Mount Washington Wedding Vendor Spotlight

When we think of an unforgettable, out-of-the-box wedding experience on Vancouver Island, our minds always lead to Raven Lodge and the stunning Strathcona Park on Mount Washington in the Comox Valley. It’s truly next level.

Picture this: you're standing hand-in-hand with your favourite person, surrounded by your closest family and friends, breathtaking views stretch all the way to the Forbidden Plateau and beyond. Towering west coast cedars & firs frame the scene, the fresh mountain air fills your lungs, and the cheeky little Whiskey Jacks perch on trees awaiting their next snack. It's pure magic. 

We’ve been blessed to capture countless weddings on the mountain, and we can’t wait to share why Mount Washington holds such a special place in our hearts—and why it just might be the perfect place for your "I Do’s." 💫

Spectacular Views

Who doesn’t love an epic view? We talk a lot about beautiful backdrops, but honestly—it’s hard to beat the slope side views. Everywhere you look, it's postcard perfection.

Whether you're gazing across to Forbidden Plateau, over the Juan de Fuca Strait or taking in the peaceful forest in Strathcona, it's breathtaking in every single direction. This isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a scene straight out of cinema.

On the mountain, you're completely surrounded by jaw-dropping, panoramic views - everywhere you turn! Think 360°
mountain vistas, scenic boardwalks, forest trails and more! It’s a place where adventure meets romance, and up every trail, behind every boulder - there is a gorgeous photo-worthy moment waiting to happen!

Important notes: 

• Chair lift close times vary, so be sure to ask your coordinator if/when they are available! Lift closing time is typically 5pm, so be sure to plan how we can get you up the mountain in time!
• Fog can roll in and make it hard to see up top with the right technique though this can be great for portraits!
• Summer or Winter...bring something warm to wear! It may be summer, spring or fall...but it can still be somewhat chilly on the lift ride up, or down in Strathcona!
