The northern air is crisp, Waskesiu Lake shimmers like magic, reflecting the sun to you, while a peaceful, lush forest surrounds you. When you want to avoid the stress of planning a big wedding, more and more couples are turning to a beautiful, meaningful, and intimate experience, especially those who enjoy outdoor activities all year round. Kapasiwin Bungalows is the perfect cozy and unforgettable Prince Albert National Park cabin to host your once-in-a-lifetime nuptials.
Prince Albert National Park: Your Magical Elopement Destination
If you’re planning your elopement, a cabin in Prince Albert National Park is the perfect destination for an intimate ceremony. The dream is to find a romantic spot where you’re secluded, without sacrificing your comfort. Kapasiwin Bungalows is just north of the Waskesiu townsite, giving you and your guests easy access to both nature and amenities in town.
Whichever season you decide to tie the knot, there’s beauty to behold. The best times are the beginning of fall or spring; the shoulder seasons are less busy, which can allow for a more private experience. There are many scenic spots throughout the park that will make for breathtaking photos, especially with the lakes as the background. You’re in for an immaculate collection of memories.
The Perfect Cabin At Kapasiwin Bungalows
The cabins at Kapasiwin are all four-season two-bedroom “rustic contemporary” cottages that sleep up to six. They are equipped with a spacious deck with furniture, a full kitchen, a fireplace, air conditioning, a TV, and internet. The direct beach access provides an abundance of lakeshore opportunities, like a ceremony on the beach. The peaceful atmosphere and lake views offer a wave of calm for your wedding day.
One of the benefits of choosing a Prince Albert Park cabin you may not have considered is that you’re able to stay in one location for both your ceremony and your honeymoon. The park has plenty of activities to do together after you walk down the aisle. Kapasiwin Bungalows offers packages that you can take advantage of during your stay. There are several tours of Prince Albert National Park; other activities include horseback riding, kayaking, and canoeing, which you can request to borrow from Kapasiwin.
Plan Your Ceremony: Lakeside or Forest
Waskesiu Lake is a popular area, so expect tourists. It’s crucial to plan your ceremony accordingly if you want to avoid too much traffic. The best times for a lakeside elopement are to pick a weekday during the shoulder seasons and try for an early morning or evening.
Alternatively, if you’re more interested in a hiking adventure, you can spend the morning hiking to find the perfect spot in the forest to exchange vows. There is nothing more magical than committing yourself to one another amidst the trees and woodland creatures. You can think of nature as your chapel.
If hiking to a spot isn’t ideal, here are some other ideas for ceremony spots:
- The Community Hall
- Directly on the beach
- Decorated Cabin Porch
- A canoe on Waskesiu Lake
Practical Considerations For A National Park Wedding
Planning an elopement is more intimate and simpler than planning a wedding, but there are still important elements to consider.
- You’ll have to get a marriage license and an officiant
- To get married in the park, you will also need a permit from Parks Canada
- Be prepared for fluctuations in weather; staying close to Kapasiwin is a good idea for shelter
- Dress for the occasion, but also the environment. A classic wedding gown might not work if you’re hiking in the forest.
