Fall in love all over again at Hastings House Country House Hotel. Cuddle up beside a crackling fire; stroll hand in hand through lush gardens; whisper sweet nothings over a candlelit dinner.

Situated on 22 acres of natural emerald forest and sheep pastures, vibrant lawns and manicured gardens sloping down to the water’s edge on Ganges Harbour, Hastings House Country Resort offers a relaxing and romantic getaway for weddings and honeymoons. The Resort, one of the premiere island destinations in British Columbia, was named the Best Canadian Resort by Zagat and has been an Andrew Harper Award Winner eight times, and features among Condé Nast Traveler’s Top 3 in Canadian Hotels on the 2004 “Readers’ Choice Awards” as well as the magazine’s “Gold List.”

One of the world’s most beautiful islands, Salt Spring Island, with its picture-perfect harbour, provides breathtaking views from the Hastings House dining rooms, guest suites and grounds--a gorgeous backdrop for any wedding. With its sumptuous gardens, casually elegant accommodations, and refined service, Hastings House Country House Hotel is one of the most idyllic wedding locations in BC.

The Hotel's 18 individually designed suites, each with a fireplace and separate sitting area, are housed in charming cottages and restored farm buildings, many with private water-view porches. The intimate spa offers a range of body treatments, while Chef Marcel Kauer’s cuisine has won accolades in the Zagat Report and Sante Magazine.

A variety of activities on the island, from hiking, biking, golf, and tennis, to fishing, sailing, and kayaking will delight you and your guests. Tours of artists’ studios and galleries, or culinary tours of wineries, cheeseries, farms, and a brewery will please the most discriminating traveler.

Float plane service is available to Salt Spring Island from Vancouver, BC and Seattle, WA. British Columbia Ferry Corporation, with terminals at Tsawwassen (near Vancouver) and Swartz Bay (near Victoria), also provides car ferry service to the island. Closest airports are located at Victoria, Vancouver and Seattle and are served by several international carriers and connector airlines.

Hastings House Country House Hotel has a maximum capacity of 60 people for weddings and requires the entire property including accommodations to be reserved for a wedding of this size.
