Mt Seymour Resort

Some couples first met on the slopes. Others simply fell in love with the trees, the mountain air and the views. Either way, Mt Seymour gives them a place to say I do on the North Shore.

Mt Seymour sits on Mount Seymour Road in North Vancouver, blending a nature escape with easy access from the city.

For the smallest weddings, couples can exchange vows outdoors among the trees with up to 30 guests. The ceremony is arranged entirely by the couple, and the team asks to be contacted in advance to discuss plans and BC Parks requirements.

Larger celebrations can move indoors. Enquist Lodge combines Harold's Cafe and The Loft for up to about 145 guests, while each space on its own holds 65 and 80 people. The Yurt welcomes up to 50, Rock Chute Kitchen and Bar up to 85, and Grillworks, the largest space, up to 200.

This is a do-it-yourself venue. Rentals include the tables and chairs already in each room, while catering, decor, additional furniture, setup and teardown are arranged by the couple. That leaves couples free to arrange their own caterer and shape the day around their own style.

Wedding rentals typically include access the day before, the day of and the day after the event during May, June, September and October, giving time for setup beforehand and teardown afterward.

For couples who want a mountain wedding on the North Shore with room to plan every detail themselves, Mt Seymour offers forest, views and plenty of space to celebrate.
