Ocean Acres

Ocean Acres is for the couple who would happily trade chandeliers for cottages, camper sites and a weekend on Prince Edward Island with all their favourite people.

Tucked near the fishing village of Murray Harbour, this relaxed property welcomes weddings and events with accommodation, catering and plenty of space for everyone to settle in and stay awhile.

This is not the wedding where guests arrive for six carefully scheduled hours and immediately disappear again.

They can make a weekend of it.

Families can take over cottages.

Friends can bring campers.

People wake up already together rather than spending the morning travelling from different hotels toward the same ceremony.

And that gives the wedding a wonderfully relaxed feeling before it has even begun.

Ocean Acres can help host and cater the celebration, while the wider property gives couples the freedom to build something that feels more like an Island gathering than a formal ballroom reception.

There is space for children to play.

Space for families to catch up.

Space for guests to wander away from the main celebration for a conversation and somehow still remain part of everything happening.

Then evening settles over southeastern PEI.

Dinner has been eaten.

The wedding clothes have become considerably less tidy.

Someone who was absolutely not going to dance is dancing.

And nobody staying on the property has to worry about making a long journey home.

Eventually everyone disappears into cottages and campers.

Morning arrives.

Doors begin opening again.

Coffee appears.

And the wedding that technically ended the night before gets one lovely little encore over breakfast.

For couples who want less fuss and more time with their people, Ocean Acres lets the celebration breathe.
