I highly recommend Prince Edward Island... it's beautiful, unique and much cheaper than the big cities you have listed. The beaches are breath-taking.... the whole island is relaxing and something out of a movie!
If you want something small and inexpensive, consider Halifax :) It's a great city, with loads of little towns along the ocean with beautiful scenery!! I know there are tons of yacht clubs that host weddings, and you may even find a nice B&B!!
Quebec City is amazing, but I'm not sure how easy it would be to find someone english speaking to marry you, you'd have more luck in Montreal if you pick Quebec.
@missbeachbum: That sounds awesome! I'm going to check it out! Thanks!
Ditto to what the other posters have said, the east coast is by far less expensive, and tons tons tons of grogeous places. Vancouver is probably the most expensive city in Canada, lots of gorgeous resorts in B.C., as well as the okanogan valley, but probably more expensive.
Banff/Lake Louise are popular destinations, but also on the pricier side.
PEI has a special place in my heart....we go there every summer and each time I am more amazed than before! My friend got married there last summer and I believe they have a destination wedding phone number you can call to get more info.
I have also lived in Nova Scotia, Quebec, British Columbia and New Brunswick...they are all beautiful in their own way, but PEI is just so unique and seems to fit what you're looking for. It's starting to become more well-known (Regis & Kelly did a weeks worth of shows there last summer, Will&Kate are visiting this summer)...but still maintains its small-town charm.
.....Now I want to have MY wedding there!!! :-)
@OttawaBride2011: That sounds beautiful too! I'm checking it out as well. These are really helpful! It's so hard to know what's out there! I've only ever been to Quebec City and nearby places like Ile d'Orleans, and I loved it-- but most of the people in our party don't speak French, which I'm starting to think could be a problem... ;) I love the look of these seaside areas-- Gorgeous!!
@missbeachbum: Oooh! Do you know what the number for help with destination weddings there is? I'm Google-ing PEI information now, so I might come across it too... Also, if you have suggestions for places to stay there that aren't super expensive, but that are nice and accomodating... I'd love to hear them! :)
@AnneNM82 - This is what I came up with when I did a search, from their tourism website:

Good luck! Let me know if you have any more q's!
Sorry just saw your part about accommodations....Cavendish has a lot of lovely cottages. My FI is actually right there now on his bachelor party (golf is very big on the island as well if you're into that) so I'll ask where he stayed.
In the past we've stayed at:
http://www.cavendishbosombuddies.com/
http://www.cavendishbeachcottages.com/
And they've all been very nice. Charlottetown has some decent hotels and is more of a 'big-city' vibe (I say that loosely because there's maybe 35,000 people!). I'd start by picking a town and then search for cottages/hotels from there.
@missbeachbum: I'm checking those places out!! As far as accomodations go, we mostly just need food accomodations-- we have a couple of people with extreme food allergies and a vegetarian...
Thank you, bees! I feel so lost looking for locations right now-- I appreciate all the suggestions and advice!
I live on Vancouver Island. There are really a lot of great places here for wedding. You can check online: Long Beach Resort (Tofino), Black Rock (in Ucluelet). These are really amazing places. Plus there are many lakes around the areas, which are great for photos. The price is quite good. My Fi and I almost made a reservation in Long Beach Resort, but his mom insisted we need to get married in Montreal (where she lives).
Other great options are Banff, Lake Louise.
I am going to get married in Montreal, which is a great city. Old Montreal is really a great place for getting married. ** My Fi and I met there.
Try White Point Beach Lodge in Nova Scotia (nearest city is Halifax). It's stunning, and probably way cheaper than the stuff here in Ontario/Quebec. It's absolutely beautiful as well
The Canadian Rockies are AMAZING!! I was recently there for a wedding and it was absolutely breathtaking!! I would recommend looking into Banff, Jasper, Canmore, Lake Louise.. They also have some awesome attractions for your travelling guest to check out like the Colombia Ice Fields, Jasper Tram, West Edmonton Mall (HUGE), and many many other things...
I'm really late on this, but Tobermory, ON is an absolutely breathtaking place. I'm sure you've already picked your place, but for all other future brides...
It's breathtaking to say the least.
If you are still pondering and considering I would say to go to the west part of Canada. I have been to several weddings and worked on several weddings with a friend who owns a company, in the mountains of Banff and Canmore. You just need to look around to price it out. Canmore can give you the same views but at a cheaper price then if you were to keep everything in Banff. Either way its a great way to invite people to a destination wedding, while getting in a vacation and wonderful scenery too! Let me know if you need any help or resources if you decide to go west :)

Hi! I've been thinking about doing an intimate destination wedding in Vancouver Island, Montreal, or Quebec City-- or in another beautiful Canadian location you might suggest. Do you have any suggestions for inexpensive, but beautiful places? Do you know of any small chapels that would work well? Any resorts that would make good spots for a small, quiet group? Your country is gorgeous. Let me know!
