I adore Vancouver Island. There is so much to offer in one amazing package. You can have anything you want from a barefoot seaside ceremony, an elegant rooftop city affair, gorgeous vineyard event to a magical mountaintop destination wedding. We literally have it all here. The vendors are also world class and we don't live here because we have to, we do because we love it here. Islanders are a bit different, and it's my kind of place. I had a previous venue post, but thought it was time to update with some of my all time favourite island destinations, to possibly help you find your perfect wedding location on Vancouver Island. (if I've skipped any of your favourite spots please send me an email and I'll try and make sure they make the list)
