Farms, orchards and arts-community halls a short ferry from Swartz Bay. Guests make a weekend of it — and the last ferry sets the end of the night.
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.
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).
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.
Lakeside cabins and chalets, so guests can stay on site. Events run under a tent or on the beach.
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.
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.
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.
Private 10-acre wooded Renaissance-style villa estate with its own catering and lodging for about 30. Confirm fees and curfew with the venue.
Ocean-view farm hosting about five weddings a year, with one of the earliest curfews on the island. No tent, a composting toilet for small groups (bathroom trailer for large), room for 15 cars, and a planner is mandatory.
Large hall about a mile from the Fulford ferry terminal; Drummond Park next door suits ceremonies and can be booked with the hall. Rates and curfew aren't posted.
Small log hall run by the Salt Spring Lions Club, available for weddings of up to 75, with a stocked (non-commercial) kitchen and a covered area. Call the club for pricing.
80-acre farm with a concrete-floored 8,000 sq ft barn that opens on all sides, so a rainy day doesn't move the party. Pricing, curfew and rules are in a venue rental agreement, so ask for it early.
Oceanview B&B better suited to elopements and small groups than a full reception; call for larger parties.
Working farm, gallery and B&B that hosts weddings selectively; the family lives on the acreage, so every request is vetted. Ask about pricing, capacity and curfew.
