you were taught that marriage should be celebrated in the church. Chances are, you attended your family’s wedding ceremony held in a church, and an in-church ceremony is a very common tradition.
The ceremony is more private.
The church is usually a private space, which means that your ceremony will be less crowded and more intimate than a wedding held in a public venue.
