WEDDINGS
Your Wedding Weekend at Bilston Creek Estate & Farm
Our private retreat-style weddings are designed to provide an immersive experience, bringing together family and friends for an escape into nature and an exclusive weekend celebration. Centered around the natural beauty of the estate, you will be surrounded by a true West Coast experience. Delight in a piece of history on one of British Columbia’s earliest farms, where heritage apple orchards roll into fields of lavender, and the coastal forest bears witness to memories in the making.
Our unique wedding package gives you exclusive access to the property for the weekend – just you, your closest friends and family, and our dedicated team on hand so you can stay in the moment.
Wander the grounds and take your pick of several stunning backdrops for your ceremony, dine under the stars or under the shelter of our timber frame barn, and take some time to explore our working farm and the beautiful land that surrounds it.
If your idea of a perfect wedding involves slowing down to relax in nature, revelling in the excitement of your special day, and
creating memories to last a lifetime, it’s all possible here and we can't wait to welcome you.
