Travel Guide

  • Our wedding weekend coincides with World Cup matches in Vancouver, so we strongly recommend booking accommodations as early as you can.

    Vancouver is not a very big city, and getting around is relatively easy. Staying downtown is convenient, but it is absolutely fine to stay in nearby suburbs like Burnaby or Richmond and Uber to and from the venue. Rideshares are reliable, and travel times are reasonable. Alternatively, the Vancouver SkyTrain is a fast, automated subway connecting downtown with the city’s neighborhoods. It’s easy to use and perfect for getting around without a car.

    If you are one of Jerry and PO’s friends coming from SoCal, feel free to ping us. A group of friends has an Airbnb reserved for the weekend, and there may be space to crash if you want to join the LA crew.

  • The easiest option is flying into Vancouver International Airport (YVR), which is about 15 minutes from the wedding venue by car.

    Another great option is flying into Seattle (SEA) and driving up to Vancouver. The drive takes about 2.5 to 3 hours, and it is a fun way to see both cities if you are making a longer trip out of it.

  • If you have time to explore, here are five things we love:

    1. Big Way Hot Pot on Robson (Google Maps)

      Malatang — a build-your-own hot pot soup spot beloved by Jerry and PO.

      There are several locations across the city and its neighbourhoods.

    2. Cactus Club Cafe at Canada Place (Google Maps)

      A classic Vancouver premium-casual chain serving modern, elevated comfort food. Jerry (and Drake) are big fans of the Peach Bellinis.

      There are several locations across the city and its neighbourhoods.

    3. Zakkushi Dining on Denman (Google Maps)

      An authentic Japanese yakitori restaurant that hosted many dates where PO talked about his days living in Japan. If it’s on the menu, order the shirako. Enjoy!

    4. Breka Bakery & Cafe on Bute (Google Maps)

      A 24/7 bakery and café serving baked goods and sweet treats, perfect for all day & late-night temptations.

      There are several locations across the city and its neighbourhoods.

    5. Earnest Ice Cream on Quebec St (Google Maps)

      Forget Rain or Shine — this is hands-down Vancouver’s best ice cream! Go for the rotating seasonal flavours or the classic Salted Caramel. Consider visiting after the wedding.

    Vancouver offers many great food and drink options. If you’re serious about the exploration, visit the Vancouver Michelin Guide. Alternatively, just ask Jerry and PO.
