Want a sun-drenched wedding party? Try Bridges!
June 29, 2009
Thea and I met recently with Susan at Bridges Restaurant, and got acquainted with this lovely wedding venue. Bridges has a beautiful waterfront location in the heart of Vancouver, on beautiful Granville Island, and so naturally attracts lots of events — weddings, corporate events, and private parties.
The capacity of Bridges’ is quite large – they can handle cocktail parties for up to 300 guests, and plated meals for as many as 150; their menu always includes seasonal seafood, such as halibut (May through September), or Sablefish (October through April), as well as Atlantic Lobster, Sockeye Salmon, and quality vegetarian, beef, or chicken dishes. Yum! Of course one Bridge’s best features is its sun-drenched deck – I used to work near Granville Island, and spent a few relatively ‘liquid’ afternoons in bliss there!
Susan, the catering manager for the venue, is an old-fashioned romantic at heart, and loves to connect with the wedding party, and always goes out of her way to make sure everything is completely top-notch. We like the fact that it is one of the few venues that does not charge a wedding party a plating fee, for cutting and serving the wedding cake – usually an unshakeable budget item!
Make sure Bridges Restaurant is on your list of locations to check out for your wedding reption, and give Susan a call. I am sure you will be also impressed with this lovely venue!
