Fun facts

How did the venue become a wedding venue?

John Montgomery, park gardener for Stanley Park in 1910, “planted” the Rock Garden. To accommodate park visitors, construction begins on the Stanley Park Pavilion. Otto Moberg, architect for the CP Rail chalets and lodges in Banff and Lake Louise, designed the Pavilion in a Swiss-chalet style using fieldstone and wood. The Stanley Park Pavilion opened to the public in 1911 and quickly became the central meeting and socializing area within the entire Park.

What is your favorite part about a wedding?

One of the best parts of working at Stanley Park Pavilion is the emotion that fills the air the moment a ceremony begins; it never fails to bring tears to our eyes! There’s something magical about witnessing that first look between the couple and their guests, and later, seeing their faces light up when they step into the space we’ve prepared just for them. In that instant, all the planning and hard work come together, and it’s pure joy to share in such a meaningful moment.
