Weddings

We are currently offering just the one wedding package on our farm (as described above).   

We do! We'll work with you before your wedding, to figure out what layout you love, and we'll have the benches, tables, and chairs ready for when you arrive.  They can stay set up for the duration of your rental.

In addition to the base package, we offer the following items you can add on:

 - Wooden arch for ceremony (with or with out faux florals (white & green colour scheme) $100

 - Vintage milk cans for decor (8 available) $10 each

 - Wooden cart on wheels, with gold bar to hang decor (use as gift table, or other) $40

We do not provide any additional services beyond the venue space, and basic set up.  It is up to you to choose your officiant, caterer, bartender, photographer, planner/coordinator, decorator and DJ/band.

While the Cabin does have a small kitchen, and your caterer is welcome to serve out of it, it is not intended for food preparation.  Your caterer is welcome to use our small BBQ, and if they need to bring in additional equipment (BBQ, smoker, etc), we require that it is set up in our patio area.

There is an indoor area, and wooden bar, included in our wedding package for your bartending team to use.   We require a copy of your liquor license, and names of your bartending staff with their Serving it Right Certificates.

Live or recorded music are permitted, however, we require that it is contained to an acceptable

sound level so we do not disturb our neighbours and local surrounding area. Our manager will

work with your  chosen DJ or band member to establish acceptable sound levels.

There is a concrete floor in the shop/barn, so we are happy to show you past layouts of tables and chairs to ensure you've got space for dancing.

We have a quiet time of 1am for the night of your wedding.

Yes! Our ceremony space is in the corner of our 80 acre field looking towards the Beaufort Range, and the reception space is about 100m walking distance away, in the treed area by The Cabin.

You are welcome to take photos in the forested area by The Cabin, and in the 80 acre field beside it.  We recommend scheduling a time with your photographer to come out a couple weeks before your wedding, to see the lighting, and decide on some spots for photos on your big day.

The Cabin has two bedrooms - the master bedroom has a queen bed, and the second bedroom has a twin over queen bunk bed (so it can sleep up to 5).  

There is an ensuite bathroom off the master bedroom, as well as the main bathroom by the living room.

We ask that during the wedding, guests use the designated bathroom facilities, and only the guests staying in The Cabin use Cabin washrooms.

We are happy to offer a wedding package where you have plenty of time for set up, your wedding, and clean up.

You gain access to the venue at 4pm on the Thursday before your wedding, and check out is at 10am on the Monday morning, so you have four nights, and three full days for your event.  We envision the first full day for you to decorate and rehearse, day for your wedding, and a day for you to clean up.

We purchase event insurance for your wedding night, up to 100 people.  

Please note that your hired vendors and staff should have their own insurance coverage.  We require a copy of your liquor license for the event.

We are required to charge PST, GST, and MSDT on our wedding package (rentals and accommodation).  You will see the breakdown on your quote/invoice.

We require a $2,000 non-refundable deposit to hold your date.  We will go over the wedding contract with you, as well as the invoice, and are happy to offer different payment schedules for the remaining balance of your wedding package.

Yes, our cancellation/refund policy is as follows:

- $2,000 initial deposit to hold your date is non-refundable.

- All other deposits are fully refundable with at least 90 days in advance of your wedding date.

- Cancellations made after 90 days but before 30 days of your wedding date are subject to a cancellation fee of $1,500.

- Cancellations within 30 days of your wedding date are subject to a cancellation fee of $2,500.

- $500 damage deposit due on first payment instalment; refund issued after property inspection following your wedding

We do allow for your furry family member to be a part of your ceremony, with certain conditions being met (we do this for biosecurity and safety reasons for our dairy herd!).  If your dog is an important part of your day, please reach out for additional details.
