Wedding Hall

This barn is gorgeous, there's no doubt about that and there's no wonder why you can fall in love with it when looking for a wedding venue. BUT don't be fooled, the pictures online ONLY advertise it when it's decorated and wedding perfect. This barn is nothing more than an empty shell with a useless, greedy, lazy management that has no interest or care in customer satisfaction. They have a handful of picnic tables, a handful of barstools, broken pews, and some rickety tables. No decor upstairs in the barn whatsoever. When asked if the venue was able to move something for us, Patty (I think is her name in the office) responded "oh no, this is a DIY venue" and offered no guidance what so ever. Patty also ASSURED us that the dirt patch directly behind the barn would be grass by our big day (something we hoped for because that's where we wanted our ceremony to be) and by the day of it was nothing more than dirt and weeds. Half the grass in the front of the barn was dead. She never even showed up the day of to check on things at the venue. Whenever we asked questions about what we could do (which isn't much because the stipulations that go along with this place are absurd), getting a straight answer out of management was impossible. If you're the type of couple who values supporting strong businesses with fair customer service values, THIS PLACE IS NOT FOR YOU. I felt like "The Big Day" was more of a big inconvenience for the people who run this venue than anything. They only care about weddings and couples who can afford to pay for professionals to set up and run the day. Anything else is beneath this company, at least that's how they came across to me. Due to my experiences , I don't believe that this venue is worth the time of day, no matter how pretty it is.

For your live aquatic needs and pond supplies a great reasonably priced place to shop. They also have a winery with tastings and a great venue for weddings and special events. Check them out and enjoy the country drive to scenic Narrow!

Fantastic wedding venue!!!!

Bliss Bridal was amazing - I had taken a special trip over from Vancouver to see a particular dress and had my maid of honour and her 16 month daughter in tow. All staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, relaxed and patient and really listened to what I was looking for - I visited more than a handful of bridal shops during my search and hands down they were the best!

If your sad, happy, bored or anything come to this place!! Jehovah’s Witnesses really know the bible, and their always ready to help and listen to you. Their also very welcoming. By far the best thing i ever did !! ❤️❤️❤️

Awesome people

Saved me

Easy to get along with, and delivers excellent service and training.

Beautiful venue!

Have to be improved And heard they are going to build a new museum

The heart of Hornby Island cultural events.

I am so lucky that I was referred to Melissa by the team at Rockwater Resort. I reached out to Melissa as soon as I had confirmed my wedding date, roughly a year before I was married. From the very start she was friendly, prompt with her responses and wanted to understand my vision right away. Even though were were a year out, Melissa wasted no time in getting started on my design plan. We had several meetings via the phone (since I live in Vancouver) and plenty of emails. We finally met in person a few months before the wedding when I got a chance to see one of my centre pieces in person. It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Melissa understood my vision and made sure that I got everything that I wanted. I even made some changes with only weeks to go, and she made them happen. I couldn't have done this process without Melissa. From the day I contacted her to the very end of my wedding, she was truly a pleasure to deal with. My wedding day went exactly as planned, she was the one who ran the show and it was perfect. She made my wedding design dreams come true and it was exactly as I had pictured it. She is amazing to deal with and I am so lucky that I got to work with such an amazing planner. Thank you so much Melissa, I couldn't have done it without you!

Such a great experience and beautiful photos! We felt so at ease during the shoot and are so happy with the pics :)

Amazing place to learn about the Bible the discourses are very easy to understand and everyone has time to look up the many scriptures used, and everyone is so friendly!

Thanks to Avalon for making our sons wedding a success. Tons of options and great staff.

What can I say about Kayla from Day by Knight. Wow. First of all, she is so fun and funny to work with. Second, she is incredibly knowledgeable about every part of the wedding and the planning process. She shows up and works her butt of so couples can really be in the moment. I highly highly recommend her for couples who are looking for full or partial planning services!
