Cheekye Ranch is a Squamish wedding venue on the Cheakamus River, about 15 minutes from downtown Squamish. Its official wedding information describes a two-night celebration package on private ranch grounds, with mountain, forest and river surroundings.

The venue is a practical option for couples seeking an outdoor, destination-style wedding where some guests can stay on site. Cheekye Ranch lists glamping yurts, a cabin, camping and RV space as part of its wedding offering, alongside a covered frame tent and event infrastructure.

Services and specialization

Cheekye Ranch offers wedding and event use of a private three-acre venue area. The published standard two-night package includes exclusive use of the grounds, five 15-foot riverside glamping yurts, a washroom and shower building, the Cheekye Day Cabin, a 40-by-80-foot white frame tent with lighting, and room for RVs and tent camping.

Its listed wedding inclusions also cover a ceremony arbour, wooden pews, picnic tables, lawn games, adjacent guest parking, a venue liaison and generators for event and washroom power. Couples may bring their own beverages and caterer, subject to the required liquor licence and Serving It Right permit. The venue also lists a premium two-night package that adds two larger solar-powered yurts, the Atwell Cabin and additional private camping or RV sites.

Service area and who it may suit

The ranch is located along the Cheakamus River, approximately 15 minutes from downtown Squamish and about an hour from Vancouver, according to its official accommodation page. The official site does not publish a complete postal address, so one is not reproduced here.

This setting may suit couples planning a multi-day celebration and those interested in combining the wedding with on-site glamping, cabin accommodation, tent camping or RV camping. It may also suit couples who want to select their own catering and supply alcohol within the venue’s stated licensing requirements. Visits are by appointment because the property is private and operates as a working ranch with free-roaming animals.

Venue setting and accommodation

The wedding grounds are described as having views toward the Tantalus and Garibaldi mountain ranges, with forest and river surroundings. Cheekye Ranch lists five riverside 15-foot glamping yurts in its standard package; it says these sleep 13 people in total. The premium package adds two 24-foot solar-powered yurts, each sleeping six, plus the two-person Atwell Cabin.

The official site also states that guest camping, glamping and RVs can be accommodated on site. Accommodation availability, the number of guests who may stay overnight and the exact allocation of units should be confirmed for the chosen wedding date.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Confirmed features include exclusive use of the stated event grounds, a covered frame tent with lighting, guest parking, ceremony furniture, a bathhouse facility, on-site accommodation options and the ability to use outside catering. The venue also permits taxis, car shares and shuttles for guest transport.

Practical limitations are clearly documented. Cheekye Ranch asks couples to appoint an experienced day-of coordinator to manage wedding-day logistics. Reception dining and catering items such as plates and glasses are not included and must be brought in. Extra rentals are the renter’s responsibility to arrange, set up and remove. Seasonal fire bans can also prohibit open flames, fireworks, sparklers and bonfires.

Guest count and event planning

Cheekye Ranch states that its standard event package includes daytime attendance for up to 150 guests. It says larger daytime groups of up to 300 may be possible for an additional fee and by arrangement. Couples considering a larger event should request a written quote and confirm how the layout, tent, parking, washrooms, noise expectations and overnight stays will work for their guest count.

The ranch supplies 20 wooden pews with approximate seating for 100 guests and 20 six-foot picnic tables with approximate seating for 80. These are useful included items, but they are not a substitute for a full seating, dining and rental plan.

Pricing

Current wedding package pricing is not explicitly published. Couples need to contact the venue for a quote covering the date, guest count, selected package, accommodation, upgrades and any additional services.

The wedding page does publish certain optional or conditional charges: clear tent walls can be added for $800, and the maintenance team can remove event garbage and recycling for an additional $500. These are not a complete wedding price. Confirm taxes, deposits, damage provisions, payment timing and cancellation terms before booking.

Contact and booking

For weddings, corporate events and retreats, Cheekye Ranch directs enquiries to events@cheekyeranch.com. Its Weddings page identifies Mandy Pentland as the wedding and event manager and invites couples to arrange a site tour.

Book a site visit in advance rather than arriving unannounced. The official site says all visits must be scheduled because the ranch is private property and a working operation with animals on the grounds.

What couples should confirm

Before signing, confirm the date’s availability, current package price, daytime and overnight guest limits, exact accommodation allocation, weather plan, tent-wall availability, vendor access, catering setup, bar licensing responsibilities, power requirements and waste-removal arrangements.

Also confirm the day-of coordinator requirement, décor restrictions, fire-ban rules, pet policy, accessibility needs, transportation plan, insurance requirements, deposit and cancellation terms. These details can vary by event and are best recorded in the venue agreement.
