Landry Lake Ranch

Landry Lake Ranch gives an Alberta wedding the feeling of having an entire lakeside farm to yourselves for the weekend.

Near Bonnyville, the family-run rustic venue offers three-day wedding rentals that include Friday setup and rehearsal, the Saturday celebration and time on Sunday to gather everything together again.

That means the wedding does not have to arrive in a rush.

There is time.

And there is plenty of landscape to fill it.

Couples can choose among several ceremony settings, including lake views, a pond and bridge, the dock, the east side of the barn or the barn loft itself.

The barn loft accommodates up to 80 guests on each level, while larger tented celebrations can use the surrounding grounds.

Then the ranch becomes part of the experience.

The yard, barn, lake and trails are included.

Guests can gather around fire pits.

The couple can disappear toward the dock for photographs.

And the wedding booking includes a Saturday-night stay in the lakeside cabin.

Then evening comes.

The string lights glow in the barn.

Dinner becomes speeches.

And a working Alberta farm becomes the place where one family story is just beginning.

For couples who want rustic without pretending, Landry Lake Ranch offers the real thing.

Barn.

Lake.

Trails.

And an entire weekend to make them yours.
