Looking for a specific wedding venue in BC

Cara, on March 30, 2021 at 13:49 Posted in British Columbia 0 5

Hi everyone! My fiance and I are trying to plan our wedding for the summer of 2023. We live in BC and are from Vancouver Island but are living in Kamloops. We are open to venues in the Okanagan region but not in Kamloops, as well as (and preferably) on Vancouver Island. We also do not want anything more than a 5 hour drive from YVR (not including destinations on the island, this is more for the interior/mainland). The problem we are having is that we want outside catering (not catering from the venue) and we also would like to supply our own alcohol/bartenders. The other issue we are facing is that we do not want a farm/barn style wedding and it seems that those are the only venues that give you a bit of leniency in the world of outside alcohol and catering. Our venue that we fell in love with and checked all the boxes was "The View" in Victoria BC, however it was just sold and will not be hosting events anymore. If you have any ideas at all that may fit this criteria I would be so so grateful!!


Thank you in advance!!!

    Check out Barking Frog Lodge in Pemberton. They have a view of the mountains and its by a river. It's not a barn its just a property. Last I checked with them they said they weren't going to start booking events for 2022 till this summer, but worth checking out! Tin Poppy Retreat is also an option but it's a bit further out and not a mansion.

    There's also Eagle Valley Retreat in Squamish, but they're only doing smaller weddings (up to 30).

    We are wanting kind of a mix between the two, like mansion with a nice view on some property type of vibe but I do understand that with all of our requests we will have to compromise on something a bit different

    How many people are you guys thinking of inviting? Are you more wanting a city vibe than a small town/rustic vibe? (all the ones that instantly popped into my head were barn venues 🤦🏽‍♀️)

    Venues to allow catering and liquor are not allowing this as much as they want to provide with their services and licenses. Its hard to find the specific requests at venues if they will allow you apart from formal halls. I hope you find your space you like and requests fulfilled.
