Joel Married on 16/05/2023Romantic Wedding on the Beach
My wife and I had our wedding at the Tigh-Na-Mara Resort in mid-May 2023 and the entire process was wonderful and consistently exceeded our expectations. We planned the entire wedding remotely from Edmonton, AB, and the communication from the resort during this process was extremely good.
The resort offers several wedding packages which we found reasonably price and included food, drinks, the fee for the Reception area, decorations and several other services. My primary contact during the planning was the resort Wedding and Event manager, Jackie Legzdins, who was fabulous at answering all of our questions and making accommodations to make our special day perfect. We were concerned that planning a wedding through email would be difficult but Jackie made the process simple. She was also very involved on the day of our wedding and helped make sure the set-up, Ceremony and Reception all ran smoothly.
The resort hosted an event called "Savour the Date" during the Winter before wedding season begins which offers couples an opportunity to sample the entire food menu, drinks and meet local wedding vendors. My wife and I were not able to attend but Jackie was wonderful about welcoming my parents to go in our absence and they had an excellent time. We were able to meet and hire an officiant and photographer during this event.
The Ceremony venue, the Oceanside Gazebo, was a stunning location with a gorgeous view of the ocean. The Reception took place in the conference centre in the Grand Moriarty room and the resort did an amazing job decorating and preparing the area before our guests arrived. Every resort employees who was involved in our wedding was extremely professional, kind and courteous. The bartenders, waiting team, kitchen staff and other employees were spectacular.
The food itself was of very high quality and the menu is expansive - I would encourage everyone who holds their wedding at Tigh-Na-Mara to attend the 'Savour the Date" event to pick their dinner entrees and canapes.
I would encourage anyone looking to have their wedding near the Ocean on Vancouver Island to strongly consider having their special day at this location, we were so amazed by the entire day. -

Rachael B. Married on 17/09/2022Hosted our perfect dream wedding!
We had our wedding at Tigh Na Mara this August and Jackie was there from day 1 to help with any questions and concerns we had and to help with the craziness of planning a wedding. She is professional, organized, approachable and a great person!! She was nothing short of AMAZING. The day before our wedding we had a run through meeting with her and she put us at ease that she would handle everything. From picking up our marriage license in the morning to give to the officiant when she arrived, to delivering the bridal party to the ceremony space to even bustling my dress before our grand entrance she was there for everything. She was the eyes and ears for us and we appreciated her so very much. If you are wanting a gorgeous wedding venue from the rustic forest scenes to the breathtaking beach (especially amazing for pictures) Tigh Na Mara in Parksville is the place for you. Also want to send a big shout out to the Banquet Manager, Christina and her staff, the bartenders (they kept up with our wedding of 96 people who know how to drink!!) ALL the staff at Tigh Na Mara for making us feel special and making our wedding and stay run smoothly and stress free as possible. -

We had a magical wedding weekend at Tigh-na-mara. The Tigh-na-mara staff was incredible throughout the whole process of planning and executing the wedding. Their wedding coordinator Jackie was so helpful and supportive. The staff made everything run incredibly smoothly.
Our wedding had many children attending, so having a resort which is also a wonderful place for kids was perfect. The staff helped us organize a number of events surrounding the wedding including campfire evenings on the beach and family luncheons.
Our ceremony was at the gazebo overlooking the ocean. The setting was spectacular. Our guests loved it. Tigh-na-mara organized a cocktail reception for immediately after the ceremony with drinks and delicious hors-d'oeuvres. We were greeted with wine as we completed the recession.
The banquet hall where the reception took place, looked spectacular. The food was wonderful and the staff took constant care of our guests.
A number of our guests had such a wonderful time, they told us they would be shifting their summer vacations to Tigh-na-mara.
We could not recommend a place to hold your wedding more highly. -

The staff at Tigh Na Mara were so welcoming, friendly, helpful and amazing!
Our wedding was beautiful. From the gazebo overlooking the ocean, to the Garden Patio where we held the reception, it was perfection. The wedding coordinator was super helpful with whatever we needed and we can’t thank her enough for making the day go so smoothly.
I highly recommend this resort and the staff for your wedding, function or simply a vacation! We are already talking about spending our one year anniversary back at Tigh Na Mara. -

Tara Married on 14/07/2022Perfect Wedding Experience
We had a small wedding at Tigh-Na-Mara in July 2022, 9 of us total. It was perfect. Jackie was a delight to work with, she made the planning process and the wedding day so easy and relaxing. Everything was taken care of for us, all we had to do was show and up get married! The food and service at Cedar's was excellent. The marriage commissioner Laurel that was arranged with our wedding package was also wonderful. We had the ocean-view deluxe studio, the room was beautiful and right beside the ceremony location. We went with the baseline decor and flowers offered with our package, the decor was simple and beautiful, and my bouquet from pettle kettle was gorgeous. If you want a relaxing and intimate wedding that allows you to focus on the most important part- your new spouse, then book TNM! -

Joseph L. Married on 07/07/2022Wonderful small wedding
Highly enjoyed our stay at Tigh-Na-Mara and getting married there. Their Savor the Date event in February was awesome to meet all their people they use for weddings and it made it very easy for us to create our wedding. Highly recommend anyone to use their contractors. Everyone we used was awesome.-
