9 Beautiful Summer Wedding Venues in and Around Vancouver

Science World’s Green Roof Terrace and Patio

Location: Vancouver
Capacity: 180 ceremony; 160 reception
Minimum Spend: From $7,300

Raise a glass to your romantic chemistry at Science World! While the venue offers multiple event spaces, we love the Green Roof Terrace for a summer wedding. Enjoy panoramic views of False Creek (and the lights on the “golf ball” dome once the sun starts to set) as you mingle in the shady comfort of a tented area that can accommodate almost the entire maximum capacity of the venue. scienceworld.ca

The Teahouse

Location: Vancouver
Capacity: 70 to 100 in the largest room; up to 220 with a full-venue buyout
Minimum Spend: From $1,500

Located on Ferguson Point in picturesque Stanley Park, the Teahouse is a beautiful historic venue with incredible water and mountain vistas at its doorstep (great for photo ops). This elegant restaurant has three dining rooms to choose from. The Conservatory is the largest space and features a glass roof and floor-to-(glass)-ceiling ocean-view windows for a bright indoor ceremony. The Drawing Room and Tea Room are cozier spaces, which make them ideal for smaller gatherings. vancouverdine.com/teahouse
