Savoury Photos of Events Past

What a wonderful way to begin a new life together…padding around on the dock at your cottage on Bowen Island…basking in the sunshine in sundresses, Bermuda shorts and flip flops, and having all your friends and family gathered around you to wish you a happy life together! The wedding ceremony will take place a short walk away from the cottage, at approximately 2:30 in the afternoon.

Most guests will begin to arrive on the island around 4:15, and we will greet them with a signature cocktail…a refreshing Mojito. Wine, beer and mixed drinks will also be available from the bar. Our service staff will tray pass a fabulous selection of both hot and cold hors d’oeuvres, as well as the signature hors d’oeuvres– chilled jumbo prawns, tail-on, with cocktail sauce!

At 6:00, guests will be invited over to the "Burger Bar" to really feast! Home made AAA Beef burgers, as well as wild BC Salmon burgers, will be served hot off the grill, complete with all the fixings. At approximately 8:00, our service staff will serve up the wedding cake, along with freshly scooped gelato into waffle cones. A selection of BC cheeses and fresh fruits will also be put out for guests to nibble on.
