If you’ve been dreaming of a Vancouver wedding that feels straight out of a storybook, Hycroft Manor is one of those venues that instantly delivers. This elegant Edwardian mansion feels like it was made for romantic, timeless celebrations—with manicured gardens, historic architecture, and interiors that carry so much character you barely need to add decor.
Located just minutes from downtown Vancouver, Hycroft somehow feels like a private escape from the city. From the moment you step onto the grounds, you’re surrounded by charm. It’s the kind of venue that feels both grand and intimate at the same time, which is a rare combination to find. As a photographer, it’s one of those places where every corner has something to offer, and every space feels intentional.
Already feeling like this could be “the one”? I don’t blame you. But before you book, here’s everything you need to know about hosting a wedding at Hycroft Manor.
A Convenient Location (Right in the Heart of Vancouver)
One of the best things about Hycroft is how close it is to everything. Located just five minutes from downtown Vancouver, it’s incredibly convenient for both couples and guests, especially when it comes to transportation and accommodations. It's ideal for those having a destination wedding or couples that have a lot of guests coming in from out of town.
Ceremony & Reception Spaces
One of the biggest advantages of Hycroft is the number of ceremony and reception options available, which makes it incredibly flexible depending on your guest count, season, and overall vision. Outdoor ceremonies can take place in the Rose Garden (up to 100 guests), which brings in beautiful greenery and soft floral backdrops. The Juliette Balcony offers a more intimate elevated option for up to 60 guests, while the Terrace provides a stunning open-air space with mountain views for up to 100 guests.
For receptions and dining, you have multiple indoor and outdoor options depending on your flow for the day. The Drawing Room is ideal for more intimate gatherings of up to 50 guests, while the Grand Ballroom and Terrace can each accommodate up to 100 guests for dining and celebration. The beauty of Hycroft is how seamlessly the day can move between spaces without feeling scattered and disjointed.
What’s Included in the Wedding Package
Hycroft’s wedding packages include a lot of the essentials already built in, which makes planning feel a little easier. Couples have access to a wide range of tables, including 60” rounds, banquet tables, cocktail tables, and bistro setups. You’ll also find white resin garden chairs or red and gold banquet chairs, depending on your aesthetic.
The venue includes classic wedding essentials like a vintage signing table and chair, white linens and napkins, full tableware and stemware, bar glassware, a podium, and even cloakroom access for guests. Outdoor furniture, patio umbrellas, and garden seating are also included, which is a big plus for terrace celebrations.
On the operational side, Hycroft also provides serving and bar staff, a full setup of venue and catering items, and a front door security staff member for the event.
Why a Wedding Planner is Required
One important thing to know about Hycroft is that a professional wedding planner or day-of coordinator is required for all weddings. This planner must be bondable and hold valid WCB coverage. While this might feel like an extra step, it actually plays a big role in protecting both you and the venue.
Hycroft is a historic property with multiple indoor and outdoor spaces, which means logistics like timing, guest flow, vendor coordination, and preservation of the space need to be carefully managed. Having a professional planner ensures everything runs smoothly so you can focus on actually enjoying your day instead of managing it.
