Reviews for Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Resort
Shane the Wedding Wizard: Made Magic Happen at Tigh-Na-Mara
He even went above and beyond in navigating sensitive family dynamics, gently supporting us and our families with such thoughtfulness and care. He made it his mission to protect us from stress, taking on every challenge behind the scenes so we could be fully present and enjoy the day.
Thanks to Shane, our wedding day was not just smooth—it was magical. He truly felt like a friend by the end of it, and we honestly wished he could have stayed and celebrated with us. Shane made an enormous difference for both Thomas and me, and for our families too. We feel so lucky and grateful to have had him by our side on one of the most important days of our lives.
Now for Tigh Na Mara—this venue is an absolute dream. It was the perfect place to welcome my friends from Australia and for my husband's family and friends to experience just how breathtaking Canada—and especially Vancouver Island—really is. Even when it rained, no one could stop talking about how magical Parksville and Tigh-Na-Mara felt. It honestly just added to the cozy, West Coast charm.
The rustic log cabin vibes paired with beautifully modern interiors created the perfect balance of warmth and luxury. And don’t even get me started on the spa and grotto—the spa day became legendary among our guests. People are still talking about the Bevi water, the relaxation rooms, and how rejuvenating it all was.
We’ve had so many messages from guests saying they’re already planning their next trip back to Canada, specifically to return to Tigh-Na-Mara.
It was the most perfect setting to celebrate such a meaningful moment in our lives, and we feel so lucky to have shared it with the people we love in such an unforgettable place.

Dream Wedding Venue!
When we booked we were dealing with Jackie and the next person had big shoes to fill when she left, but Shane was wonderful! So responsive and helpful, he even gave my mom a ride in one of their golf carts to grab something from her room on the other side of the resort while we were getting ready on the wedding morning.
Amol, the banquets captain for our wedding was checking in throughout the night and making sure everything was going smoothly. Everyone was so friendly and just wanted us to enjoy ourselves.
Our guests were raving about bartender Jesse, he was great and whipped up some tasty cocktails for us! We met him at the Savour the Date event the resort holds and he helped us figure out signature cocktails to go with our wedding colours.
The gazebo is such a stunning space, and the sun came out just in time for the ceremony!
We had our dinner reception under the covered patio off the Carmanah room and it was lovely, perfect setting for our group of 50 people.
The whole team was fantastic, you won't regret having your wedding here!
