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 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!

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!

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

Good food, big venue, great service

Great venue, very accommodating, food was great. The venue is very grand but will require a lot of decoration to bring the best out of the venue.

A dream come true

We would like to thank Danielle M and the staff at Swaneset for having our dream wedding day. My guests were so impressed by the staff and food that I am still getting compliments to this day. Danielle made everything so easy for us and we loved all her suggestions. She is very calm and collected which made our wedding day run so smoothly. I honestly can't thank her enough. She was instrumental in having our dream wedding day and she deserves all the stars in the world. The venue is beautiful and we are so happy that we picked this venue to get married. I would recommend it to anyone. You are amazing at what you do and we can't thank you enough.

Love Neelam and Mitchell

Beautiful Venue & Great Staff

Swaneset was our very first (and only) wedding venue we took a look at. We knew we had to book them right after as it was the perfect space for our wedding vision! We were first in contact with Holly R when we were inquiring about the venue and she was so helpful and responsive. A couple months before the wedding, we were introduced to Swaneset's venue and event coordinator/manager for our wedding which was Michelle V. We had a phone meeting and lots of email exchanges. We only met Michelle on our wedding day. She was professional and flexible to any changes we had last minute. She was also super responsive to any questions we had even up to the week of the wedding. The rest of the Swaneset staff were so kind and attentive to us and our guests. Our guests enjoyed the amazing food, drinks, and overall service of the Swaneset team. The venue is so beautiful and romantic. We are so happy we chose Swaneset!

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.
