Venues & caterers in vancouver

Hello !

So I know this is suppose to not be stressful but i'm starting to freak out a bit.

We recently found our venue at UBC boathouse. I am the type of person to always second doubt myself and not sure if im getting the best value for my money. I have gone around and seen a bunch of venues in Vancouver but one of the must was to have at least water or green view, and to be able to bring in your own catering as food is important part of it.

we have a tentative date for May. We are starting to plan as if that was the date. I just want a reassurement that one, this is a definately good venue for what im looking for and perhaps i wont be able to find anything like it out there and two Caterer ideas please? !

As i find out that i must rent everything i want input on past experience on Caterers with reasonable/ affordable food and that provide the rentals for the extra items.

Thanks in advance !

Karen

    Hi Karen! We had looked at the UBC Boathouse as one of our venues. It's so beautiful and it was very hard for me to give up my vision of getting married there! Are you using it for the ceremony and the reception? I know when we visited they had mentioned that they do the ceremony typically on the dock and the reception upstairs in the boathouse. Most venues have a "recommended vendor" list so you should definitely ask them if they have any vendors that they've worked with in the past that were good!

    We ended up deciding to get married at Granville Island. (We also wanted a view of the water!) We're going to have the ceremony at the Granville Island Hotel and the reception at Bridges Restaurant. I definitely understand your concern about having to find a caterer and rent tables and chairs. We decided to go with Bridges so we wouldn't have to worry about it and as I'm already planning a wedding from another country, it was nice to have one less thing to worry about. If your heart is set on it though, you can make it work! I would definitely talk to the venue and see what they recommend because they have experience in that area!

    Good luck! So nice to finally meet another Vancouver bride and can't wait to hear more!
