Schedule

We have planned a wedding weekend inspired by a classic Tom and April long weekend, and would love for you to join us, whether for a few events or the whole mountain to sea adventure! Tom proposed to April at Secret Beach in Tofino, and we can’t wait to share this beautiful place with all of you. To help us coordinate, please RSVP to any events you’d like to attend by the 1st of August, 2025, using the "RSVP" tab. As space is very limited, if we haven’t received your response by then, we’ll assume you’re unable to join and may extend the invite to others. Here’s what we have planned on the stunning West Coast of Vancouver Island.

Thursday, July 23, 2026

Welcome Event

6:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Tofino Brewing Co
691 Industrial Way, Tofino, BC V0R 2Z0, Canada

Casual Attire: Anything goes, from sundresses and sandals to jeans and tees.

For those arriving on Thursday evening, we’d love to welcome you at the local brewery in town! Enjoy a free drink on us and grab a bite from an Asian-style food truck serving up delicious eats for purchase. If you need a recommendation, the Hokkaido chicken is our favorite :)

Sunrise Mountain Hike

7:00 am - 1:00 pm

Hišimy̓awiƛ / 5040 Peak Trailhead to Cobalt Lake
BC V9Y 9A5, Canada

Hiking boots, active wear, water and food

Hišimy̓awiƛ means “Gather Together” in the Barkley Sound dialect of the Ucluelet First Nation. We would love to gather together with our friends and family who are ready to drive up a forest service road and ascend on a steep hike into the mountains (Type: Out & Back, Length: 3.2km, Difficulty: Hard, Estimated Time: 3hrs, Elevation Gain: 544m). Tom and April (plus Mitchell :) tackled this hike once before, in the dead of winter, with the ambitious goal of skiing and surfing in the same day. This time, we are hoping for a less snow covered route to see the breathtaking views of Vancouver Island. Note the allotted time and be ready for some decent elevation gain! It’s all part of the Tom and April adventure! If you would like to take a more causal route (kid-friendly), check out the Tonquin Trail in the "Things to Do" tab.

Afternoon Surf & Beach

1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Cox Bay is one of Tofino’s top surf spots, but even if you’re not catching waves, it’s a great place for a beach walk, picnic or swim. Cox is easily accessible from Pacific Sands Resort, Surf Grove Campground, or the public parking area via the trail just past the bathroom block. We will set up close to the trail head so everyone can find us :) Surfboard rentals are available at Surf Grove Campground and Surf Sister at Pacific Sands Resort at your own cost. See more details in the "Things to Do" tab.

Wedding Ceremony

1:45 pm - 3:00 pm

Beach Attire: Whether you prefer breezy linens and bare feet or elegant evening gowns, all attire is welcome! Just keep in mind that heels and sand don’t always mix.

Take the Beach Trail from the Wickaninnish Inn to join us on the beach to witness the marriage of Tom and April, surrounded by our beautiful friends and family in a place we love so much.

Cocktail Hour & Reception Dinner

3:00 pm - 11:45 pm

Join us for a few local cocktails, a beautiful dinner and a night of dancing! Unfortunately, we cannot extend the dinner invite to children, unless they can sit on your lap. Our numbers are very limited so we ask you please RVSP as soon as possible. We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Whale Watching Tour

1:30 pm - 4:30 pm

Whale Watching in Tofino is an unforgettable way to wrap up the weekend, and research shows that tours haven’t impacted the presence of these amazing animals around Tofino. You know April will be there, and we’d love for you to join too! If enough people RSVP, we may be able to book out a full boat, or even a couple! We ask people cover their own cost for this adventure. Bring warm layers and come ready for an incredible day at sea.

For all the days along the way
