The Hitching Post

The Hitching Post feels like finding a hidden wedding clearing just beyond Lloydminster.

Nestled among poplars and willows beside a quiet pond, the property was created specifically for outdoor celebrations. Couples can exchange vows near the water, with a fountain and wooden arch forming the heart of the ceremony before everyone moves only steps away into the reception.

A forty-by-sixty-foot clear-span tent gives dinner and dancing a sheltered home without losing the feeling of being outside. Edison bulb lighting warms the space as evening arrives, while fans and heaters help make Alberta's changing temperatures a little easier to manage.

The venue includes approximately 160 chairs and a substantial collection of tables, along with a barnwood bar, catering area and fire pit. Couples also have the freedom to choose their own caterers and bartenders, making it easier to shape the food and celebration around their own families and traditions.

Parking for around seventy vehicles keeps the rural setting practical for guests coming from Lloydminster and the surrounding area.

For couples who picture pond-side vows, an open-air country celebration and an evening beneath warm lights instead of ballroom chandeliers, The Hitching Post offers something relaxed, romantic and entirely its own.
