Our Bowen wedding at the Sweet Salal

We got married this August at the Sweet Salal and could not have asked for more -- it was truly magical! Everything was beyond our expectations and much of that was due to Monica, Erika, and team going above and beyond in every which way. The food, the flowers, the grounds... everything was done with intention, execution, and a high attention to detail. It's also worth mentioning that we were their first wedding on the property. The team's flexibility, responsiveness, and ability to put ideas into action made the planning and execution a great experience.
Our "wedding weekend" consisted of guests arriving to Bowen on the Friday, hosting a BBQ at the Sweet Salal that evening, throwing our wedding on the Saturday, and guests leaving on the Sunday. Many of our guests were from out of province so hopping onto a ferry and stepping foot on Bowen added to the "destination wedding vibe" and truly, what's not to love about Bowen? The slower pace island-vibe of Bowen definitely brought the desired energy to our wedding.
The property itself is insanely beautiful -- like jaw droppingly beautiful! You're surrounded by lush forest, and the moonlight garden adds extra beauty. There were eight of us that stayed on site throughout the weekend (everyone else got AirBnbs). The house is very spacious, cozy, and has everything you'll need. The moment you step onto the grounds, you quickly realize how special this property is.
Also, did I mention the food? Monica and Chef Robert Clark cooked up the most INCREDIBLE menu -- chinook salmon, flank steak, salads galore, mouthwatering burgers (for the BBQ), and delicious breakfasts, all with fresh locally sourced ingredients. Watch out if you get Monica talking about food -- that woman COOKS!!
Overall, we HIGHLY recommend the Sweet Salal Guesthouse for anyone wanting a truly unique Bowen wedding experience!
THANKS AGAIN MONICA, ERIKA AND TEAM!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
