We are pleased to provide a sample menu Tasting upon request. Tastings are booked with your Event Sales Manager 2-4 months prior to your wedding date and are offered Tuesday-Thursday. Tastings are complimentary for the Bride & Groom, although a fee may be applicable depending on the Tasting Menu selections. There will be a $25 charge per additional guest attending the Tasting (max 6 people).

We understand that the wedding cake is very special and unique to our couples and we therefore allow you to bring your cake from an outside vendor. In this instance, should you require us to cut and serve your cake, a cake-cutting fee of $2.25 per person will apply.

All food and beverage is subject to an automatic 18% service charge. The service charge covers all gratuities for banquet setup, servers, bartenders and managers provided by Tsawwassen Springs. Please note that services charges are subject to 5% GST. Service charges and taxes are non-negotiable.

By Provincial Law, no alcohol may be served after 1:00am. Last call will be announced at 11:45pm. The bar closes at 12:00am and all alcohol must be removed from the premise by 1:00am.

Yes, candles are allowed in our event space separately or as a part of your floral arrangements. However, due to fire regulations, all candles must be in a glass or ceramic holder that extends at least one inch above the flame and limited to five per table. Taper candles are not allowed. Please communicate arrangements regarding placement with your Event Sales Manager. Tsawwassen Springs can provide tea lights and holders at no additional charge, maximum three per table.

Yes, your venue rental provides for Tsawwassen Springs’ white linen and napkins for your dining tables. We also provide china, flatware and glassware.

For plated dinners, a children’s menu is available upon request. For buffet menus, children ages 4 through 12 years will be charged 50% of the menu price. Toddlers under 4 years are free. Vendor meals will be coordinated with your Event Sales Manager.

Your Event Sales Manager can provide guidance with vendor suggestions and selections.

Tsawwassen Springs is not held liable for any vendors contracted through recommendations.

Our menus can be customized to your desires, within our kitchen and service capacity. Our Executive Chef and your Event Sales Manager are experienced in menu planning and will be happy to work with you to create a customized menu that reflects your personal taste and vision.

If you are planning for an outdoor ceremony and weather is poor, we can offer indoor ballroom space based on availability and your room set up. Or, you are welcome to arrange for a tent to be brought in from an outside vendor to cover the terrace.

Your rehearsal time is included complimentary. Rehearsals are scheduled for one hour, based on room availability, and must be reserved in advance through your Event Sales Manager.

We highly recommend that your music ends ½ - 1 hour before the end of your reception, or by 12 – 12:30 am. This allows enough time for your guests to give their best wishes to you and leave for the evening before the event ends.

We will require an estimated # of attendees 1 month prior to your wedding. Your final guaranteed number of attendees is required 14 days in advance of your wedding day, along with full prepayment of your Estimated Bill prepared by your Event Sales Manager.

Local Health Department rulings regarding proper refrigeration and sanitation prohibit you from taking any food or beverage with the exception of your wedding cake.

Your contract will include standard allowances for your vendor set up and take down time. Should you feel that you will require more time, please discuss options with your Event Sales Manager.
