For couples who have been searching for an outdoor wedding venue with a stunning view, enchanting setting and an ample amount of space, Squamish has a number of offerings. The pandemic has now loomed over us for over a year and many couples have had to postpone their weddings, the west coast is full of expats with families that are dotted all over the globe. With the halting of air travel last summer many couples have had to pivot and find an alternative way to celebrate, but there are those who still dream of celebrating with all their nearest and dearest by their sides.
Rest assured, nothing of what you are dreaming of needs to be compromised, the following venues offer everything and more for that dream outdoor wedding, surrounded by outstanding natural beauty!

Sunwolf
“Rustic Chic, Stunning Setting, Uniquely yours”
This venue is SPECIAL, and being family owned and run has a special place in our hearts. Located at the confluence of the Cheakamus and Cheekye rivers, the venue feels secluded, wild, rustically charming and yet it is only an hour from Vancouver.
Wedding couples get full access of the property when they book, so you can truly make it yours and create a magical wedding weekend to share with family and friends.
Sunwolf offers riverside cabins for guests. Their "Fisherman's Cabin", cute and rustic, is an ideal location for the bridal party to use on the morning of the wedding and the "Loggers Shack" a cabin which captures the west coast vibe, a perfect retreat for the bride and groom. In addition to the cabins there is sufficient camping space, enough to accommodate up to 30 of our canvas bell tents.
Glamping and camping guests gain access to the lovely, well - equipped washroom and shower facilities located right next to the designated camping area.
Bring together the ones you love for an unforgettable wedding.

Sitka Farms
"Rustic-Romantic-Laid back"
A venue which encapsulates the Sea to Sky vibe and what it means to live here, with its charming barn, mossy forest floor and scenic mountain views.
The beautiful farm, their barn and number of kids (don't worry we're talking about goats) are nestled between the Tantalus and Cloudburst mountain ranges.
In their words "a whole lotta love has been put into this land", owners Chanel & Kenny have done an unbelievable job of restoring and converting the original barn, (built with trees from the pastures on the property), into an idyllic, rustic and charming wedding venue. There is an special ambience that you feel as soon as you set foot on the property.
Chanel, owner of Sitka Farms says;
"Before we actually bought the farm we knew we wanted property and being mountain people like we are, Squamish was perfect. Long story short after a subtle house hunt, we ended up in the Squamish Valley starting up Sitka Farms. We are a rustic farm venue in the heart of the Sea to Sky mountains and are super stoked to be sharing our slice of paradise with you. From waterfalls to mountains, chickens to goats, or whether you want to camp or glamp we offer something for all. Hopefully we will be able to meet some more faces soon and share our mini paradise with you all!"
