The perfect spot to tie the knot
Friday, May 30th, 2008 by GetawayBC.com
From beautiful sandy beaches and spectacular sunsets to the slew of charming seaside boutiques and restaurants, it’s no wonder millions of couples flock to the Peninsula to tie the knot.
Whether you desire to get married barefoot on the sand, or in one of the various churches scattered throughout the South Surrey and White Rock area, there’s certainly no shortage of options.
While a permit isn’t required for a seaside ceremony and there isn’t a cost to exchange vows on any Peninsula beach, bridal parties aren’t allowed to restrict access to the public or erect any structures. It’s also advised to call the city hall to check if there’s any overlapping of events.
On a sunny day, it’s not unusual to spot a bridal party or two posing for a photographer, as it’s an ideal setting for portraits, especially wedding photos.
In addition to having a variety of ceremony sites, the Peninsula offers a wealth of reception halls, from mansions and golf courses to various halls and banquet facilities.
But the Peninsula isn’t just a destination to tie the knot, cut the cake and dance until dawn.
It’s also a hotspot for brides-to-be to get ready for the big day.
Bakeries, florists and bridal boutiques have put this gem of a community on the map and in the hearts of brides-to-be all over the Lower Mainland.;
