That is why we decided to share a list of the best outdoor event spaces and inspire you a little with the type of event you could host there. So, keep on reading!
Nature-Inspired Events
Event Space #1
VanDusen Botanical Garden
A beautiful outdoor garden boasting a diverse ecosystem with over 7,500 plant species and varieties from around the world! Its landscapes offer tranquility, making it the perfect event space for a nature-immersed experience. And hey, you might stumble upon some local wildlife, so talk about making it wild.
Event Space #2
UBC Botanical Garden
A little heaven on earth, with its biodiversity oasis gardens filled with diverse plant life, greenery, and draped in vines for that mysterious atmosphere. Do not miss out on this one as it is most popular during July and August.
Suggested themes:
Green Garden Celebration:
Imagine an event space inspired by the tea party charm of the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland, taking your ordinary garden party to an exciting and magical event. This theme can be quite sustainable, too, as we can use fun dishes and maybe have a potted plant decoration contest that attendees could take home.
Winter Wonderland:
Winter in August? Definitely a great way to surprise your guests, so transform the garden into a winter wonderland, with snow, blue, white, and silver décor, or take a twist on it by sprinkling a little Paris into the mix, like our ‘Love in Paris’ theme.
Waterfront and Yacht Club Events
Event Space #3
False Creek Yacht Club
You heard it, a party on a Yacht, sign us up! With its beautiful marina views, docked on the shores of Vancouver’s False Creek, it is the perfect setting for an exclusive event. The venue features a lounge and deck that offer panoramic views of the waters, providing an ideal backdrop for guests to unwind and connect.
Suggested themes:
High Seas Celebration
What if we told you that you can have a cruise around the world without having to travel? Well, this theme is all about that. In this event design, we visit different countries such as Mexico, Greece, and Jamaica. After we docked at their port, we experienced their cultural cuisine and entertainment.
How is that for broadening your horizons all the way from Vancouver?
Historic or Iconic Venue Events
Event Space #4
Terminal City Club
This venue just screams luxury, with its blend of classic architecture and modern style, perfect for high-profile guests seeking exclusivity while celebrating on a patio overlooking the city life under the stars.

If you are looking for an iconic location, Brockton Pavilion takes the win, with its charm and breathtaking views of Stanley Park. Vancouver is a must for that secluded, intimate vibe which is ideal for corporate retreats.
Suggested themes:
Speakeasy – Roaring Twenties:
Visualize yourself on a patio dressed up classily as if you were straight from the 1920s, full of adrenaline from consuming illegal alcohol, bribes, doing an old-fashioned jailbreak, and playing at the casino with your best colleagues. That is something to remember, we know that is right.
Wild West Hoe Down:
Or if the roaring twenties is not your cup of tea, then head down to the Wild West, cowboys! Featuring Klondike-era entertainment with dancing girls and casino games, a wide variety of foods, from dainty finger food to finger-licking good BBQ dishes, all surrounded by décor to recreate an authentic-looking Western town complete with storefronts, boardwalks, and hay bales.
Rooftop Events with a View

The Park, JW Marriot Parq Rooftop

Event Space #10 The Roof at Black & Blue

So, if you are looking an event space that is for elegance with a touch of glamour, then this location is supreme for gourmet events, cocktail parties, and social gatherings.
Suggested themes:
Las Vegas Casino Night:
Turn that rooftop into a casino night!! But Las Vegas style, you know how it is: what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!
Shagadelic 60s:
Just in case you’re feeling a little groovy, then why not hop back into the 60s, get that inner Austin Powers to live, with vibrant 60s theme!
