Wedding Bells and Waterfront Swells: Your Guide to Weddings at Inn at the Quay
You’ve said yes. You’ve got the ring. Now comes the fun part: finding a venue that matches the magnitude of this moment. Spoiler alert… it’s not a generic ballroom with generic lighting and a generic bar package that runs out of the good stuff at 9 p.m. It’s Inn at the Quay!
Perched on the overwater edge of the Fraser River in New Westminster, Inn at the Quay offers something no ordinary venue can compete with. The river is always moving, shimmering, and putting on a show. On your wedding day? That gorgeous view is all yours.
The View That Steals the Show (In the Best Way)
We’re not talking about a garden-variety water feature. We’re talking about the Fraser River stretching wide and wild beneath you, catching the light in ways that will make your photographer weep with joy. Whether you’re exchanging vows at golden hour, toasting under a summer sky, or sneaking away for a quiet moment on the balcony, the backdrop does a lot of the heavy lifting.
A Celebration That Goes the Distance
A great wedding weekend isn’t just about the ceremony. It’s about the whole experience, and this is where Inn at the Quay quietly outshines the competition.
The Boathouse Restaurant sits right on our property, offering fresh Pacific Northwest seafood on an open-air patio with ever-changing river views. It’s the kind of spot where rehearsal dinners become legendary and post-wedding brunches turn into three-hour affairs nobody wants to end. Drink, dine, laugh and repeat as needed.
Make your big day extra sparkly with a riverfront celebration to remember. From intimate gatherings to larger festivities, the waterfront energy elevates every moment without you having to do a thing. The river handles the ambiance. You bring the dancing!
Guest Rooms Built for Something Special
Our overwater guest rooms were designed for indulgence, and weddings happen to be one of the best excuses to lean all the way in.
Enjoy plush robes that make mornings feel ceremonial, private balconies where you can watch the Fraser ripple by, plus, select rooms feature jetted tubs spacious enough for two. There are no overlooking buildings, no onlookers, just you, the river and all the quiet luxury of knowing you planned this perfectly.
Out-of-town guests will thank you. Staying on-site means more time celebrating and less time navigating logistics. It also means nobody is sneaking out early to beat traffic.
New Westminster: The City for a Perfect Wedding Weekend
Inn at the Quay sits in the heart of New Westminster, a city with far more personality than people give it credit for. The Quay Boardwalk is just steps away, perfect for a post-ceremony stroll or a golden hour photo moment. The River Market adds a local, artisan charm to any weekend itinerary. For guests who want to explore, Vancouver is just a SkyTrain or drive away.
t’s the kind of location that feels genuinely special without requiring everyone to travel to the middle of nowhere. Accessible, beautiful, and loaded with local character.
Why Inn at the Quay Just Makes Sense
Your wedding deserves more than fine. It deserves the river at your feet, a patio full of people who love you, rooms that feel like a reward, and a setting that people talk about long after the cake is gone.
