Vancouver Maritime Museum

At the Vancouver Maritime Museum, a wedding comes with the sea air of English Bay and the North Shore Mountains rising across the water.

The museum sits on the shore in Vancouver, and its rental spaces combine open views over the harbour with the character of a place filled with exhibits and artifacts from the city's life on the water.

Couples can choose from several ceremony settings: aboard the historic St. Roch, beside the Heritage Harbour, in the Events Gallery or outside on the Terrace.

The Terrace is an open air space of about 1,700 square feet looking out over English Bay, the harbour and the mountains, and it is always paired with an indoor room in case the weather changes.

Indoors, the Lobby has floor to ceiling windows facing the harbour and works well for cocktails or dancing, while the bright Events Gallery offers a private room with large windows, built in audio visual equipment and access to the kitchen. The spaces can be rented alone or together, right up to the entire museum.

For couples who picture exchanging vows with the ocean and mountains behind them, the Vancouver Maritime Museum offers a seaside wedding with a sense of history and adventure.
