Whistler Wedding Venues: My Favourite Places for a Wedding
Whistler Wedding Venues That Truly Mean Something
Whistler isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a feeling. And the right wedding venue here doesn’t just look good in photos; it helps you slow down, stay present, and actually feel your day. I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings across these mountains, forests, lodges, and hidden corners. Each Whistler wedding venue brings its own kind of magic: alpine views, intimate forest clearings, candlelit barns, modern museums, or mountaintop lodges where the stars seem closer. Whether you’re planning a celebration with 150 guests or a quiet ceremony at 6,000 feet, this guide is here to help you find the venue that fits you—emotionally and practically. Let’s make sure your wedding starts in the right place.
Here are some of my favourite Whistler wedding venues, with honest thoughts from behind the lens to help you find the perfect backdrop for your celebration.

Canadian Wilderness Adventures
For rustic barn weddings with true mountain adventure vibes, Canadian Wilderness Adventures is unbeatable. Their red timber barn glows under string lights, the nearby courtyard is perfect for cocktails, and your guests can dance late into the night with no curfew. Add axe throwing, archery, or a Jeep ride to make it your own.

Grand, iconic, and luxurious. From the castle-like architecture to the gathering energy of the lobby, Fairmont Chateau Whistler feels like a Hollywood hotel scene brought to life.

Four Seasons Resort Whistler
Understated luxury and ultimate privacy. The Four Seasons is where you go to be pampered. The suites are massive – the best place in Whistler for a wedding party to get ready. Their ballroom is stylish without needing heavy décor, and their food and service are unmatched. It’s no wonder celebrities choose this as their Whistler home base.

Nita Lake Lodge
This place feels like a true mountain getaway. Tucked beside Nita Lake, with misty mornings and calm water views, it’s Whistler’s most photogenic venue. The barn-style porte-cochère ceremony spot, lakeside patio cocktail hour, and cozy rooms make it feel intimate and warm. Tara and I even book staycations here – it’s that special.

Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre (SLCC)
The SLCC is one of Whistler’s most unique and meaningful venues. Combining Indigenous art, history, and incredible architecture, it offers stunning ceremony and reception spaces. From the glass-walled Great Hall to the round Istken Hall that feels deeply spiritual and communal – each space tells a story.

Whistler Blackcomb
If you want a wedding that feels like standing on top of the world, this is it. Ride a gondola to the alpine, say your vows surrounded by jagged peaks and glaciers, and watch the sunset before dancing under disco balls in a transformed ski lodge. Your guests will never forget the serenity of the gondola ride back down, blankets over their shoulders, stargazing as Whistler twinkles below.
