Your
Wedding or Elopement
Tofino BC British Columbia
Bridal Couples "Wedding"
on the Beach
One of my first outdoor weddings as a returning professional Canadian harpist after my re-emigration from New Zealand was at Long Beach beside the Wickaninnish Inn near Tofino on the beautiful West Coast of Vancouver Island. Tofino remains one of my favourite areas having revisited many times. If you are considering a harpist for your Tofino wedding or elopement, contact me for a no obligation quote. I perform at weddings throughout Vancouver Island BC and come fully prepared for the special challenges that a "wedding on the beach" may offer.
Have fun!

The Beaches of Tofino
are simply an ideal location to elope or have a small
intimate wedding. Privacy away from the crowds comes
to mind. If the big city lights attract you then Tofino is not your best choice. If however, nature
tugs your heartstrings then the famous Pacific Rim Trail, hiking, kayaking, and whale
watching are Canada's best on offer.
On the Beach Accomodation locations:
|The Wickaninnish Inn - THE enchanting & acclaimed Long Beach destination
|Long Beach Lodge Resort - stunning beach perfect for eloping, small groups
|Tin Wis Resort Hotel - overlooking the majestic McKenzie Beach.
|Pacific Sands Beach Resort - surf, sand & solitude on the rugged west coast
|Middle Beach Lodge - a mile of private beach & rugged headlands
Romantic get away weddings
are never easier to organise than when the bridal couple
quietly elopes. The quorum for eloping in British Columbia
is five participants. The Bride and Groom, marriage
commissioner and two adult legal witnesses. These witnesses
can be dual purpose also functioning as both the entertainer
and photographer too. It does not get much more romantic
than having Alison as your own personal harpist for
your intimate wedding on the West Coast.

married in British Columbia.
An intimate wedding
with a few cherished guests and relatives in a stunningly beautiful region like Tofino works well too, as long as you pre-arrange for the group services
in the area for your guests to ensure the service
availability.
A comprehensive list of Tofino/Uclulet businesses can be found
at Running on Tofino
Time and Ucluelet.Net. If you have a number of guests overnight
consider hiring a Tofino Bus to shuttle everyone to, from and around
Tofino.
