Robert H. Lee Alumni Centre

Located in the heart of the University of British Columbia’s Vancouver campus, the Robert H. Lee Alumni Centre is a hidden gem that blends West Coast architecture with contemporary elegance—offering a unique and memorable setting for your wedding day. With soaring glass walls, natural cedar accents, and sleek modern furnishings, this award-winning space is the perfect canvas for your dream celebration.

Couples can host both ceremonies and receptions in the spacious Jack Poole Hall, which accommodates 280 seated guests with room for a dance floor. The venue’s flexible layout allows for a seamless transition from ceremony to reception, while guests enjoy cocktails in the stylish Wong-Trainor Welcome Centre. Additional spaces include a complimentary bridal room, classrooms for quick changes, and—for a small upgrade fee—the Koerner Family Terrace Lounge: an exclusive penthouse suite ideal for tea ceremonies or pre-wedding prep.

The Alumni Centre’s experienced event team provides exceptional service from planning to execution, supported by professional catering partners and a commercial kitchen. Couples may also bring their own alcohol under a special occasion permit. Rental packages include setup, teardown, AV equipment, and evening security, with discounts available for UBC alumni and their children.
