Your Wedding at
EMERALD LAKE LODGEThank you for your interest in Emerald Lake Lodge. We would like to take
this opportunity to introduce you to our lodge.
Emerald Lake Lodge has a setting of unparalleled natural beauty. Originally built in 1902 by the Canadian Pacific Railway, this historic property has been restored and redeveloped to become one of the finest year
round resorts in the Canadian Rockies.
The Lodge is like no other with its rare blend of old and new - contemporary comfort in the midst of hand-hewn timber and stone. Savour first class cuisine in the lakeside dining room or enjoy a cognac in the
Kicking Horse Lounge with its gold rush vintage oak bar, legacy of a Yukon saloon. On the second floor are sitting and reading rooms, and a games room complete with slate billiard table, satellite television and
computer with internet access.
Emerald Lake Lodge and Conference Center is designed to meet the needs of small weddings or larger ones up to 140 people. Grace and intimacy characterizes our functions rooms. They are not only beautifully
appointed, but versatile as well. As a result, planners are given the opportunity to create an intimate atmosphere for their wedding that reflects their style.
The lodge is surrounded by twenty-four cabin-style buildings, which include eighty-five guest units accommodating up to two hundred guests. All of the cabins have been built to reflect the traditional
architecture of the original lodge. Each room features a fieldstone fireplace, a down duvet, and a private balcony with a spectacular mountain view.
Our summertime restaurant, Cilantro on the Lake, offers a casual menu, with a patio between the lagoon side on its left and the lakeside on its right.
Our recreation facilities are located at the Clubhouse, which has a sauna and an eighteen person hot tub which overlooks Emerald Lake. Other recreational activities include cross-country and downhill skiing,
hiking, canoeing and a host of other activities.
This package is complete with room descriptions, room rental fees, and menus. If you require additional information or have any questions, you can contact us directly.
It would be our pleasure to assist you to plan your very special day at Emerald Lake Lodge.

HELPFUL HINTS TO MAKE YOUR WEDDING A SUCCESS IN THE CANADIAN ROCKIES The weather here is known for its drastic, unpredictable changes. It is recommended to have a back up plan in the event of snow or rain if you are planning to hold your ceremony outdoors. Please speak with your meeting and event planner directly to discuss options in case of inclement weather.
*For weddings with a lot of décor and logistics, it is strongly recommended that you hire a planner/day of coordinator.
You are welcome to hold your ceremony in the same room as your reception / dinner. After the ceremony we ask that your guests depart the room in order for our staff to successfully complete the room set-up and keep the dinner running on time. Two and a half hours are required to change the room from ceremony to reception style set-up.
Your function room will be set-up with the appropriate tables, chairs, linens (white) and settings. The lodge is very unique in the aspect that decorations are not needed. Simple flowers and candlelight are all that you need to enhance the atmosphere. All rooms are tastefully decorated and offer natural lighting, art or other decorative wall hangings.
For cocktail receptions longer than 1 hour, food will need to be served if there is a host bar.
Upon booking, the meeting and event planner has various names of photographers, DJs, florists, etc. to help you get on your way. The bride and groom are responsible for the booking of these services. Please note Cilantro on the Lake is the only location we are able to accommodate Bands and DJ’s, unless you choose to Rent Your Own Island option.
After helping you select the room that is suitable for your special day, the meeting and events team will assist you with your menu and wine selections.

EMERALD LAKE LODGE DIRECTIONSFROM CALGARYEmerald Lake Lodge and Conference Centre is located approximately 200km (125 miles) from Calgary, Alberta. To reach the Lodge from Calgary, leave via 16th Avenue heading west. This route turns into the Trans Canada Highway #1 – which you will follow directly to Field, British Columbia. 2km (1 mile) past the town of Field you will approach a turn-off clearly marked for Emerald Lake. Follow the road for 8 km until you see a sign that says ‘Overnight Guest Parking.’ Turn left into the parking lot. In the parking lot is a cabin. Use the telephone in the cabin to call our front desk. A shuttle will be sent to pick you up and bring you to the main lodge.
FROM VANCOUVERIf you are at the Vancouver Airport you will want to go south on Highway 99 towards Tsawwassen (Ferry Dock). Exit onto Highway 10, which will be labeled as the direction to reach Hope. After the town of Langley, Highway 10 will join with the Trans-Canada Highway #1, which will take you east to Hope. At Hope it is best to leave the Trans- Canada Highway #1 and take the Coquihalla Highway as it is shorter. The Coquihalla Highway will take you to Kamloops where you rejoin the Trans-Canada Highway #1 heading East. Follow this highway all the way past Golden and into the Yoho National Park. 55 kilometers past Golden there is a turn off to the left clearly marked Emerald Lake. If you come to the town of Field you have gone too far. Follow the road for 8 km until you see a sign that says ‘Overnight Guest Parking.’ Turn left into the parking lot. In the parking lot is a cabin. Use the telephone in the cabin to call our front desk. A shuttle will be sent to pick you up and bring you to the main lodge.
Please keep in mind that Emerald Lake Lodge is 840 kilometers from Vancouver, much of which is through mountain terrain that may necessitate slower driving.
Please park your vehicle in the overnight parking lot where the shuttle bus will meet you to take you to the main lodge.

ENSURING A SMOOTH ARRIVALPARKINGIt is important to us that you and your guests arrive at Emerald Lake Lodge free of any complications.
Here are a few helpful hints for a smooth arrival:
- Due to service vehicle safety matters and pedestrian volume on our service road NO VEHICLES are permitted on the Lodge property (across the bridge) unless special arrangements have been made in advance.- Please be sure that ALL your wedding guests are aware that upon their arrival at Emerald Lake Lodge they should park in the Emerald Lake Lodge GUEST OVERNIGHT PARKING. A shuttle service will comfortably transport your guests to the Main Lodge where they can then check in and receive keys to their room. Bellman will be ready and happy to assist with luggage. - We are happy to attend to our guests with disabilities. Special arrangements can be made with the Bell Captain or shuttle driver upon arrival. Notice ahead of arrival is helpful. - Please notify ALL booked wedding service vendors of our property access vehicle restrictions. Please have them contact us to make special arrangements if vehicle access is required due to larger than normal cargo loads (wedding planner decorations, table/chair rentals, DJ, cake/flower deliveries, etc).
*All vehicles that access the Lodge property will be allotted a limited time to be on property.
