Accessible only by seaplane from Vancouver, Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge is a Three Michelin Key glamping retreat of 25 canvas tents set among ancient rainforest and the tidal waters of Clayoquot Sound — an all-inclusive wilderness sanctuary for intimate celebrations where the Pacific Old Growth forest is the setting and a helicopter can get you to a glacier before dessert. The venue can accommodate up to 32 guests for your wedding celebration.
Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge doesn't begin on arrival — it begins the moment the seaplane lifts off from Vancouver Harbour and the city drops away, replaced within twenty-five minutes by the sight of Pacific old-growth rainforest, tidal channels, and 25 white canvas tents dotting the Bedwell River's banks. The lodge holds Three Michelin Keys. It sits within a 600-acre private nature reserve. And it is completely, resolutely off-grid — no road to it, no noise from anywhere else.
For weddings, that setting is incomparable. Ceremonies happen on the waterfront against the Sound; dinners in the Cookhouse (which seats 32) or in private dining tents lit by lanterns; toasts on the Rooftop Deck with eagles overhead. The all-inclusive tariff covers gourmet cuisine, wines, guided wilderness experiences, and daily yoga — the couple and their guests are carried from moment to moment by a team that asks almost nothing of them except to be present. First Nations artworks commissioned for the lodge are woven through the spaces, and the Healing Grounds Spa handles all the quiet restoration a wedding party could need.
