    The perfect micro venue

    I found out about Tin Poppy through someone I follow on Instagram, and when I found myself planning a "micro" wedding it was the first place I thought of! I inquired about 18 months ahead, and Maggie helped me choose the right package for my group size and preferences. I found Cahoots (Spencer) for catering which ended up being SO good. He had catered there before so was familiar with the setup and we created a custom menu which was what we wanted. I also rented dishes and cutlery from him so that we cut down on what dishes we had to do! I decided to bring my own officiant and photographer - but those are usually included in the package. All the decor was beautiful, and the florals were rustic and fit the venue. The ceremony site was decorated simply but perfectly. The cake was gluten-free and also very delish - multiple people said it was the best dinner/cake they had at a wedding. Our coordinator put everything together behind the scenes and I didn't feel the need to micromanage one bit! We had a couple of small hiccups (table stability and running out of solar power) but both were dealt with promptly by the owner and coordinator. I honestly wouldn't change a thing. Our day was perfect and the day was so relaxing! Our wedding took place late June, 2023!

    Tin Poppy was Magical!

    I was so happy to find and book Tin Poppy for our intimate wedding in the beginning of 2020 and then as the 2020 pandemic hit, I was even more thrilled that we had booked with them! They took so much off my shoulders, not having to think about the flowers, finding the commissioner, the photographer, and the cake was a big relief during all the crazy unpredictable times. We showed up and had the most magical ceremony I could have ever dreamed up.

    Tin Poppy Retreat

    Tin Poppy is the perfect place to have a small intimate wedding! The Lavender Cabin was beautiful and Maggie was amazing to work with! We had seven weeks to plan a wedding and Maggie made the whole process stress free! She was always quick to respond to emails and was very accommodating to all our specific requests. We have nothing but good things to say about Tin Poppy!!

    Everything we could want

    What can we say about our elopement at Tin Poppy? It was everything we could want and more! The package we chose included two nights in Lavender House, a gift basket with some local goodies that were SO delicious! My bouquet, his boutonniere and a beautiful simple cake! Also an amazing officiant and photographer. We added a dinner on top of it and it was packaged neatly in the fridge when we arrived. Maggie was so attentive and got back to us for our many questions very fast. We would recommend this venue to anyone who would like a stress free, cozy wedding in the beautiful Larch Hills near Salmon Arm BC. We are not local but will definitely make the trip back -maybe in the summer when there's less snow- to enjoy the area again!

    The most magical intimate outdoor venue in B.C.

    We were absolutely amazed by the stunning views and unique spaces the Tin Poppy has to offer. We adored our wedding and would not change a thing. It is completely customizable which is lovely as not all couples want a cookie cutter experience. Maggie took care of everything and I can honestly say my day was 100% stress free. I can't say enough wonderful things about the tin poppy. We will definitely be coming back for an anniversary!

    Thank you Jessica,
    It was a gorgeous day, and I'm so happy it was stress free for you, that's how it should be;) I look forward to meeting you two again.

    Amazing! Beautiful! Worth it!

    Tin Poppy was such an enjoyable experience, and our elopement went off perfectly!
    Maggie was so easy to correspond with and just all around lovely and pleasant to deal with. Our accommodations (actual tin poppy caravan) was beautiful and just had that something special we were looking for! We would recommend thier beautiful property to anyone whether it's for a small wedding or just a relaxing getaway.
    We will be back for sure!

    With love and honor

    I am writing this review becuase I am truly impressed. Maggie goes above and beyond to make your day special. She is very accommodating to your needs. This was our honor to be married here. Her place is magical and oozes romance and love. Its rustic and beautiful. Breathtaking. Tin Poppy Retreat will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you so very much! Ps. We got married on the smokies day of the year so you can't see the valleys behind us. None the less... they day we had was perfect!

    Tin Poppy Retreat's reply:

    Definitely the smokiest day of the year! But it was beautiful and did add an element of mystic beauty. Thank you so much for your review and allowing us to be a part of your beautiful magical day:)

    Everything top notch.

    My husband and I just loved this location. The scenery was so breathtaking, nothing can compare with the views of thw valley below. Plus the handmade bouquets where so charming and perfect! I loved the basket they had given us full of local treats, they where all delicious and I will most deffbe buying more of them. And the keepsakes where also very cute and well suited for us.

    We cannot wait to go back when its winter to use the saunas included with the cabins. If your ever thinking if this location I highly reccomend. Even if your not getting married there are ski hills and a winery extemely close.

    This place will not disappoint!!!

    Tin Poppy Retreat's reply:

    Kaitlyn,
    Thank you so much for your review! We were honored to host and to be a part of your beautiful wedding! Please come back for winter escape of saunaing, cross country skiing and wine sampling;)

    Incredible home away from home!

    WOW! What a beautiful place to elope or have a micro-wedding. I cant begin to explain how grateful we are for Maggie's attention to detail and service we received from her in the past year. From booking to venue, to accommodating the reverend, food and amazing photographer - she made it all comprehensive and easy. All of our guests were blown away by the location as well as each of the beautifully unique cabins. Everything is so secluded, you feel comfortable from beginning to end. We will be coming back to Tin Poppy time and time again, i see a new annual tradition amongst our friends and family. Thank you from all of us at the Tweedie wedding! Our weekend was nothing short of perfection.

    Tin Poppy Retreat's reply:

    Jayden,
    You're so welcome! and thank you so much for your review! It was great to meet your lovely family and friends and be a part of your amazing day! We hope to see you again!
