Planning a wedding or elopement is something that each Bride and Groom will only do once. Making sure you have everything covered can be stressful and time consuming. West Coast Weddings & Events specializes in making the whole process as painless, enjoyable and stress free as possible. With everything taken care of, you’ll be able to relax and enjoy your day ~ and even if there are any last minute panics, I’ll be there to catch them and you won’t even know.

I have over thirty years of experience of living on the west coast and working in the hospitality business. When you are planning your destination wedding on the west coast from further afield, my experience and knowledge will be invaluable to you. I have the right background and connections to make sure that your wedding is one that your guests and you will talk about for many years to come. I have solutions for every type of wedding and budget. I offer a number of different services to help you plan the wedding you dream of ~ from full service, custom planning to just being available on the day to help coordinate everyone, and to ensure everything runs smoothly. I can also help with smaller touches that will make your wedding special such as welcome gifts for your guests, or gifts for your bridesmaids.

Suzanne, Wedding coordinator at West Coast Weddings and Events, explains, ‘This lovely couple from Vancouver wanted to celebrate both of their ethnic cultures with families and friends, yet also have a romantic, magical wedding that told their love story. It was very important to showcase the West Coast and their connection to it. Frances and Satty’s love of the outdoors, great cuisine, music and zest for life would shine through the day. “West Coast Weddings and Events has planned hundreds of Tofino & Ucluelet weddings since 2006. Suzanne recommends as many local services as possible who she believes will fit the vision (and especially the budget) of the bride and groom.

Happy Clients

“I just got engaged a few weeks ago, and couldn’t have done it at all or know where to even begin if not for Suzanne’s help. I’ve always known I wanted to do it this year, but the situation made travel plans unsure and ever changing. I had less than a month left to start planning, and ended up reaching out to Suzanne. From the very first time I reached out to her, armed with only a few basic ideas which inevitably grew to very lofty proposal plans and must-haves, she just radiated confidence in her abilities and made me feel very secure and at ease that we can pull it off. I could not be happier with how it turned out, and the event was as extravagant and as detailed than what I honestly deserved by giving her only a moment’s notice. From her calm and easy going demeanor that helped me through what would otherwise be one of the most stressful experiences for me, to her valuable work and personal contacts which were paramount to making important aspects of the proposal work, I highly recommend her and have no doubt at this point of her ability to make the most with whatever she’s given. Her professionalism is off the charts - I’d forever be grateful to her and the rest of the team she played a huge hand in assembling.”

"My husband and I had picked a wedding date in September earlier this year before COVID so when everything shut down we weren't too sure what we would do. Do we put it off until next year? Elope? When things started to open up again, we decided to go ahead with it. We kept the original date and just abided by the ever changing COVID orders which left us- well who's kidding who, left me with a little over 6 weeks to plan the entire wedding. I wasn't too sure how much the venue would be involved so I had a consultation with Suzanne and got her onboard. I was extremely overwhelmed with it all at the beginning but after a couple of conversations with Suzanne and settling on a vision I was able to navigate the details with Suzanne and the venue checking in on me via text, email or a phone call and going over questions, timelines, suggestions and providing advice. She was especially helpful on the day of the wedding. Suzanne was there the entire day helping with flower and cake delivery, checking in on me and the groom while we were getting ready, monitoring the time throughout the day and during the reception, staying later in the evening to help clean up. This left me worry free during the day which was much appreciated. She was a pleasure to work with and I would definitely recommend working with Suzanne! "
