OceanFront Suites at Cowichan Bay

There are wedding mornings when you open the curtains and immediately remember exactly why you chose the venue.

At OceanFront Suites at Cowichan Bay, that view is water, mountains and the peaceful seaside village stretching beyond the windows.

The hotel actively welcomes weddings and elopements, with panoramic views of Cowichan Bay and Mount Tzouhalem and indoor celebrations for up to approximately 100 guests.

That makes it beautifully suited to couples who want a destination feeling without making everyone travel particularly far.

Guests can stay right at the hotel.

The wedding party wakes up nearby.

Friends meet for breakfast before getting ready.

Then eventually everyone gathers for the reason they came.

After the vows, the couple can step toward the waterfront while guests begin cocktails.

For a few minutes there is just Cowichan Bay, the mountain beyond it and the person they have just married.

Then dinner brings everyone together again.

Food, speeches and dancing unfold while the coastal landscape remains just outside.

And when the evening finally ends, many of the people who celebrated can simply head upstairs.

For couples who want their wedding to feel like a little Vancouver Island escape, OceanFront Suites offers something wonderfully easy.

The sea.

The mountains.

And everyone staying close enough to enjoy the whole experience together.
