Metropolitan Hotel Vancouver

At Metropolitan Hotel Vancouver, a wedding unfolds in the centre of downtown, with light filled event rooms and guest rooms with balconies just an elevator ride away.

The hotel stands on Howe Street, close to many of the city's best known attractions, with a SkyTrain station about two minutes from the door. That makes it simple for guests arriving from the airport or across the region.

There are seven event rooms in total. The Cristal Room is the largest, seating about 120 for a banquet or welcoming up to 250 for a standing reception, while the Vancouver Room seats about 120 and the Pacific Room about 80. Smaller rooms such as the Library and the Connaught suit rehearsal dinners, showers and morning after brunches.

Suite spaces add a more intimate option for micro weddings, small receptions and a private room for getting ready.

Marriott Certified Wedding Planners help shape the day, from setting a budget and choosing a menu to arranging table settings and finding florists, photographers and musicians. The catering team offers a wide range of menus for every kind of guest.

With 197 rooms, many with balconies, plus a fitness centre with a sauna, the whole wedding party can stay under one roof.

For couples who picture an elegant downtown celebration with everything close at hand, Metropolitan Hotel Vancouver offers a wedding that is easy for guests and carefully planned from start to finish.
