Nestled in Victoria, British Columbia, Bilston Creek Farm is a dreamy countryside wedding venue where you can say "I do" amongst lavender fields. They held their first marriage celebration in 1855 on July 19, after Bilston, England's Blinkhorn family settled on the land. Over a century and a half later, in 2018, this setting became a farm venue, with the owners building a timber-frame barn between the scenic apple orchard and rows of aromatic lavender.

Indulge in an immersive retreat-style experience where you and your loved ones can enjoy the natural beauty of your surroundings while celebrating love. West Coast luxury, picturesque backdrops, and British Columbia's heritage are all present for this milestone.

The Heritage Orchard: Home to some of the oldest pear and apple trees in British Columbia, the orchard is a favourite site for outdoor ceremonies and dinners under the string lights.

The Lavender Field: With glimpses of the sea beyond, the lavender field offers spectacular views and a stunning site for photographs.

The Barn: Custom built from local cedar and fir and hung with drying lavender in summer, our timber frame barn offers a sheltered space for dinner and ceremonies in all weather.

The Commons: Our functional farm services building includes accessible bathrooms and an outdoor storage area for barware and other service items.

The Patio: Wrapping around the barn and overlooking the lavender fields and apple orchard, the patio can be home to your cocktail hour or an al fresco meal.

The Orchard Pub: A popular gathering place for coffee and cocktails.

The Forest Bar: Dance the night away in the late-night lounge of your dreams with a bit of West Coast, speak-easy vibe.

The Wedding package gives you exclusive access to the property for the day – 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 park that surrounds it. Whether 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.
