Services

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.
