Whistler Wedding Venues Guide | Tara Lilly Photography
A comprehensive list of the best Whistler Wedding venues.
Whistler, BC is home to the largest ski resort in North America, dozens of world-class hotels and hundreds of amazing restaurants. Add in hundreds of kilometres of hiking and mountain bike trails and five lakes within the city limits, there are activities to suit every visitor and resident in every season. It’s no surprise really that there is an abundance of beautiful Whistler wedding venues.
We have been lucky enough to attend and photograph weddings in all of the wedding venues in Whistler. Here is a guide to our favourite Whistler wedding venues, including a few notes and photos of each. If you have any more questions, we would be happy to provide as much information as we can about the Whistler wedding venues.
