Sitka Farms

Sitka Farms offers the kind of Squamish wedding that feels small in numbers and enormous in scenery.

The venue describes itself simply as rustic, romantic and laid-back, and that is exactly the kind of celebration it currently makes room for.

Sitka is accepting enquiries for elopements and micro-weddings, while full-size weddings are not being taken for 2026 or 2027.

That makes the property especially lovely for couples who have discovered that their perfect guest list is not very long at all.

A smaller wedding changes the way the day feels.

Nobody is watching the vows from the far side of a ballroom. A parent's tears are easy to see. Toasts can happen around one table instead of through a microphone to hundreds of people.

And in Squamish, intimacy does not mean the setting feels small.

Trees, mountain-country scenery and open air can wrap around a handful of favourite people and make the whole day feel expansive.

There is something romantic about choosing that on purpose.

Not a reduced version of a big wedding.

A complete little story of its own.

For couples planning an elopement or micro-wedding and wanting the landscape to carry much of the beauty, Sitka Farms offers exactly the right kind of quiet.

A few people. A lot of nature. And enough room to actually notice every moment while it is happening.
