Advantages
Vancouver offers panoramic views at every turn, with mountains, forests, and vast water bodies surrounding the city. They add to the city's beauty, making it a lovely setting for outdoor events.
Vancouver is easily accessible from other British Columbia cities. Invite out-of-town guests, and they will arrive on time and comfortably navigate their way around town.
This BC city has a fantastic food scene. Most event spaces offer catering services and can personalize the menu options to your liking.
Disadvantages
You will have temperature control issues at an outdoor event venue. However, you can find sun-shaded spaces or covered patios offering the best views for the occasion.
Public transit might be reliable, but the rush hour traffic doesn't make it the best way to navigate the city. Therefore, handle transport logistics if you rent a venue outside downtown Vancouver.
Parking is yet another issue to deal with, and you may want to rent a venue in Vancouver with an on-site lot.

Save by admiring the beauty of the garden.

Ask for help.
If you're the type to undertake all of the party planning, change your typical method for this garden party and allow others to get creative with the venue setup, food prep and contribution, and even the cleanup afterward.
Plan a casual, daytime menu.
It's more affordable to plan a casual event than a formal gathering. Organize a backyard BBQ party with burgers and hot dogs or a pool party with sandwiches and a selection of seasonal fruit.
