Pros and Cons of a Backyard Wedding in Vancouver, BC

An outdoor wedding in Vancouver, Canada, can offer a breathtaking experience, but it's essential to consider both the advantages and potential challenges. Here are some pros and cons:

Advantages

• Whether you envision your wedding in the backyard of a 20th-century Edwardian home or on a rooftop overlooking downtown Vancouver, the city offers an array of outdoor locations.

• Vancouver's natural beauty offers a stunning backdrop for fantastic wedding photos.

• There's an ample selection of affordable outdoor wedding locations and vendors for your wedding ceremony.

Disadvantages

• The winter in Vancouver is cold, rainy, and snowy. Rain showers can occur any time of the year. It's smart to have a backup plan in case of unexpected bad weather.

• Vancouver requires a permit for wedding events held in Vancouver public parks, and there may be noise ordinances in some areas. To be on the safe side, visit the City of Vancouver website, or give them a call. Do this well in advance since the permit process can be lengthy.

• Local squirrels and raccoons might attend your outdoor wedding if there's food. During the warmer months, mosquitoes, ants, and wasps can be pesky.

Send Invitations – Select invitations that reflect your wedding style, or make your own. Be sure to include the couple's names, date and time, location, directions, RSVP details, and your phone number in case of questions.

Saving Money on a Backyard Wedding in Vancouver, BC

Manage your budget and save money with the following suggestions from Giggster.

Can you avoid Vancouver's peak wedding season?

The months of July, August, and September are popular for weddings due to the beautiful outdoor weather in Vancouver, BC. If you can avoid these peak wedding season months, prices may be lower for goods and services.

Consider reducing your guest list.

The more guests you have, the higher your costs will be. With fewer people, you may be able to rent a smaller outdoor wedding venue, saving you money. You also save on the cost of food, drinks, and other needs.

Have you looked at all-in-one wedding venues?

Save money and time by selecting one outdoor wedding venue that accommodates all of your wedding-related activities. For example, why rent two venues, one for the ceremony and one for the reception, when there are venues that will accommodate both?
