Hotel Eldorado at Eldorado Resort

Some wedding venues sit beside the water.

Hotel Eldorado feels as though it belongs to it.

Set on the shores of Okanagan Lake in Kelowna, this historic lakeside hotel has been welcoming guests since 1926. A century later, couples can still gather here for celebrations surrounded by water, mountains and the relaxed beauty of the Okanagan.

There is something especially lovely about a wedding where the scenery stays with you throughout the day.

The lake is there in the morning while everyone gets ready.

It waits beyond the ceremony.

And later, when guests have begun cocktails and the nervousness has finally disappeared, the newlyweds can slip toward the waterfront for a few quiet photographs together.

Hotel Eldorado is part of the wider Eldorado Resort, bringing together waterfront event spaces, accommodation, dining and the marina in one destination. Guests can stay nearby rather than disappearing at the end of the evening, allowing the wedding to become part of an entire Okanagan weekend.

Then comes sunset.

The lake changes colour. Dinner is underway. Glasses are raised and the celebration inside grows louder while everything outside seems to become calmer.

For couples who imagine their wedding with water nearby and the people they love staying long enough to truly enjoy it, Hotel Eldorado offers something wonderfully timeless.

A historic hotel.

An Okanagan sunset.

And one more love story added to a place that has been collecting them for a hundred years.
