If you’re looking to mix refined elegance with sandy feet and salty air into your celebration, a Wickaninnish Inn wedding is for you! Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering, a “just us” elopement or a large family affair, a Tofino beach wedding never goes out of style.

Set on the edge of Vancouver Island’s west coast, this unique venue has its own private beach for your ceremony and a restaurant perched out on a rocky outcrop with a 240º view of the Pacific Ocean rolling onto the shore. Known for its seasonal and inventive fine dining, The Pointe Restaurant at the Inn provides an incredible, locally-based menu for you and your guests. And after all that sophistication, you can opt for s’mores around the beach campfire to finish the night.

With its astounding natural setting, it’s no wonder the Wickaninnish Inn has an international reputation. The surrounding temperate rainforest contains old-growth trees and creates a striking backdrop, highlighting why this is one of the most highly-sought beach wedding venues in BC. The west coast may be known for some inclement weather, but even in storm season (perhaps especially so) it’s a place of extraordinary beauty.

The Inn has a variety of accommodations with beachfront, ocean and forest views. There’s plenty of space here for all your friends and family to stay (book in advance for high season!). The Inn’s in-house spa, Ancient Cedars, offers an array of treatments for indulging in some relaxation on the days leading up to the wedding, or to pamper you and your guests on the days after.

Alongside the number of activities and restaurants available in Tofino and the Pacific Rim—including surfing in Pacific Rim National Park, whale watching, kayaking or fishing—the team at the Wickaninnish Inn are happy to assist you plan group activities and add personal touches for your celebration.

Located on the west coast of Vancouver Island, Tofino is a five-hour drive north of Victoria. You can also travel there by floatplane from multiple locations on the island and the lower mainland, including Vancouver.
