Unique Wedding Venues in Victoria, BC

This is an illustrated list of unique wedding venues in Victoria, BC, from art galleries to forests and castles to mansions and more. I’ve included links to the venues and their wedding information pages, along with links to blog posts from weddings I’ve photographed there.

I love a wedding at a different sort of venue, which tends to come along with some amazing, unique photo opportunities. These venues usually provides an interesting spot for portraits, along with the ceremony and/or reception.

Backyard and In-Home Weddings

This isn’t a venue, but consider it if a friend/family member has a large yard. Backyards are the perfect place to put your own personal spin on the traditional wedding. A great wedding planner is a huge help for these types of weddings, including keeping the day running smoothly and sourcing and setting up rentals.
