Weddings & Events

4602 Oak Rd., Pender Island, BC — Our little slice of paradise.

Say "I do" at this prime oceanfront wedding venue on Pender Island, BC, in the Southern Gulf Islands.

Exchange vows on our picturesque beach while the waves crash in the background and the sun sets on the horizon. Our beautiful site boasts panoramic ocean views and accommodates up to 100 people on-site with parking.

The beautiful beach house, which sleeps 14, is available to rent for your wedding party. This historic home was built as close to the ocean as possible, with a level walkout to the small pebble beach.

The property is stunning and features a large cut-flower garden, right near the water. When our flowers are in bloom, we'd love to help you use them for your special day.

The venue booking includes three nights. (For example, Thursday-Sunday or Friday-Monday.)

Our experienced event planning team will work with you to create the wedding of your dreams. Let us make your special day one that you and your guests will never forget.
