The Vancouver Club · A real wedding
Kylene + John
A little elegance. A lot of feeling.

The people make the day
Before the vows,
a connection.
Kylene and John first met Madalena and Marcelo at a friend’s wedding on Gambier Island. When their own day came, they invited Sambajoy to tell the story.
At The Vancouver Club, John’s tears as Kylene walked down the aisle—and their dog Rupert by his side—made an elegant day unmistakably theirs.
01 / The promise
The room. The people. The moment.



From Madalena’s journal
The place is beautiful.
The feeling stays.
This was our first wedding at The Vancouver Club. What stayed with me was John’s reaction, Rupert beside him, and the candle-filled reception Shirley from Filosophi created.
02 / Just the two of you
A breath of city air.

03 / Let the evening happen
And then, back to each other.

One wedding. One way to make it yours.
Still finding your place?
A place is only the beginning
Your people.
Your kind of day.
Let’s make room for the moments you can’t plan. Tell me a little about the two of you.
