We are excited to launch our new wedding venue! Imagine being nestled in a pocket of old growth boreal forest surrounded by the sweet melody of nature. Think of a unique, handcrafted dome style tent experience, adorned with Tulum inspired artisanal, textural and natural decor,one of a kind handmade concrete tables, a bohemian chic lounge area, and dancing the night away taking in the sweet aroma of crisp forest air...whilst under the canopy of millions of stars, right in one of the world’s dark sky preserves. Truly...can we say more!

Our goal is to make your wedding as stress free as possible. We aspire to instil your day with the humble, yet impactful details in aspiration to help make your celebration incredibly unforgettable.
