Best wedding ever!

We absolutely loved our wedding at Spirit Ridge and loved working with Jessica. Our guests were blown away by the venue, the rooms, the activities on site, the adult pool, the kid pool, the food was amazing, and the rooftop patio was beyond stunning!
It was absolutely everything we imagined and more!
We were lucky enough to get perfect weather. However, even without that, I trusted that Jessica would have us in good hands. We had one hiccup in the check-in process to our room, but the venue and Jessica helped sort it out super quickly and smoothly. Nothing but great things to say. Our guests were absolutely blown away. Worth every penny.

A truly unforgettable wedding destination for guests of all ages!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Spirit Ridge Resort exceeded every expectation and was the perfect place for our wedding!

This resort truly has it all. The family pool with the waterslide was a huge hit with the kids, while the adult pool provided a relaxing escape for those looking to unwind. The entire property has such a beautiful resort atmosphere that it felt like we were having a destination wedding, without having to leave home.

We hosted 33 adults, 10 children, and 6 teenagers for our wedding weekend, and there was something for everyone to enjoy. Whether guests wanted to relax by the pool, take in the beautiful scenery, visit the winery, or simply spend time together, everyone had an amazing experience.
What made our stay even more special was the incredible staff. Everyone was so friendly, accommodating, and helpful throughout our stay, especially on our wedding day. Their attention to detail and willingness to help made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable.

The wedding venues were absolutely breathtaking. We held our ceremony on the rooftop terrace overlooking the vineyards and lake, and the views were nothing short of spectacular. It was the perfect backdrop for our special day. Our reception in the ballroom was equally beautiful and created the perfect atmosphere for celebrating with our family and friends.

Choosing Spirit Ridge for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. It gave our guests the feeling of a destination wedding while staying close to home. Our family and friends are still talking about the resort, the stunning views, and what an incredible weekend they had.

Thank you, Spirit Ridge, for helping create memories that we will cherish forever. We could not have imagined a more perfect place to celebrate our wedding.

Highly Recommend!

We had our wedding at Spirit Ridge this summer and are SO happy that we did. It really was the perfect venue. All of our guests had such a great time at the hotel and could not believe how beautiful it was. We had a welcome event at Footprints beach bar on Friday night which was the perfect venue for a laid back, fun, welcome party. The rooftop ceremony was SO gorgeous, and the reception hall was transformed into a truly beautiful space by Okanagan Wedding Girls. The venue staff were amazing, everything went so smoothly and on time. The food is to die for. Adam is the event coordinator and was an absolute DREAM to work with. He made wedding planning (without a wedding planner) SO easy. I really can not recommend this venue enough.

The most incredible wedding venue!

We recently had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding at Spirit Ridge Resort, and I can't recommend it enough! From the stunning views to the exceptional service, our experience was nothing short of magical.

A special shoutout goes to Adam, the event manager at Spirit Ridge. His professionalism truly set the tone for our special day. From our very first meeting, Adam was attentive, understanding our vision and going above and beyond to bring it to life. He was always available for questions and made the planning process smooth and enjoyable.

The quality of service at Spirit Ridge is outstanding. Every detail was meticulously managed, ensuring that everything flowed seamlessly. Adam and his team worked tirelessly to ensure that our day was perfect, from the setup to the execution. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making us and our guests feel welcome and valued.

Communication with Adam was prompt and clear. He was always quick to respond to emails and messages, which eased our minds during the planning process. His expertise and guidance made us feel confident that everything would go off without a hitch.

Overall, our wedding at Spirit Ridge Resort exceeded our expectations, and we have Adam to thank for that. If you're considering this venue for your wedding, rest assured that you’re in the best hands. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Adam is the best!

Adam is professional, timely, genuine, and kind. We are so grateful for him. Our wedding day went so smoothly and that's largely due to Adam and his help on the day of. Not only that, but in the months leading up to our wedding, Adam was there every step of the way. He responded quick to e-mails, hopped on the phone when we needed clarification, and when there were last minute changes, he was quick to re-adjust without any hesitation. Having Adam to help with the wedding was truly a dream. Thank you so much Adam!

Momentous Memories!

From PLANNING to DURING and POST our 3-Day Wedding Events at Spirit Ridge Resort, no detail was overlooked, and every step along the way we were made perfectly kept on a "Need to know basis." The team at Spirit Ridge, lead by Manager + Coordinator Adam Bailey, our main point of contact, ensured we were taken care of and THEN SOME! With close to 300 guests in attendance, and well over 200 staying at the property during our wedding events, this was no small feat. Over this weekend we had a cocktail reception, dinners, brunch, performances, with of course some changes and/ or obstacles along the way that Adam and the team quickly resolved without us even knowing to ensure a smooth and beautiful process that would ensure our wedding weekend was nothing short of spectacular! Again, keeping us informed on items we needed to know, and which ones we didn't. We would have this weekend at Spirit Ridge with our friends and family over and over and over again, and the memories created will last us all a lifetime. The Resort perfectly suited and situated not only appealed to all of our guests, but the recent renovations ensured an even more beautiful and comfortable stay, endless activities for the range of sizes and ages of our guests, and the food and beverages wowed. Thank you again Adam and the Spirit Ridge Team, we're forever indebted and will always look to all of you as part of our family now! Thank you from Aleem + Victor. (And the AVK Wedding Team)

Wedding day dreams came true at Spirit Ridge

Thanks to Adam and the magic of Spirit Ridge, our wedding day expectations were exceeded. While we wanted a small and intimate gathering, we also wanted it to be a dream come true -- and that's exactly what we got. The warm weather on the rooftop partnered with the stunning backdrop of Osoyoos Lake was the dream setting for our I dos. The sacred lands shared witness to our vows, and my late father's spirit paid a visit as two eagles soared above us. So, when I say a rooftop wedding at Spirit Ridge is magical, I mean it. After the rooftop ceremony, guests enjoyed the celebratory champagne and canapés, and after that, the Spirit Room was the ideal location for the reception. In full disclosure, I TOTALLY forgot to bring my decorations into the Spirit Room (bride brain) while I was getting my hair and makeup done. But it was no problem. I sent a quick text to Adam and he gathered all the things and set it all up (not to mention, it looked fabulous). In short, it was a dream come true and we are so grateful to Adam and the entire staff of Spirit Ridge for helping make our wedding day so perfect.

Every detail covered

The team at Spirit Ridge went above and beyond for our wedding. Just when I thought I had taken care of every small detail they had thought two steps ahead and were ready, happy to help. The day was absolutely perfect and a huge part of it running smoothly was due to the Spirit Ridge team. Throughout the whole day I was constantly greeted with huge smiles and congratulations from all the staff. Thank you all so much!
