Canyon Wedding

Our wedding at Kumsheen was perfect. The venue and staff were absolutely amazing and accommodating in every way. Besides a bouquet you don’t need to spend a dime on florals as the canyon mountains behind the archway are absolutely breathtaking and provide all of you need. I highly recommend using Kumsheen as your wedding venue. Especially if you’re looking for a unique boho desert theme. They have lots on the grounds to do and the accommodations are perfect for an overnight stay to assure your guests are comfortable. The food is great and they are very flexible for dietary restrictions. The alcohol is all very fairly priced making it affordable to have an open or toonie bar. They have a pool and hot tub as well. Getting to go rafting the day after the wedding was a bonus as well!

My now-husband and I booked Kumsheen for our wedding in May. We booked the whole resort for the weekend, with guests rafting on Sat and the ceremony/dinner/dancing that evening. It was amazing. The staff were friendly and warm, and our wedding coordinator in particular helped the whole weekend proceed smoothly. We didn't have to worry about anything, and could just enjoy the weekend. The staff was so accommodating regarding our timeline, ceremony site, the inclusion of our dogs in the ceremony, requests for décor and the dining experience; they even built a beautiful wooden archway for the ceremony. The food was amazing for all 5 meals we commissioned the chef for. We also enjoyed having the pool on-site so families with small children had a fun activity whilst other guests were rafting. Overall, for couples looking for a different, more outdoorsy wedding experience we would strongly recommend Kumsheen!


We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
