This past weekend I organized a surprise party for my dad and held it at Beach Grove…read more I've been working with Caitlin, the catering coordinator, for the past 4 months or so to ensure a successful party. Caitlin was awesome to work with. From the moment I sent my venue request email, she was very responsive, organized and easy to work with. We hashed out most of the details in the first two weeks of working together, and then about a month before the party, we connected again to finalize the details. On the day of the event, we were able to set up as early as 10 AM. Right when I got in, Caitlin was super helpful and offered her help to bring in the decorations. When we were setting up, numerous staff members came through and were very helpful and kind. The venue itself is beautiful. Other golf courses I've been to, their ballrooms were plain, boring, and simple. Beach Grove's golf course is modern, beautiful and leads out to a beautiful outdoor patio that overlooks the golf course. The food was delicious! There was mashed potatoes, pesto canneloni, 4 different kinds of salads, prime rib, and other dishes I can't remember, but it was all so good. Shoutout to Doug, Rachel, and Keith who made our night extra special by providing awesome customer service to my family and friends. If you're looking for an event venue, any time of the year, I'd highly recommend Beach Grove. If you're in Vancouver, it's worth the drive, and if you're in Tsawwassen, then you have no excuse. Beautiful space, wonderful staff, delicious food. You can't go wrong!

Mountain View Farm was the perfect venue for our August 2024 wedding!…read more We initially discovered Mountain View Farm through internet searches and were immediately drawn in by the beautiful photos. After visiting the venue in person, we knew it was exactly what we were looking for. Oana, who manages the venue, gave us a tour of the backyard and the house. Seeing it firsthand helped us visualize how we wanted to set things up. The outdoor space was ideal for the event itself. At the same time, the house provided a convenient and cozy option for us and our family to stay together, eliminating any worries about accommodation or travel time. The location is just far enough from Vancouver to feel like a peaceful escape, but close enough that it's easily accessible--only about a 45-minute drive. It ticked all the boxes for us. Venue Details: House rules: No shoes inside, and quiet hours start at 11 PM. Guests are responsible for cleaning up, trash/recycling and collecting towels in the laundry room. Pricing: The indoor house is $1,000 per night (5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms). Outdoor space prices vary by guest count: $135 per hour for up to 25 people, $165 per hour for up to 50 people. Rentals: They offer table and chair rentals (rectangular tables for 6 people, round tables also available) that can be added to your contract. Decor: Oana has decor available for rent, or you can bring your own. We loved the flexibility of choosing our own vendors, although they also provide recommendations. Before the wedding, we visited the farm one more time to finalize the layout and decor details. Oana was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, and we were thrilled to have her as our day-of coordinator. Her knowledge of the venue and her experience made everything run smoothly. We stayed at the farm for two nights--one night before the wedding and the night of--which was a huge help. It gave us time to settle in, unpack, and handle some of the setup the day before. The house is spacious and lovely, there's room to take it easy and even a jacuzzi, One minor issue some of our guests mentioned was the house's septic system, which requires no tissues to be flushed to avoid a potential flood. Honestly, we found this to be a small sacrifice for such a beautiful venue. The Wedding Day: The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect. Oana played a key role in ensuring everything went off without a hitch. Our guests loved the venue, and many commented on the stunning views. It felt like our little hidden gem, and all our hard work paid off. The photos were breathtaking, especially with the unobstructed views of Golden Ears. In the end, Mountain View Farm was the perfect choice for an outdoor wedding. We're so glad we had the flexibility to customize the space with our own vendors and decorations, and it gave us the beautiful, peaceful setting we were looking for.

Just a word of advice that this is way out there off the grid, therefore, if your GPS doesn't read this properly....don't worry about it. This isn't the first time that I have heard of this happening. The venue itself is small and cute, tiny bathroom. It is good for outdoor receiptions simply 'cause it gets really cramped inside. It is "cozy."

Quite enjoyable. I've been advised that cyclists aren't allowed on the trail however dogs on leashes and horses are. (We didn't see any horses today although there was at least one pile of horse manure and a few horseshoe prints on some of the trails). Some notices posted on bears being in the area though. I will definitely be back. Today we walked the 10.6km in 1 hour 41 minutes.

We attended the Christmas Cocktail Crawl at Ripples Winery Events, this November, purchasing…read moretickets for a VERY reasonable price. IT WAS EXCELLENT!! It was a great start to the Christmas season, with the entire venue decorated beautifully with Christmas trees lit up in fairy lights, country charm decor, cozy fire pits and quality live music. None of us drink alcohol so we chose the DD tickets. An assortment of delicious appetizers and wonderful non-alcoholic mocktails (as well as alcoholic cocktails) and beverages were served at 12 different 'stations'. We wandered about, enjoying the ambiance, listening to great music, choosing our appetizers and beverages, and receiving the most excellent service from all the people who worked the event. A huge "thank you" to Caroline and Chris, as well as to the whole team, whose creativity and hospitality shone through every part of the event. We enjoyed every moment. We will DEFINITELY go again next November. It's a very popular event so plan early for next Christmas. It's a good idea to make a reservation and purchase tickets for any of their events early, when they advertise for next year. This year's events were 'sold out'...so you know they provide a great experience.

We attended a wedding here at the Secret Garden today and what a beautiful venue!! It is rustic,…read morepretty and very lush with a plethora of tropical trees! Having the roof over the space was great as it did rain but they will still able to maintain the open air feeling. I absolutely love the covered fire area where you can sit with a glass of wine and get some fresh air! The ceremony and reception were in the same space with a quick turn around in between. There is a really great room for cocktails and appies for guests that would prefer to stay in between the ceremony and reception! The location is a bit remote but only 10 mins to some great restaurants in Abbotsford for those that want to grab a bite in between! Would highly recommend this venue...it's beautiful!

The lavender field is lovely, with plenty of beautiful spots to take photos and enjoy the view. It's a great place for couples, families, friends, or even a solo day-off visit like mine. They also have a parking lot that fits around 25 cars, which is helpful, plus a gift shop where you can check out lavender-themed items. I also tried the lavender ice cream, and it was delicious and refreshing after walking around the field. When I visited, the candle-making activity was not open yet, but I heard it will be available in July, which sounds like another fun reason to come back. Overall, it was a beautiful and calming experience. I'm glad I visited, and I would recommend checking it out if you love lavender, scenic views, and peaceful outdoor places.
