The Gardens at HCP

Our Couvelier Pavilion provides a climate-controlled reception area and ceremony backup, replete with red cedar beams and unique Pacific Northwest architecture. At HCP we know that your love is too big and joyous to be kept indoors – that’s why when you say your vows in our outdoor ceremony area, you will find yourselves accompanied by birdsong, joined by soaring eagles, and surrounded by flora whilst the waters of our conservation park sparkle in the background. Our Couvelier Pavilion provides a climate-controlled reception area and ceremony backup, replete with red cedar beams and unique Pacific Northwest architecture. We offer a variety of wedding and elopement packages in our beautiful Gardens. Questions? Interested in a site visit? Contact HCP’s Venue Coordinator at events@hcp.ca. We are so excited to turn your dream of an outdoor wedding into a reality. The Gathering Place is the beautiful, circular brick area where we host wedding ceremonies. The Pavilion refers to the Couvelier Pavilion, the building where we hold receptions and events. HCP has a max capacity of 100 (including the wedding party). We love small weddings, and we cannot wait to host a gathering of your close family and friends. The elopement package gives you access to the garden of your choice for 3 hours, to say your vows and take pictures. HCP provides seating for up to 10 guests, and a signing table (with a white linen tablecloth). The elopement package does not give you access to the Pavilion or the Gathering Place. HCP’s Venue Coordinator will be onsite for the entire duration of your wedding, to supervise the event and provide whatever assistance you require. If desired, ask the Venue Coordinator for a list of preferred caterers. We have a wheelchair ramp from the parking lot to the Gardens, a ground level Pavilion with an accessible washroom, and sloping gravel paths connecting the Pavilion to the Gathering Place. If it rains, the Pavilion will also be available as a backup.
