A perfect venue that doesn’t require any further decorating!

The Bloedel Conservatory was the most perfect and intimate way to have our ceremony. Not only were staff very communicative and timely with answering questions, but the venue itself is perfect for any couple looking for a unique and memorable event space.
We invited our guests to come in before the ceremony and it set the mood for an adventurous night. Everything from the tropical plants, lighting and birds at the venue were stunning and that’s without us doing any setup or decorating! So anyone looking for a venue that is in itself a showstopper, this is the place!

Wedding Elopement

We were looking for a venue for our wedding elopement ceremony with a handful of our family members. Bloedel was the perfect space that captured our love of natural surroundings, and felt like a “destination wedding” at home. We didn’t have to worry about the weather as we were inside the tropical dome and it would be beautiful and warm regardless. It was an amazing experience, the planning process went so smoothly and Lindsey and Maria were great at answering our questions so quickly. On the morning of everyone was so helpful and ensured everything went on time and as planned. Our photos will be apart of our most cherished memories. Thank you to the entire Bloedel team :)

Beautiful Venue

This conservatory holds a special place in our hearts as we had one of our first dates here four years before our wedding. Communication with them was great, and everything went well.
While the venue is stunning, one thing to remember is that it is a bird conservatory! If you book here for your day don’t expect them to be silent during your ceremony. We and our guests found it hilarious and loved every minute of Blanca squawking through our vows and we wouldn’t of changed it for the world.

Perfect for a small party

Booking a date with Bloedel for our small wedding was super easy and very worth the money spent. This venue was beautiful and we got some beautiful photos of the space with all of our family.

We are going to come back as regular visitors to enjoy the moment again.

The perfect spot for an intimate ceremony

We were looking for a reasonably priced venue in Vancouver for a ceremony for less than ten people and Bloedel checked off all the boxes. We looked a variety of options including City Hall, outdoor gardens, and some restaurants and found that Bloedel was the best value by far. It was not much more expensive than City Hall and offered a lot more in terms of the scenery and we had the venue for longer. It was great that Seasons in the Park was next door so an easy choice for a dinner afterwards to celebrate. Bloedel was quick to answer all our questions and the process was straightforward to book! Our ceremony was in the evening slot from 4:15 to 6:15PM and lined up perfectly with golden hour so our outdoor photos overlooking the city are gorgeous, along with our photos inside the conservatory. We liked that the venue didn't need decorating given the atmosphere and it's standing room only so all we did was bring a linen for the signing table and kept it simple.

Spectacular

Would highly recommend to anyone who loves greenery. The booking process was simple and painless. The staff were pleasant and very responsive. Events are restricted to before and after regular hours. This timing may not work for everyone, but if it does, this venue is well worth it.

Tropical wedding in Canada

We had an intimate elopement at the conservatory. They were so amazing to work with. It was nice and warm in there thankfully because it was COLD when we got married. The flowers and birds was the perfect setting for having a tropical wedding in Canada!
