Best wedding venues in greater Vancouver for South Asian and multicultural weddings

South Asian WeddingMulticultural wedding
Written By Asad Jamil

Having shooting weddings from almost all cultures and ethnic backgrounds since 2014 I thought of guiding couples and their families who are searching for a good venue that is suitable for South Asian and Multicultural weddings. The price range and what each venue offer varies widely but as a photographer I feel that the below listed venues serve the above segment well.

The overall price, convenience and experience greatly vary with what vendors are chosen to work with such as decor,  florist, DJ, photo booth, caterer(if different from the venue’s in-house), photographer and videographer. Here are some that I think are worth exploring. These are some where I have experience working as photography and videography team. Watch the venue events from our lens, located across lower mainland BC including Vancouver, Surrey, Langley, Richmond, Tsawwassen and Abbotsford.
