The Audain Art Museum is a stunning architectural masterpiece located in the heart of Whistler village, hidden amongst the forest, designed by Patkau Architects.

Nicklaus North Golf Course
Nicklaus North Golf Course is located a few minutes drive north of Whistler village, and definitely a location with some of the most amazing views of Green Lake.
Nicklaus North Golf course’s restaurant, Table Nineteen, has one of the best patios in Whistler , it overlooks the float plane dock on Green Lake and gets the sun all afternoon until it sets in the evening.
Nicklaus North is ideal for either a small intimate wedding or a wedding celebration for up to 120 friends and family.
This Whistler wedding venue is an option for weddings at any time of year.
Where the venue is located on the lake, you don’t need to go far to capture beautiful wedding party photos. A short walk from the clubhouse is the boardwalk and the ‘spit’ where the river meets the lake, and one of my favourite photos is the natural arch from the surrounding trees on the walk to the spit.

Whistler Blackcomb
Whistler Blackcomb is often voted the number 1 ski resort in the world, and during the summer it offers the best bike park too.
Whistler Blackcomb mountains offer the most amazing venue options for your wedding day. One of the more popular spaces is the deck at Steeps grill and wine bar - located at the top of Whistler Mountain within the roundhouse lodge.
If you’re looking for a more private option, why not put your hiking boots or skis on and head up further into the mountains, and get married with spectacular views of Whistler and the surrounding valley, or find a hidden spot amongst the trees. Having lived and skied in Whistler for 12 years, I know some great places on the mountain.
