Wedding of our dreams at 50th Parallel!

This was our desired wedding venue from the moment we did our tour in January of 2019 for our originally schedule July 18th, 2020 wedding date. Once COVID-19 presented uncertainty, we decided to re-schedule for 2021 before changing our minds AGAIN to take advantage of some September 2020 availability. We are so glad that we proceeded with the 2020 wedding.
Dana and team were fantastic to work with and we never felt like they were not doing their part to help us pull off the wedding of our dreams. There were obvious restrictions related to covid that the venue enforced but this was a necessity of them being able to operate and they worked with us every step of the way.
The food was absolutely incredible. All of our guests were raving about the braised beef and gnocchi.
The venue itself offers an incredible view but the thing that really took our experience over the top was not only the commitment from Dana to help make sure everything lined up but also the staff at 50P from the kitchen and set-up team and restaurant staff. It was all amazing!
Last note: we ended up utilizing the Infiniti Pad (Ceremony) and Tank Hall (Reception) and used the vines behind the facility for our first look – this was a great mix and with the reduced numbers (we were originally at 140 and ended up at 48 Post-Covid), the Tank Hall was the right room and ambience for the evening. We would highly recommend 50th Parallel Winery to anyone considering an Okanagan wedding. Thanks again to 50P!

This venue is incredible: jaw dropping views, unbelievable wine and a family run feel. We had planned our wedding for a year and a half and while there were some bumps in the road, Sheri-Lee (owner) personally worked with us all the way through to make it the most perfect day. Sheri-Lee was extremely prompt at returning emails and phone calls. Her excitement and enthusiasm is what makes planning a wedding all the more magical and fun. Valerie was hired a few months before our wedding as their wedding and event coordinator. She was great to work with, had innovative ideas and was also very prompt with responses. They have an amazing team at 50th Parallel, it was wonderful working with them over the past year. I would highly recommend this venue to everyone!
