Gorgeous venue

Melissa, our event coordinator worked well with us to ensure all details of our wedding were taken care of. On the day of our wedding, everything well smoothly as Melissa and the staff worked with our personal coordinators to ensure a seamless ceremony and reception. We loved the venue from the day we saw it, from the floor to ceiling windows, chandeliers and beautiful entrance with the trees, it was amazing all around.

Our Fairytale Engagement Party

We had our most beautiful engagement party at Swaneset. We loved everything about the venue - the breathtaking views, the gorgeous bridal room, the exceptional food and service, everything was just perfect. We received so many compliments from our guests after the event and they all mentioned that they have never seen a venue this pretty, I would highly highly recommend Swaneset to anybody who is looking for a venue for their event. My fiance and I also stepped out on the golf course for a pre-engagement shoot and the photographs have turned out soo dreamy. I would like to thank the entire staff and crew of swaneset and special thanks to Michelle, who was our event manager and made sure that everything was exactly how we wanted and managed the event beautifully.

Great Venue for Dream Wedding

The space outside for the ceremony was absolutely perfect, with the mountains in the background. Reception on the 3rd floor was spacious, with a spectacular view of the golf course/ mountains through the large floor to ceiling windows. Very minimal decor was needed, as the room was elegant as is. The buffet dinner was great, the only complaint we had, so that there weren't servers going around and filling glasses with wine. Many of our guests were waiting between 15-20 min before their glasses were topped up. Sam our day of coordinator was great. Throughout the process of communicating over email to the day of wedding, she had been so helpful. Anything that we needed, she was able to provide for us, including a last minute change of needing a table for our projector to play our slideshow. She was just on top of everything, and we are so thankful that we were able to work with her. All in All an unforgettable day for us, thanks to Swaneset !

Our Happily Ever After!

My husband and I had our wedding at Swaneset Bay Resort and Country Club on August 15, 2024 and the minute we stepped foot into the clubhouse, we fell in love with this beautiful golf course! Narisa was our event coordinator and without her, we truly could not have planned the wedding that we did! She was so incredibly organized, responsive and she made everything run smoothly on the big day! We can't say enough great things about Narisa and this amazing wedding venue! Thank you to Narisa and Swaneset for making our wedding day, the best day ever!! :)

Incredible experience, reliable team

We just hosted our wedding there over the May long weekend, and I really can't say enough great things about them. Our whole experience with them through this last year has been unparalleled and I've been part of several weddings at different venues these past years and Swaneset just really delivers everything you need.

We had the pleasure of working with Holly and Michelle was our point person for the day off. Really professional team and the staff hosting on the day of we're absolutely lovely as well.

The venue really speaks for itself but it is really important to note that they do spend quite a bit of time on the upkeep of the space. We held our ceremony on the grear lawn and the green was kept spectacularly. I also had so many guests that day and also the week following compliment on the quality of the food and abundance as well.

If you're thinking of Swaneset as your venue, don't hesitate! They really know how to bring it!

A Stunning Venue With The BEST Wedding Coordinator

We hosted our wedding and reception at Swaneset this past summer. As part of the package, you are provided a day of coordinator. We worked with Melissa who was absolutely fabulous. She listened to our ideas, provided vendor recommendations when asked, had several planning meetings with us, and was there to execute our vision just as we'd discussed. She handled all the day-of hiccups which really helped us out from a stress level. Holly was also awesome during the pre-sales process. Our guests (and we!) felt it was a fairytale venue. We hosted 200 guests, but the space holds up to 350. Would definitely recommend Swaneset!

Michelle V was our direct coordinator. She was professional and such a delight to work with. She supported with all our planning needs & more!

Married: September, 22, 2023
Such a perfect day! Mother Nature was in our favour and we couldn’t be happier on how the day turned out. Lots of space on the grounds to capture photos with friends and family. Staff was attentive and our guests couldn’t rave about the food enough.

A DREAM wedding

I got married here in august and it was such an amazing experience!! The venue is HUGE and very beautiful. The outside stairs and patio make it look like a castle. So many beautiful spots for photos here. Our event manager was Melissa and she was absolutely wonderful! She answered all my questions promptly leading up to the wedding and was extremely helpful all around. On the wedding day she was so great with the schedule and making sure everything was up to my standards! Couldn’t recommend this venue enough. Every guest was wowed. 10/10

Top notch 👌

Swaneset was the perfect venue for our fairy tale wedding come true! Our coordinator, Michelle, was very attentive and looked after all of our needs, making the planning process and the wedding day go smoothly and stress free. The food was incredible, we had multiple guests that are vegan and also gluten sensitive, there was a ton of options for them in the buffet menu we choose (refined rustic) we couldn't have been happier with the food!

I highly recommend Swaneset for your dream wedding!

Catering Sales Manager

Hi! I'm Holly. I am the first person you will speak to about your wedding at Swaneset. I will show you around our beautiful clubhouse, answer all of your questions, and help you decide on a date. Once your date is booked, I will always be available to answer your questions and guide and assist you into a smooth and seamless wedding day. I will help with your wedding plans to ensure we capture your personal taste, culture and style. A few months prior to your wedding, I will introduce you to your Swaneset Wedding and Events Coordinator, who will be your hands on, Swaneset liaison. When I'm not at work, I love to stay active and spend time with my two adorable daughters Macey and Londyn...they keep me on my toes!

Catering and Event Manager

Hi! My name is Danielle. I started with Swaneset at the beginning of 2016 as a Wedding and Events Coordinator. I studied Event Management and graduated with my Diploma in 2014. I have always had a passion for weddings and Swaneset is an outstanding place for me to put my skills to work. My detail oriented and calm personality is a great suit for the job. A month or so before your event we will get together to organize everything to create a perfect day. On the big day I will be there to help execute every idea and detail from the ceremony until after dinner. When I find spare time I enjoy relaxing and spending time with my friends and family!

Michelle Vincent
Event Manager

Hello! My name is Michelle, I’ve always had a passion for creating unique and beautiful experiences. This passion led me to graduating from BCIT in 2013 with an Associate Certificate in Marketing Management with a focus on Event Marketing and Event Planning. Implementing my education through four years of practical experience as an event bar manager and later a position as a special events assistant coordinator at a popular berry farm and estate winery. Armed with a competitive education, a wide variety of experiences, and a naturally detail-oriented mindset, I joined the event coordination team at Swan-E-Set Bay Resort and Country Club in January of 2018. As a professional wedding specialist, I believe the key to creating a one-of-a-kind lifetime event is through the support I give to clients from the beginning to the end of an event. Keeping in mind their vision of their special day, but providing them with the tools and inspiration to do so. From the initial meeting, menu planning, to the rehearsal and the day of your special occasion, I hope to create your dream come true.

For most of my adolescent life I trained as a competitive dancer, I now try to keep up some training when I’m not taking care of my two Cavalier King Charles dogs, Tennessee & Whiskey.
