Get Married at The Sanctuary!

If you are looking for the ambiance of a bright, beautiful, uplifting space, we recommend our historic sanctuary, which accommodates up to 300 people and has full sound equipment. The Sanctuary is a unique heritage venue space and one of the most sought-after wedding venues in Vancouver, so we recommend booking well in advance! (Email info@vancouverunitarians.ca for inquiries.)

For smaller groups, we also have more intimate settings, such as the Fireside Room.

A lay chaplain of the Unitarian Church of Vancouver would be honoured to officiate at your wedding. We will partner with you to create a joyful, transformative and memorable experience. As Unitarians, we are experts at integrating diverse traditions into ceremonies. We combine our experience and time honoured resources with creative input that expresses your values and uniqueness.

Your wedding means more to you than a legal ceremony. We will work together to bring alive the essence, spirit and beauty of this special life event. On your behalf, we can arrange for musicians and other requests to enrich the ceremony.

 

About Our Unitarian and Lay Chaplains

Unitarians honour beliefs from many traditions, allowing us to be open in our spiritual journeys. We are guided by our seven principles and enriched by the teachings of many modern and ancient cultures and faith groups.

Unitarian lay chaplains have been providing meaningful rites of passage across Canada since 1970. We bring experience, skill, compassion and creativity to the hundreds of weddings and other ceremonies performed every year.
