yes, another venue related question - Vancouver Wedding Forum

jen m · 2007-02-10, 10:12 PM

I am slowly going insane trying to find a venue. Ideally, I would ike a place where we can have both the ceremony and reception. None of the golf course/hotels appeal to me. I just want a short ceremony (don't even want to walk down an aisle) and then a celebration with family and some friends. 50 people max, but 10 or so are kids under the age of 12 (two of which are ours) I like the idea of a place with access to the outside, especially to give the kids a place to let off some steam, but not totally outside in case of bad weather. Something like the Hycroft or Cecil Green, but on a smaller scale. We were thinking of having the wedding early to mid-Sept. but that is not set in stone.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

There's a place in New Westminster called Robson Manor. I considered it last year when I was planning for my wedding. Below I have included the contact information to help you out.

Robson Manor
101 - 3rd Street, New Westminster
Tel: 604 521-4919

In case you reconsider the golf course idea, Mayfair Lakes Golf and Country Club is great. It has an outdoor ceremony location but they can also accomodate an indoor wedding. Below is the contact information, as well as a link to take you to their website.

Mayfair Lakes Golf & Country Club
5460 No 7 Rd, Richmond

Hello!
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Robson Manor is no more! Has been bought & changed to a specialized private school. Very disappointing!

Try this link for the GVRD, facilities in local parks.

Cammidge House in Ladner or Minnekhada Lodge in Port Coquitlam, plus a few others.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the suggestions. Too bad about Robson Manor.
The ceremony locations at Mayfair look great. Minnekhada Lodge also looks promising. I will have to check that one out. But I'm a little worried that the kids would all want to go swimming in the pool

Thanks again for the suggestions.
