Direct with the farm
This venue takes its own bookings. It is on this list because we have worked here and would send our own couples, but your enquiry goes straight to them, and everything after that happens their way rather than ours.

The venue

Where history meets the sea.

Perched on the southeastern shoreline of Salt Spring Island, Ruckle Heritage Farm is one of the most storied places to marry in the Gulf Islands. Established in 1872, it remains the oldest working family farm in the region.

Open pasture runs down to the water, forest trails cut behind the fields, and the heritage houses are still standing and still used. The farm takes celebrations from two people up to a hundred including vendors, and it will host a multi-day stay if you want the weekend rather than the afternoon.

Spring
Lambing season, green fields, wet ground
