We are very excited that Glenn & Em’s wedding was chosen as a front page feature on the Wedding Chicks. This is one of our favourite wedding blogs and you will find a lot of inspiration there when you’re planning your own wedding. So head over to their blog and leave a comment to let us know what you think of the details, etc!
The Quw’utsun’ Cultural and Conference Centre is a popular wedding location for couples getting married in the Cowichan Valley. Couples often choose to get married here because of their family ties in the area; which in general seems to be a reason for many brides and grooms to return to their roots. We must admit that the riverfront ceremony location is fantastic and the reception locations are beautiful too. Not to mention that this six acre property is beautifully landscaped.
The Quw’utsun’ Centre can host weddings up to 250 guests; but is a great place for smaller weddings as well. It seems that weddings up to about a hundred guests are the average. Ceremonies can take place outside, right alongside the river, or inside (if the weather isn’t that great) in the Clemclemaluts Theatre. For receptions there’s either the Comeakin Room, which has views of the Cowichan River and can seat up to 250 guests; or there’s the Quamichan Room which is more suitable for smaller weddings with its more intimate atmosphere. There are many options at this wedding venue and brides and grooms that are looking for a great location for their Duncan wedding should definitely contact Kathy, the event coordinator from the Quw’utsun’ Cultural and Conference Centre !
Update: Come and celebrate National Aboriginal Day at the Quw’utsun’ Cultural Centre next Monday the 21st of June. There’s free admission (or by donation) and they will be open from 10am until 4pm. At 1.30pm there will be a performance by the Quw’utsun’ Dancers, and there are totem & cultural tours and First Nations films throughout the day. You can enjoy lunch at the Riverwalk cafe from 11.30 until 3pm.
