Calculate the Budget – Real weddings mean real money. Let's get serious with the planning by first setting a sensible budget. Factor in the cost of the rental listing, seated dinner, personalized service, the dedicated experience, a wide array of entertainment options, and the expert support you will need throughout.
Choose the Right Hotel Venue – A Vancouver wedding is a special occasion. You want everything to be perfect and fit with your vision. We offer exemplary locations, such as rooftop terraces and grand ballrooms, located just a short walk from major tourist attractions. Remember, it's the early bird that catches the worm. So, start scouting our listings early and secure your wedding venue as soon as possible.
Reserve the Rooms – If you're opting for a ceremony at a restored heritage building, you may need to discuss alternative room options. Your guests should have a comfortable stay. Reserving the room blocks (for guests, family members, bridal suites, honeymoon suites) will ensure everything is taken care of with ease.
Hire a Wedding Planner – You may choose the wedding packages offered by the venue, or you may want to hire your own planner. Whatever the case, ensure you keep your stress to a minimum. If you budget for the wedding planner, you can delegate all the responsibilities to the planner (who will get everything done as you want). You can have a great time with your significant other, friends, and family members.
A hotel wedding in Vancouver can be absolutely stunning. We're your connection to magnificent venues, but wedding planning can be more than just finalizing a standout venue. It's also managing costs and budgeting. Thankfully, we offer hotel wedding venues starting as low as $30/hour so you can have the event space you've always dreamed of.
Can you book an off-season venue?
Grand ballrooms like those found at the Fairmont Waterfront, Georgian Court Hotel, and Vancouver Club are beautiful but quite pricy, especially during the wedding season. With Giggster, you can book a place for an unforgettable celebration throughout the year. However, if you want a further discount, book early and during the off-season from January to April, and early October to December.
Secure off-the-beaten-path locations.
Out of the way and unique locations can become the turning point of the wedding. Host your memorable events with a backdrop of the North Shore mountains, in East Vancouver, or Historic Gastown. By doing this, you'll save money and gain a prime location for your memorable day.
Can you curb catering expenses?
When you're budgeting, catering is usually the second largest chunk after the venue rental. If it's an intimate celebration, consider planning a post-wedding gathering in a stylish tea room, complete with snacks such as mini sandwiches, fruit platters, and more. There are other ways you can curb catering costs, like asking friends and family to contribute, or offering a buffet setup.
Giggster is a convenient platform to find the best wedding venues, including along Vancouver's pretty waterfront. We offer hotels, boutique spaces, rooftop terraces, and more that can rival even the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, Vancouver Convention Centre, and the Rosewood Hotel Georgia. With plenty of options, including exceptional scenery and memorable cuisine, you truly have nothing holding you back.
