Deciding Where to Elope in Saskatchewan<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

So you’re thinking about eloping in Saskatchewan<\/a>! Maybe you already have a location in mind, or maybe you have no idea where to go. Here are some tips for deciding where to elope in Saskatchewan and choosing the perfect location for your day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, consider the overall environment you envision, and the things you love to do together. Then, sit with your partner, close your eyes, and envision your day. Don’t think about logistics – just describe to each other what you see. Do you spend the day in the forest, at the lake, or out under the prairie sky? Are you alone, with your dog, or some family too? What else do you do that day – is there a cake, a BBQ, a bonfire? Paint each other a picture of the things that will make your day meaningful. Dream big, then narrow down the places that fit your vision. There’s a great list below<\/a> to get you started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you’ve decided on a place, you’ll need to consider the logistics of your elopement location. <\/span>Firstly, what are the nearby options for accommodation, meals, and other potential wedding vendors? T<\/span>hen, where are the specific places you want to include in your day: your ceremony site, other photo locations, a nice spot to eat that yummy picnic lunch? <\/span>Further, how accessible are these locations – if they require walking, can everyone manage? How close do you need to be to a bathroom? What will you do if it rains – embrace it, or go somewhere else, and if so where?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re planning to elope, privacy and intimacy are probably important to you. You want to connect with and focus on each other, without an audience of strangers. Keep this in mind when choosing a specific location for your ceremony. If it’s in an area where there tends to be people, consider a sunrise or sunset ceremony (bonus – amazing light!). You could also hike in further off the beaten path, or explore the surrounding area for something quieter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For locations on on private land, you will need permission from the landowner. If you’re not sure who the landowner is, contact the rural municipality office and they can assist you. On public land, you may need a permit. If you’re in a national park, you definitely do<\/span>. And if it’s Prince Albert National Park you’ve got your eye on, check out this post on eloping in Waskesiu<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great places to elope in Saskatchewan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eloping in the Saskatoon area<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For a low-fuss wedding day close to home, the Saskatoon area is full of gorgeous natural locations for your elopement! The most obvious option is along our beautiful South Saskatchewan river. Cranberry Flats Conservation Area<\/a> offers stunning vistas over the river valley, especially at sunset when the skies truly come alive. For nature lovers, Beaver Creek Conservation Area<\/a> has many hiking trails down to the river. It’s especially lovely when the fall colors are at their peak. Wanuskewin<\/a> is also along the Meewasin Valley Trail, and is truly somewhere special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If beaches are more your style, Saskatoon has got those too! Poplar Bluffs<\/a>, Paradise Beach<\/a>, and the Fred Heal Canoe Launch<\/a> all have long wild stretches of sandy beach. They’re perfect if you’re opting for a sunset ceremony. There are also great stretches of beach at Chief Whitecap Park and various locations right in the city itself. You’ll have to consider that the amount of beach varies depending on water levels. Sometimes there isn’t much beach at all, so plan accordingly! Blackstrap Lake<\/a>, with its scenic views from the hills, and Pike Lake<\/a> are both a short drive from the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
