The Experience
The 3-Day Journey.
Not just a wedding day. A full getaway in the heart of Algonquin Park with everyone you love.
From the moment your guests board the traditional pointer boat through the final morning — every hour is intentional. Our on-site team is with you every step of the way, ensuring nothing is left to chance.
The itinerary below is a sample — timing and menus are customized with each couple during planning.
Day 1
Arrival Day
The Adventure Begins
4:00 – 6:00 pm
Guest Arrival by Pointer Boat
Guests are transported across Tea Lake on our traditional pointer boats. The crossing itself is the first statement of intent: this celebration is unlike anything else.
7:00 pm
BBQ Dinner
Settle in around the dining hall. BBQ ribs, homemade burgers, corn on the cob, and all the fixings. Caesar salad, garden salad, seasonal pies. The camp comes alive.
9:30 pm
First Campfire
Gather around the fire pit. The forest goes quiet, the stars come out, and your guests meet the park for the first time in the dark.
11:00 pm
Late Night Snack
A choice of chicken wings, assorted pizzas, nachos, or s'mores at the campfire. The night continues as long as you want.
Day 2
The Wedding Day
The Heart of It All
9:00 am
Breakfast Buffet
French toast, pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage, home fries, fresh fruit and muffins. Coffee, tea, juice. The morning unfolds slowly.

Rest Hour
An old camp tradition. A deliberate pause before the ceremony. Guests drift back to their cabins to rest and prepare, as the forest settles into a quiet calm.
5:15 pm
