Vancouver Island is on the west coast of Canada, sitting partially below the 49th Parallel. It’s a beautiful place full of wildlife, rainforests, and absurdly priced real estate, where Emma grew up, and where Jack hopes to grow up. Watch this documentary to get a sense of the vibe.

All roads lead to Rome and none lead to Vancouver Island… because it’s an island.

Travel recommendations can be found on the Details page. If you’re visiting the region, there are several options for varying levels of scenic travel.

For the welcome party, think summer garden party!

For the wedding and reception: formal attire! (The bridal party will be in shades of green, the groomsmen in charcoal, if you’re wondering.)

Since we want to keep our wedding as intimate as possible, we're only inviting our closest loved ones. We look forward to seeing you soon!

If you have any questions, please reach out.

A rental car is a good idea! The ceremony will be in downtown Victoria, the reception will be about 45 minutes away. Uber and public transit are not very reliable on the island.

Parking information will be posted on the Details page when available.

A rental car will also be necessary if you plan on exploring more of the exceptional beauty that Vancouver Island has to offer while you’re there.

We want all of the adults to have a great time, so we politely request no children who require supervision (below 10 years of age).

Thank you in advance for understanding.

Nope. Doesn’t make sense, does it? I don’t get it either. George Vancouver slapped his name on all kinds of stuff back in the day.

Vancouver is on the mainland, while Victoria is the main city on Vancouver Island. Victoria is also the capital of British Columbia! We recommend checking out the beautiful provincial Parliament building while you’re on the island.

Explore downtown Victoria! Check out the historic Empress Hotel, Canada’s oldest Chinatown, the Royal BC Museum and take a water taxi to Fisherman’s Wharf.

Interested in seeing sights by water? Try kayaking in the downtown inner harbour (rentals at Fairways Gorge Paddling Club). For a nature-orient kayak, go to Sooke harbour (rentals at West Coast Outdoor Adventure).

For garden lovers, Butchart Gardens is worth a visit.

Yearning for a hike or a beach? There are countless options!

For the more adventurous folk - go whale watching, take a harbour plane, take a day drip to Sidney Island or Saltspring Island, or if you dare… drive four hours north to go cold-water surfing in Tofino.
