Our Cancelled Covid Wedding...

We were to be married at sun peaks this past weekend.
Due to Covid we cancelled last year.
Our wedding planner Kaitlyn messaged us just prior to our what would have been date with the kindest words, when almost noone even remembered that this was to be our day, she did.
She loves her job and loves her clients and it showed through the whole process. When we had to cancel, she was so accommodating and the entire sucky process was handled with grace and ease.
I can't imagine that was easy, but she never let it show. As brides all around me were having bad experiences in rescheduling & cancelling, Kaitlyn held us with compassion, rather than inconvenience in the process.
In the planning stages, her level of excitement was right there with ours!
The entire process was really amazing with the resort.
I just wanted to leave this review because I am so grateful, in retrospect, that this was going to be our wedding place. With covid, we still don't know what to do...
but when we do figure it out, our new plans will not be made without the gratitude in our hearts for what Sun Peaks did for us in this "first try" at booking our wedding.
Thank you to everyone there who walked with us on this journey.
Sun Peaks and its people are pure magic.
Anyone who chooses to be married there will not be disappointed.
Summer or Winter, the Mountian is amazing.

Ps..the pic below is not from the wedding but from me and my bride squad skiing in wedding dresses as a pre run ;)

Covid Bride,
Kylye

Beautiful Winter Wedding

We had a winter wedding at the Sun Peaks Grand, ceremony on the Terrace and Reception in the ballroom. They do a fantastic job of setting everything up and making sure that everything is done to spec. We worked with Faith and she did an amazing job double checking things herself that day to make sure our day was great. The day was wonderful, the scenery couldn't be beat. All our guests had a great time up at Sun Peaks as well as the wedding. If you look up photographer Nancy Critchley Photography on Inta or facebook you will see some of the amazing photos.

Amazing.......Food, People & Setting

We had our wedding here in February 2019, it was a pure Winter wonderland wedding. It was perfect! Faith was our coordinator at Sun Peaks & she was beyond helpful & always got back to us in a reasonable time from any queries & questions we had. She went out of her way to make sure the day went smoothly & as we had planned. We were in constant contact with Faith throughout the lead up to our wedding & we were kept in the know all the way through. Rob & his team did an amazing job with the food & even went out of their way to ensure all the dietry requirements of some of our guests were met. Everyone that attended had nothing but great things to say. The ballroom was perfect the staff were amazing throughout the day & the outside setting for photo's was wonderful. This place is gorgeous summer or winter so if you are planning either season you will not be disappointed. The hotel has some great areas for photo's or take them outside to the village. We couldn't have been happier with how the day went. WE LOVED OUR WEDDING DAY here & you will too!

September 8th, 2018 Wedding

We had our early fall wedding up at Sun Peaks just a couple of weeks ago. We absolutely loved our experience! The wedding coordinators were incredible, and were extremely accomodating and helpful during our whole weekend. There were several last minute changes we needed help with, and they were able to accomodate us. Faith, especially was amazing to work with! I cannot put into words how thankful I am for her flexibility and help.
Thank you Sun Peaks & Faith/Kaitlyn/Corrie!

Sun Peaks Wedding

I had Sun Peaks picked out in my head before even being there. It was the backdrop we wanted as well as location. From point of contact to the final day Kaitlyn and her team were friendly, professional and thorough. From small requests to large ones they pulled through for us and made everything come together perfect. Small hiccups were resolved quietly and calmly and they made every effort to make us feel special up to that day. I wouldn’t change a thing.

Excellent!

Our wedding ceremony was totally amazing at the mid mountain chapel, Sun Peaks. Kaitlyn helped organise our perfect day with no fuss and it was super affordable! The day went so smoothly and we had the best time! Catching the chairlift up to my wedding was an incredible experience! Thank you!

The Sun Peaks Grand Hotel & Conference Centre and the Village of Sun Peaks was the perfect back drop for our wedding! If you are looking for a "destination" wedding that is still close to home this is the perfect venue for you. The banquet staff for our event were attentive, professional, and very friendly to all of our guests. Our wedding coordinator through the Sun Peaks Grand, Kaitlyn, was absolutely amazing, She made the whole event possible and made the planning process so much easier. She was the cherry on top for us.

Sun Peaks Grand hosted our Wedding this summer and we couldn't have been happier with the destination! Everything was organized perfectly and effortlessly!
We stayed in the Mountain Suite and it was just phenomenal!
The Covered Bridge by the Heart Shaped Rock was the perfect setting for the ceremony...absolutely stunning!
I would recommend Sun Peaks Grand to anyone who is planning a wedding.

My husband and I had our wedding at Sun Peaks on Dec. 17, 2016. It was absolutely wonderful! The staff were very helpful and worked with us on many different issues. The food was absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was sincerely magical. It was their busy season, so there were a lot of people around, but we didn't mind the attention. People thought we were part of the attractions (as there were a lot of people dressed up and walking around) and were taking photos of us (So if that isn't your thing, I suggest going during spring/summer/fall months). It was wonderful, children thought I was some sort of snow queen! haha! Well, anyways, if we could do it there again, we would!

The moment the couple walks down the aisle when they are filled with some much excitement and anticipation. There is something very special about that moment, and I feel so honoured that I get to be apart of it! One of my favourite parts of my job is taking a newly engaged couple on a site visit around Sun Peak Grand, and watching their eyes light up with excitement when they enter our ballroom!

  • What is your favourite ceremony spot in Sun Peaks for summer?
  • The Grand Terrace! Stunning 180-degrees of Todd Mountain to your right than the European inspired village to your left. How could you not love this destination?
  • What is your favourite ceremony spot in Sun Peaks for winter?
  • Todd Mountain View! You’ll tie the knot surrounded by nature and snow-capped mountains. This location is sure to take your breath away from the moment you step foot here.

  • Bold & Bright colour themes! A bold and bright colour scheme can add a touch of fun and personality to you wedding, making it a truly memorable event!!

  • Aside from the stunning mountain views and nature surroundings, one of the best parts about hosting a wedding at Sun Peaks is we have a wide variety of activities to keep your guest occupied during your wedding weekend that including skiing, golfing, biking, snowshoeing the list could go on forever….

  • What is your favourite ceremony spot in Sun Peaks for summer?
  • Tod Mountain view offers a stunning mountain view for your backdrop. It's our newest venue, nestled around trees in the East Village.
  • What is your favourite ceremony spot in Sun Peaks for winter?
  • The Grand Terrace is my favourite ceremony location for summer. It offers the convenience of being at the same location as your reception while giving you and your guest mountain views. I also love how accessible it is for guests with mobility concerns.
  • What is one place wedding guests should visit while here for the wedding?
  • One place your guests should visit while here is the Sunburst Lodge. Taking the chairlift up to mid-mountain summer or winter is a unique and memorable experience for your friends and family.
  • What wedding trends are you most excited about?
  • I love seeing the bold colours coming back in! They look so glamorous and create such a dramatic statement.
  • Your top tip for newly engaged couples considering Sun Peaks for their wedding destination?
  • I recommend visiting Sun Peaks . We can do a walkthrough of your venue. I find this helpful for couples to envision their special day and get inspired.
  • What is your favourite part of a wedding?
  • My favorite part of the wedding happens when the ceremony ends, and all the guests rise to cheer on the newly weds as they exit. Typically, I get the privilege of witnessing the moment where the guests are standing, turned, and full of smiles and love for the couple.
  • Why do you love your job/ what motivates you to coordinate for the Grand?
  • I get to be a small part, in such a big day for couples. This milestone is one they will remember for the rest of their lives. I have the role of putting little details together like a puzzle and on the day. It’s such a beautiful celebration seeing it all come together.
  • Your favourite locations for Wedding Photos?
  • A wonderful space for intimate photos is up on our Sunburst Mountain ceremony site. Even if the ceremony is at another location, taking the time to go up the lift is well worth it.
  • Consider taking photos with your families in the Village. The lights strung across the European-style shops make for stunning photos. Only steps from the Grand, and don't forget to stop at the iconic covered bridge for a showstopping backdrop summer or winter!
