Wedding venues on Vancouver Island

Charming and open till midnight. Out in nature — barely any décor required.

You must hire at least a coordinator, but you can make it your own — far less structured.

Full buyout price; partial rental from $1,250. Rustic, best in peak summer — you organise everything.

Close to town, with everything done in-house. Sold as a hotel package, so the room block is the real cost.

Tables, chairs, place settings and a day-of coordinator are included in the fee.

All-inclusive food and beverage package at $129 per adult, and one of the latest finishes around.

Affordable, close, tables included. The ceremony space isn’t ideal.

Price includes an open bar. Ends early and it’s a drive, so an after-party takes planning.

There’s a cost calculator on their site. This price is for 75 guests.

BYOB, and a long way from town.

Beautiful, but genuinely far from the city.

Hire a coordinator and bring everything in — a blank canvas for 150.

Close to town with everything in-house. The late finish only works in the Spirit Room; the ballroom and patio wind down at 11 p.m.

Harbour views — and the room doesn’t feel like a hotel ballroom.

Two-night buyout ($3,306/night) plus a $200pp food minimum — about $24,500 for 60 before décor and DJ.

$27k minimum, and they expect you to fill the hotel both nights. Realistically $40–50k.

Small. They rarely host weddings but are open to it.

Ceremony and cocktail reception only.

Daytime only. Stunning in spring for an intimate ceremony.

Seating for 90, arch, tables, AV and a prep kitchen included.

Oceanside. The reception room design reads a little stuffy.

Only chairs are included — bring everything else in.

Rentals run in three-hour blocks only.

Very cute. Ends early.

House-party vibe, cozy. They say 70 fits — it would be tight. Two-night stay; email for rate.

Small restaurant event space for private events of 10–60 guests. Confirm that a wedding reception is possible before you commit.

Price via friends. The smaller library room (about 40 guests) runs around $12,000.

Food, beverage, catering and a planner are not included.

Indoor hall plus a garden you can license for the ceremony. Winter rates (Nov–Apr) are 25% off.

Whole building and grounds, tables, chairs and a staff person. Excellent preferred caterers. (2024 price)

Dinner, appies, wine, a champagne happy hour and late-night pizza all included.

On the rocks at the end of Chesterman Beach. Storm-watching in winter, elopements year-round.

A cedar great room right on Cox Bay, with the surf through the windows.

Beachfront suites on Cox Bay — easy for a small group who want to stay together.

A timber lodge on a quiet headland between the village and Chesterman Beach.

Rainforest paths beside Clayoquot Sound — small ceremonies under the cedars.

Glass and stone on the rocks in Ucluelet, with the ocean on three sides.

Lodges and yurts on a quiet stretch of coast south of Ucluelet.

Reception only: they do not hold ceremonies out of respect for other guests. No outside food or alcohol and no corkage, but the resort handles liquor licensing and SOCAN fees.

Community hall with a stage and partial kitchen, plus two small heritage buildings on the grounds. No overnight stays, and no confetti, glitter, rice or birdseed.

Rustic lakeview farm with a bench-seated ceremony site. The fee covers set-up, owner clean-up, chairs, lighting and sound, parking and a bridal suite.

Inexpensive rural hall with a 450 sq ft kitchen, 200+ chairs, 50 tables and a stage included. Confirm alcohol rules with the hall.

Cheap rural hall that runs until 2 a.m. You arrange your own Special Occasion Licence. No confetti ($30/hr cleanup charge), and you clean the kitchen yourself.

Package covers room, linens, glassware, coordinator, dance floor and a King Suite night, but food and drink must come from Crown Isle ($250 fee for outside food, cakes excepted). The driving range closes up to an hour for gazebo ceremonies.

Tiny 21 x 34 ft hall with 48 chairs, 10 tables and a kitchen. Very cheap, but capacity tops out at 80, there are no stag parties, and you arrange your own alcohol permit and insurance.

13-acre organic farm with tents, kitchen and bar area included, so it suits DIY couples with a caterer. Guests use an outhouse and port-a-potties, and you arrange your own liquor permit and insurance.

Very low-cost hall with a 1 a.m. finish and a stocked kitchen. The island ferry schedule, not the hall, is what will limit off-island guests.

Upgraded 30 x 50 ft hall with a kitchen, bar area and patio. Cheap for a full day, but budget for a $500 damage deposit, a $250 membership, your own liquor licence and insurance, and be out by 10 a.m. next day.

10 forested acres with a spring-fed pond and orchard, rented as a whole property with two suites included. DIY-friendly, but the noise bylaw and 11 p.m. cutoff are strict and prime dates go fast.

Cheap, small regional district hall with a non-commercial kitchen; fine for an elopement or very small reception. There's no on-site caretaker, and alcohol needs a Liquor Control Branch permit.

Cheapest big room in Ganges but heritage-building limits apply: no accessible bathroom, no candles, no marks on walls, and rentals only in the arts council's shoulder seasons (not peak summer).

Waterfront hall with a timber-frame room, ocean balcony and clear published tiers. Check what's bundled in each tier, and note no candles or open flame.

An 1889 barrel-vaulted hall with tables and chairs included, and one of the cheapest reception halls around. You supply linens, insurance ($5M) and the liquor permit; the bar stops selling tickets 30 minutes before close.

Package includes linens, glassware, podium, coordinator and a professional bartender, but all food and alcohol must come from the resort. Only the main floor and decks of Raven Lodge are licensed; the outdoor ceremony site seats 88 on 22 benches.

All-inclusive packages with an in-house planner, outdoor bar with bartender, PA and venue clean-up. Adults only (16+), no pets, and no kitchen, so caterers use a prep area.

DIY-style package where you bring the caterer and vendors. About a 10-minute walk up from the Otter Bay ferry terminal.

Harbourfront room on the dock at the end of the West Coast Road. Tables, chairs, heaters, sound and a bar area are included; catering, bartender and coordination are extra.

Cheap community hall: $1,000 covers the whole wedding weekend. No in-house catering, and you need a special occasion licence plus $2M liquor liability insurance before getting the keys. No stag or bachelorette parties.

Hotel wedding with a clear $10,000 summer weekend minimum that rolls venue, food and drink together. No outside food or drink (cakes from licensed bakeries excepted) and no day-of coordinator provided.

Low-cost hall rate: a 2,652 sq ft hall with commercial kitchen and stage in downtown Qualicum Beach. Confirm alcohol and catering rules with the hall.

Exclusive-use 6,000 sq ft log lodge on five acres for weddings of up to 50, with a four-night stay and overnight rooms for 25. Bring your own caterer or self-cater. Not the place for big or all-night parties.

Exclusive two-night lakefront buyout with a chef's kitchen for your own caterer. Hosts hold a Special Event Permit for alcohol and there is no corkage; the 10 p.m. music stop is firm.

Orchard farm where every package includes a 40 x 60 tent, tables, benches, portable toilets and a generator. Three tiers: the $5,000 dinner package ends at 8 p.m., and only the $8,000 weekend package gets you dancing until 11.

A large, plain hall – the cheapest big room in the region – so you bring décor, caterer and bar. Full payment is due two weeks before, and the renter must stay for the whole function.

Ceremony-only garden: no receptions and no alcohol on site, so plan the party elsewhere. Confirm availability, as 2026 and 2027 may be fully booked.

The wedding costs are laid out plainly: $1,000 for Saturday, with kitchen, sound system, tables, chairs and dishes at no extra charge. Any caterer is allowed, or cook it yourselves; cleaning must be done by midnight.

Whole-lodge, two-night buyouts on a river property, so the price is mostly accommodation plus a tent. You hire your own caterer, bartenders and décor; no DJs or loud bands.

Upper hall in James Bay with its own wedding price list, including a Friday-evening decorating option. The kitchen is for food prep only, and the bar needs your own liquor licence.

Vineyard ceremonies, a covered Terrace for toasts and cocktails, and a smaller indoor lounge for receptions. Confirm pricing and capacity with the winery directly.

Hilltop park for ceremonies up to 50; the District does not allow weddings here from January to June and parking is restricted.

Beachfront cottages and townhouses for guests, plus a small 26 x 40 ft Ellis banquet room, so it suits intimate receptions. Catering comes from a list of local caterers; confirm any curfew with the venue.

Restaurant with a single event space, including covered and uncovered outdoor areas. Prices shown are starting rates, so confirm with the venue.

Weddings take the entire hall and site for a flat 48-hour block. No bonfires, no overnight camping, and the neighbours are close, so the 11 p.m. music cut-off is enforced by bylaw.

A 10-acre gated garden estate with waterfalls, ponds and two gazebos, plus a medi spa on site with a get-ready room. In the base tier you handle your own set-up and clean-up.

All-inclusive 22-acre bluff-top property with a ceremony site, granite patio and stretch tent. Galiano is a ferry ride away, so plan for the last sailing.

Summer-camp setting on 18 lakeside acres with an outdoor chapel. Alcohol must be served through Westcoast Catering, and you need $1M liability insurance; cabins have no heat or power.

Municipal clubhouse with city views, a dance floor and AV. Very cheap room rental, but food and drink must come from the on-site concessionaire.

Rooftop Vista 18 room and penthouse suites for small receptions; strictly in-house catering. Small weddings only.

Harbourside hotel ballroom of about 1,500 sq ft plus a smaller Fairfield Room with a marina-view balcony. Confirm pricing with the hotel.

Lavender-and-vine farm with three ceremony spots (lawn, gazebo, tasting-room deck). Packages include wine, bartending, a charcuterie platter, ceremony setup with sound, and a patio reception area with a dedicated caterer space.

Municipal hall and gym that the Town markets for weddings. Very low cost, but it is a blank room, so expect to bring in catering, decor and rentals.

Cheapest large room in the valley, with the second-biggest dance floor around. The catches: no outside alcohol at all (the $500 deposit is forfeited) and no table service, so you or your caterer set the tables.

Rustic fairground with a commercial kitchen, barns and grass for ceremonies. You need your own event insurance and a liquor licence or Special Event Permit, and a 50% deposit is due at booking.

Golf-course banquet buildings with low hire fees. Food is in-house at $62–$72 per person, which becomes the main cost, and SOCAN and Resound music fees apply.

Whole-property rental for small weddings. Staff set up, serve and clean up caterer meals, and you buy your own liquor liability insurance (about $150 per 25 guests).

You rent the whole 6,500 sq ft oceanfront lodge and plan your own wedding; most rentals are weddings. No tents or RVs allowed, no outdoor amplified music, and cancellation within 120 days forfeits the deposit.

Converted horse barn plus a B&B cottage package. Catering, bar, setup, cleanup and event insurance are not included; two kitchens support outside caterers.

A 69-acre organic farm with a large pole barn, two moveable rustic bars and exclusive use of the property. Packages include a venue host, parking and bathroom attendants; ceremony spots include fields and a grove.

1,800 sq ft hall with free tables and chairs, a raised stage and a non-commercial kitchen, on a 7-acre site. No sound system, so bring your own for speeches and music.

Package tiers run from a 10-person elopement through 15, 30 and 100-guest weddings. Pricing and curfew are only available on request.

Lakeside cabins and chalets, so guests can stay on site. Events run under a tent or on the beach.

Cheap licensed party room in a Port McNeill motor inn, set up for groups of 6 to 150 including wedding parties. Confirm the rental price with the inn.

Biggest purpose-built banquet room on the island, with an outdoor ceremony lawn over Ganges Harbour. Ask about the room's end time before booking – it may close earlier than you'd like.

Small weddings of up to 40 are indoors in the Veranda; anything up to 100 needs the whole property bought out and a tent. Packages exist for elopements (up to 20) and small weddings (up to 40); price and curfew are only given on request.

Low-cost DIY hall with a stage and kitchen. Dates are allocated at a pre-booking meeting in mid-September for the following year, and July and August are almost fully booked by locals.

A heritage boat anchored in the inlet and reached by a five-minute water taxi, so it's tiny and quirky. Ceremonies go on the 700 sq ft sundeck.

Small neighbourhood garden available through Oak Bay for weddings of 75 to 100; limited on-street parking.

All-in package rather than a venue rental, and only about five weddings a year. The headline $26,500 excludes the $6,000 floral minimum.

Cheap waterfront-area gallery space that is rented for receptions but not marketed as a wedding venue. Expect extra costs for tables, chairs, sound, clean-up and music licensing.

Hall with private entrance, bar, patio and views over the 18th hole and Strait of Georgia. The package fee excludes all food and drink, so the real total is driven by the $65–$76 buffet price per guest plus 15% service charge.

Weddings and receptions held among the permanent exhibits in the gallery inside the conference centre building; staff member on site, you supply clean-up crew. Live music allowed but you bring the equipment.

Small vineyard estate with an all-white reception building for up to 80, a lawn ceremony site over the lake and a full custom bar. It's one weekend-long package, so you're buying exclusive use from Friday afternoon.

A 1911 church plus the Marion Craig courtyard; the museum stays open to the public during your rental. No food or bar service, so bring a caterer and a Special Event Permit for alcohol.

Victorian mansion next to the harbour with an outdoor amphitheatre-style ceremony space and a ballroom. Confirm pricing directly with the inn.

Package pricing is all-in, with a planner, set-up and a two-night room, so compare it against venue-plus-vendors elsewhere. Pender is a ferry trip from Tsawwassen or Swartz Bay, so check sailing times for guests.

Town-owned hall, 7,800 sq ft, splittable. You arrange your own caterer and bar; rates are set by bylaw, so there is no negotiation.

Seaside park on Beach Drive permitted for weddings up to 100 guests; amplified sound needs pre-approval and alcohol is banned.

Riverside cabin resort that lists weddings; the wedding lodge is comfortable for about 10 people, so this suits a small gathering.

Private club that also takes non-member banquets. The price is room hire plus catering; outdoor ceremonies on the course carry a separate $1,500 fee, which catches people out.

Working heritage farm inside a provincial park that books a professional planner (Folklore or your own) for every wedding. Lodging is limited to the 8 who sleep in the heritage houses.

Budget hotel ballroom with a pillar-free room used for social events, including weddings.

Weekend buyout: one invoice covers every cottage, three meals (meet and greet, reception dinner, brunch) and at least 80 guests per meal. Outside beer, cider and spirits are not allowed; wine and champagne only, with corkage.

Everything is sold as a food-and-beverage minimum by room, so the real cost is the minimum plus a $1,500 wedding fee, 20% gratuity and tax. The Patio is covered; the guide also offers a whole-property buyout at $100,000 on weekends.

Waterfront 12-acre B&B and hobby farm on Baynes Sound, flexible on food and drink (your caterer, potluck or BBQ). Indoor space tops out at 50, so larger weddings are outdoors.

Affordable hall with 20 banquet tables, 30 round tables, chairs and a food-safe kitchen included; across the road from Big Beach. Dishes and glassware are not rented, and a Big Beach ceremony needs a $50 +GST permit.

German-Canadian club with a 300-person banquet room, stage and PA. You buy the liquor and licence, but club bartenders must work the bar (two at $50/hr combined), which adds to the bill.

Tofino's largest purpose-built wedding venue: 4,500 sq ft of wood and glass on the harbour with a covered deck. Parking is only four spots, so guest shuttles are part of planning; fee is by quote.
