Beachside Weddings in BC

There is something unforgettable about celebrating your wedding by the ocean. The sound of the waves, the soft coastal light, the feeling of having your favourite people gathered in one place. For couples dreaming of a beach wedding on Vancouver Island, Beach Acres Resort offers a relaxed and memorable setting right beside Rathtrevor Beach in Parksville, BC.

Set on 23 acres of mature forest and oceanfront surroundings, Beach Acres is made for wedding weekends that feel easy, intimate, and connected. Whether you are planning a small celebration, a family-focused gathering, or a full weekend with guests staying onsite, the resort gives you space to slow down and enjoy the moment.

A beach wedding setting on Vancouver Island

Beach Acres Resort is located beside one of Parksville’s most loved sandy beaches, giving couples and guests the chance to enjoy the beauty of the coast throughout the entire wedding weekend.

Rather than rushing between venues, hotels, restaurants, and activities, your group can settle into one place. Guests can wake up near the water, walk the beach, gather for meals, and enjoy time together before and after the main celebration.

For couples searching for beachside weddings that feel relaxed instead of overly formal, this is the kind of setting that lets the weekend unfold naturally.

Room for your guests to stay together

One of the biggest benefits of hosting your wedding at Beach Acres is the accommodation. Instead of guests being scattered across town, they can stay close together in cottages and townhouses across the resort.

Beach Acres offers a variety of accommodation styles, including:

Beachfront cottages

These cottages are just steps from the beach and offer the kind of stay many guests picture when they think of a Vancouver Island getaway. They are ideal for those who want to fall asleep to the sound of the sea and wake up close to the shoreline.

Beachlevel townhouses

Beachlevel townhouses offer extra space and comfort close to the water. They are a great option for families, couples, or guests who want room to settle in for the weekend.

Oceanview townhouses

Oceanview townhouses offer beautiful views, full amenities, and plenty of space. They work well for guests who want a scenic home base with a little more room to relax.

Partial Oceanview accommodations

These cottages and townhouses are conveniently located near the main building while still offering comfort and a peaceful resort setting.

Forest cottages

Tucked among mature cedar, fir, and arbutus trees, the forest cottages offer a quiet, private stay just a short walk from the beach.

Depending on your plans, you may be able to book some or all of the resort for your wedding group. Group discounts are available, making it easier for guests to stay together and share in the full wedding weekend experience.

A relaxed alternative to all inclusive wedding packages

If you are comparing all inclusive wedding packages, Beach Acres offers a flexible alternative.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all wedding package, couples can build a celebration that suits their group, style, and budget. Your guests can stay onsite, your gathering can be hosted in the resort’s event space, and local chefs and caterers can help create the food experience you want.

This makes Beach Acres a great option for couples who like the convenience of a destination-style wedding weekend, but still want room to personalize the details.

Catering options for your wedding celebration

Food is a big part of any wedding weekend, and Beach Acres connects couples with local catering options that can help bring the celebration together.

The Black Goose Inn is located right on the Beach Acres property in the historic Maclure House building, making it a convenient option for couples and guests. Additional local options include Spice of Life Catering, Galloping Gourmet, and Black & White Party Rentals.

Whether you are planning a seated meal, a casual gathering, or a smaller reception, working with local vendors allows you to shape the dining experience around the kind of wedding you want to host.

Indoor space for your reception or gathering

Beach Acres also offers banquet room rentals for wedding-related events, receptions, or group gatherings.

The Ellis Room is 26’ x 40’ and can accommodate up to 75 guests for banquet seating. It can also be arranged for theatre seating, classroom seating, an open U-shape setup, or a boardroom-style gathering.

For smaller add-on space, the Groves Room is available with an Ellis Room rental. It includes a kitchenette and soft seating, making it useful for preparation or a quiet support space during the event.

Having indoor space available is especially helpful for Vancouver Island weddings, where couples may want the beauty of the beach while still having a practical option for dining, gathering, or weather backup.

Make it a full wedding weekend

A beach wedding at Beach Acres does not have to be limited to one day. The resort setting makes it easy to turn your celebration into a full weekend with the people you love.

Guests can enjoy beach walks, time in their cottages, local dining, and nearby Parksville activities. Families can make use of the resort amenities, couples can enjoy quiet time by the ocean, and everyone has more opportunity to connect outside of the formal wedding schedule.

That is what makes Beach Acres especially well suited to wedding weekends. It gives people space to arrive, relax, celebrate, and spend real time together.
