the story

About Nita Lake Lodge Resort & Spa

Nita Lake Lodge Resort & Spa is a boutique lakeside lodge set on the shores of glacier-fed Nita Lake in Whistler's Creekside area, roughly 500 metres from the Creekside Gondola. Describing itself as Whistler's only lakeside resort and spa, the property has been awarded a MICHELIN Key ("A very special stay") since 2024 and is presented on its own site as an internationally recognised destination wedding venue. Surrounded by mountains and temperate rainforest, it offers couples both indoor and outdoor ceremony and reception options, with celebrations ideally sized for 20 to 120 guests.

The lodge positions itself as an all-in-one wedding property: in-house catering, bakery and bar service built around locally sourced ingredients; a boutique lodge experience with preferred group rates; an on-site spa; and dedicated sales, culinary and guest services teams. Named spaces referenced by the lodge include the Porte Cochere for outdoor vows, the Library for intimate gatherings, the Nita Room + Foyer for larger receptions, and lakeside dinners overlooking the water. Couples often prepare in the Rainforest Suite, a 1,415-square-foot suite with private elevator access. Catering menus span plated dinners, family-style meals, buffets and live chef stations, with wedding dinner menus starting at $99 per person plus an 18% taxable service charge.

Accommodation is entirely in suites, from Studio and One Bedroom Lake View Suites (640 sq ft, king beds, basalt gas fireplaces, patios or balconies) to two-level Two Bedroom Suites and the signature Rainforest and Glade Suites. The Spa at Nita Lake Lodge adds rooftop hot tubs, a eucalyptus steam room, a rooftop barrel sauna and a relaxation lounge, while three on-site dining venues — The Den, Lakeside Lounge and Fix Cafe — cover everything from welcome breakfasts to après-style gatherings. Guests have complimentary use of paddleboards, canoes and bikes plus an EV shuttle into Whistler Village, and pet-friendly suites mean four-legged family members are welcome.

The lodge requires all couples to engage a professional wedding planner or day-of coordinator on site for the full duration of the event, and all food and beverage must be supplied by the lodge. Couples begin by submitting an online wedding inquiry form, after which the events team shares the wedding brochure, catering menus, venue videos and wedding policies.
