Best Alternatives to Jasper National Park for Getting Married If you’re Concerned about the Wildfire Impacts

Written By Brandi Vanderwolf

If you have read my previous post about reasons to still get married in Jasper and reasons it might not be right for you, you may be looking for alternatives. And if you haven’t, check it out here

The good news, there are many alternatives! Just really depends on what you are looking for. 

The destinations below offer spaces for both the ceremony and reception space. Some offer space for up to 100 people, others for 40 or less. 

Mountain Destinations I would recommend that could host both a ceremony and reception:

Hinton:

Rock Lake Earth Lodge

Overlander Mountain Lodge

Nordegg: 

Coliseum Mountain Resort

Kananaskis:

Engadine Lodge (up to 38 people only)

There is of course plenty of options for venues in Banff and Canmore. I chose these specific venues to highlight because I believe they give a similar feel to those of getting married in Jasper. Wide open spaces, connection to nature, small town vibe. 

If you are looking for something in Canmore or Banff, you can check out those suggestions here: 

If you are looking for ceremony locations only and were originally considering Jasper National Park, I highly recommend sticking to there once things are open 100% again. The landscape might be slightly different, but it’s still the beautiful park we remember. Plus, how cool would it be to look back on your wedding photos in 20 years and see how much growth has come back in the exact same location??
