Wild & Beautiful Outdoor Intimate Wedding & Elopement Locations in Côte-Nord
Imagine an intimate, authentic day, just the two of you or surrounded by a few close ones, in a dreamy location.
If a big wedding doesn’t excite you, why not do things differently?
Saying “I do” in the heart of nature, without pressure or fuss, just the pure joy of being together.
Why Choose Côte-Nord for Your Elopement or Intimate Wedding?
Love in its wildest form
Let’s be honest: the Côte-Nord region is our absolute favorite in Quebec. It’s the essence of raw nature, both majestic and untamed. With over 1,000 km of coastline, the landscapes change at every turn, and the weather shifts as you move east. Here, you’ll find endless rocky capes, dramatic cliffs, and wild beaches that make you just want to stop, sit, and let the wind rock you. Cities like Baie-Comeau, Sept-Îles, and Havre-Saint-Pierre are perfect gateways to explore this character-filled region. And even after all our explorations, it always feels like the Côte-Nord region has hidden gems yet to reveal.
But if we had to pick one place that wows us every single time, it would be the Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve. Taking a zodiac or boat taxi and seeing those islands shaped by the elements appear on the horizon is pure freedom. The whales often join us during our crossings, adding even more magic to the place. And those limestone monoliths, sculpted by time over thousands of years, give the park an almost surreal feel. Honestly, who hasn’t dreamed of camping on a deserted island or spending the night in a lighthouse?
The Côte-Nord region is the perfect playground for couples seeking adventure, freedom, and an intimate wedding away from the conventions. It’s the ideal place for an elopement off the beaten path.
Some unforgettable locations in nature for your intimate wedding in the Côte-Nord region
Endless Sandy Beaches
The Côte-Nord region is dotted with wild beaches that stretch for miles, providing an intimate and breathtaking backdrop for a simple wedding. Whether it’s at Pointe-aux-Outardes, Sept-Îles, Longue-Pointe-de-Mingan, or Natashquan, you’ll find fine sand, wind-sculpted dunes, and a golden light at the end of the day. Here, barefoot in the sand, with the horizon as your only witness, every moment becomes unforgettable.
Manitou Falls
For an intimate wedding in perfect harmony with nature, the Manitou Falls, located near Rivière-au-Tonnerre, offer a setting that is both powerful and peaceful. Imagine exchanging vows in complete intimacy, surrounded by the boreal forest and serenaded by the soothing sound of water cascading over the rocks. A hidden gem, ideal for a timeless moment, where only love and the raw beauty of the landscape matter.
Mingan Archipelago
Exchanging vows in the heart of the Mingan Archipelago means uniting in a landscape that feels like it came straight out of a dream. Surrounded by monoliths shaped by millennia of erosion and serenaded by the song of the waves, you can feel the power and poetry of nature here. Picture a sunset ceremony, with the limestone cliffs in the background and the vastness of the sea in front of you. A place as magical as it is wild.
Tadoussac
At the gateway to the Côte-Nord region, Tadoussac is where mountains plunge into the river, creating a spectacular setting. A wedding on the heights of the Tadoussac Dunes, overlooking the Saint-Laurent estuary, offers a breathtaking view and an atmosphere that is both romantic and wild.

Who is Love is Nord?
We’re Josée and Patrick, a couple of photographers specializing in intimate weddings and elopements in nature everywhere in Quebec.
For years, we’ve traveled throughout the province, helping couples celebrate their love away from the beaten path.
We love the salty scent of the St Lawrence River just as much as the fresh aroma of the boreal forest after the rain. What excites us? Capturing authentic moments, whether with our feet in the water or hair in the wind, bathed in the golden light of a sunset. Because for us, a wedding isn’t a staged event – it’s a raw, intimate, and sincere moment that reflects who you truly are.
Love is Nord is the best decision you could make for an intimate wedding.., Josée and Patrick's good humor and beautiful soul put us at ease right away. The photos tell a story, it's simply wonderful!
Rosalie & Félix
Right from the start, they gave us sound advice on location, logistics and our Côte-Nord road trip. On our wedding day, we felt confident and everything went smoothly. We had a wonderful time with you. And what can I say about the photos! Each one more magical than the last, true to this unique moment in our lives.
Laurence &Vincent
We wanted to get married our way: simple, relaxed and intimate. But we had no idea how to get there. Love is Nord guided us through the planning process to make the right decisions for us. As we thought about it, we realized that we wanted to “be with the flow” rather than organize a day that was run on the clock. They were 200% comfortable with that.
Annie & Dominic
And we wouldn’t have it any other way!
