Fraser River Lodge is an exclusive-use wilderness retreat in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley, set directly on the banks of the Fraser River with panoramic views of Mount Cheam and the Cascade Mountains. Just an hour from Vancouver, this Indigenous-owned lodge pairs luxury adventure with riverfront calm, offering on-site accommodation for up to 47 guests and weddings of up to 200. It’s a destination for couples who want dramatic natural scenery, warm hospitality, and a full weekend experience in one private setting.

Located in Agassiz, British Columbia, Fraser River Lodge sits on 18 private acres overlooking the mighty Fraser River. With Mount Cheam rising in the distance and open skies stretching across the valley, the setting feels expansive yet intimate—secluded enough for a full wedding takeover, yet within easy reach of Vancouver and the resort town of Harrison Hot Springs.

The lodge is Indigenous-owned and built around a philosophy of sharing the land through experience. Originally known for guided fishing excursions and adventure travel, it has evolved into a sought-after wedding venue where guests can combine celebration with outdoor exploration. The architecture blends rustic warmth with contemporary comfort—wood textures, large windows, and inviting communal spaces that frame the surrounding landscape.

Weddings are offered on an exclusive-use basis, allowing couples and their guests to enjoy the entire property privately. A minimum stay of one night applies. The venue can host up to 200 guests for events, with on-site accommodation for 47 across 20 bedrooms. It suits couples who value scenery, authenticity, and a relaxed yet polished atmosphere—where the mountains and river become part of the story.

Ceremonies at Fraser River Lodge unfold against a backdrop of river and mountain views. The outdoor ceremony lawn is positioned to take full advantage of Mount Cheam and the Cascade range, creating a striking natural frame for vows. The open setting works beautifully for larger guest counts while still feeling personal and connected to the landscape.

In case of changing weather, the Marquee Tent serves as a refined alternative, allowing couples to retain those panoramic views while staying comfortably sheltered.

The lodge is licensed for civil ceremonies, allowing couples to host both their legal ceremony and celebrations in one place. Same-sex weddings are warmly welcomed. A bridal changing room is available on site, and a day-of coordinator is included in wedding packages to ensure smooth timing, vendor management, and flow throughout the day.

There are no religious facilities on site, but couples are free to incorporate cultural or spiritual elements into their ceremony with their chosen celebrant.

A wedding day at Fraser River Lodge naturally unfolds across its outdoor and indoor spaces. Guests might begin with a ceremony overlooking the river, followed by cocktails on the terrace as the light shifts across the mountains. The expansive grounds allow for lawn games, relaxed mingling, and golden-hour portraits framed by the valley.

Dinner is typically hosted in the marquee or main reception space, where long tables and panoramic views create a sense of connection between indoors and out. As the evening progresses, speeches transition into dancing, supported by the venue’s sound system. There is a curfew in place, so celebrations are thoughtfully paced—yet the multi-day format means the energy can continue into a next-day brunch or riverside gathering.

With exclusive use of the property, couples have the freedom to design a weekend that feels cohesive and immersive, from welcome drinks to farewell breakfasts.

Fraser River Lodge offers on-site accommodation for up to 47 guests across 20 bedrooms, making it ideal for hosting close family and friends for the full wedding weekend. Rooms are styled with a warm, lodge-inspired aesthetic—comfortable, inviting, and oriented towards the surrounding views.

Large windows, shared lounges, and outdoor areas encourage guests to gather and connect beyond the wedding day itself. The property is dog-friendly, allowing couples to include their pets in the celebration.

For additional guests, nearby Agassiz and Harrison Hot Springs offer further accommodation options, and the venue team can advise on local recommendations.

Catering at Fraser River Lodge is provided in-house, with a strong emphasis on locally sourced, farm-to-table ingredients. The team takes pride in supporting regional farmers and businesses, as well as sourcing seafood locally to ensure quality and freshness. The result is destination dining set against one of British Columbia’s most scenic backdrops.

Menus can be tailored to suit the format of the event—whether a plated dinner, buffet-style service, or relaxed brunch the following day. Dietary requirements can be accommodated with advance notice.

The lodge operates a licensed bar, offering curated drink selections to complement the meal and the setting. From welcome cocktails to evening toasts, the bar service is seamlessly integrated into the celebration.
