Elements Events - I have met Slavita and was impressed.  She had great ideas and was also flexible with how she'd help.  She was one of the few wedding planners who will move items, with in reason of course, between venues.  Defintely worth inquiring.

My favorite venues

The Sutton Place Hotel - they know what customer service is all about.  The rooms are beautiful.  http://www.vancouver.suttonplace.com/

Brock House - Right on the beach and the staff are amazing.  I have heard that Brock House recommend a certain DJ due to there venue having old wiring.  The DJ they recommend isn't the most flexible with music.  Something to address while you are there.

The Main Street Heritage Hall is also a great venue.  The walls are now a nice tan/cream colour.  The pink is gone!
