The unbelievable natural beauty of British Columbia makes it one of the best places in Canada, if not the world, for an elopement or wedding! A dream for outdoor adventures like rugged hikes, kayaking, and skiing, this destination is ideal for environmentally conscious couples who crave outdoor time and are inspired by epic landscapes. For smaller celebrations, I highly recommend one of our many gorgeous Airbnb wedding venues in British Columbia, offering privacy, serenity, and your own space to personalize and enjoy. 

Here’s why you’ll love an Airbnb elopement — plus, the best Airbnb venues for intimate weddings in British Columbia!

Why Airbnbs Make For Such Beautiful & Unique Wedding Venues In British Columbia

If you’re seeking non-traditional wedding venues in British Columbia, Airbnbs are absolutely perfect for micro-weddings and elopements. They offer your own exclusive space where you can completely relax and connect in a way that feels right for you, with Airbnbs an amazing option for privacy.

You can often say your vows right outside, then stay a few days longer and your Airbnb becomes your honeymoon location! This can often be more affordable than a traditional wedding or honeymoon as well, freeing up your budget for more meaningful experiences like heli-skiing, private sailboat charters, or fine dining! 

To arrange your Airbnb wedding, start out by checking with the hosts to see if they allow elopements. There are many Airbnb hosts in BC who allow events or weddings and they are often thrilled that you’ve chosen their space for your celebrations! 

Or, if you’re planning to invite guests to the Airbnb to attend the wedding, but they aren’t staying there, you’ll need permission from the host as well, as each property will have its own set of rules. As long as you’re respectful and communicate your plans ahead of time, everything will be smooth sailing. 

Romantic & Unforgettable — The Best Airbnb Elopement Locations in British Columbia

To offer you some inspiration, here are some of the most architecturally creative Airbnbs, offering an unparalleled experience. Each also offers unbelievable mountain, lake, or landscape views, perfect for an outdoor wedding ceremony or just savouring over a morning coffee on the balcony. 

As your wedding photographer in British Columbia, we can also take such artistic, romantic, and candid images in each of these locations, both inside and outdoors, including the gorgeous landscapes in your wedding gallery.

Casa Cereza Spanish Villa in the Cherry Orchard (9 guests)

Designed in the style of a Spanish villa, this stylish home would be a great choice for a Naramata Beach elopement. There’s a delightful orchard just outside that would be perfect for your wedding portraits, with vibrant and colourful native spring blooms.

The interior is designed in a minimalist, but luxurious style, and it’s a convenient base for a honeymoon in the area. Naramata Beach offers award-winning wineries and restaurants and Naramata Falls, a stunning waterfall that would also be a great spot for your wedding photos. 

The Wine Country Villa with Pool and 3 Acres (9 guests)

Another popular choice for a winery elopement is this gorgeous private villa, built in the 1930s. The interior spaces are thoughtfully designed, but the icing on the cake is the villa’s huge private outdoor pool, so nice for the summer months!
