Victoria BC Wedding Venues

Venues by Region – Victoria :: Vancouver Island :: Gulf Islands

Victoria, BC Wedding Venues: An illustrated guide to wedding venues in Greater Victoria, British Columbia.

I’ve been photographing weddings in Greater Victoria since 2009, so I know how many beautiful and interesting venues this region has to offer. I can imagine how difficult it must be to choose a venue, since it can set the tone for the whole wedding. So I put together this list to make things easier on couples trying to make that important choice.

This is an in-progress list of wedding venues in Greater Victoria. I’ve included photos and links to weddings I’ve shot at the venues I’ve worked at, plus some info and links to all of the venues. Feel free to get in touch with any questions about venues or wedding photography.

If you’re looking for a venue in a particular area of Victoria, or the rest of the island, you can check out my Google Map showing the location of each venue. Feb 2019 note: I’m currently updating this map. See the notes at the top for info on what’s current.

Scroll down to get a quick overview of all venues in Greater Victoria. Use the category links below to jump to a page with more in-depth information on a certain type of venue.

Wineries, Cideries, and Farms


These venues are great for that rustic vibe, which can make an elegant event feel more organic and a fun event feel even more inviting. They’re perfect for having both ceremony and reception, along with a great portrait session, without even leaving the venue. Click here to see more in-depth info on these rustic venues in Victoria.
