Where will your wedding ceremony take place?!

Yes I have! Out towards tumblr ridge bc there is a hall that I will be getting married at out side it’s the most beautiful place around where I am 🥰

View quoted message Oh how beautiful!!! Banff is amazing!! My fiance and are there all the time! We're actually going to be there in march for a snowboarding weekend! And staying at Tunnel moutain resort! The reseviour is beautiful up there. You'll have a beautiful day ❤
The buffalo mountain lodge is amazing! Stayed there a few times myself!

Our original plan was to get married in the town that we live in now but when we canceled it we decided that Banff, AB would be a much better idea! It's been kinda stressful planning it from a different province but its still been so fun!!

We'll be getting married at the tunnel mountain reservoir & then having the reception at the buffalo mountain lodge! It makes it so easy because they are literally across the street from each other!

View quoted message Oh I definitely will be!! Usually first week of August out there it's around 32-40!

View quoted message Yes! Cross very hard. I’ll cross mine for you too! Nice weather makes your think less. And enjoy more. Haha

View quoted message I'm crossing my fingers for very nice weather no rain and no forest fires!

Oh my gosh!!! I love your venue!!

Your venues are all so beautiful! Outdoors weddings are a vibe 🤩🤩🤩.


We're getting married at Plaza Rive-Sud.

Cocktail hour will be at the terrace

The reception hall
I hope everything will turn out ok with these COVID-19 restrictions. Although our venues did wedding ceremonies and receptions outdoors for accommodations.

I looked it up and it's a beautiful place Hey you know what they say when it rains on your wedding day!

We tied the knot at a beautiful place called Cumberland Belle. It didn’t turn out the way we want it with an outside ceremony since it rained that day. But it was so beautiful still.


Can’t seem to share photos on here

It really is!!! Kelowna is my second home and I'm out there every summer and it's my top wineries to visit!

That sounds beautiful!! How exciting!!

That winery is beautiful! My fiancé and I went there this past summer.


We are getting married in front of an old church, with the reception being in a half open barn on their property and the dancing in the old church

View quoted message Haha thank you!! 🥰 I think it’s really pretty too, Cochrane is so underrated!
I will definitely have to check that out thanks! 😊

View quoted message Oh how wonderful!!! That's so exciting!! I can't wait to see pictures ❤❤

View quoted message Thank you so much, I think so too! And I even lucked out, my decor vendor has worked this location before and her vision for my day is going to be beautiful!

View quoted message This place is beautiful you're going to have a great day I can tell just from this pictures ❤

Our ceremony and reception will be at the same place. I feel in love with this venue when I saw it on here. We're having it at Wild Rose Brewery. Its in an old industrial airplane hanger and has a very open concept feel. So much was included (staff, tables, linens) and for a steal of a deal!

Oh Alyx, this place is beautiful (I may be bias because I live there haha) you'll have such great views for photos!!! If you are willing to go off property for photos, there is a cute park not far called Riverfront park that has a gorgeous trail that would be great for some photo ops!!

View quoted message

Oh my gosh!! I think that is super cute!!

We totally just changed where we will have the ceremony. We are going to a little chapel 🥰

It looks beautiful either way even if you had your ceremony inside! That space

We were originally planning for a winter wedding and like Rayanne, wanted all our spaces in one location so that there's no driving between venues in case of bad weather. We picked our venue because we got exclusive use of the space, which included four different event rooms. This would've been the room where our ceremony would be held if we kept our winter date. It wasn't overly bare bones that we would've had to spend a ton to outfit but still flexible enough that we could jazz it up however we wanted.

The pandemic forced us to pivot to an outdoor ceremony in the early fall and I couldn't be happier. The natural light and lush green is the highlight of the space. An overhead covering provided shade in the event it was super sunny and hot. They also had power lines available so we didn't need generators for mics and speakers. And because of the natural flora in the space, we didn't need to spend as much on decor. I couldn't ask for a better spot.

View quoted message I feel like this summer will finally happen!!
You have no idea!! I can't wait to wear my dress. In about 2 weeks Its going to be 3 years since I said yes to the dress!!!!

I feel like with your date you will definitely be in the clear!!!
I bet your just so ready to get married and have your day!! 🤍🤍 hoping and praying everything works out for you guys 🥰

Thank you!!! These pictures don't do justice! It's absolutely beautiful in the summer!

The seating for outside they are just a bit more spread out from what I've been told.

I'm just crossing my fingers that this summer things will work out for the best for all of us summer brides

Our ceremony will be at the same place as our reception but down the hall. Our ceremony space was chosen for convenience rather than looks. Since we are getting married in winter we wanted as little driving as possible for eveyone. We could have used the same space as our reception but there would have been a two hour turn over for them to get ready and we didn't want our guests to be wondering around looking for something to do during that time. Plus we will be setting up the reception space the night before.

Love those photos wow!! I like the elegance of the reception space very pretty
Awe how special!!! 🤍🤍 I’ve never heard of your venue but I’ve been to the okanagan and it’s so nice there!

Yeah that’s a good way to do it I think! We wanted our venue to have both ceremony and reception spaces when we were looking for places. That’s great your venue has a back up plan too!! But yeah you will probably have pretty good weather then!! 😊
What does your venue do with Covid restrictions and the seating outside ? I haven’t asked my venue about this yet but I’m wondering if there are restrictions if they have to be seated one or two chairs apart from one another? Lol
Yeah I’m sorry… I remember you saying that to me a couple months ago that’s so tough!! It kinda had me thinking I might as well go ahead with things no matter what! I love planning it’s been so much fun but idk if I want to wait another year haha , we may loose out on some things but I’m sure we will make the most of what the day will be! 🤍

Thank you!!!! I've had my eye on this winery since I was little We're also having our reception here as well so it's really a two in one deal!

That's so crazy! My fiance and I live in Alberta and getting married in BC hahaha

I've heard of the Cochrane Ranchhouse! It's beautiful! That's awesome that you have a backup place if the weather isn't the greatest! The winery has a pyramid on site so if the weather isn't great, we're able to get married inside! But usually the beginning of August is the hottest times of the year in the Okanagan.

I totally get it! It's not easy having to postpone. We've postponed twice and hoping we don't have to do it again!

This is our reception area

Ahhhh love the scenery of your beautiful venue!! So stunning 😍


My fiancé and I live in BC but we decided to have our wedding in Alberta because our whole family live there. We decided on the Cochrane Ranchehouse after my grandma kept sending me a link to this venue but I just wasn’t sure it was my vibe! We took a tour and we fell in love! I started to tear up when I stood in the spot that I would say I do! 🥺🤍
We are getting married September 30th 2022 (if Covid allows it lol) I don’t want to postpone so if any restrictions happen we will just go with what comes!
Our venue has a ceremony space outside and the reception and cocktails inside! They also have a separate back up ceremony space inside if the weather isn’t good.
Since I can’t send pictures on here.. I’ll put a link!
