Hi everyone! My fiance and I are currently trying to find a venue for our July 2010 wedding. We would like to hold both the ceremony and reception at the same location and are looking for something outside perferrably on or near the water (doesn't matter what kind of water, just would like a lake or ocean or river). I'm not sure even where to start on this search and would appreciate any help I could get! We just got engaged so are only in the beginning stages of wedding planning. Thanks, you're suggestions are appreciated!

Hello,

If you are keeping open mind to venues outside Burnaby, I would highly recommend UBC Boathouse in Richmond. This is a very open venue right by the water and you can bring your own drink.

In Burnaby, there is Hart house in the deer lake area, I've been to a wedding there. This venue is good for wedding under 70 guests. Another location that I like a lot is Shadbolt Centre for the Arts (still in the deer lake area). I am not sure how big of a wedding you are planning to have... I've always like Room 102 on the main floor. It is a very open room... very good lighting. I am pretty sure you will be able to use the area right outside Room 102 for ceremony... but you better check with them to confirm.

For price...

But for this facility, they do have their own catering... so I am not sure if bringing-your-own-food is an option.

Also, been to a wedding at Mayfair lakes Golf Club in Richmond. It was a Beautiful outdoor wedding, but super hot (the wedding was in August) the venue holds 200 people.

Hope it helps!
