Who woulda thunk finding the right place would be so difficult?!?!?? Sunny and I need all the help we can get! We want to get married outdoors (preferably a place that has an indoor option as well. JUST IN CASE!) and have the reception at a Chinese restaurant. We’ve seen quite a few places, but still haven’t been able to decide. Here’s what we’ve come up with so far…
For the ceremony:
-
- Park by Horizons on
- Mayfair Lakes Golf and Country Club – looks great! My mom likes it too, but they have a food and beverages minimum that I’m worried about.
- Diamond Alumni Centre (at SFU) – not outdoor =(
- Queen Elizabeth – too public
And for the reception:
-
- Radisson (
- Hyatt (on Burrard) – this place is a no because they give priority to businesses. Meaning, we can only book the place 6 months in advance AND even then, they can kick us out if they need to.
- We’ve been to a few other smaller Chinese restaurants but most of them fell short. Many were just way too small or way too UGLY! Some that had nice décors were oddly shaped and/or had pillars in the way (e.g. Fisherman’s Terrace and
Please give us some suggestions for other places and/or comments on the places that I’ve mentioned! Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!

Sweet Jesus! I can't believe my cousin's getting married! Just a warning, I'm gonna be leaving an extra long comment here.
So I attended a wedding over the long weekend, and I had to tell you guys about it! The ceremony was at Swan-E-Set bay Resort & Country Club (http://www.swaneset.com/). The view was spectacular! There's an indoor area in case the weather goes bad. And that's where we had some refreshments.
They had their cake cutting right after their ceremony, which I liked because you're usually stuffed after dinner right? Let's see, what else...? They had awesome photography. The photographers took pictures during the morning and ceremony and put them all into a slide show accompanied by music and showed it during the reception. The most moving thing ever! All their pictures were so natural and simple, really elegant. (http://www.storybookphoto.ca/links.htm)
The reception was in a ballroom at Hyatt, but their Chinese food was catered in from Victoria Chinese Restaurant downstairs. About $500 per table I think it was?
Yeah, their wedding was simple and intimate, and it was all in English ^.^v Check out their website: http://evarolandwedding.googlepages.com/
EE! I'm really excited about your guy's wedding next year! Let the count down begin~~~
