Love has reached new heights
Sea to Sky Gondola was the wedding venue of our dreams. From planning to the big day, everything was absolutely perfect. After finding the venue online in our search for an adventurous or ski-focused location, it almost seemed too good to be true; the location/facilities were stunning, the price was affordable, and many of the rules were much more relaxed compared to the ski resorts we were looking at.
We visited a little over a year before our ideal wedding date to learn more about what Sea to Sky has to offer and pretty quickly knew that this was the one. Michelle gave us an incredible tour and was able to answer every question that we had. She also pointed out several things that we didn’t think of such as the bridal suite and some of the unique aspects of the venue (eg. bridge closures). The gondola ride up was complimentary and we were allowed to stay and continue enjoying it at the end of the tour which let us continue to explore and see if this was the right place for us. Turns out, it absolutely was and we soon booked our wedding date.
Booking the date and understanding the contract on their portal was really easy even though we were international and wouldn’t be able to do too much in person. Everyone we spoke to on the portal over the next several months (Renee, Sarah) were all incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful. We were able to come back to the dinner menu tasting which, while not having every option available to try, had the most unique things which helped us pick things that we otherwise would not have chosen. For the menu items we weren’t able to try, at our request the staff was so kind to provide us with photos of the other dishes. Additionally, they were happy to accommodate special requests like allowing us to have the macaroons instead of the included desert option. We were SO thrilled about that!
The day of the wedding, Sea to Sky was well prepared and executed their role flawlessly. The food was absolutely incredible and the wait staff was fast and professional. The bar staff was also amazing and even with our party doing their best to consume as much as possible, they were able to keep up with the orders! One minor bummer was that the outside bar area was closed, so everyone had to funnel in on the inside to order another round – I think this is normally open, but just not for our event. Finally, even though our party was rowdy, the security and staff at the venue didn’t mind and let us continue to have a blast.
A few days after the wedding, the venue continued to impress us with how easy and transparent it was to finalize the remaining payments; something we really needed to be easy having just gotten married! If you’re looking for the most amazing views and venue in the world, chill and communicative staff, and flexibility to tailor the party the way you want, S2SG is the place to go!!

Canadian Destination Wedding!
Our wedding was gorgeous and perfect, it was everything we could have dreamed of. There were a few hiccups but they were managed well by the staff and we were very pleased. If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely choose Sea to Sky again.

The most amazing view you will ever see
When we first got engaged, I wanted a destination wedding and my husband found sea to sky and knew we had to have it. Took me a bit of convincing but once we did our walk through... OMG I am soo glad we picked this place.
They were easy to work with ( all communication was done through their portal so everyone involved could see all). I especially liked that they took all dietary & allergy restrictions so very seriously ( we had a few serious life threating allergies and the kitchen took care of them). They food was next level that we ended up increasing our food budget to reflect just how amazing the food was.
This venue is not a cheap place by all means but I believe you get what you pay for and the views alone paid for themselves. We kept getting compliments from all of our guests just how amazing the venue was. The staff went above and beyond and were just a pleasure to work with.
I cannot recommend this venue enough

Astonishing!
Beyond the absolutely beautiful venue and fantastic staff, one action stood out.
Jude was leading the way for us. She provided great communication in the lead up to the wedding, but on the day of she (and the whole team) exceeded our expectation.
With an unexpected delay to the Ceremony, Jude rallied her team, created flexibility in the schedule and created the most memorial event of our lives!
