Canada’s most beautiful wedding destinations

As one of the most diverse and beautiful countries in the world, it’s not surprising that Canada is home to a bounty of beautiful and unique wedding destinations. From coast-to-coast, these five northern venues are some of the most interesting in the country. Believe us, your guests won’t be disappointed.

With towering snowy mountain tops and a turquoise, glacier-fed lake in the background, it’s no wonder that the Fairmont Château in Lake Louise, Alberta is one of the most sought-after wedding destinations in Canada. A two-hour drive from the closest international airport, Lake Louise is home to one of Canada’s longest ski seasons and the Château itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Known as the “Diamond in the Wilderness“, the Fairmont Château in Lake Louise not only offers breathtaking views and photo-ops but world-renowned activities for guests braving a long-haul flight for your big day.

Sitting on an island off an island, the Fogo Island Inn is truly a one-of-a-kind venue for a northern wedding. At the edge of the North Atlantic, the 29-room inn has dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the wild, unruly ocean. Located in Joe Batt’s Arm, Newfoundland, the venue has capacity for 70 guests and depending on your wedding date, your near-and-dear will be dazzled by the inn’s offerings, including whale watching, stargazing, and boat tours off the coast.

Toronto’s Distillery District is a historical neighborhood in the heart of Canada’s busiest city. It was designated as a World Heritage Site in 1988 and at one time was the world’s largest distillery. Today it’s a pedestrian-only zone and minutes away from Toronto’s most famous landmarks, including the CN Tower and the Toronto Waterfront. Weddings can be held in a number of historic venues throughout the District, including the Arta Gallery and The Fermenting Cellar, a unique space dating back to 1861.

If you’re already sweating picturing a tropical destination wedding, Québec’s historic Hôtel de Glace could be your ideal icy venue. Made entirely of snow and ice, the frozen venue does have its decided limitations; if you were hoping for a summer wedding, the hotel is only open from January until March. But if you and your guests aren’t afraid of a little chill (and have seen Frozen a time or two) the Hôtel de Glace will be a once in a lifetime experience for everyone involved.

Five hundred meters from the base of Whistler Mountain, the Nita Lake Lodge is minutes away from Whistler Villiage and an idyllic venue for couples wanting a nature-filled day. Depending on the time of year, the venue can be transformed from a winter wonderland to a mid-summer log cabin. A stunning location for those whose Pinterest boards are brimming with HBC blankets, ski destinations, and wildlife photography.
