Things to Note
Food & Beverages and Alcohol Licensing
You are free to work with the food & beverage service of your choice. All caterers have to adhere to strict garbage & wildlife safety regulations, as the venue is located in bear country. If you do not have a caterer in mind yet, we will gladly make a recommendation and share our local contacts with you to make your reception one to remember.
Since this venue is not permanently licensed, you will have the option to run your own bar with your own Special Event Permit alcohol license in place. All bartenders must have their Serving it Right and follow BC’s responsible liquor service regulations.
