“We’ve been organizing weddings at Pacific Sands for over 10 years,” declared Sheila Orchiston, owner at Rare Earth Weddings. “It’s such a magic setting; the perfect balance of raw and natural, yet so stunning.
“And there are so many outdoor backdrops to choose from to make it special, along with the onsite Rainforest Tent which is a spectacular place to have an indoor dinner or reception literally in the forest!
“Just like every couple is unique, so is every ceremony. We love creating customized nuptials, and are steadily booking through summer and fall of 2021, into 2022 and beyond.”
