Wow – we are now through our fifth year here at Coastal Weddings! This is the first year we exclusively stayed here on the BC Sunshine Coast, only planning weddings here at home and once again planned more weddings than ever before – many thanks to our amazing clients, we could not have done it without you!
This year we added our onsite event trailer, more chairs, tables, and many more linen options. We also added to our large rental decor collection – with more vases and of course lots of little pretty details like chalkboards and signs.
With the increasing demand for our floral and design services and commitment to using local products, the Coastal Weddings Cutting garden was born. Although starting out small and very water dependant we are going to “grow” it by quite a bit this year! When you order your flowers you know that at least some of the florals in your bouquets and centrepieces come directly from the Sunshine Coast.
This year there were many challenges and despite the extreme drought we faced we had the rainiest wedding season we have ever had. Our all-inclusive wedding packages have become popular, and we have loved working with all the vacation rentals for some really small and unique weddings including the first-ever ceremony at Dakota Ridge!
Wedding highlights of 2015
- The first wedding at Dakota Ridge
- Taking some Chicago wedding guests from the Pointhouse out to Sergeants Bay to catch some fresh crabs
- Rowing a bride and groom out to a small island for that perfect shot

Huge shout out to the amazing photographers that push the boundaries and showcase the amazing Sunshine Coast to the world and enable us to show our work in a way that we would never be able to!
