Outdoor Wedding Venues in Alberta

What is the Rave About Outdoor Wedding Venues Anyway?

For an outdoor wedding venue in Alberta, the window for hosting weddings and events is quite narrow. Winter occupies six months of the year, give or take and we know spring and fall can’t be trusted with 30°C weather one day to a snowstorm the next. Alberta summers are so valuable and if you close your eyes for too long, they will be over before you know it and we’ll be hauling out the parkas again! So, enjoy the warm weather and natural green ambiance by hosting your special day at an outdoor wedding venue.

The Outdoors Actually Enhance your Mood

There is something so calming about the sounds of leaves rustling in the wind, birds chirping, and water trickling into a still pond. I know from experience that going on a hike in nature can truly bring about peace and lower your stress levels. We all want to have a relaxing day to enjoy with our family and friends and the best way to do that is to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds us. The splendor of the outdoors will enhance the “good vibes” everyone will be feeling on your special day.

A Photographers Dream

Not only will everybody’s mood be elevated, but the natural lighting will make for some amazing wedding photos that you will be able to cherish for a lifetime. The surrounding landscape is enough to make for great photos with little décor needed to enhance the space. You can even save on lighting costs by using our literal life source, the sun, which is the perfect lighting for photographs. Sunsets also make for some incredible photos and create a romantic ambiance for your evening. You’ll have all your Facebook friends green with envy, wishing they would have just listened and opted for an outdoor wedding themselves.

Privacy and Spaciousness

Outdoor wedding venues offer the luxury of privacy and intimacy on your special day. There won’t be golfers yelling “fore” during your wedding vows or a mariachi band rolling through the streets during your welcome to the family speeches. Outdoor weddings allow you to share the most intimate moments with the people closest to you. But you don’t want it so intimate that your guests are squished together in a tiny space without any room to breakdance! With outdoor wedding venues, you have the freedom to move around, do some cartwheels, and have a balance between indoor and outdoor space.

Book Your Wedding at an Outdoor Venue

So, my fellow Albertans, get outside this summer and enjoy the great outdoors with your family and friends. Say your vows by a dazzling waterfall, under an old oak tree, or on top of a mountain. After all, we owe it to ourselves after spending a good portion of the year inside our homes with diminishing vitamin D exposure cuddled under layers of blankets!
