Sooke Harbour House Hotel & Resort takes the cake when it comes to Victoria weddings. Perched on a bluff overlooking the ocean and the Olympic Mountains, this 28-room boutique hotel has won many awards for its accommodations and dining. In 2015, it was awarded the honour of being chosen as one of the top 30 loveliest wedding venues in Canada by WeddingBells.
We have been hosting weddings for over 33 years and are deservedly rated as one of Canada’s most spectacular wedding venues.
Our Women of the Woods welcoming totem will greet you as you first enter our Potlatch Room. The First Nations of our area held traditional celebrations called Potlatchs to mark significant events in family’s lives. Join the Philips Family, innkeepers of Sooke Harbour House, in a wedding venue as west coast and as magical as it gets. The Potlatch Room features a beach stone fireplace, cedar walls, douglas fir details, and hardwood floors perfect for dancing upon. The presence of First Nations art in the carvings, glass window etchings, button blankets, and paintings is majestic and takes you back in time. Crisp white linens, complimented by red and black, appeal to the eye. The Potlatch Room is ideal for dinners and receptions with dancing. Plated dinner service is available for up to 60 people. Bar service and stand up hors d’oeuvres receptions are available for up to 80 guests.
This venue has the most commanding panorama and is the epitome of West Coast Dining… in style. There is no better place to dine for scenery and elegance than the Sooke Harbour House dining room.
All Victoria weddings yearn to be held by the gorgeous ocean! Under the Majestic Alder Tree nestled into lush gardens of edible flowers and herbs, this ceremony site enjoys a spectacular 180 degree Pacific Ocean view. The gentle shade of a mature alder tree offers countless fantastic photographic opportunities, and the scent of fresh herbs and flowers marks the perfect beginning for your marriage.
Located close to the main dining room, hors d’oeuvres and celebratory drinks are immediately on hand. Live musicians perform ‘your song’ from a hidden nook, and a strewn petal aisle looks stunning in this awe inspiring natural vista with the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic Mountain range as your backdrop.
