Ceremony Sites

Welcome To Sooke Harbour House

We offer variety of indoor and outdoor wedding venues, please take a moment to get acquainted with what our spectacular location has to offer

Upper Gardens – Under the Alder Tree Nestled into lush gardens of edible flowers and herbs, this ceremony site faces spectacular 180 degree Pacific Ocean views which are unparalleled. The gentle shade of a mature alder tree offers countless fantastic photographic opportunities, and the scent of fresh herbs and flowers marks the perfect beginning for your marriage. Located close to the main dining room and ‘old house’ of Sooke Harbour House, hors d’oeuvres and celebratory drinks are immediately on hand. Live musicians perform ‘your song’ from a tucked away nook, and a strewn petal aisle is perfectly in keeping with this awe inspiring natural vista.

Lower Gardens – Vows by the Sea Our lower gardens provide the perfect location for larger weddings with an awe inspiring mosaic aisle, stunning ocean views, and the scent of fresh herbs and sweet flowers. Seating for your guests is comfortable with garden benches or covered chairs, and awnings, tents, and hoopas can be provided to create the perfect focal point in this natural scene.
Perched directly above this site, a family of bald eagles (the sight of which is good luck) peer down to offer their congratulations and blessings for your day.

One is provided as a Bridal suite to get ready and proceed from, one for the groom and groomsmen and the other for a private restroom and quiet area for the convenience of your guests.
