When it comes to Vancouver wedding venues that combine natural beauty, classic charm, and unforgettable moments, few places rival a UBC Golf Club wedding. This real wedding story highlights just how magical the day can be — from an emotional first look at the UBC Rose Garden, to heartfelt toasts and a surprise song from the bride herself.

The day began with a breathtaking first look at the UBC Rose Garden — one of Vancouver’s most iconic and scenic spots. Perched above the ocean with panoramic views of the North Shore Mountains and surrounded by lush flowers, it was the perfect setting for a quiet, emotional moment before the ceremony. The soft light, the fresh sea breeze, and the intimacy of the garden set the tone for a love-filled day ahead.

The ceremony took place on the garden lawn at the UBC Golf Club, nestled among tall evergreens and manicured hedges.  As the couple exchanged vows under an elegant floral arch, there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd. The open-air setting felt intimate yet spacious — a peaceful escape right within the city.

The reception inside the UBC Golf Club’s Banquet Room was a perfect blend of timeless elegance and personal touches. Floor-to-ceiling windows filled the space with natural light as guests dined, laughed, and toasted the newlyweds.

One of the cutest moments of the evening came when the bride surprised everyone by singing a song live wth her choir group. Her voice filled the room with the help of her friends, and the emotion was electric. It was a moment of pure magic and a beautiful surprise moment for the groom.
