The Athabasca Day Use Site stands out as one of the most breathtaking spots to exchange your vows. So much so that this is the location I had my own wedding in. This site is conveniently located just a short drive away from Jasper townsite and boasts stunning views of the Athabasca River.

Accessible by a short walkway down a gravel lane, this site provides an exclusive and intimate atmosphere for your wedding ceremony. The ceremony space is located on a flat, grassy area that overlooks the majestic Athabasca River and can accommodate up to 150 guests. This area also has a spot to hold a rustic outdoor reception. It has 15 picnic tables, a cook shelter, a large firepit with wood, 3 outhouses and potable water. Make sure to bring a generator as there is no electricity on site, but the cook shelter does have a plug in and a light to use once a generator is in place. Please also note that camping is not permitted in this location.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES This location features picturesque views of the surrounding mountains and river. It is absolutely stunning and you will not even need to leave the site to get amazing pictures, this spot truly has it all!
PRICING The Athabasca Day Use Site is managed by Parks Canada and offers affordable rental fees. However, due to its popularity as a wedding ceremony location, it is highly recommended that you book as soon as possible to secure your spot.
