Ceremony Location

Winter Wedding Meadow

The Winter Wedding Meadow is located in the west corner of Parking Lot E with built up snow banks to add privacy. On the day of your wedding our parking attendants will cone off an area immediately in front of the snow banks for your guests parking convenience. A road-way width is left clear for wedding party transportation directly to the opening leading into the wedding meadow. Please note this area is completely snowbound so appropriate foot wear should be recommended to all those attending. Chairs may be rented for your guests through one of our locally owned rental company; contacts listed under 'wedding help' section of our wedding pages.  This location is not available for weddings between 24th Dec and 2nd Jan annually, due to the resort operating at full capacity.

Grooming

To ensure the meadow is groomed to our corduroy perfection there is a grooming charge of $300 + HST. Please note, our best efforts will be made to ensure the area is packed down for walking on—however, we cannot guarantee that fresh snow will not arrive prior to your ceremony time.

Finding the Meadow

In order to orientate yourself with the location of our winter wedding meadow please see the map below. We have 5 official parking lots marked in orange letters. Parking lot E is our over flow parking lot used on holidays and some weekends if needed. Please find it marked on the top left hand corner on the map. The west corner of this parking lot leads to our small wedding meadow area. The back drop looks down into the valley and Kalamalka lake below.

Winter Wedding Guidelines

For you and your guests' enjoyment and protection, we have a few wedding guidelines to help you to get the most out of your special day.

1. We have chosen our dedicated winter wedding location very carefully, giving you and your guests the best possible mountain views along with ease of access from our village. To secure a reservation exclusively for your special day we simply ask for a 50% deposit of the grooming fee ($150 plus HST) and the remaining balance is due 30 days prior to arrival. The rental of the meadow is only available during our winter season, which runs from last week in November to the first weekend in April and is weather dependent.

2. The wedding meadow is located in the top west corner of our parking lot E. The parking lot is used for overflow parking during peak times and can be used during some weekends of the year. Therefore we cannot guarantee that there will not be members of the general public parking in the vicinity of your ceremony. We will cone off an area of the parking lot directly in front of the meadow to accommodate your estimated number of guest vehicles. We regret we cannot stop members of the public spectating from a far!

3. Throughout the winter there will be outdoor equipment operating on the Resort. We have chosen the wedding location carefully to minimize the impact of any noise on your wedding proceedings but silence cannot be guaranteed.

4. The wedding meadow is a totally snowbound area of our resort therefore all guests must be made aware that appropriate foot wear should be worn as well as warm outer clothing.

5. We regret that we are unable to supply any chairs for the ceremony.

6. There are no public facilities located at the wedding location and the nearest washrooms or sources of power are located at our Tube Town Adventure Park—at least a 15 minute walk away.

7. You are free to decorate our wedding meadow to suit your own tastes and wedding themes. We simply ask that all decorations are cleaned up on the day of the wedding.

8. As we are an environmentally-friendly Resort we ask that your guests throw bird seed or real rose petals instead of paper confetti or fabric petals.

9. While we do not provide a Justice of the Peace to preside over your ceremony, you are most welcome to bring your own wedding official. 

 

This list is simply a guide, so please do contact us for further information and to discuss how we can best make your day as special as possible.
