Since 2007, we’ve had the privilege to work directly with a number of outstanding Vancouver wedding vendors that are highly experienced in hosting and serving both big and small events. These special events range from small birthday celebrations to large corporate conferences, and of course, weddings!
Being photographers gives us a unique insight into the quality of services offered by these vendors. We have the privilege of hearing in-the-moment reviews directly from their clients, both the good and bad. Based on our experience, we’ve put together a starter list of some of the best Vancouver wedding vendors and services our region has to offer. This is not a exhaustive list, but one you can start with to start planning for your wedding day. If you interested in learning about the best Vancouver wedding venues, we’ve got a list for that as well.
