Lindon House is a Kelowna heritage wedding venue at 1449 Ethel Street in downtown Kelowna. Its official website identifies the property as a 1905 Edwardian house with more than half an acre of gardens, a 4,000-square-foot house, a banquet room and a cottage. The venue hosts weddings as well as other private and business events.

For couples researching a garden ceremony and reception in one location, the current site documents outdoor gardens, indoor spaces, chairs and tables as part of wedding rentals. The garden component is weather dependent, and the published guest limits are up to 70 during May through October and 50 from November through April. Last reviewed: August 10, 2026.

Services and specialization

Weddings are the venue’s stated specialty. The official wedding offering includes use of outdoor gardens and indoor spaces, chairs and tables for the ceremony and reception, day-before rehearsal access, day-after pickup time, and on-site assistance from Linda and Don. The site also lists a cottage kitchen for caterers, a getting-ready space for the wedding party, table setup, preferred-vendor recommendations and event-planning assistance.

There are three published wedding rental formats: an eight-hour, Monday-to-Thursday ceremony-only option; a full wedding package in peak season; and an off-peak wedding package. The business also states that it hosts elopements for four to 10 people on weekdays, along with showers and other celebrations. Catering is available through preferred vendors; the FAQ also permits another professional caterer when it has valid food-handling certification and liability insurance.

Service area and who it may suit

The confirmed location is downtown Kelowna. Lindon House does not publish a formal service area, so it should not be presented as serving a defined Okanagan-wide or destination-wedding territory. Couples can enquire directly about whether their date, vendor team and event plans can be accommodated at the Kelowna property.

The published capacities make it relevant to couples planning a smaller celebration: up to 70 guests in peak season and 50 off-peak. Weekday elopements are listed for four to 10 people. The property may also be practical for couples seeking both an outdoor ceremony setting and access to indoor spaces, provided they are comfortable confirming the weather backup and event flow with the venue.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Documented features include a heritage house built in 1905, extensive gardens, a banquet room, a cottage, indoor spaces for viewing and getting ready, and on-site hosts during events. Rental equipment is clearly identified: 60-inch round tables that seat eight, six-foot rectangular tables that seat six, and chairs for ceremonies and receptions. These are confirmed venue features rather than ratings or endorsements.

The practical constraints are also important. Garden ceremonies and receptions are weather dependent, and the venue recommends a backup plan; it says tent rentals can be coordinated through preferred vendors. The cottage kitchen is a standard rather than commercial kitchen, so meals are to be prepared off-site and brought in for final preparation and service. On-site parking is limited, and the site recommends considering a shuttle for larger events.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. The live Services & Rates page labels the ceremony-only, full wedding and off-peak options as “Contact for Pricing.” It also directs visitors to request pricing and availability rather than displaying package totals, deposits, taxes or add-on costs.

Ask for a written quote that identifies the date, rental duration, included equipment, rehearsal and pickup access, staffing, any pool-party add-on, tenting or rental arrangements, catering requirements, insurance, taxes and payment schedule. This will help distinguish the venue rental from third-party vendor costs.

Current prices are not published on the official pages reviewed.

Contact and booking

Lindon House lists phone number 250-317-8296 and email address info@lindonhouse.ca. Its online contact form asks for the event type, preferred date, estimated guest count and event details. Tours are by appointment only, seven days a week.

The venue says it typically responds within 24 to 48 hours and advises reserving popular dates six to 12 months ahead. Those are the business’s stated booking guidelines, not a guarantee of availability. Use the contact form, email or phone to request a tour and confirm the current package options for the preferred date.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, confirm the usable guest count for the chosen date and layout, including ceremony seating, dining, dancing and the rain plan. Ask which indoor areas are available if weather changes, whether a tent is needed, who arranges it, and what rental deadlines apply. Confirm the exact hours for the selected package, access for vendors, rehearsal and post-event pickup.

Confirm catering and beverage logistics early. The venue requires professional caterers with food-handling certification and liability insurance, and the kitchen is not commercial. If alcohol will be served, the FAQ says event insurance is required; ask about the current liquor-service rules, bartender requirements and any other venue restrictions. Also confirm parking arrangements, accessibility needs, music and entertainment setup, current vendor policies, cleaning responsibilities and the written cancellation and payment terms.

Profile review and evidence

The official domain clearly identifies Lindon House and provides current wedding-service context, package formats, contact details and a Kelowna address. The identity is supported by the matching Lindon House name, Ethel Street address, Kelowna location, phone number and wedding-focused services on the business’s own website.

Historic documents hosted on the domain were not used as current price evidence because the live services page instead directs couples to contact the venue for pricing. This profile therefore reflects the current live pages and flags details that require direct confirmation.
