You have been asking...

We have had a few inquiries about some of the wedding details so we thought others might be wondering about these things too.

Where do you get your ticket to go up the Skyride (Gondola)?

- You will pick up your complementary ticket at the base of Grouse Mountain in the Guest Services center on the day of the wedding. It is located near the Starbucks and quite easy to find. Your ticket is good for only one return ride so bring everything you need for the evening! The last gondola leaves the mountain at 1 am and the staff can assist with calling taxis.

What time should you be there?

-Our ceremony is at the top of the mountain on the Timber Deck. It will start promptly at 5:30 pm. The skyride runs every 15 minutes and takes about 8 minutes to reach the top. We recommend arriving at the base of Grouse Mountain no later than 5:00 pm.

How do you get to the ceremony and reception site once at the top?

- As you get off the Skyride, stay right and follow the covered hallway into the Peak Chalet building. At the very end of that hallway is the entrance to the Timber Deck, our ceremony site. The Timber reception room , adjacent to the deck, will open at 6 pm.

A few other tips to keep in mind:

  • Everyone will be standing on the deck for the 20 minute ceremony. There will be a few chairs available for the older and very young guests. We will transfer inside if it is really raining.
  • We will be providing some drinks and also a cash bar.
  • We will send out any last details by e-mail, but also check the blog for any last minor updates or give us an e-mail or call.
  • We are looking forward to celebrating with you!
