Marryfield - Forest Weddings & Elopements
A Secluded, Open-Air Wedding Venue with a Million-Dollar View!
If you’ve ever dreamed of saying your vows in the heart of the West Coast wilderness, surrounded by 360 degree panoramic views, Marryfield is the venue for you. Nestled on my private 260-acre property, this intimate outdoor wedding space offers couples a breathtaking and truly immersive nature experience.
Marryfield isn’t just another wedding venue—it’s a brand-new, one-of-a-kind space designed for those who crave adventure, beauty, and authenticity. While the venue is still in development, exciting updates are already underway!
A handcrafted cobblestone lookout with a rustic arch will soon be in place, offering a stunning setting for your ceremony. We’re also adding wooden bench seating, cozy cabins, and more thoughtful touches to ensure an unforgettable wedding experience.
If you’re looking for a refined ballroom or grand banquet hall, this may not be the venue for you. But if you love the idea of an untamed, awe-inspiring setting—where nature itself serves as the décor—Marryfield will take your breath away.
A Photographer’s Dream Location
As a photographer, I can confidently say this venue offers some of the most spectacular backdrops on Vancouver Island. I can’t wait to share our progress as we create a beautiful space for you wedding or elopement.
Ceremony Space – Rustic Charm Meets Wild Beauty
Currently under construction, the Marryfield ceremony space will be ready by early summer 2025. It will feature:
- Wooden bench seating for up to 40 guests (best suited for 20 or fewer due to limited facilities).
- A beautifully crafted cobblestone lookout with a rustic arch for exchanging vows.
- An unforgettable view in all directions, that your guests will enjoy as much as you.
- The sounds of birdsong and rustling leaves—your wedding soundtrack provided by nature itself!
While Marryfield is still a developing venue, the ceremony space will provide a truly magical setting for couples who want to embrace the raw beauty of the West Coast.
Pre-Ceremony & Preparation Space
One of the unique features of Marryfield is the private cabin, available for couples before the ceremony. This 400 sq. ft. space offers:
✔ A quiet, cozy retreat for getting ready.
✔ A kitchenette for light refreshments.
✔ A private restroom for added comfort.
While the rest of the venue is rugged and outdoorsy, this cabin provides a touch of convenience so you can relax before your big moment.

Reception & Post-Ceremony Gatherings
Currently, Marryfield does not have an indoor reception space, but plans are in motion for 2026 and beyond to expand our offerings! In the meantime, couples can:
🌿 Enjoy a small, outdoor celebration with champagne toasts and picnic-style dining.
🌿 Take stunning post-ceremony photos at our breathtaking lookout points.
🌿 Arrange for a reception at a nearby venue—we’re happy to provide recommendations!
Marryfield is perfect for elopements, pop-up weddings, and intimate celebrations, where the focus is on the experience rather than a traditional sit-down dinner.
Accessibility & Considerations – Is This the Right Venue for You?
Marryfield is designed for nature lovers and those who embrace adventure. Before booking, here are a few things to consider:
✔ The venue is rugged and outdoorsy, not suited for those seeking luxury
✔ Portable restrooms are provided, but facilities are minimal.
✔ Comfortable footwear is recommended—this is not a high-heel-friendly venue!
✔ The road up to the venue is unpaved, so an SUV or truck is recommended, though most cars should be able to make it up to the top.
For those who love the idea of exchanging vows surrounded by towering trees, fresh mountain air, and breathtaking landscapes, Marryfield will deliver an unforgettable experience.
