Our favorite locations for an intimate wedding or elopement in the Magdalen Islands
And that’s just a glimpse!
The cliffs of Cape Alright
A small lighthouse, cliffs plunging into the sea, and a breathtaking sunrise… it’s hard to imagine a better setting to say “I do.” The sound of waves in the background and the view of Entry Island on the horizon add a wild and romantic touch to this unique moment.
The hills
These small green hills offer panoramic views of the sea and the rest of the islands. At sunset, the golden light transforms the scene into a movie set. Whether it’s the Buttes Pelées or the Buttes des Demoiselles, it’s the perfect spot for an intimate wedding high up in the hills, with the feeling of being alone in the world.
Dune du Sud beach
Golden sand, striking ochre cliffs, and the gentle sound of the wind… The Dune du Sud beach is the perfect place for a simple ceremony with your feet in the sand. Far from the crowds, you can fully enjoy the moment, with the ocean as your witness.
They said “I do” on the Magdalen Islands.
Professional, charismatic, dynamic, caring, attentive! Our elopement would never have been the same without them. We laughed, we cried, and they managed to capture it all perfectly!
