Ground Transportation
Uber offers good transport services in and around Vancouver. However, a car rental is recommended for the drive between wedding venues. A rental from the airport will provide the best flexible times for pickup and drop off, although the rental fee may be higher.
EXchange Hotel Vancouver - An Executive Hotel
The staff at this hotel are friendly and professional. The hotel is in a good area within walking distance to the waterfront. The neighborhood sees mostly foot traffic from local office workers or travelers. There is an underground parking available. If staying in Vancouver, it will be safest to stay within the Downtown Vancouver, Westend, or Yaletown areas. Avoid the area east of Gastown.
Air BnB
AirBnB offers rentals in B.C. There are rentals outside of Vancouver in Burnaby and Surrey, which are good locations in between the two wedding venues. We suggest booking through their app.
Parking in British Columbia
Many cities in B.C. use parking apps for city-owned parking spaces. The City of Vancouver uses the PayByPhone app. We suggest setting up the app before arriving.
