Where to Stay
Rosewood Hotel Georgia is located in downtown Vancouver while the ceremony at Our Lady of Mercy is in Burnaby. We suggest staying at a hotel downtown if you would like to be closer to the reception. Staying in Burnaby, around the Metrotown area, is in between both locations making it a great spot to stay at as well.

MUST SEE
Grouse Mountain - Known for its outstanding view of Vancouver and the grouse grind (Mother Nature’s Stair master). One of earlier dates was doing the grouse grind, because if you can climb this mountain, you can get through anything.
Stanley Park/Seawall - 400-hectare natural West Coast rainforest and enjoy scenic views of water, mountains, sky, and majestic trees. We recommend renting a bike and biking around the seawall!
Granville Island Public Market - Popular indoor market with restaurants, bars & cafes, plus gourmet food stalls & artisan boutiques. For fun, take the aqua bus from Science World.
Gastown - Charming cobblestone streets, savour craft breweries, trendy eateries, and see the famous steam clock in action. We love strolling around here.
Whistler - An hour and 30 minutes away from Vancouver, Whistler is known for one of the largest ski resorts in North American. However, Whistler in the summer is a hidden gem. Amongst many activities we recommend biking along the Whistler Trail and visiting Scandinave Spa.
Bonus: Visit the spot where Andro proposed, Nita Lake in Nita Lake Lodge!
