Lavender & Black

The farm is designed for intimate celebrations, hosting up to 12 guests. It’s an ideal setting for elopements or micro-weddings where couples want a private, meaningful experience surrounded by nature.

Lavender & Black is Salt Spring Island’s renowned lavender farm, offering a serene and beautifully cultivated landscape with fields of lavender, rolling hills, and West Coast charm. The combination of fragrant blooms and natural island views makes it a truly one-of-a-kind backdrop.

The farm is available year-round, though the lavender is in full bloom from mid-June through late July, usually lasting about five weeks. By August, the blooms are finished, so couples looking for the classic purple lavender fields should plan within that window.

Yes. The farm works beautifully for small ceremonies and intimate gatherings afterward. Many couples opt for a simple reception or celebratory meal on the property, or move to another island venue or restaurant for dining with their guests.

Folklore Wedding Company offers both planning and media services to ensure a seamless experience. Our on-island planners coordinate every detail of your elopement or micro-wedding, while our creative team provides photography, videography, and unique offerings such as tintype portraits. A key part of our role is also collaborating with Salt Spring’s talented local vendors, florists, chefs, bakers, and designers, so that every celebration feels deeply rooted in the island’s community and culture.

Yes. Friendly pets are welcome at the farm as long as they remain leashed and under supervision.

Lavender & Black is an entirely outdoor venue, so embracing the elements is part of the experience. In case of rain, clear umbrellas will be provided for the couple and all guests. For dinner or gathering spaces, we may need to get creative with alternate arrangements, and our planning team will help design a solution that fits your celebration.

Investments listed on our site are starting estimates, based on the base costs of our core vendor team. Final pricing can vary depending on the specific services, design choices, and vendors couples select. In the end, the total may be more, or in some cases less than the starting price. While our costs reflect a planning fee that works within the current structure of each package, we also offer customized packages for an additional planning fee. Our planners work with each couple to create a clear, personalized proposal that reflects their vision and priorities.

Not at all. While many couples choose to work with our in-house media team because we know our partner venues intimately and have a seamless working relationship between planning and media, we are always happy to collaborate with outside creatives. The benefit of keeping everything under the Folklore umbrella is efficiency and consistency, our planners and photographers are already aligned on timelines, lighting, and location logistics, but if you have another photographer or filmmaker in mind, we’ll gladly integrate them into your wedding plan.
