Vancouver Eastside Vineyard Church at St. David of Wales is a Vancouver church wedding venue with a rentable Sanctuary in East Vancouver. The church’s current rental page specifically lists weddings among the events the building can accommodate.

The venue is at 2475 Franklin Street in Vancouver’s Hastings-Sunrise area. This profile was last reviewed on August 11, 2026, using the church’s current official website and rental information.

Services and specialization

Vancouver Eastside Vineyard Church rents the St. David of Wales Anglican Church building for a range of events, including weddings. Its current rental listing identifies the Sanctuary as the room available for rent, making this a ceremony-focused option rather than a confirmed full-service wedding package.

The second-floor Sanctuary has stained-glass windows at the front and rear, a high ceiling, wooden beams, floors and fixed pews. A small sacristy connects to the stage area. Sound equipment, a projector and screen may be available on request, and Wi-Fi is listed as available. The official information does not state that officiating, catering, décor, coordination or reception service is included.

Service area and who it may suit

The venue is in East Vancouver near East Hastings Street and Nanaimo Street. It may suit couples seeking a church or sanctuary setting for a wedding ceremony in Vancouver, particularly those whose guest list fits the published Sanctuary capacity of 80 to 90 people.

The official page describes a small rear parking lot. The first floor is wheelchair accessible, and a stair lift is available for access to the second-floor Sanctuary. Couples planning for guests with mobility needs should confirm the lift process, seating arrangements and any assistance needed for their specific event.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is that weddings are expressly included in the church’s current rental uses. The Sanctuary’s stained glass, wooden beams, wooden floors and fixed pews provide clearly described architectural features for couples considering a traditional church setting. The connected sacristy may also be useful to discuss when planning ceremony logistics.

There are practical constraints to weigh. The Sanctuary is on the second floor, and its pews cannot be moved. The rental page lists only the Sanctuary as available, so couples needing a separate reception room or flexible seating should ask whether another on-site arrangement is possible. A small parking lot may not meet every guest group’s needs.

Published Sanctuary capacity: 80 to 90 people.
Published availability window: Monday to Saturday morning, afternoon or evening; Sunday after 6 p.m.
Fixed pews cannot be moved.

Pricing

Current pricing is explicitly published for the Sanctuary: $300 per hour, with a four-hour minimum. The venue also charges a building administration fee, with the amount dependent on the event.

This published rate is a starting point rather than a complete wedding budget. The official page does not specify the administration-fee amount or confirm what equipment, staffing, setup time, cleaning or other event needs are included. Request a written quote for the intended date and schedule.

Contact and booking

For rental inquiries, the official rentals page directs couples to its rental inquiry form. Questions can also be sent to the church office at vev@telus.net. The contact page lists 604-255-4463 and notes that administrative support during the week is limited, so leaving a message may be necessary.

The published availability windows do not guarantee a date. Treat an inquiry as the first step and ask the rental contact to confirm the date, contracted hours, access time, administration fee and any current policies before making related wedding bookings.

What couples should confirm

Confirm whether the requested booking is for a ceremony only or whether another part of the building can be made available. Ask about the complete rental contract, payment schedule, cancellation terms, insurance requirements, rehearsal access, setup and teardown times, use of the sacristy, sound support and the equipment available for the date.

The church links to standard rental policies that are subject to change. Couples should also confirm the rules for décor, flowers, photography, music, food and beverages, accessibility arrangements, parking, vendors and any requirements connected with holding a wedding ceremony at this church venue. The official page confirms venue rental for weddings but does not describe officiating or wedding-planning services.

Planning context

This listing is most useful for couples seeking a Vancouver church ceremony venue with a published hourly Sanctuary rate and a modest, documented capacity. It is not presented as a full-service wedding venue, so compare the rental details against the needs of the complete wedding day.

For broader research, use the Canada Wedding Guide directory and wedding planning guide alongside direct venue inquiries. That approach helps keep ceremony-space requirements, reception needs and supplier planning distinct.
