Some weddings feel like they’ve been plucked straight from the pages of a storybook, and Kyra and Ross’s celebration at the exclusive Wigwam Inn was one of them. Nestled at the head of Indian Arm and accessible only by boat, this historic venue owned by the Vancouver Royal Yacht Club offered the perfect backdrop for their nature-inspired wedding.
Arriving by Boat: An Adventurous Start
The day began with a touch of adventure as the bride arranged for all vendors to be transported by boat—a thoughtful nod to the unique charm of the venue. Guests also arrived by water, setting the tone for an unforgettable weekend getaway. Wigwam Inn’s secluded location surrounded by lush greenery and tranquil waters made it feel like the couple had stepped into a dream.

A Ceremony Filled with Love (and Dogs!)
While Kyra and Ross had already exchanged vows at a legal ceremony at City Hall, they crafted their Wigwam celebration to be a heartfelt expression of their personalities. Lovers of nature and animals, they embraced the natural beauty of the venue, letting it shine without excessive adornment. Their ceremony was nothing short of magical, complete with two “dogs of honour,” Bruce and Winston who added a touch of joy and authenticity to the proceedings.
A Dinner to Remember
The evening unfolded with an intimate dinner where family and friends shared laughter, toasts, and delicious food in a cozy yet elegant setting. The reception space echoed the forest's enchantment, with understated décor enhancing the natural surroundings.
Dancing the Night Away
After dinner, the real fun began as the dance floor filled with energy, and guests celebrated late into the night. The joy and camaraderie were palpable, creating a night that guests won’t soon forget.
A Magical Morning Finale
As if the day weren’t magical enough, some guests made the most of their stay by enjoying a morning swim in the serene waters of Indian Arm. It was a fitting finale to a wedding that perfectly blended adventure, intimacy, and joy.

A Timeless Celebration
Kyra and Ross’s love for each other and for nature radiated throughout their day. Their decision to keep things simple and meaningful allowed the natural splendour of Wigwam Inn to take center stage, creating an experience that felt timeless and deeply personal.
From the breathtaking boat rides to the forest fairytale setting, this wedding was a true testament to the couple’s adventurous spirit and love for all things wild and wonderful.
