Coastal wedding experience at its best

We had chosen Galiano Inn & Spa to host our Wedding Weekend in August 2020. With COVID, many of the original plans disrupted and changed; we had to be always on the toe on updates & changes BUT we had an amazing Event Manager - Danica in helping us pivoting the events and assuring the safety of all guests and staffs for the weekend.

We ended up with a small intimate wedding with 18 guests from Vancouver - all family & friends. We reserved the Villas Property of the Inn - in order to create our own little bubble for the weekend - and what an amazing weekend it was. The service was excellent from the moment we checked in, pre wedding YOGA, the ceremony, cocktail hours, and the reception dinner - everything was seamless and on point. We had such a great time and as one of the grooms; thanks for making the day one of the memorable days for both of us - stress free and filled with joy and happiness.

If you are looking for a venue for a west coast / coastal wedding venue - Galiano Inn & Spa is definitely a place for you. In a clear perfect sunny (summer) day (or evening) [like what we just had during our wedding weekend] you'll be spoiled by the beauty of seafront (and some marine animals) the lushes greeneries and the majestic Mount Baker from afar floating above the horizon (sometimes above the clouds) - this place (and Galiano Island) is a magical place :)
