Saxe Point Park

We opted to pay $35 to book a public park for our wedding ceremony. The park itself is beautiful – a huge expanse of green ending in gorgeous blue ocean. There are ocean lookout spots, but we choose a grassy spot overlooking the water for our perfect location. We booked the site via email, paid with a cheque, and that’s all we had to do. They don’t allow you to mess up the park, which was fine with us (confetti, etc. are not permitted), and there are a few other rules to be aware of before you book. We did have to ask a group of rowdy teenagers to move and turn off their music, but they complied willingly when they were told there was a wedding happening. Our ceremony was beautiful in every way – and the sun started to go down over the water as we were ending, so the pictures were magazine-gorgeous too, with boats and the sunset in the background. The venue also has a forested part on one end, for more great photo ops. It was perfectly west-coast in every way, and we were so glad we chose it. We chose it to save money in the beginning, but ultimately, it turned out perfectly.
