VanDusen Botanical Garden offers some of the most uniquely spectacular settings for your outdoor wedding. Picture yourself at the top of the Great Lawn with stunning azalea beds, flowering trees and peonies as the backdrop. This picturesque lawn area offers views across the treetops to the majestic North Shore Mountains. The Great Lawn can accommodate wedding ceremonies up to 120 guests.

The gently sloping lawns adjacent to Heron Lake have been featured as a romantic location in many Hollywood movies. Now, this idyllic setting, with the lake and its willow trees, is available for smaller wedding ceremonies of up to 100 guests.

Meadow Pond, secluded at the south west corner of the Garden, is available for wedding ceremonies of up to 30 guests.

Whether you choose vibrant floral, serene water, or a secluded garden, all backdrops will provide a memorable setting for your special day.
