We specialize in thoughtfully curated all-inclusive weddings, micro weddings, and elopements.

By focusing on complete wedding experiences rather than venue-only rentals, we’re able to provide a consistently beautiful and stress-free celebration for every couple.

Yes.

We specialize in romantic BC elopements for couples looking for a relaxed, meaningful wedding experience surrounded by nature.

Our all-inclusive elopement packages allow you to focus on each other while we take care of the details.

Our most popular dates between May and October often book 12 to 18 months in advance.

We recommend reserving your preferred date as early as possible.

Yes.

Guests may bring trailers, camper vans, or camping gear for extra privacy and space provided your total guest count remains within your package limits.

Because Tin Poppy Retreat operates primarily on solar power, we do not offer RV hookups or serviced campsites. All trailers and camper vans must be fully self-contained.

Music at Emerald Hall concludes at 11:00 p.m.

After 11:00 p.m., you’re welcome to continue celebrating at Lavender Cabin. We simply ask everyone to respect the peaceful atmosphere of the retreat and our neighbours.

Yes.

Emerald Hall and Lavender Cabin both include Bluetooth speakers, making it easy to connect your own playlists throughout your celebration.

Every wedding is inspired by the season.

We prioritize locally grown flowers from nearby flower farms whenever possible, along with natural greenery gathered from the retreat.

You’re welcome to share your colour palette and inspiration, and we’ll create a romantic nature-inspired design that reflects your vision while celebrating what’s naturally in bloom.

Absolutely.

We’re a pet-friendly wedding venue, and well-behaved dogs are welcome to be included in your ceremony, wedding photos, and celebration.

Tin Poppy Retreat is an outdoor wedding venue, rain or shine. For Emerald Hall weddings, if there’s heavy rain, your ceremony can be moved indoors to Emerald Hall. If the rain is expected to pass, we’re happy to wait it out, or many couples simply embrace the moment with umbrellas. We’ll work with you to choose the best option for your day.

Rain simply becomes part of the adventure.

Couples booking our Emerald Hall Wedding or Tin Poppy Micro Wedding enjoy exclusive use of Tin Poppy Retreat for the duration of their celebration.

For elopements, another couple may occasionally be celebrating elsewhere on our 160-acre property. Ceremony locations are thoughtfully separated to ensure complete privacy.

No.

Tin Poppy Retreat carries the venue insurance required for weddings held on the property.

Outside vendors are responsible for carrying their own liability insurance.

If alcohol will be served during an Emerald Hall Wedding or Tin Poppy Micro Wedding, you’ll need to obtain a BC Special Event Permit.

Special Event Permits are not required for our intimate elopement packages.

Our Emerald Hall Wedding Package includes catering.

Our Tin Poppy Micro Wedding package allows you to hire your favourite caterer, choose from our recommended caterers, or prepare your own meal.

Yes.

You’re welcome to bring your own photographer, florist, hair stylist, musician, or other vendors.

For everyone’s protection, all outside vendors must carry commercial liability insurance while working at Tin Poppy Retreat.

Absolutely.

We encourage couples to schedule a tour so you can explore the ceremony spaces, boutique cabins, Emerald Hall, and the beautiful forest setting before making your decision.

A non-refundable deposit secures your wedding date.

The remaining balance is typically paid in two installments approximately six months and two months before your wedding. Flexible payment schedules are available whenever possible.
