About

On WeddingWire since 2016

Last update: April 2025

Time goes by slowly at the Fraser River Lodge. This pristine venue is located near Harrison, British Columbia at the foothills of the spectacular Cascade Mountains. The lodge is an idyllic venue for weddings of all sizes, both indoor and outdoor. A more private venue is hard to find as you will have 18 lush acres to take full advantage of. This exclusive venue can be yours on the big day!

Facilities and capacity

The indoor hall can accommodate up to 200 wedding guests, while the Lounge seats 35 people for dinner. For ceremonies, the deck can accommodate 50 guests, the field allows for 200 guests, and the outdoor Marquee Tent is also offered as a rainy day option with a capacity of up to 200 people. The Lodge also offers two onsite dressing rooms for the couple to prepare privately, and their Honeymoon Suite is included in all standard Wedding Packages.

Services offered

Their Wedding Coordinators are onsite for nearly the entire day of the wedding, functioning as a liaison between you, your vendors, your family, and the staff. They ensure your guests know where to go upon arrival, coordinate about 95% of your setup (excluding things like string lights or arbors), brief your commissioner on timeline changes, cue the wedding party down the aisle, educate your MC on the timeline, and house policies, communicate with your photographers about timeline, lighting, and room setup, technology problem solving (slideshows, sound system, ceremony music), quality checking meals, serving the Bride at the buffet, providing customer service to the guests (highchairs, allergies, directions), etc. Prior to the Big Day, they work to communicate and meet with you to sort out all the details, a timeline of the day, etc., and attend all on-site rehearsals. Two fully licensed bars are available with no additional bartending fees. On-site hair and make-up are available for an additional cost.

Cuisine

We are proud to introduce our new Executive Chef, Justin Paakkunainen! While boasting an impressive 20 plus years in the kitchen, our Chef brings a consistently refreshing new menu to our guests. Driven by an unwavering passion for the art of cooking, and a constant desire to grow in his craft, Chef Justin is always searching for new ways to breach the barriers of our guest's expectations for pallet pleasing, illustrious meals. We take particular pride in supporting local farmers, and businesses by sourcing our foods locally, or as we like to say "farm-to-table." We also go to great lengths to purchase our seafood locally, ensuring that we provide the highest quality and freshness.

Chef Justin Paakkunainen offers two seasonal buffet menus and one year-round buffet menu to choose between and has been known to be very accommodating regarding dietary restrictions, and menu alterations. Additional platters, appetizers, and late-night snacks are optional add-ons.

Hire the hack angels // a certified cryptocurrency recovery expert

HIRE THE HACK ANGELS // A CERTIFIED CRYPTOCURRENCY RECOVERY EXPERT

A few months ago, I found myself in a precarious situation when I fell victim to a deceptive trading platform. I lost £730,000 to a fraudulent cryptocurrency investment broker. I was scammed multiple times by individuals who promised to recover my lost funds but only added to my distress. I was devastated. I reached a point where I was unsure if there was any hope left. It was then that I confided in a close friend who noticed my struggle and offered to help. He introduced me to a crypto recovery group known as THE HACK ANGELS RECOVERY EXPERT. The expert team worked tirelessly to trace and retrieve my funds, they focused on helping individuals and businesses recover their lost or stolen assets. The team's expertise in utilizing cutting-edge technology and industry knowledge to track and locate stolen assets, if you are a victim and need your funds returned, use any of the details below:

You Can't Beat This View + Venue

Our team has had the pleasure to DJ many weddings at this wonderful scenic venue. The ceremony space is second to none. I would highly recommend getting married here.

Amazing Wedding Venue in the Fraser Valley

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed having our wedding at Fraser River Lodge. Although it can be pricey, you really get what you pay for. They deliver on everything that is in your chosen wedding package and they are very responsive, helpful, and attentive throughout the entire process.

The venue itself is gorgeous with a scenic mountain backdrop that hard to find elsewhere. The amenities were luxurious with beautiful lodge rooms and a bridal suite and games room for your wedding party. The food was outstanding and our guests could not stop raving about it. We also appreciated the bar service and selection of drinks. The staff was incredibly helpful on the day of the wedding, supporting us with the schedule of events, AV needs, and decor set-up support, along with ensuring the food and drink service went smoothly.

Overall, we had an amazing experience at this venue. However, we felt the check-in times for on-site accommodations were too late. This left our guests feeling rushed to get ready before the ceremony and with less time to spend in the bridal room and games room with us. There was also confusing communication around the payment process for on-site rooms.

We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a picture-perfect wedding with outdoor and indoor capabilities. Their professionalism and customer service took a lot of stress out of our wedding planning, leaving us to simply focus on the personalized details and crafting moments important to us.

A Perfect Venue for Our Special Day

We got married at Fraser River Lodge, and I knew right away it was the right venue for us. It was everything we hoped for and more. The setting was beautiful, the staff were attentive and professional, and they took care of every detail so we could relax and enjoy the day. The venue made our wedding truly memorable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate.

Perfect venue , stunning location

We had my daughter’s wedding here April 2025 and it was absolutely the most beautiful perfect day from start to finish. The staff is amazing and they are very accommodating and helpful. We loved staying at the bison suites for the rehearsal dinner with the bison roaming the fields . Loved the getting room too so nice .. The ceremony with the mountain backdrop was breathtaking and the cocktail hour so fun :). all our guests were blown away and told us this was the best wedding they have been too.
Food is amazing too ! We loved every minute of it and would highly recommend to anyone .

Fraser River Lodge isn't just a venue—it's an experience.

As the owner of Pardy DJ Services and a regular vendor at Fraser River Lodge, I have to say, this place is something special. Tucked away on a gorgeous 18-acre property with jaw-dropping views of Mount Cheam and the Fraser River, it's the perfect spot for weddings and events.

Working with the team at Fraser River Lodge is always a breeze. They're super organized and really pay attention to the little details, which makes things so much easier. The lodge itself has this amazing rustic charm with all the modern comforts you could want—it's just a fantastic setting for any celebration.

And the food? Wow. The chefs here really know their stuff. They whip up delicious meals using fresh, local ingredients, and guests always leave raving about it.

From a DJ's point of view, the setup is spot on. The acoustics are great, and the dance floor is always packed. It's awesome to see everyone having such a blast in such a beautiful place.

If you're looking for a special place to host an event, I can't recommend it enough. I'm excited to keep working with them and creating more unforgettable memories.

Fraser River Lodge isn't just a venue—it's an experience.

Nice views, terrible communication

While the view and photos for my wedding was amazing, the staff and communication was a nightmare. They would go back on their word and change "rules" after the down deposit was paid. They stated that taper candles are not permitted but in our emails I have proof with a photo asking for permission if they were suitable as long as flame was enclosed in which they said yes to. Come to actual day they said they are not permitted, completely disregarding their written approval and charged me for "damaged linens" When all of this could have been prevented had they actually said no to the candles in the first place. We asked multiple times for photo proof of said damage and the would not send photos. We asked to keep the linens so we can resell them ourselves. My aunt got the linens from the venue and they are still white. I wish we could have had the promised photo proof before they took money out of our account. Prior to booking I was promised I could book a site viewing come spring as we booked venue date in mid winter and we are from out of town and couldn't drive due to roads. Come spring time I contact them to book a site visit in which they responded they don't do site visits. I screenshotted their previous email saying they would and then they allowed my mom to view as they couldn't make a date work for me. During our finalized meeting a month prior to the wedding they told me we could bring in our own late night snack without an additional fee. Night of the wedding they pull my husband aside interrupting him mid conversation that he was having with a guest to say we will be getting charged a $200 fee for supplying a late night snack. Luckily the next day we disputed that charge with them. Each staff member would tell us something different and were not at all on the same page. Which was extremely frustrating. There were many tears shed during this stressful time due to their lack of communication and changing their minds on policies. Even day of, staff weren't approachable. I had other vendors attend my wedding that day as I hired them for services and they ALL had clients with the same issues we had. We trusted the reviews on google, but unfortunately they delete the poor ones. Would never recommend this venue purely due to staff and management. I have formerly worked in the wedding industry for 10 years and have never seen a bride be treated this poorly. I just want awareness to be shared so brides can go in knowing what to expect. Keep all emails and have everything agreed upon in writing. They also up charged me an extra $10 per person 5 months prior to wedding. In which they do to every bride. Give them a lower rate, pay deposits and then up the food fees. I know Fraser River Lodge and their management won't do anything about this, I just hope they can properly train all mangers and staff to know ALL the same information when speaking to clients so people don't get told one thing and then later find out that isn't the case and get charged with hidden fees down the road.

Mountain Wedding of our Dreams

The mountain wedding of our dreams!!!
I could write an essay on how amazing our day was.
1) The service was incredible. The staff were SO SO accommodating ensuring that everything went smoothly during the day.
2) The landscape and views of the lodge are 12/10 stars. The mountain view was unforgettable and the best way to give our guests the optimal BC experience. I love how the lodge feels elevated but also a cozy/rustic elegance.
3) The accommodations on site were incredible. It was such a great perk that roughly ~40 guests could sleep at the venue the night of.
4) The planning and assistance beforehand was great. The communication from the FRVL Team was top knotch and every random question was responded to in speedy timing.
5) THE FOOD AND DRINKS!!! The appetizers were amazing and the cocktails were also delicious.
We can't thank this team enough for making every one of our wedding dreams come true. If you are debating getting married here - DO IT!

The Fraser River Lodge brought our wedding plan to life!

Apart from having the perfect backdrop for a wedding, Fraser River Lodge separates themselves from other venues through their accommodations, ceremony, and reception options. Their staff were supportive from the day we reached out to the minute we left the property on the day after our wedding.

Incredible Venue

The lodge was amazing and so professional with our wedding day. They took care of so many details! Having their help with the tables, chairs, linens, food and day of coordination of events was invaluable and affordable. We were able to work with them and they were flexible with changing our schedule right up to the day of. We were delayed arriving due to a traffic accident and they were so accomadating. The food was incredible - rave reviews from all our guests. The rooms there are beautiful and there was nothing but positive things said by our guests about the view, rooms and food. I would 100% recommend the lodge.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
