Please be sure to book your room using the discount code as soon as possible. Rooms fill up quickly this time of year and the preferred rate is subject to availability and at the hotel’s discretion. This means if they are nearing selling out, the preferred rate will no longer be available. There are also other hotels and homes available to rent in Victoria.
Shuttle
July 13, 2024 3:45 pm - 12:00 am
Shuttles will be provided to and from the venue on Saturday, July 13th. Two large shuttles will be providing transportation from the Victoria Marriott Inner Harbour with pickup at 3:45 PM. In the evening, there will be a shuttle providing ongoing transportation from Hatley Castle back to the same Marriott with tentative departure times of 10:30 and 11:30 PM. There will also be a smaller van through LA Limo doing an 11:30 PM pickup to hopefully make sure everyone makes it back easily. Hatley Castle also has a large parking lot available for those who prefer to drive, but please note it is also open to the public on a first come, first served basis. With the relatively small wedding size we don't anticipate it being a problem, but we unfortunately cannot reserve any parking spots for guests. There are no Ubers or Lyfts in Victoria, however there are several local cab companies you can reach out to. Please see info below: Esquimalt Saanich Taxi: +1 (250) 386-7766 Bluebird Cabs LTD: +1 (250) 382-2222 Yellow Cab of Victoria: +1 (250) 381-2222 Bluebird Cabs and Yellow Cab even have their own apps that you can use for the duration of your stay in Victoria!
Travel Note
If flying into Victoria there are a few options: From Vancouver International Airport, it is 30-40 minutes to the Vancouver-Swartz Bay ferry terminal (https://www.bcferries.com/routes-fares/schedules/daily/TSA-SWB), which supports commuter traffic and runs at a regular cadence throughout the day. From Swartz Bay it's another 40 minutes, traffic permitting, to downtown Victoria. The Victoria International Airport is just south of the Swartz Bay ferry terminal, and is also around 40 minutes outside of downtown. From Seattle-Tacoma International airport, you can head to downtown Seattle and take either the ferry (https://www.clippervacations.com/seattle-victoria-ferry/) or a float plane (e.g., https://kenmoreair.com/victoria-inner-harbour/) straight to downtown Victoria. If you will have a car, you have an additional ferry option from Port Angeles, WA (https://www.cohoferry.com/) that will also drop you off downtown. **This is a popular time of year to visit Victoria, so we encourage you to book your travel arrangements, especially any ferry or plane tickets, early to avoid spots filling up. Please, don't forget your passports!!
