Just outside of Sooke, along a quiet stretch of Vancouver Island’s southwest coast, Ocean Wilderness Inn offers a wedding setting defined by seclusion, scale, and unfiltered West Coast landscape. Located in Shirley, British Columbia, the inn sits overlooking the sea – far enough from the city to feel removed, yet close enough to Victoria for practical planning and guest travel.

Ocean Wilderness Inn is not a traditional wedding venue in the conventional sense. There is no ballroom, no fixed ceremony site, and no sense of being “on display.” Instead, it functions as a private coastal retreat that couples can reserve in its entirety, creating space for intimate weddings that feel personal, secluded, and grounded in place.

A Private Coastal Setting

The defining feature of Ocean Wilderness Inn is its setting. The property is surrounded by dense West Coast forest, with wide, open views across the water. Tall trees, mossy groundcover, and coastal trails frame the inn, offering natural privacy and quiet that is increasingly difficult to find in destination wedding venues.

Full Inn Rentals for Intimate Weddings

Ocean Wilderness Inn is best suited for small weddings, elopements, and celebrations where guest count is intentionally limited. The inn offers eight guest suites, accommodating approximately 16–20 guests depending on room configuration. Full inn buyouts are available, allowing couples to reserve the entire property for exclusive use.

This setup is especially well suited to intimate weddings, where guests aren’t simply arriving for a few hours but settling in together. With everyone staying on site, the celebration naturally stretches beyond the ceremony itself, unfolding over a full weekend — from arrival and quiet anticipation, to the morning after, when there’s time to linger over coffee and take in the view one last time.

For couples who want to step away from the start-and-stop rhythm of traditional venues, this slower pace is part of the appeal. There’s no rush to clear a room or move on to the next moment. Conversations happen when they happen, meals are shared without a strict timeline, and guests can drift easily between gathering together and retreating to their own private space. The result is a wedding that feels relaxed, personal, and genuinely shared.

Accommodations and Shared Spaces

Each guest suite at Ocean Wilderness Inn offers its own private entrance and en-suite bathroom, creating a sense of quiet retreat for guests throughout the weekend. The accommodations are thoughtfully designed for comfort and ease, inviting guests to settle in and stay awhile rather than simply pass through.

Beyond the rooms, the property opens into a series of shared outdoor spaces – forest paths, ocean-facing patios, and tucked-away gathering spots where people naturally come together. These areas often become the setting for relaxed meals, unhurried conversations, or a quiet glass of wine after the ceremony. The ocean-view hot tub, perched above the water, is another place guests tend to linger, especially as the evening light fades.

Because the inn serves as both venue and accommodation, weddings here often unfold more like a private retreat than a single day’s event. There’s space for welcome dinners, slow mornings, and time spent together without an agenda – moments that encourage connection in a way that feels natural, unforced, and deeply calm.

Flexible Planning, No Preset Packages

Ocean Wilderness Inn is intentionally unstructured when it comes to weddings. Rather than offering preset packages or in-house coordination, the inn provides a beautifully secluded setting and comfortable accommodations, giving couples the freedom to shape their celebration in a way that feels true to them.

This approach resonates with couples who enjoy being involved in the planning process or who already have vendors they trust. Catering, florals, rentals, and coordination can be brought in as needed, allowing the celebration to be scaled thoughtfully – whether that means keeping things simple or adding a few carefully chosen details.

Without a rigid framework, the inn naturally lends itself to elopements, micro-weddings, and gatherings that focus more on the experience than the production. Surrounded by forest and ocean, many couples choose to keep décor minimal, letting the landscape set the tone and create a sense of quiet elegance throughout the day.

Location and Accessibility

Shirley is located approximately one hour west of Victoria, making Ocean Wilderness Inn accessible for local and out-of-town guests alike. The drive along Highway 14 is scenic and coastal, contributing to the sense of arrival and separation from city life.

Despite its secluded feel, the inn is close enough to Sooke for practical needs, including accommodations overflow, dining options, and supplies. This balance between remoteness and accessibility is a key reason couples choose the location – it feels like an escape without requiring extensive travel logistics.

A Venue for Couples Who Value Seclusion

Ocean Wilderness Inn tends to resonate with couples who have a clear sense of what matters most to them. It is not designed for large guest lists or tightly choreographed timelines, but for those who value privacy, simplicity, and meaningful time spent with the people closest to them — all within a setting that feels quietly and unmistakably West Coast.

For these couples, the inn offers something increasingly hard to find: a wedding environment that feels peaceful, contained, and intentionally intimate. There are no crowds passing through, no shared spaces with unfamiliar faces, and no competing events unfolding nearby.

Instead, there is coastline stretching out in front of you, forest all around, and the freedom to celebrate at a pace that feels natural – unhurried, personal, and entirely your own.

Wilderness + Waterfalls Wedding

Ashley and Mike proved that last-minute planning can be exceptional! Their Vancouver Island wedding may have been small but mighty. Fourteen guests (and their dog Moka) joined them as they made it legal in the same spot they had romantically promised to be together a year before.

The love story spans many years, coming together in their elopement-style day. Ashley and Mike had been sweethearts when they were young and, later in life, came together again. Mike got a job offer in San Jose, California, so the couple decided it was time to make some dreams come true. Their naturally beautiful BC wedding showcased a ceremony at Lower Myra Falls in Strathcona Park. Afterward, they held a private dinner at one of the larger cabins at Strathcona Park Lodge. 

One of the fun moments of the day was meeting the other couple who were marrying the same day at Strathcona Park Lodge. Their photographer noticed they looked pretty similar and took the money shot! The couples are still in touch. (You are invited to another Aly Sibley wedding!)

We love the bride’s boho gown with ruffled sleeves (and the bridal boots!), the chill vibe, the groom’s vest, the guests, and the dog everywhere that day. Ashley + Mike are a wonderful example of bringing nature into your Vancouver Island elopement-style day. A true Wilderness+ Waterfalls wedding!

Elope to the Edge of the World: Love on BC’s Wild West Coast

The idea of walking down an aisle makes you break out in the cold sweats? A seating plan makes you want to jump off a cliff? You are not the only one…lots of couples in love decide to toss the big wedding. Instead, they chose to tie the knot by eloping to British Columbia. Couples love the intimacy, the romance, and the choice to elope anywhere at all. Micro weddings and elopements are trending as we see ‘We Eloped’ photos populating our Pinterest feed. So what are some of the amazing things about eloping on the West Coast, and why consider it?

Money, Money, Money 

We know you are in love, but money matters these days—a lot. Fun fact: a traditional wedding costs between $ 30k and $50k, while an elopement costs between $4k and $6k.  Eloping cuts costs drastically and allows you to indulge. Suddenly, there is cash to spare, so go ahead, arrive in a helicopter in the Rocky Mountains, have a lush cascading bouquet, or honeymoon around the world. Some of you who are more sensible will put down a deposit on a condo. Send out wonderful announcement cards when you get home. You can afford it!

On Top of the World

When you were planning a large wedding, you looked at venues near home so guests would not have to travel far. You can throw all that out the window. Do you have a West Coast wedding dream destination on your bucket list? Or perhaps a favourite romantic place you have always wanted to have your wedding ceremony? Go for it! Eloping means you can get married on the top of a snow-covered mountain, on a driftwood-covered beach, under the moss-covered trees in Tofino, in a secret corner of Vancouver or Victoria, or anywhere else you have your heart set on (we have a soft spot for Whistler!). Dream big!

Stress? What Stress? Just Elope!

Remember the cliched bridezilla frantically trying to sort out the seating chart and losing her mind over the appies? Eloping means you will never be one of those brides! Planning companies let you plan your entire elopement online in simple, step-by-step choices. It’s all over in minutes. All you have to do is turn up dressed in whatever makes you and your honey happy. Try Vancouver Island Elopement, Elope Tofino or Young, Hip & Married on the mainland.

The Family & Friends Special

In the past, some couples were shy about eloping because no one would be with them. That is the perfect thing for some who elope, but it’s not a rule. Why not have your closest family and friends join you? Some elopements feature just the wedding party. Others include parents and siblings. That’s the lovely thing about eloping – you can do whatever you like and invite whomever you want!

Stunning, Stupendous, Crazy Epic Photos

Yes, we know that was too many adjectives. But how else do we describe your intimate photoshoot? Instead of rushed photos because your guests are waiting on you or endless variations on family poses, you have all the time in the world to take stunning pictures. Choose an experienced adventure wedding photographer, and voila! photos that will stun you, and everyone else, too!

Loving the Pet-Friendly Vibes

What self-respecting furbaby parent wants to leave their pet at home on such a momentous occasion? Eloping simples that up. Choose an elopement destination that welcomes pets and add them to the travel arrangements. Your pet can serve as the ring bearer/witness for the ceremony! 

Elope to the Edge of the World: Love on BC’s Wild West Coast

We could go on and on about all the fantastic reasons to have a West Coast Elopement, but the best reason of all is how it will make the two of you feel. Newlyweds who have eloped can’t say enough about how it was the best day of their lives. No stress and full of romance and adventure. A truly perfect memory of promising forever to each other. So, relax and truly cherish your wedding day by eloping!

Enjoy this amazing elopement of Andrew + Kenji!

Beauty and The Beach Wedding Inspiration…

A boho beach wedding dream – love under a crocheted teepee! There’s something magical about the ocean breeze, the rhythmic crashing of waves, and the soft sand beneath your feet that makes a beach wedding feel like a fairytale. Add a touch of bohemian charm with a crocheted teepee, and you have a setting that’s both intimate and unforgettable.

A scene of love and serenity unfolds on the picturesque shores of a Vancouver beach. With cascading red hair adorned by a delicate flower crown, the bride sits beside her groom under a boho-inspired crocheted teepee. The natural beauty of the setting is matched only by the creative inspiration of Vancouver’s local wedding professionals who adorned this tableau with flowers and decor.

The Bride’s Enchanting Look

The bride’s vibrant red hair flows freely, a striking contrast against the earthy tones of the beach. Her flower crown, crafted from fresh blooms, features burnt orange roses interwoven with cream-colored flowers, a palette that perfectly complements the coastal surroundings. This warm color scheme exudes a sense of romance and timeless elegance. Her boho-style gown, with its intricate lace details, moves gently with the breeze, adding an ethereal quality to her look. The bride’s look showcases bohemian makeup in copper, gold, and blush hues that bring out the beauty of her gorgeous ginger hair.

A Bouquet That Tells a Story

We love the bouquets and florals that mirror the tones of the floral crown. It’s a harmonious blend of exotic orange roses, burgundies, champagne peaches, and hints of taupe flowers. The arrangements are luxurious as if gathered during a morning stroll along a meadow, yet they are meticulously styled to embody the bohemian aesthetic. These colors pop against the neutral backdrop of the sand and sea and evoke warmth and passion, a perfect snapshot of love. The cascading bouquet is our favorite thing about this inspo shoot – what a marvelous work of art!

The Groom’s Effortless Style

The groom(s) complement the bride’s boho vibe with a relaxed yet polished look. Dressed in a light linen shirt and tailored trousers, his attire is ideal for the beach’s laid-back ambiance. Barefoot in the sand, he radiates calm and confidence, creating a picture-perfect duo with his bride. We love how style choices are presented – the buttoned-up suit jacket for a more formal look or the bowtie and suspenders for the boho look. Either way, the groom looks excellent!

The Crocheted Teepee: A Boho Masterpiece

The centerpiece of this dreamy setup is the crocheted teepee. Its intricate patterns cast delicate shadows on the sand, creating a cozy nook for the couple to share heartfelt moments. Topped with another cascading bouquet of roses and lisianthus, the teepee is a blend of artistry and nature. It’s not just a backdrop for photos; it’s just so beach-perfect!

The Vancouver Beach Setting

The Vancouver coastline serves as the perfect canvas for this romantic tableau. With the ocean stretching endlessly behind them and the mountains faintly visible in the distance, the setting captures the raw beauty of nature. The soft golden hues of the setting sun add a touch of magic, bathing the couple in warm light as they sit together, lost in their world.

Capturing the Moment

Every detail of this Beauty and the Beach wedding inspiration reflects thoughtful local Vancouver planning and love. The natural elements and the couple’s unique style create an unforgettable look. It’s a celebration combining nature’s wonders with personal touches. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s both romantic and unconventional, take inspiration from this Vancouver boho beach affair.

Farm elegance on Vancouver Island… On a beautiful spring evening, this golden hour boho-inspired elopement photoshoot was captured at Yellow Point Farm in Ladysmith, BC. The inspiration was to blend the elegance of the couple and the stunning dress with the rustic charm of the farm. The beautiful landscapes of Yellow Point Farm, epic golden hour light, and the cute little farm animals brought this elopement shoot to life! With the eagles soaring high above and the flowers on the trees and blueberry bushes coming into bloom, it was the perfect backdrop for Kara and Tate’s shoot.

We love the fusion of rustic and beauty. So many couples are looking for a relaxed and casual venue while maintaining some high style for their special day. The bride’s stunning gown in golden peach tones is the perfect foil for the groom in a white shirt. The bride’s bouquet is an extraordinary affair of ferns, ivy, burgundy, and ivory flowers held together with flowing ivory ribbons.

The lovely, eye-catching wood ceremony backdrop is adorned with ivy, ferns, and hellebores, but the scenery behind it is the real winner! The baby goats are cute, too. We love the pretty cake on a table overflowing with greenery, which pulls all the elements of this Nanaimo elopement together. So many amazing things are happening here, but the sunset light is the game-changer—such epic photos with the colors aligning perfectly. Farm Elegance on Vancouver Island is a true West Coast wedding inspiration.

Lush + Vibrant Vows

A picturesque venue, Bloedel Conservatory in Vancouver, creates the perfect storm of romance, charm, and tropical greenery for Mai and Jordan’s elopement. Lush greenery and diverse plants and birds (100 exotic birds, koi fish, and 500 exotic plants and flowers!) create a pretty, picturesque spot to exchange wedding vows.

Mai and Jordan’s wedding day was a magical, fun, and amazing celebration of love and commitment. Amongst Bloedel’s lush greenery and vibrant flora, the couple exchanged heartfelt vows, surrounded by the joyful chirping of birds and the sweet fragrance of flowers. There were tears and laughter as their special day was filled with memories. Their photographer, Anzal, said, “It was an honor to photograph such a beautiful celebration of love in such a stunning and unique venue.”

We love the naturalness of this ceremony and the bride’s lovely gown. Vancouver boasts many beautiful spots to hold your wedding ceremony, and Bloedel Conservatory deserves a place of honor.  If you are nature lovers but don’t want to chance being rained out on your wedding, a tropical conservatory takes all the worry out of your day. Jordan and Mai’s lush + vibrant vows are the perfect indoor garden Vancouver wedding inspiration.

Planning Your Hiking Adventure Elopement

Who hasn’t heard about hiking meet-cutes? Couples who go hiking for their first date, who meet on a trail or a hiking group chat, couples who travel to trail destinations, and the ones who swipe right when they find a fellow hiking enthusiast. And, of course, the epic wilderness engagement stories. West Coast Weddings knows that hiking weddings and elopements are the ultimate adventures for our no-limit couples. (Or, if you have an actual mile limit, that’s quite understandable, too!). 

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF A HIKING ELOPEMENT IS FOR YOU? 

Real romantic hikers are the ones who can track their relationship by the mountain peaks they climb. It’s true! The first kiss, the first ‘I love you,’ and the proposal will all have happened outdoors. So, of course, you will want the adventure elopement of a lifetime. Is there a secluded lake you always wanted to exchange vows at or a mountain view you found together? Do you dream of a destination hiking wedding – somewhere the two of you have always planned to reach? The sky is the limit! (No free-hiking, though…save that for another time!)

So, you know you want to exchange your vows in a natural setting. What are some things you need to chat out?

1. How long of a hike and day do you want your elopement to be?
2. Do you want to have guests with you? If so, how far can they hike in?
3. Do you have a preference for season and location?
4. Is sunrise or sunset all important to you?
5. Do you want to include transportation such as boats or helicopters?

The answers will guide you in choosing your location, time of day, and how far you will hike before your ceremony. Don’t jump to conclusions about your guests. There are amazing scenic spots that even those who are health-challenged can enjoy. Just make sure your guests are on board with the idea and up to the walk! 

British Columbia offers custom hiking elopement packages that allow you to choose your destination and customize your experience. All-inclusive elopement packages simplify adventure elopement planning and create a stress-free experience! Check out Whistler Elopement Adventure Weddings. Sea to Sky Elopements, Young, Hip and Married, Leanne Sim Photography, or Vancouver Island’s Amore Adventures.

WHAT ABOUT HIKING ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY? 

A hiking elopement is simple but leaves some things to consider, such as photography. What do you want as a couple? Are you just looking to document the ceremony, or do you want the out-of-this-world photos that will be insta-worthy? Hiking elopements give you some fun photo moments. Are you getting ready under a tree? A bouquet hanging out of the backpack? Are the two of you helping each other over a creek? These are dream photo moments! 

Most importantly, your photographer must be known for wilderness photography AND an experienced hiker. There is no point having your fav photographer if they can’t walk a half mile before keeling over!  Have no fear, though. West Coast Weddings searches for amazing photographers whose specialty is knowing the best local wilderness spots and views. Take a look at Film + Forest Photo or Erica Miller Photography. We love Erin Wallis Photography on Vancouver Island, and Gabe McClintock will take things to a whole different level. It’s your moment for once-in-a-lifetime photos, and you want to grab it with both hands!

REHEARSE YOUR ELOPEMENT

Let’s be real. You can be an Olympian-level athlete, but this is still not the time for an endurance hike. You will take in a few more things than usual, stop for photos, change and primp outdoors, exchange vows, and, hopefully, celebrate with some champagne. Your return hike should be kisses and happiness – not grim exhaustion from reaching an all-time best distance!! 

So, the best idea is to practice the hike ahead of time. Not only will this be a chill way to spend time together, but it is a great way to get rid of nerves. You will know how long it will take you to get to your ceremony and where you can get pretty. You can check out the best time of day for the light and where you would like to stand while exchanging your vows. And, as you are experienced hikers, you will figure out the logistics of water and energy bars (or champagne)!

WHAT NOT TO WEAR – HIKING ELOPEMENT STYLE

This one trips up a lot of eloping couples (pun intended)! Even experienced hikers find a shocking change when wearing a long wedding gown or a suit and tie. So, this needs to be hashed out ahead of time. How far are you going, and how difficult is the trail? It’s just not a great idea to go through a babbling brook or climbing up rocks in your gown. Plus – you will not be looking your best self when you arrive! 

Here is the skinny. Packing up your wedding finery and changing once you reach your chosen spot is prime. What you wear while getting to your ceremony can be just as important. You don’t want to end up miserable because you didn’t dress for the weather. (We can’t stress this enough – wear warm footwear if you are having a winter elopement!!) So check before you leave. Once you arrive, you can change into your gorgeous gown and stylish suit, primp your hair, and touch up the lipstick.

PRO TIPS: Take a hand mirror with you! If you are wearing a veil, have your hairstylist practice with you how to place it firmly in your hair. There is no point losing it to the wind! Makeup artists will provide you with a ‘freshening up’ kit upon request. Be sure to let your florist know that your bouquet needs to be ‘light’ – this is not the time to be a floral heavyweight champion!

If you are avid hikers, then an adventure wedding is the only way to go. Enjoy creating your authentic West Coast elopement story filled with intimacy, excitement, and epic views. Your love story will be a spectacular life experience and a wedding all rolled up into one hike!

Runaway Romance

This Airport Elopement is all about the glam. gold and gorgeous! A custom headpiece, aviator goggles, and epic Reclamation gown lifted this scene to new heights. We were thrilled to feature this styled shoot in our West Coast Weddings Magazine Vancouver Island issue.

The bridal ensemble features an epic cropped bodice and skirt with a golden-sparkle sheer overskirt. The fashionista look is complemented by the besparkled captain’s hat and veil. It’s glitter, glitter, everywhere with her hair and makeup, creating a gold glowing look. The thigh-high slit in the skirt and rocking white cowboy boots are the icing on this fashion cake.

The groom is not left behind, garnering attention in bejeweled aviator goggles, an oversized vest, and black boots. We love the assortment of rings and face gems. Best of all, he is wearing an amazing attitude with his ensemble! 

We love that the runway and plane are one of the main characters in this tableau. You can hear the ‘up, up, and away’ vibe in every shot. Adventure and travel are wonderful themes for an elopement or wedding, and we feel like that comes through in every glam-punk moment of this styled inspo. The white and gold dried grass bouquet and boutonniere tie the sky-high look together.

Runaway Romance is a true West Coast Glam Elopement inspiration for couples searching for a unique look on their big day. 

TIP: Don’t feel brave enough to wear this glam on your wedding day? Consider a themed pre-wedding shoot at your local airfield!

Enchanted Rain Forest

Wedding Romance in Tofino at the stunning Wickaninnish Inn…a magical shoot among the towering old-growth trees of Vancouver Island. In the lush forest that whispers tales of forgotten magic, this fairytale-like elopement embraces all the beautiful elements of the West Coast.

The bride’s flowing wedding dress by Hannah Tikkanen recalls the gentle waves of the ocean and harmonizes with the lush greens of the ancient rainforest. The gown is a work of art, an homage to the great paintings of sea goddesses. The lightly colored diaphanous skirt floats behind the bride as she walks through the forest and onto the beach, revealing a unique bodice and sleeves. The groom takes beach style to a new level in his light-colored suit and lovely boutonniere. 

We love the utterly perfect florals in the forest and on the water. Whimsical summer flowers gracefully climb the old-growth tree, blending their colors with the woodland in soft pastels and creamy tones. The beach blossoms work perfectly on the ceremony backdrop, using the blue sky as a blank canvas. We love the bouquet’s trailing ribbons blowing in the breeze.

On Shell Beach, time seemed to stand still as the couple shared intimate moments, embracing the serenity of the golden hour. A long driftwood table decorated with elegant simplicity hosted a romantic dinner for two with a lovely cake nearby just waiting to be cut.  Ayla Pena created beach-inspired invites and vow books using glass and seashells in delicate pastels. We love the gold, ocean-inspired wedding rings by local artist Lisa Fletcher and the log ‘seats’!

Enchanted Rain Forest Romance is the West Coast wedding inspiration of dreams, which is why it was featured in the West Coast Wedding Magazine Vancouver Island issue. We love everything about this green Tofino elopement, and it inspires every rainforest-inspired bride and groom!
