Top 5 Wedding Venues in Golden, BC (with Flower Tips from a Local Florist!)
Thinking about getting married in Golden, BC? Whether you’re planning a cozy elopement or a full-on mountain celebration, there’s no shortage of dreamy spots to say “I do.” As a wedding florist based right here in Golden, I’ve been lucky to work at some incredible venues. Here are my top five favourites.
1. Kicking Horse Mountain Resort
📍 Golden, BC – mountaintop ceremony access by gondola
This is Golden’s showstopper venue. Get married at the top of the gondola with panoramic views of the Rockies in every direction. Then head inside to Eagle’s Eye Restaurant for the reception.
🌸 Flower Tip:
Go bold! Jewel tones like burgundy, plum, and deep green really pop against the sky and stone. Keep in mind: it can get windy up there — secure ceremony installs are a must!
2. Hillside Lodge & Chalets
📍 10 minutes from Golden, tucked in the trees
This venue offers a private, forested escape with a riverside ceremony location and a gorgeous rustic barn reception space. It’s peaceful, intimate, and perfect for nature lovers.
🌸 Flower Tip:
Delicate blooms in blush, sky blue, and ivory feel right at home here. Bud vases down long tables and whimsical meadow-style aisle markers add charm without overpowering the natural setting.
3. Emerald Lake Lodge
📍 Field, BC – just 30 minutes from Golden
This one is technically just outside of town, but it’s too stunning not to include. Emerald Lake is known for its turquoise coloured waters, cozy lodge vibes, and surrounding peaks. A favourite for elopements and intimate weddings, it’s romantic, peaceful, and picture-perfect year-round. With multiple wedding spaces available to choose from, you’re sure to find something to fit your vision.
🌸 Flower Tip:
Stick with soft neutrals and earthy tones — think cream, blush, mauve, or terracotta. Romantic blooms like ranunculus, lisianthus, and garden roses work beautifully with the rustic surroundings.
4. Golden Civic Centre
📍 Downtown Golden
Right in the heart of town, this charming heritage building has soaring wood beams, warm lighting, and tons of character. It’s ideal for winter weddings or couples looking for a cozy, rustic space close to town.
🌸 Flower Tip:
Think texture and warmth. Eucalyptus, ruscus, and soft blooms in champagne, dusty rose, or sage pair beautifully with the wood tones.
