  1. KEATING FARM, COWICHAN VALLEY

    Right away this venue caught our eye. Beautiful yard for an outdoor ceremony, so many great options for portraits indoors and out! Romantic feels all around for your intimate wedding!

    Located between Victoria & Nanaimo, this unique heritage farm will WOW your guests! Enjoy the quiet and calm as you and your guests get to enjoy the farm all to yourselves. The property boasts a beautifully restored late 1800’s farm house. “You and your guests will be transported to another time and place as you dance your night away in the great hall.”

For us, romance is about small, everyday displays of love. Farm life is full of big dreams, romantic notions, and opportunities for random acts of kindness. We are a farm run by romantics for romantics. Come celebrate your love at a farm that was made for a love story…

We have learned from the local elders and storytellers that many weddings and events have occurred at the farm during its long history. We hope to continue this tradition and be a gathering place for celebrations in our community.
