Super venue at a fantastic price point!

The False Creek Yacht Club is right by the water with floor to ceiling windows looking out at a great view. This means that it feels even more spacious and you don't require much decor.

Booking the venue means you have access to parking for you, your guests, and your vendors (based on availability of the 46 spots in their parking lot). It also includes the bartending staff. The rentals and bar tab were less than we expected and unlike anyone else I know, we went under our budget on alcohol! Our honeymoon started in France, so we picked a French75 as our signature drink - the bartenders made it quickly and efficiently so everyone had a great cocktail hour as well as drinks for dancing and playing pool :)

FCYC was able to accommodate an entirely gluten free environment for the catering company and the process of choosing the layout and what we wanted was so easy. The DJ was able to set up his stuff on the table they provided and we had back up options from FCYC in case there was any kind of problem with the mics, etc. During the cocktail hour we had a slideshow running on their large TV.

Perks:
Great views and minimal decor needed
Dance floor by the bar/TV
Pool table for guests who don't like to dance
Parking downtown
Awesome staff and easy process
Outdoor patio with covered area and heaters (YES: smoking *IS* allowed)

I would 100% recommend the False Creek Yacht Club for anyone with a wedding of under 120 people. We were about 60 and it was perfect. Larger groups would need to move tables to use the dance floor, but our numbers worked out excellently.

I chose the False Creek Yacht Club (FCYC) as my reception venue for its perfect Yaletown location and jaw-dropping panoramic views of False Creek. It has always been my dream to have my wedding in downtown Vancouver, right by the water, and this venue completely fit the bill! While it is a bit weathered, the historic building has charming elements like a spiral staircase leading to the front entrance, and a wraparound balcony. The rental price was in line with other downtown venues and seated my 75 guests comfortably, with room leftover for the dance floor.

Thankfully, the yacht club did some restructuring with their wedding & events management department about a month prior to my wedding. While communication with them was initially frustrating, after they brought in their new operations manager, Rob Porter, the planning process went much more smoothly. Rob is very knowledgeable about the wedding industry, and worked very hard to make sure I had the wedding I envisioned. He works in tandem with Edgeceptional Catering, the Yacht Club's exclusive catering company, to provide delicious food as well. In the end, my new husband and I had a beautiful reception here. The evening was simply perfect and I cannot wait to see how the photos turned out!

I had my ceremony at False Creek Yacht Club, and I couldn't have done it anywhere better! All our guests loved the setting and took a LOT of photos - a beautiful scenery of False Creek and Granville Island! The day of our wedding was a really hot day, and I was so glad to hear they have AC! I would like to thank Darcy (Events Administrator) for being so accommodating by allowing us to come in afterhours for our rehearsal. Thank you so much!!

We rented the False Creek Yacht Club for our fall wedding. The venue location is amazing and has a great view of Granville Island. The decor could use a little bit of an upgrade.

We loved having our wedding reception at the FCYC. Beautiful location, very affordable, and the staff were friendly, accommodating, and honest (our bar bill was way less than we were expecting!). I recommend them 100%.
