Tin Poppy Retreat

Tin Poppy Retreat is for the couple who wants the wedding to feel less like a production and more like disappearing into the enchanting forest with the people they love most. Set across 160 acres in the Larch Hills between Salmon Arm and Enderby, the retreat specializes in intimate weddings, micro weddings and elopements surrounded by trees, breathtaking mountain views and boutique cabins.

Celebrations are intentionally small, with packages ranging from private elopements for two to forest weddings of up to 25 guests. Depending on the package, couples can have planning and styling, ceremony setup, photography, seasonal flowers, a marriage commissioner, cake, dinner and reception setup handled as part of the experience. Emerald Hall provides an indoor option, while the cabins and forest create a quieter, more secluded atmosphere around the wedding.

Many packages include accommodation, allowing the closest people in the couple's life to stay together rather than arriving only for the ceremony. Some celebrations include exclusive use of the retreat, and the property is pet-friendly for couples hoping to include a well-behaved dog in the day.

The scale is what makes it romantic. There is no need to perform for a room of hundreds. Instead, the wedding can be a table filled with favourite people, flowers inspired by what is growing nearby and vows spoken in a forest quiet enough to hear every word.
