Aurora Valley Venue

Aurora Valley Venue feels as though someone imagined a Northern British Columbia wedding first, then built the place around it. Just outside Fort St. John in Taylor, this family-run flower farm brings together cultivated flower fields, sweeping northern skies and an elegant sailcloth marquee, creating a setting that feels somewhere between a garden wedding and a celebration tucked away in the countryside.

Only a limited number of couples are welcomed each year, allowing the property to become the setting for the entire wedding day. The sailcloth marquee is joined by a custom dance floor, solid-wood tables, arch-back chairs, ceremony benches, glassware, a custom bar and outdoor lighting. Behind the scenes, there is a spacious getting-ready loft filled with soft natural light, mirrors and seating, along with a prep kitchen, walk-in cooler and washrooms.

But some of the loveliest parts of Aurora Valley happen beyond the marquee. Couples can choose the place on the property that feels right for their ceremony, whether that means being surrounded by flowers, open countryside or that enormous northern sky. Afterwards, guests can wander toward the reception while the newlyweds disappear into the flower fields, landscaped courtyard and outdoor spaces for photographs without ever having to leave the property.

There is a wonderful ease to having every part of the day in one place. The morning begins upstairs with the people who know you best. Somewhere outside, chairs are waiting and flowers are moving gently in the breeze. Then comes the walk down the aisle, dinner beneath the marquee and the moment when the tables begin to empty because everyone has found their way to the dance floor.

And when the northern evening finally settles over the flower farm, the outdoor lights begin to glow. The fields soften into the background, music carries out from beneath the marquee and Aurora Valley becomes exactly what it was created to be: the place where one couple’s wedding story gets to unfold from beginning to end.
