The Ideal Setting for Your Perfect Day

 

Our Estate Setting

As you approach the wooden bridge, meandering past emerald moss-covered stones and through the private gated entrance, you will discover a magical 10-acre paradise nestled in central Nanaimo. With enchanting woods, cascading waterfalls, tranquil ponds, and vibrant, lush gardens in every direction, you’ll feel transported to a dreamlike world, perfectly tailored for your unique and personal wedding day or event.

​​

Surround Yourselves and Your Guests in Nature

Whether your celebration is intimate and elegant or grand and expansive, our serene natural surroundings offer a grounding experience as you embark on this exciting new chapter of your lives.

​

The Blue Heron Estate boasts countless stunning backdrops for your forever photos. You'll encounter vine-draped arbors, two gazebos, charming wooden bridges, a picturesque pond complete with a waterfall, and numerous secluded enclaves of trees and gardens that beautifully highlight your special day.

Picture Yourselves Here

For those who desire a memorable entrance to their ceremony or event, you can walk beneath one of our vine-covered arbors, cross a quaint arched bridge, and emerge from the tree canopy into the open as you proceed towards the cobblestone aisle leading to the larger of the two gazebos—ideal for grand romantic entrances and exchanging vows.

​

One of the primary considerations for outdoor weddings and events is the availability of flat ground for tents and dance floors, along with easy access for setup and deliveries. The Blue Heron Estate provides various locations and sizes to accommodate these needs. Ample parking and electricity are available at the event sites, and we also offer a lovely large room with a deck for the wedding party to prepare.

​

Another essential factor is the weather. The Blue Heron Estate features a spacious gazebo that can shelter the entire wedding party in case of rain on your special day (often considered a sign of good luck). Additionally, there is a beautiful and flat cobblestone aisle to ensure that those in heels won’t sink into the grass. Our lovely, spacious, fully plumbed bathrooms eliminate the need for porta potties, providing added comfort for your guests.
