Heriot Bay Inn

Last reviewed: August 13, 2026. Business status: Active.

Last reviewed: August 13, 2026. Heriot Bay Inn is an active Quadra Island wedding venue at an inn on Heriot Bay. Its official wedding information describes hosting both ceremonies and receptions, with three licensed reception spaces, buffet or plated catering, and an event coordinator for wedding packages.

For couples looking at an island celebration with lodging in the same property, the Inn also promotes a whole-hotel accommodation option. The official site says that package includes 10 hotel rooms, three cabins and a suite. It is worth treating this as an accommodation option to discuss with the venue, rather than an automatic inclusion in every wedding booking.

Services and specialization

Heriot Bay Inn’s wedding offering centres on ceremony and reception hosting. The official Weddings page says its packages include an event coordinator, service staff and a customized floor plan. It also states that the Inn can host wedding groups year-round.

For receptions, the Inn identifies three licensed spaces: the Fireside Lounge, Herons Dining Room with its outside deck, and the Bay View Room with a walk-out patio. The Fireside Lounge is described as an intimate space with a stone fireplace, hand-carved bar and personal bartender. Herons is presented for receptions, private dining and dancing; the Bay View Room is described for small receptions and cocktails.

In-house wedding catering is offered in buffet or plated formats. The venue says its menus feature west coast seafood and other specialties, and that it can work with couples on a menu for their function. The official material does not publish a complete wedding menu, dietary policy or a list of included rentals, so those details should be requested directly.

• Three licensed reception spaces
• Wedding coordination, service staff and customized floor plan
• Buffet-style or plated catering
• Whole-hotel group accommodation option

Service area and who it may suit

This is a fixed-location venue on Quadra Island in British Columbia, at Heriot Bay. The official site also describes the Inn as being near Campbell River. It does not advertise off-site wedding services or a travel service area, so the relevant service area is the property itself.

The offering may suit couples who want a ceremony and reception at the same location and who are considering group accommodation at the Inn. It may also be relevant for celebrations that need a choice of indoor reception rooms and an outside deck. The official site does not state wedding capacity, minimum guest count, accessibility details or an exclusive-use policy for individual rooms, so couples should not assume these arrangements.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature is the combination of wedding spaces, catering and accommodation under the Heriot Bay Inn operation. The whole-hotel option includes 10 hotel rooms, three cabins and a suite, while the wedding page identifies three licensed rooms for receptions. Those are concrete planning features for a multi-day wedding group.

The official site describes year-round wedding hosting and identifies an event coordinator as part of wedding packages. It also confirms buffet and plated meal service. These are service descriptions, not independent ratings or guarantees.

The practical limitation is that the public wedding information does not set out capacity by room, current date availability, ceremony-site arrangements, weather contingency, decor rules, vendor rules, accessibility, bar terms or what is included in a quoted package. These are important items to confirm in writing before comparing proposals.

• Confirmed: three licensed reception rooms
• Confirmed: plated and buffet catering options
• Confirmed: group lodging can be discussed through the whole-hotel option
• To confirm: guest count, inclusions, exclusivity and accessibility

Pricing

Current wedding pricing is not explicitly published. The official wedding page refers to competitive rates, but it does not provide a wedding package price, site fee, food-and-beverage minimum, catering per-person price, tax treatment or gratuity information.

The Inn’s whole-hotel page advertises a 2026 rate of $1,000 per night for midweek winter rental of the whole hotel. That is an accommodation-rental figure, not a published all-in wedding quote. Couples should ask whether their preferred date qualifies and request a written estimate that separates lodging, room hire, catering, bar service, coordination, taxes and any other fees.

Contact and booking

For wedding enquiries, the official Weddings page directs couples to email info@heriotbayinn.com or call the toll-free number 1-888-605-4545. The official Contact page also lists 250-285-3322. The mailing address shown on that page is Box 100, Heriot Bay, BC V0P-1H0.

Begin with the wedding enquiry route and provide the preferred date, estimated guest count, ceremony and reception needs, accommodation requirements and meal format. The site says rental rates and sample menus are available on enquiry, making a direct written quote the appropriate next step.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, ask which reception room is available for the date and how the ceremony, cocktail time, dinner and dancing would be laid out. Request the current capacity and minimum-spend or site-fee details for the selected space, as the official pages do not publish them.

If accommodation is part of the plan, confirm whether the whole-hotel option is available, exactly which rooms, cabins and suite are included, the number of guests each can accommodate, check-in and check-out arrangements, and whether the event spaces are private to the group. Also request the current catering menus, bar options, dietary accommodation process, deposit schedule, cancellation terms and all taxes or service charges.

For broader research before contacting venues, couples can use the Canada Wedding Directory and the Wedding Bridal Guide.
