Wickaninnish Inn

The Wickaninnish Inn has long understood that a Tofino wedding does not need to compete with the landscape. Perched beside Chesterman Beach and old-growth rainforest, the inn offers everything from elopements for two to larger celebrations and even full-property buyouts.

Intimate receptions can gather in the Salal Room, which accommodates around 40 guests and can connect with the Shoreline Terrace. Smaller celebrations can use the glass-enclosed terrace or Howard's Wine Cellar, each suited to groups of roughly 20. Outdoor arrangements can also be considered, allowing the ocean and forest to remain at the centre of the experience.

A dedicated special-events team helps tailor the wedding, while the inn's dining, accommodation and spa create possibilities around the ceremony itself, from welcome gatherings to a goodbye brunch. That makes it possible for family and friends to share more than the formal hours of the wedding.

There is a quiet grandeur to marrying here. The Pacific can be calm or dramatic, the beach can glow or disappear into mist, and somehow both versions feel right. The Wickaninnish Inn gives couples a refined place to gather while leaving enough room for Tofino to be beautifully, unpredictably itself.
