Prince Edward County is nestled in between Toronto and Ottawa. While it’s been growing in popularity over the past few years, it’s still quiet enough that you can enjoy a gorgeous summer beach trip or a fall wine tour for a weekend away. You can spend the day at Sandbanks Provincial Park enjoying the turquoise water and sand dunes, or do a wine tour before exploring the county. There are also so many amazing Airbnbs in the PEC area where you can host guests or have an intimate elopement. From urban and intimate to a more retro feel in photos, there are so many places to cater to your elopement or wedding style! In the heart of wine country and surrounded by amazing eateries is where you can find the best Prince Edward County wedding venues.
PEC is the most ideal place to book an intimate elopement. With a quaint yet busy town, this place is perfect for a more casual feel. Only a two-hour drive away, the Toronto Pearson International Airport serves flights from all over the world. It is also approximately 3 hours from Ottawa’s airport. Having a rental car is a must in this area as everything is spread out and there isn’t much in the way of public transport.
Considering peak times is key when booking a spot at one of these intimate locations. Summer is peak season for crowds while spring and fall are slightly less populated. Winter is quiet compared to other seasons. In my opinion?! Summer and fall are the best! It’s always busy in the summer, but the beaches are gorgeous and it’s amazing to explore in nice weather.
Tip: Leave yourself extra time to just drive around the county and explore!
