The business’s official wedding information confirms that weddings are a core service alongside its lodge and cabin stays.

The property offers exclusive use for weddings, plus cabin and lodge accommodation on site. Its published details are particularly relevant for couples considering an outdoor-and-indoor wedding weekend and willing to coordinate some event essentials with the venue and its approved suppliers.

At a glance

Last reviewed: 2026-08-13. Hillside Lodge & Chalets is an active wedding venue in Golden, British Columbia. The confirmed official website matches the distinctive Hillside, Lodge and Chalets terms in the company record and contains a dedicated Weddings page with venue details, policies and contact options.

The official pages identify the business as being in Golden, B.C., but do not publish a full postal address; no address is included here. The venue states a maximum capacity of up to 100 guests and says it can accommodate about 40 guests on site, with shuttle options for the remainder.

Location stated by the business: Golden, B.C.
Wedding venue maximum: up to 100 guests.
Typical wedding season: late May to late September.
Accommodation is available in cabins and lodge rooms.

Services and specialization

Hillside Lodge & Chalets specialises in weddings at its Golden property. Its official Weddings page describes outdoor ceremonies overlooking the Blaeberry River and Redburn Mountain, followed by receptions in a rustic barn with exposed beams. The venue also lists cabin and lodge accommodation, a fire-pit and BBQ gathering area, and exclusive use of the entire property.

The business offers single-day and multi-day packages and distinguishes among elopements, intimate weddings and regular weddings. An elopement is described as up to 14 people with limited availability; an intimate wedding is up to 40 people; and the regular wedding offering is for 40 or more people with a full ceremony and reception.

Couples may bring their own alcohol if they meet the venue’s stated requirements, including a professional bartender, a liquor licence and Weddinguard insurance. The venue works with pre-approved caterers and asks couples to check before using another caterer because there is no commercial kitchen on site.

Service area and who it may suit

Hillside identifies its location only as Golden, B.C. and does not publish a broader service radius, so this profile does not assign one. The accommodation offering may be relevant to couples planning a Golden wedding weekend and wanting some of their wedding party or guests to stay at the venue.

The setting may suit couples seeking a nature-facing ceremony and a barn reception. The official FAQ specifically identifies intimate weddings of up to 40 people. For larger events, the 100-person venue maximum is higher than the stated on-site accommodation capacity, so transportation and off-site stays may form part of the plan.

Hillside says it works closely with Golden local vendors. Request its current approved-caterer and vendor information directly rather than assuming a particular supplier is available.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the combination of an outdoor ceremony site, rustic barn reception space and on-site accommodation. The official site also confirms exclusive use of the entire property for weddings, a practical feature for couples planning a private wedding weekend.

Hillside says it has eight cabins and two lodge rooms sleeping up to 28 people in bedrooms, or up to 42 people in total when futons are included. It also permits up to three RVs and three tents, for up to 20 people, subject to fees and limitations.

Important planning limitations are published as well. The venue says it does not supply glassware, dishes, linens or audio equipment. It has no commercial kitchen, and catering outside its approved list requires advance confirmation. Its cabins have limited Wi-Fi and no TVs, which may matter for guests expecting conventional hotel-style amenities.

Pricing

Current pricing is explicitly published. The official site links to 2026 and 2027 wedding pricing pages, but the supplied official-page evidence does not include the price figures or package inclusions. This profile therefore does not reproduce or infer any rate.

The official FAQ confirms that a date is secured by a non-refundable retainer equal to one half of the venue fee. It also states that regular and long-weekend wedding packages require all accommodation for a two- or three-night minimum, while intimate weddings, elopements and midweek events have optional accommodation policies. Guests above 80, up to the 100-person maximum, may be added for a fee.

Request the current pricing document for the intended date and verify inclusions, accommodation minimums, taxes, rental needs, vendor-related costs and payment timing in writing.

Current prices are not published on the official pages reviewed.

Do not assume rentals, catering, alcohol service, accommodation or additional-guest fees are included.

Contact and booking

The official site lists telephone number (250) 344-7281 and email address info@hillsidechalets.com for group bookings. It invites prospective couples to contact the venue about tours and wedding enquiries.

Hillside says tours are scheduled directly with the venue. During summer it does not schedule Saturday tours so as not to disturb weddings, and it generally does not host tours over holidays. The FAQ also says a date is secured only when the non-refundable retainer is paid; a pencilled-in date may not take priority over a party ready to pay the retainer.

What couples should confirm

Confirm that the date is within the venue’s current wedding season and that the preferred format—elopement, intimate wedding or regular wedding—fits the guest list and timing. Hillside says it is not currently offering winter weddings, although it may consider an outdoor ceremony for elopements; treat that as a direct enquiry rather than a standard offering.

Before signing, confirm the current venue fee, retainer deadline, cancellation terms and accommodation obligations. Ask for the current approved-caterer list, clarify bar and insurance requirements, and identify who will supply dishes, glassware, linens, furniture and audio. Confirm the outdoor ceremony backup plan, accessibility needs, transportation and exact accommodation inventory for the event dates.
