Logistics isn't the most romantic word, are we right? But this is probably the most important page you'll need to read if you want to join us on August 9th! Bodega Ridge can be an awkward place to get to if you don't plan ahead.
Galiano is a small island and accommodation will fill up quickly for the summer. We are taking care of on-island transportation to and from Bodega Ridge on the wedding day.
There are two slightly nicer hotels on the island with availability.
There is availability at Galiano Inn
Woodstone Manor also currently has availability

There are lots of Air B n B options on the island. We have found that a lot of the places have not advertised availability yet but if you do a search for a place in the Spring, then get in contact with them, they can open up availability for August 8th to 10th.
There are also camping options here https://galianoisland.com/montague-prov-campground-k2-park-serv
If you are having any problems finding a place to stay get in contact with us!! We have got quite deep into this! This needs to be close to the top of your to do list!!
As you will have no doubt gathered by now, this wedding is on an island and you will need to be a very talented swimmer to get yourself and a fresh set of clothes over there. Thankfully BC ferries offer regular runs to the island (Sturdies Bay) from Vancouver (Tsawwassen) and Victoria (Swartz Bay). The BC ferries schedule can be found here. You can book here
Ferries are approximately $60 for the car then $25 per person each way.
Alternatively you can look into float planes from Vancouver with Sea Air https://www.seairseaplanes.com/
We would suggest renting a car for the duration of your stay. There is a lots to do on the island but most of it requires wheels.
Galiano has very few amenities and grocery options. If you are looking to rent a car we would suggest buying provisions (lunches, adult beverages, etc) on the mainland before coming over.
