Why Choose Brentwood Bay Resort & Spa as your Wedding Venue?

If you’ve ever dreamed of exchanging vows overlooking the water, surrounded by lush greenery and the serene charm of Vancouver Island and the Pacific Northwest, Brentwood Bay Resort & Spa is your dream come true. From the panoramic views of the inlet to the resort’s commitment to impeccable service, every detail is designed to make your wedding day as seamless and beautiful as possible. I love that it’s not just one day too – you can make it a whole weekend wedding getaway! Grab room service, sit on the pool deck and just relax in the days leading up to or after your wedding day.

What’s Included in a Brentwood Bay Resort Wedding Package?

Brentwood Bay Resort & Spa offers thoughtfully designed wedding packages to ensure your day is stress-free and tailored to your vision. This is why it is one of my favourite venues on Vancouver Island and specifically in Victoria BC!

While package details may vary, couples can generally expect:

• Exclusive use of the ceremony and The Arbutus Room reception spaces.
• They take care of setting up all tables, chairs, and linens. They clean the spaces and store your items the night prior to the morning after your wedding. Further setup of decor can also be done by them for a small decor fee. 
• Customizable catering – their food is SO GOOD!
• They include white tablecloths and linen napkins, white plates, silver cutlery, stemmed wine glasses, and stemless wine glasses. Chairs are included, but chair type is dependent on the venue space. Their smaller spaces include black banquet chairs and their dining room includes beautiful wooden chairs. 
• An in-house wedding coordinator assists with all day-of logistics and communication. They do everything from delivering your get-ready snacks to working with your vendors and pressing play on your music.
• The newlywed’s room is included in the packages for the night of the wedding. All guest accommodations are not included in the package. 
• Packages start at $1,750 for their elopement package

Tip: Be sure to confirm package specifics with the venue and ask about any additional options that may be available.

The Perfect West Coast Backdrop for Any Theme

Brentwood Bay Resort & Spa’s aesthetic is versatile, making it ideal for a range of decor themes. The oceanfront terrace and natural surroundings of The Arbutus Room lend themselves beautifully to elegant minimalist styles, soft romantic palettes, or lush greenery-focused designs. Think neutral tones paired with organic textures, candles, and floral arrangements that enhance the natural beauty of the space.

Things to Be Mindful Of When Booking this Wedding Venue

While the resort offers stunning views and intimate settings, it’s important to note that the ceremony space is on the smaller side. This is perfect for couples planning a more intimate celebration but may require some creative seating arrangements for larger guest lists. I recommend discussing capacity and layout options with their in-house wedding coordinator to ensure everyone feels comfortable.

Approximate Costs

Wedding costs at Brentwood Bay Resort & Spa vary based on time of year and package selections. Couples can expect prices to start at $1,750 for their elopement package, and go up from there. I definitely recommend reaching out to them directly for their current price list. Customizations or additional add-ons like premium decor or extra hours may increase costs, so it’s helpful to plan your budget accordingly.

A Photographer’s Paradise

As a photographer, I love how Brentwood Bay Resort & Spa provides endless opportunities to capture stunning images. Between the sparkling water views, the stunning natural light indoors, and the golden hour light filtering through the trees, it’s impossible not to create something magical here. And the best part? It’s all just steps away from each other, so you can spend less time traveling and more time celebrating.

Pro Tip: Build time into your schedule for photos at sunset down on the boardwalk!

The Brentwood Bay Resort & Spa Wedding Experience

One of the reasons Brentwood Bay Resort & Spa stands out is the way it balances luxury with comfort. It’s not just a venue; it’s an experience. Their wedding planning team prides themselves on delivering the best experience possible, and this really shows at the weddings I’ve photographed there. Your wedding day is about more than just the “I dos”—it’s about creating memories with the people you love most. Brentwood Bay Resort ensures every moment is special, from your first look to your last dance.
